ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. July l. 1905.
representative throng, both as to num-
bers and standing, was on the Boardwalk
today. and the bathers were out In strong
force all week. Animation. encouraged by
the presence of such gathering and en-
phasized by the warm. clear weather, could
scarcely have been greater
Not only is there large Fourth of July
holiday crowd. but among those who are
here are many representatives of the most
fashionable as well of the more infor-
NAL classes The beginning of the great
excursion season is now on, and cheap
fares will bring tens of thousands of visi-
tors to the city who will make up IN the
aggregate of their expenditures what they
may lack in their expenditure individually.
Their coming does not mean that the rich
are going or that the character of patron
age at this resort is deteriorating or be-
coming less valuable. Each class supple
ments the other, and there is ample rep
resentatfon of them ALL The widening or
the central part of the Boardwalk causes
the crowd to seem thinner than Ii did In
the days Of the lesser width. But even
with the promenade widened the crowd to-
soon be ablaze with light at night and
present a fairy-like scene. Over 5000 In
candescent electric lamps are being hung
in festoons along the outer edge or the
walk. between Maryland ana Illinois ave
nues This extra illumination will be paid
for by the city during July and august.
and will hereafter become permanent
feature.
