NEWS NOTES FROM THE HOTELS

When three sections of the excursion
train last Sunday, aside from several
expresses, had emptied several thous-

tells scattered along the five miles of
magnificent board walk, scattered them
on the piers and pavilions, the scene
was at once spicey and decidedly alive.
Saturday saw its crowds arrive. The
baggage men were forced to put on ex-
ira teams as we'll as men in order toget
the budget of trunks distributed among
the several hundred hotels and great
and small boarding houses. The
weather Saturday and Sunday was de-
lightful and the bathing simply mag
nificent. The crowd that hit the glad

was the largest, absolutely, of the sea-

furious from ten O'Clock until late in
the afternoon.
