Season.

OCEAN CITY, Nd, June 80, 1902.
Ocean City is fairly launched this week
upon what promises to be the most success
full cruise of her existence.
The attractions of the place have always
been undisputed, with the eyenness Of tenn
perature, clean stretch of beach, and mild
bathing procliviues, and the only drawback
to a Widespread boom of our little Mary
land resort seems to lie in the hitherto
tardy transit. This difficulty, however. is
fast being solved by the various railroad
companies, who purpose to adopt immediate
measures for the convenience Of heat
stricken city refugees.
The formal opening of the Atlantic Ho-
tel took place on the 29th. On this date
the Piimhimmon gave the first formal ger
man Of the season.
The Ocean City Golf and Country Club
will throw wide its hospitable doors shortly
by the opening Of the Atlantic, and is dom
ming many new attractions. through i'm
provements Of club house. tennis courts and
going course.
tious career, Ocean City has not been sloth-
full in preparations. Three new cottages
have sprung up with seemingly mush-
room growth, one being an attractive four
teen-room annex to the Plmhimmon, a
finely equipped drug store on the beach
front. and an expensive bath house for the
accommodation Of excursionists Is placed
between the Mount Pleasant annex and
life saving station.
The long struggle between city authori-
ties and transient summer proprietors for
city water has resulted in victory for the
latter. A stand-pipe one hundred and ten
feet high and plumbing station in the
town call attention to the fact that the
tire place is now supplied satisfactorily
with city water.
