Happy Throng at saItair.

The blare of pedestrians and steam
pianos, the music of bands. the shrieks of
excited feminine bathers, the maxim-like
explosions of motor cycles and the lin
guistic efforts of leather-lunged bankers

ear of Mr.. Damrosch. but the result was
a symphony to the 1900 free-born citi-
Zens. citizenesses and citiZenettes who
sought Saltair as place to celebrate the
glorious Fourth. All previous records
were broken for the number of people who
bathed during the day and bath rooms
were at a premium. Over 1900 people en-
tered the water. Every one OF the big
crowd found some means of gratifying
the feeling of exuberance which expanded
every chest. The roller coaster. the old
mill. the skating rink. the bicycle races,
all had their devotees. while the muscular
citizens proudly exhibited what they
would do to their pet particular enemy
with the aid of the punching bags and
striking machines. The dominant note OF
the crowd was its good nature They
pushed and crowded and perspired with
the utmost jollity and If anyone felt their
angry passions begin to rise they were
quickly laughed out of their i'll humor by
the crowd.

In arranging the interior of the new
Commercial Club building, it has been
suggested that arrangements be made for
the accommodation of the Manufactur-
ers and Merchants association. The plan
proposed is that the Manufacturers and
Merchants association be given o11lces
convenient to the Commercial CiuD rooms;
so that the members of the Commercial
club could find both places easy OF ac-
cess under one roof.
The NJ & M, it is said, would continue
its present line of activities, but in closer
touch with the activities of the CONNER
cial club.
This union. it is said, would be addi-
tionally desirable when the new freight
bureau of the Commercial club is estab-
lished, as members of the club and of
the NJ & NJ association will have bust
ness with the bureau
