ATLANTIC CITY, October T. 1904
Officially the bathing season closed last
Friday afternoon or evening, but in re-
ality it is not anywhere near at an end.
But the truth of the matter is that the
appropriation for the services of the life
| guards exhausted, and the mayor
| could not see his way clear to spend any
| more money, therefore he permitted the
guards to go off duty and out with the
| last day of September. But for all that
| there is a great deal of bathing, and the
| guards, or, at least, some of them, rather
| than see people in danger remained on
| duty along the beach front over Sunday
in order that they might be on hand in
| event of their services being needed. The
guards are proud of their record this
| year. for not person has been drowned
since they have been on duty. There were
| three drownings, but two of them oc-
| CURED early in the morning, before the
guards went into service, and the other
occurred at night, an hour or more after
the savers had left the beach. The corps
was without doubt the best the city ever
had.
There is every prospect that the COM
ing season will be a busy one in Atlantic
/
men are preparing for changes in their
| houses which will give them greater ca
| paclty and increased comforts and facili-
| ties. Among the number is DR.. r. B.
| Ludy, proprietor of the Hotel Elberon, at
| the corner of Pacific and Tennessee ave-
| nues. He will bring the walls of the
| house to the street line and will have the
| building raised several feet so that there
| will be a spacious basement In this he
| will establish pool and billiard parlors
smoking and writing and reading rooms.
S. Hudson Vaughn, an architect of this
city, is preparing plans and specifications
for six-story, freproof hotel on South
Kentucky avenue for Samuel Jamison of
Philadelphia. The hotel will be built on
| the site of the old Berkeley Hotel which
| was burned in the beach-front fire two or
| three years ago. 1t will be built of IRON
| brick and stone, and the floors through
| out will be of cement. All of the wood
| used in the interior will be treated with a
| freprooting material, so that the chances
| of conhagration will be reduced to the
minimum. 1t will be one of the handsom-
est hostelries ever built in this city, and it is
| said will be built somewhat on the same
| plans as the Laurel-in- the-Pines at Lake
| wood The foundation is already DONE
and 1t IS estimated that the balance of
| the building will cost somewhere in the
| neighborhood of 100000.
! Senior des Planches. the italian ambas-
| sador, who has been making his home in
| Atlantic city during the past summer
| has taken his departure for his winter
| residence in Washington. Prior to Ieay-
| ing Atlantic City the distinguished for
eigner called upon Chief of Police Harry
| {. Eldrfdge and thanked him for the
| courtesies he had received a. the hands
| of the police department of the city and
| announced that he would make his home
| here again next summer if he remained in
| America. He gave the chief the KEYS to
| the cottage which he had been occupyfng
| and said that his lease would not expire
| until the 10Th of this month, and that he
| wanted the police official to retain the
! Nthi ah I,
| was to deliver them to the owner of the
! property. The ambassador would not de-
| liver the keys to the agent of the owner
! because he had paid for the house until
| October Is and meant to retain possess
| sion, nominally, at least, until that date
