S"OW mas ehurely disappeared here and the golf
course OF the Atlantic City Country Club, at
Mortified, is in excellent playing order AS
natural consequence of the snow having melted
on the links they are not as dry as In summer
when the sun has been shining upon them for
several weeks, but nevertheless they are in good
shape. and there are number Of golfng en-
thusiasts here who are taking advantage of
them
The clubhouse was the scene of large gather
ing on Monday. when the president OF the Coun-
try Club Frederick Hemsley. gave the caddies
their annual dinner. Every year Mr. HemsIey
gives the caddies a turkey dinner on Christmas.
and that day the boys have the clubhouse and
the links to themselves. There is always a
tournament arranged for them, and they heartily
enjoy the entire day. Some OF the lads show re-
fnarkable skill with the clubs, and they have
been known to make as good scores as many OF
their elders who have gone over the course. The
dinner was served in the large dining room Of
the clubhouse Immediately after the tournament,
and the caddies did full justice re the menu PRO-
vided for them. At the conclusion OF the dinner
the boys adjourned to the parlors. and there
they spent the rest OF the day in games ana
music. The affair was witnessed by many of the
members Of the club who went over to help
make merry for the lads who have served them
well on the links
Cod fishing is the principal industry amons
the inlet yachtsmen at this season Of the year
and every day the little feet goes from the inlet
TO place some twenty or thirty miles off the
city to fish. On one Of the beats which left the
inlet on Wednesday of this week Charles
Evermap. Of New-York. who has been spend
ing several weeks at the Hotel Strand. Mr.
Everman is an enthusiastic follower OF Izaak
Walton, and had notion that he would like to
try his hand at cod fishing. He made arrange
ments with one of the boat owners, and when he
went out the fishing was good and large catch
was made 1t remained for Mr.. Everman to
cap the days work with the largest fish of the
haul Just a little while before the return he
felt a tug at his line and it was nearly jerked
from his hand. He believed that he had shark
on the other end and began to work to land 1t.
After some twenty minutes OF hard work he
hauled a mammoth cod alongside and one OF the
fishermen assisted him in landing it in the boat.
II weighed in the neighborhood Of fifty pounds.
Several Phiadelphians coming to this city had
a rather unusual experience the other day. The
coaches In which they were riding broke away
from the locomotive, Just back OF the baggage
car, and while the engine and baggage car
raced ahead at sixty-mile clip the coaches
slowed down and soon came to a full stop The
engineer did not know that coupling had
parted until he reached Egg HaTbor. where it
was signalled to him by the station master. He
stopped anc had 10 go back several miles to
pick up the coaches and their passengers. The
train reached this city several minutes behind
the schedule time.
The newest scheme In the shape Of a slot ma
chine is for the insurance OF bathers. It is said
that the company which purposes this will place
a number OF the machines along the boardwalk.
and by dropping in nickel one will be insured
for $3.50 for twenty-four hours. It is believed
that ii will be a paying thing for the company,
in view OF the small percentage OF drownings
and the thousands Of bathers who would un-
doubtedly take the Ave cents worth or insurance
for the day.
Miss Alice Wilson, Of New-York City, who is
spending a couple Of weeks at the Hotel jack
son. gave a dinner party TO Few friends who

was set in Of the small private dining rooms,
and was laid in holly and moss. The decora-
tions were all apropos of the holiday season.

tality were Miss Helen Granger, of Minneapolis;
Miss Grace Henninghan, Of Buffalo; Miss Nina
Redford. Miss Ina Elvins Miss Torrens, Of New
