ATLANTIC CITY. August H. 1904.
Tomorrow is recognized by tradition as
the climax of the summer season. ana the
enormous crowds on the island would
seem to verify the tradition. II the ell
max were any bigger the hotels would be
embarrassed to take care of the people.
The traffic from the cities has been
enormous throughout the week. and since
yesterday afternoon the trains on both
| roads have been running in from two to
four sections. On practically every day
of the week the surf has presented a
sight without a parallel in the history of
the resort. The water has been literally
black with humanity for a distance of
from three to four miles. and the bath
houses have been driven to desperation
to fill the demand for costumes.
A momentous event for both the city
and the visitors tranSpired during the
week in the agreement between the OFF,
Gals of the Pennsylvania railroad and
the local authorities as to the paving of
Atlantic avenue. This has been an issue
between them for fifteen years, and the
backbone thOroughfare Of the city has
been reproach to both throughout that
PERIOD. BY the agreement the railroad
will pay $2OO.000 toward the cost of the
work. and almost an equal amount will
be put up by the city. On the completion
of the work. which will start next month,
the avenue will be one of the finest in the
country.
One of the social events of the week
was an immense euchre given at the Ho-
tel Rudolf. Over 100 tables were occu-
pied and were set in the court of the big

given at the same hotel, which was led
