ural sequence to the tournament scores Of
players who could not possibly get on the
links at any other time last week were
out, wanting to try some of the shots they
had seen made by the crack players of the
country. The links also became a social
rendezvous and there were many merry
parties there daily.
Great preparations are being made by
Proprietor Howard of Hathaway Inn for

tiful lawn of the hotel Monday ght. 1t

that development at Sea Girt Will come

ATLANTIC CITY, N ]. August 81, 1907.
This week in all probability will be the
last real big week of the summers crush
Of visitors. It Is not as large as last week
In point Of numbers of visitors. but in
spite of that fact there are thousands Of
people here. and many more will arrive to-
day to spend the weekend and remain over
Labor day, next Monday. While the sum-
mer was late in making itself felt and
many people stayed at home who usually
repaired to the shore in June, still the busi-
ness Of this month has been so unusually
great that it has more than made up what
was lost earlier in the season. But there
will be an exodus after Monday Many
people who have been living at the shore
all summer, in hotels or cottages will 20
back home this week in order that their
children may be ready to enter the fall
school term and not lose any time. Hotel
men are agreed that the season has been
unusually good despite the lateness In
several banking institutions, in which de-
posits are shown to be far heavier than last
year, seem to bear out their statements
The outlook for the fall business Is es-
hotels reservations have been made well
into November. and In several instances
up to the winter holidays. 1t has been an
nounced by several proprietors that they
will keep their hotels open all the year in
the future, another indication Of prosperity
and faith in an ever-increasing amount Of
winter business.
The city engineer has announced that
work on the construction of the new Board
walk 800 feet nearer the ocean between
Connecticut and Maine avenues, will prob
ably be started about the first Of October.
The accretions made by the action of tide
and wave at that end of the island have
been so great that the Boardwalk in its
present location Is back over 400 feet from
the water in some places The city will
probably construct the pillars and girders
of the new Boardwalk of concrete The
action of the elements the steel sub
structure of the present Boardwalk has
caused it to rust so badly in places that
holes have been discovered in some of the
great steel beams There is some talk that
the city will have all of the present steel
substructure incased in concrete, the same
as was done by the Steel Pier Company
last spring. If this is done it will cost
An immense amount of money, but once
done it would provide Boardwalk which
nothing but an act of Providence could
destroy.

scarcely mile and half. In place Of
