ATLANTIC CITY, May 10, 1906
The next feature of general public inter-
est that will take place in Atlantic City
is the annual floral rollingchair parade,
which will be held on the boardwalk on
Friday afternoon, June 30. This is one of
the biggest attractions of the spring in the
resort. and thousands of people come here
TO see the spectacle. 1t is fashioned after
the great floral festival which has always
been held In San Francisco, except that
here in Atlantic City the vehicles con-
fined TO the rolling chair idea. Hundreds
OF dollars are speSEA natural floral deco
rations, and as a rule the parade of chairs
is nearly or quite a mile long.
There is some talk to the effect that the
board of freeholders will be asked to illu-
inmate the new boulevard across the mead
ows Tor the benefit of those who want to
ride back and forth across that stretch of
road to the mainland at night during the
coming summer, but there is little like
lhood that the freeholders will grant such
request because of the great expense that
would be incurred, and beside, there are
few of the younger and unmarried visi-
tors who will insist upon any such pro-
ceeding. 1t would rob the summer moon
of her beauty, and romance. which flies
strong here during the season. would be
killed deader than mosquito in vitriol
bottle.
