ATLANTIC CITY. September %. 1904
The weather has been so pleasant here for
the last few days that Mayor Stody has re-
considered his intention of laying OH LIE
guards. There have. been so many bathers
that it was considered reasonable and wise
to retain several ofsthe guards, especially
in the places where there are the greatest
number of bathefs: All guards were to have
been laid off on Monday morning last. but
when the chief executive found that there
was such large number of people taking
daily dips in the Surf he decided that it would
be better to retain a humber of the guards,
and therefore fourteen of the oldest and
best men in the service are still doing duty
between New York and Maryland avenues.

day the life guards rescued four persons
who had gotten out too far makes Mayor
Stoy feel that his decision was a proper
one, and compensates for any extra ex-
pense the city may have incurred in the re-
tention of the life savers.

feet of water, is one of the unusual sights
witnessed onsthe beach in the vicinity of
HeinZ's pier during the present week. The
sand has washed in close to the old pier
in such quantities that It has formed a mar
row lane leading to bar that is bare at
low water. and the youngsters. seeing their
opportunity, drove their pony carts out to
the bar which stretches from Massachu-
sets avenue to ST. Charles place. Between
the youngsters and the shore the breakers
rolled and hundreds of people bathed, but
they drove up and down. happy and
tented. for nearly an hour. when the rising
tide threatened to cut them off, and then
they came ashore.
The Hotel Westminster was the scene of
a happy gathering of young people last
Monday night. The event was in honor of
