Made By a Visitor-A ConUent'on
Week-BasebaH Under Wdy.

travel toward Atlantic City remains as strong as
though the great cities were baking under tropl-
cal instead of shivering IN overcoat weather.
The early days of the week were cold and rainy,
and at the same time the island was crowded and
the people seemed to be having as much fun as IN
midsummer days, when they have the knowledge
that the people in town are sweter1ng, and they
are catching all the cool breezes that blow. The
engagements at the hotels continue to be unpre-
cedentedly heavy. ana the indications are that the
capacity of the island will be put TO its greatest
test next week.
Elaborate preparations have been made for the
celebration of the Fourth next week, and pract1-
caly every in the city has been engaged for
that date Coming rs it does on Saturday, the
crush will continue for several days, and from that
time all indications point to season OF Won
derful prosperity until late in September The pro-
gramme for the glorious Fourth includes schedule
of water sports by both the Ventnor and Seaside
Yacht clubs which will include marine parades in
the morning and races in the afternoon. The At

parade and by the big boats, which VIII De

sporting events and the city has made a heavy ap-

gree but the number of bathers increases daily.

protection against accidents, and if there are any
cases of drowning during this season IL II VIII hoI

of resuscitatng persons overcome IN the water
and his suggestion Will be adopted Meulcile
chests will also be located at points along the
bathing beach, and the Mayor has appointed addl-
tional guards, whose duty Il will be to look atter
the life lines and buoys exclusively There Is some
talk also of adopting the of mortars for throw"

reckless swimmers VINO insist on giving long dis
tance exhibitions of their skill and prowess-
The first daring rescue of the season was made
by visitor instead of one of the newly appointed
guards John NJ. Patterson. Assistant District AT
tornev of Philadelphia was walking the steel
pier in company with a young woman, when ne

rent He threw off his hat and coat, sprang over
hoard and grabbing the mperilled man by the
back of the neck towed him TO a place of safety
under the pier from which he was taken by the
guards. 49,,
