the fact that the nights here have been cool i
has been warm in the middle Of the day, aHI
especially so between noon and O'Clock. Tlis
has resulted in a good many Of the visitors
taking dip in the ocean between those hours,
and so numerous have the bathers become that
Mayor Stoy has directed the first squad of life
guards TO begin their service for the season On
the first day of June. As a rule, the guards 90
not go into service until the middle Of June.
There is another reason for the Mayor ordering
the guards in service so early. and that is the
meeting of the National Hotel Mems Mutual
Benefit Association in the week Of June > The
Mayor wants the guards to be in perfect form
by that time, for he has promised TO give an ex-
hibition drill to prove 10 the visitors their
efficiency in coping with dangers incident to ac-

parts OF the country this year. This especially
refers to the excursion patronage. for arrange

the East West North and South For the first
time in the history OF the resort special excur-
sions will be run here from Canada While the
resort for the last several years has enjoyed a
large patronage from Canada, the railroad COM

two, and it will be but a matter OF week or
so before the city will have TO establish its
usual lost child bureau at one Of the piers.
1t has been suggested that a law might De
passed by the legislature compelling parents or
guardians to place tags bearing their names
and addresses on all children when they ara
under eight years of age, SO that in event OF
their getting separated and lost from their
parents or friends the police could easily SEND
the child back to it's home or hotel Captain o.
Police Charles W. Maxwell is endeavoring 10
get the city TO supply a quantity Of neat little
tags for this purpose and have them disrriou-
uted among the various hotels and boarding
houses Of the resort in the coming summer 50
that the police will not be bothered with the
care of lost children at headquarters or at the
pier bureau until some parent or guardian calls
for them.
