ATLANTIC CITY, December 8, 1894.
That a modern station. second only to the
terminals in Camden and Jersey City, will
replace the old ashsoned Pennsylvania oe-
pot here before the summer season OF 1870
is the interesting report current in railroad
circles. There will be, 1t is said. stately
brick and stone building with a second
floor trainshed, into which all passenger
trains will run on an elevated structure
from the thoroughfare drawbridge. Inc
railroad company owns all the ground area
needed and there are7no serious engineering
problems to be solved in connection Win
the contemplated Improvement.
Property owners along the beach In the
Georgia and Florida avenue district nave
had proof during thes past few days that
the project to establish a big amusement
park in that vicinity has not been aoah-
doned Options that were taken and allow
ed TO expire during the fall are being quiet
" renewed, although owners are demand
ing increased prices for their holdings.
The past week was marked by the most
important transactions In real estate thaI
the city has seen in years. One OF the lars
est and by far the most interesting deals
of this kind took place at the Hotel Rudoii,
when the Atlantic City Convention Han
Company recently Incorporated at trenton
with a capital stock of $4,000 purchaseo
from Charles r. Myers, proprietor oI .ne
Hotel Rudolf. certain portions OF the many
beach front sites Mr.. Myers owns. 1t was
only after weeks of negotiation tnat TINS
transaction was put through, and now the
much-agitated convention han lot TINS CITY
will soon be a reality. The land thls coFpo
ration secured Is situated at the corner VI
Missouri avenue and the boardwalk having
a frontage on the ocean of 100 feet and ex-
tending 300 feet on Missouri avenue me
company paid Mr.. Myers Sl1o,ooo Tor TINS
property. No sooner had the deal been
closed than President C, J. CoatsWorth ana
Treasurer o. H. Cuttridge announced the
plans for the new building that this city
has long needed. They stated mat con-
vention hall that will seat 10000 persons
will be erected on the site secured from Mr.
Myers, which will neeessitate the tearing
down of Doyles Thelter, one of the land
marks Of the city. The new building will
be of fire-proof construction and with
marked degree of beauty in Its architecture.
After a consultatien with Prof. w. II.
Carroll of Philadelphia, who is partner
prietor of the Hotel Rudolf decided to
name his Venice-like cottage district now
being built in the southern section OF the
city Marine Park" which. considering the
beauty of the project is most appropriate

to get this work started. A canal $50 feet
