ATLANTIC CITY October 81. 1908.
| The weather with which Atlantic City
has been favored during the present fail.
and still enjoys. is past all understanding.
It has been warm all along and is still
warm enough to induce lot e the
visitors to take ocean dips and such
| thing as overCoats and heavy wraps
| usually found in plenty so late in the
| season have been almost an unknown
quantity. There have been no cold storms,
| and, in fact, no storms at all to mention,
all of which is gratifying to the visitors
| in the resort, although the country sur
| rounding shows the great need of rain.
| Even the rain which made its appear
ance on Wednesday afternoon and even
| ing was not the least bit cold, and re
sembled an April shower rather than an
| October rain. The good weather has
| been the means of keeping hotels filled
that perhaps would otherwise have been
pretty well empted The October bust
| ness has been about twice as great as
| October of previous years. Everybody
| is looking for a cold, northeast storm
| but as yet there is not the slightest indi-
cation that the weather clerk has made
| any change in his orders for Atlantic
| City weather.
| The members OF the Morris Guards, a
! local military club. are arranging TO in
stall indoor tennis courts in their big
drill shed, and when the work is accom-
| plshed they will have tournaments and
| bring some of the best amateur players
| of the country to the city. The tourna-
| ments will be run under the auspices of
the Athletic Association of the. Guards
and for the opening tournament. which
will probably be held somewhere near
| the first of the new year. they will try
to bring Champion Gould and other well
known celebrities together in a spectacu-
lar contest The announcement of this
plan is exciting a great deal of interest
here among tennis players, local and
visiting.
