VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, July g.
The Fourth of July crowds that an
nually come to this resort arrived IN
goodly numbers during the first part
or the week. TO say that most OF
, them were more or less agreeabiy
surprised at the changes on the ocean
front would be speaking mildly. They
were very evidently .cnthusiastic
From .sunsct to midnight the board
walk was filled with the promenaders.

year. that anybody who wants to see
anybody win look toward the board
walk during the promenade hours

some Of those amusement structures
which were more or less dilapidated
have been transformed into attractive

also expended on the boardwalk. In
addition TO the rebuilding OF that sec

walk has been widencd to double It's
former Width and has been lined with
a system or electric lights that makes
t the night as bright as day. For dis
lance OF .oYer two miles this prom
erade paralleling the ocean front Is
as attractive as one could wish. 1t Is
