| Many visitors from New York, Philadel-
phia, Washington and other places enjoyed
| the Thanksgiving holidays at leading At
lantic City hotels. The weather was ideal
for this season of the year, and the crowd
| was larger here than at any other cor
| responding period. Special menus were
| served al all the hotels, and the decorations
| in dining rooms and exchanges were elab-
] crate and effective. One of the special
! features of the day largely attended by
visitors and residents was a hot game OF
| foot ball at Inlet Park between teams rep
resentng the Atlantic City Morris Guards
and the artillerymen from Fort Mott

needing rest and recreation at this season
| of the year. This winter the hotel colony
| has been more representative of the best
| American society than ever before, and the
| outlook for the remainder of the season is
| most promising.
