TENDER OF 1908 has been the most successful At
lantio City has ever experienced The weather has
been exceptionally good and the crowd remarkable
as TO size surprising in numbers the visiting pop
uIatIon for June and giving every promise Of con-
tinued gayety for goodly part of October.
The influx last Sunday took the hotel men by sur
prise What remarkable was the patronage
extended to bathing houses, which had been kept
open on the bare possibility that the day might
be warm and the crowd large There seems now
to be a likelihood of well filed hotels over Sunday

declined TO keep open in the winter. because It
made Tie experiment last year and dropped some

an increased number of winter visitors this year
there wouldn't be any loss but the pier people
corldn,t see it The hotel men replied that It was
absolutely necessary to have entertainment or the
right SORT for the city's winter patrons. and the
pier company came back with a proposition: we Il
let YOU have the pier free, and the services OF It's
manager IN the bargain, if you care TO take ho!o
and run it at your own risk The Hotel Men >
