ATLANTIC CITY. December %, 1904.
On the eve OF the holidays this resort has
taken on an aspect of increased activity
that bids fair to excel any Christmas sea-
son the city has ever known. That there
will be thousands of people here next week,
and that the best accommodations at the
more important hotels will be at a pre-
MUM when Christmas arrives. is acknowl-
edged by the bonifaces of these establish
ments, who state that the coming week
will be on par with the great crowds here
during the busy Easter season. This more
than demonstrates that Atlantic City is
fast being recognized as the all-year-round
resort.
All Of the hotels have made special ar
rangements for the entertainment of their
large number of patrons who will be here
over the holidays. There will be any num-
Der of dances and other pleasant social fea-
lures and the week will be a most merry
one.
II Is the Intention to reduce the time in
running trains from this city to Philadel-
phia and New York, owing to the increased
demand that has been made by the travel
ing public for quick ride. The trains
now running from Philadelphia to this city
make the trip in sixty minutes. The Phil
adelphia and Reading railroad has an
nounced that it will run a fifty-minute
train regularly here all next season, and
this announcement has brought forth
similar statement from the Pennsylvania
railroad.
Mrs. E. N Brown of this city has had
plans drawn for a four-story brick hotel,
containing sixty rooms, which will be ready
for the summer season. and be erected at
Connecticut avenue near the Boardwalk.
An effort will be made in city council to
pass an ordinance calling for the heating of
several of the pretty pavilions along the
boardwalk for the winter patrons of the

finding 1t too cold at times to remain on the
eSplanade, can enter one or the pavilions
and enjoy an uninterrupted ocean view 1t
will be one of the greatest and most popu-
lar moves the citycouncil could make, and
one that would be greatly appreciated by
the thousands of visitors who come here
during the colder weather
