sort. Fifty or more Atlantic City men, ac-
companied by Mayor Stoy, made the trip,
the purpose of which was to make arrange
| ments for the annual convention of the Ma
tonal Hotel Mems Association in this city
next May.

nue., near the beach, reopened for the sea-
son last Wednesday under the management
Of j. o. & ]. e. Dickinson. This house has
been thoroughly renovated and refurnished
throughout, and is one of the best-equipped

The travel incident to Washington's birth
day filled all the hotels which are now open.
The time has never been before when there
were so many visitors in the resort at this
time and that, too, in view of the fact that
there are far more hotels doing winter bust
ness this year which have heretofore been
closed until they were ready to open for the
Easter season. The trains which rolled into
Atlantic City from Canada, New York. New
England, Philadelphia, the south and the
west during the week were crowded with
visitors. railroad men say that travel is
exceptionally heavy for this season. New
York travel is the most amazing of all this
year. While New York has always led in
the matter of numbers at the resort during
the winter and spring, yet there was never
anything like the number in prior years as
there is at this time. There We're so many
promenaders on the Boardwalk yesterday
that one was inclined to forget all of the I'M
pleasant weather of the last two or three
weeks, and live only in the present where
all is sunshine and happiness. The registers
of the hotels show that travel is ever on the
increase, in spite of the spell of exasperat-
ing weather which the resort has passed
| through. But even in this respect Atlantic
City has been far better off than MANY 9th ar
places, unless it be directly in tropical eli
mates. Hotel men are confident that in
week or two there will be a larger increase
of the number of visitors here and they are
preparing themselves accordingly to take
care of them
