ATLANTIC CITY. July 1. 1904
July opens In Atlantic city with q record
| crowd. although the big season Is now In
| full blast. At the same time the hotels
were never 50 crowded at the first Of the
month as today, and the usual patron
age of the winter and spring months prom
ises to eliminate ina reeord-breaking sum-
mer season. Practically all of the hotels
are filled, with the Indications pointing to
crowded conditions by the time the last
trains are in tonight. The triple-headed
| holiday caused by the Fourth falling on
Monday means a great crush here over to-
morrow and Monday. The glorious weather
of the past week has opened the bathing
season in full swing, and the scenes of mid
summer are now the order of every morn
ing along the bathing beach. The unusual
precautions taken against bathing accidents
have thus far proven effective in the pre-
vention of even the slight mishaps incl
dent to great crowds In the water The ex-
pert and reckless swimmers have, as usual,
caused some exciting scenes by pretending
to be In distress and then laughing at the
guards when they go to the rescue, but on
Monday night the city council will pass
resolution authorizing the guards to arrest
any bather refusing to obey them while In
the surf.
A noisy observance of the Fourth will be
checked by the police. There will be many
amusing features, but the use of explosives
will be prohibited. The Country Club will
be the scene of several golf events.
The city has provided for the illumination
of the court of honor and ten blocks of At
lantic avenue, as arranged during the jubi-
lee celebration throughout the summer.
The festoons of electric lights will also be
extended out to Missouri avenue, in Chel
sea.
