BY w. III. BAGLEY.

Norfolk. Va, June 25.-It is pos
sible that no other place in the
South has the same right as Norfolk
and vicinity to the claim of being the
Atlantic City of the South Atlantic
Coast. The resorts here have been
placed under the management of the
ablest resort specialists and every
encouragement has been given by the
transportation companies, with the
result that thousands of seekers after
pleasure visit the resorts around this
city every day in the good old sum-
mer time.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been invested at each of these
resorts. The combined capital rep
resented by the four or five principal
resorts of this community reaches up
beyond ten million dollars according

ment to the memory of those who
went down in the craft when heroic
efforts were made by the beach peo-
pie to save the wretched crew of for
eigners. Many a romance is woven
about the cozy hooks and corners OF
the popular hotel.
In recent years Virginia Beach has
kept pace with the most progressive
resorts of the North. Pleasure pavil-
lions, miles of board walks, new to-
boggan slides and all of the appur-
tenances of an up-to-date "Coney
Island have been added at one ex-
treme of the beach, while numerous
handsome and attractive cottages
have been erected beyond the hotel.
Cape Henry.
Cape Henry is comparatively q new
resort. Within the past few years
an electric car line has been built
from Norfolk to the cape and cars
run at brief intervals. There is no
cooler place in summer. no breezier
resort than Cape Henry, and it is un-
doubtedly one of the most desirable
places in the entire country at which
to build q summer home. Properly
here has not been advanced to such
a degree as 10 discourage probable
purchasers ard the choice location is
attracting many to make their homes
here in the hot months.
Ocean View.
Ocean View is popular with all
classes The Ocean View Hotel ap-
peols only to the best social ele-
ment, while the resort caters to all
amusement seekers from the city CT
Norfolk and gives them opportun-
ity each evening to find every sport
that is to be had at New Yorks Coney
Island.
There is always something doing
in the way of entertainment at this
popular resort The casino is one of
the most complete summer theaters
in the United States. 1t is under the
personal direction of Otto Wells, a
brother of Jake Wells, who is at the
head of the Wells Amusement Co.
A variety of entertainments, embrace
ing vaudeville musical comedies and
operas is presented by sAe best pro-
fessional talent. The casino manage
ment caters especially to ladies and
children. A roller coaster, carousel
and laughing gallery, a scenic rail-
way, bowling alleys, ETC., offer amuse-
ment to thousands of visitors daily
while the unsurpassed bathing, boat
ing and fishing opportunities have
always proven the mainstays of the
resort.

Norfolk to Ocean View are superb.
A double-track electric system, a par:
of the system of the Norfolk street
railways, has cars every few minutes
and the trip is free from the annoy
ances so often found by those travel
ling for pleasure. These car
lines have their own connections
with the Seaboard Air Line and Nor
folk and Southern trains from North
Carolina points and are easily reach
ed from the terminals of the other
railroads.
All in all there are enough attrac-
tions in and around Norfolk to make
it a leader in the resort-centre-world
and statistics show that the total
number of visitors to this city during
the summer months has increased
over 500 per cent. during the past five
years, which is a record difficult to
equal anywhere else in this country.
