ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April H. 1905.
| One of the most important developments
of the spring season which has not gener-
ally been noticed is the astonishing in
| crease in visitors from other points beyond
| Philadelphia to Atlantic City. During the
| past week, in the published lists of ar
rivals, not more than one in twenty per-
sons who registered came from Philadel-
phia or-nearby points This proves the
growing national Importance of the resort.
| and shows what the hotel men have always
contended. that it was only necessary to
make the public acquainted with springs
charms at the shore and the visitors would
multiply until they would overwhelm even
the great capacity of Atlantic City with
their numbers. That stage has almost been
reached. The scarcity of Philadelphians is
noticeable because they have not yet
started shoreward, but they will be here in
big punches the coming week, and VIII
find all the hotels filed. The congestion in
the hotels has provoked more discussion for
additional houses. The Marlborough, con-
fident of the future growth of business, will
double its capacity next fall, and other
hotel men are considering the Improvement
and the enlargement of their houses. The
popula ton upon which this resort can draw
upon for patronage is so great that it can
accommodate double the number of hotels
on this island if they can be started INTO
| the habit of coming in this direction for the
enjoyment of the salt water the Board
walk, and all the faScina tons or the sea-
son.
