ATLANTIC CITY. June "A. 1894.
The promoters of the golden jubilee cele-
bration builded wisely when they fixed the
date for that event in the middle of June
on the theory that it would start the sum-
mer rush a couple of weeks ahead of
schedule time. The city was crowded last
week, and is even more so this week. Sew
eral of the beach front hotels have been
Obliged 10 convert the parlors into sleep
Ing apartments. something that does not
usually happen before August. The
weather has been glorious. and all of the
summer diversions are In full swing Near
!y all OF the life guards are now on duty,
and the preparations for safeguarding the
batherS are far more elaborate than ever
before and are on a scientific basis. The
appointment OF DIR. Reckwith formerly of
New York, as beach physician. has re-
suited already in tie installation Of many
devices for protecting the bathers that are
new. Dr. Beckwith has his headquarters
on the ocean pier, from which he can be
summoned by telephone from any point
along the beach. He is supplied with "a
special rolling chair and attendant and a
gong wili be used as warning to all other
chairs and pedestrians that he has the
right of way. which will enable him to
reach the scene of an accident within a
few seconds after the alarm has been
hospitals at several points along the beach.
On next Monday night city council will pass
an ordinance authorizing the beach guards
to arrest any bather refusing to obey warn
lngS to keep within certain bounds. Law
yerS say such arrests would be legal II
made on the score of disorderly conduct.
II has been shown that large majority Of
drowning accidents are caused by defiance
OF warnings from the guards and by fool
hardy exhibitions of skill in the water.
The officials of a wireless telegraph COM
pany have secured permission from the pro-
prtetor of the Hotel Rudolf to erect their
apparatus In the tower Of the hotel which
IS the highest point on the island, barring
the lighthouse.
The city council has authorized the jubi-
lee directors to continue the illumination
