ATLANTIC CITY, October II, 1908.
This is one of the best times of the year
| In which to visit Atlantic City The
| weather here could not be more accept
| able had it been made to order. The days
are bright and the air balmy and the
nights cool and "sleepabe.' That many
believe this is the best time of year Is ev-
idenced by the large number of people
CHARTERED in the various hotels Of the re-
| sort. Many Of the large beach-front hos
| telries are entertaining almost as many
people as during the height of the Lenten
| season. 1t Is becoming more and more an
all-year resort. There are many here now
who have heretofore made their winter
home In Florida. They will stay all win
spells, yet In the main the weather is good
and the season wholly enjoyable and more
healthy than the warm climate Of the ex-
IRENE south.
One of the things that has aided in
making this an all-year resort is the num-
Der of conventions which have chosen At
lantic City as an annual meeting place.
There have been four conventions on dur
Ing the week just closing, the largest of
which was the American Street and Inter-
urban Railway Association. which was
attended by nearly 5000 delegates and
their families and friends. The resort has
become one OIL LQo most popular COnVeU-
ton cities in the country. and the number
Of conventions meeting here is growing
every year.
Efforts are being made by hotel and
business men to secure for 1911 the ma
tional convention of the Christian En-
deavor Society. 1t is estimated there will
be 10000 delegates to that convention,
and Atlantic City wants it.
A part of Atlantic City golfing enthu-
siasts travelled more than 400 miles in au-
fopoObi1oS m n1av golf Uapk n the

Lakewood, Garden City. Englewood, Short
Hills, Montclair and BaltusrOl.
The best time that has yet been made
over the electric line between this city
and Camden was accomplished Monday
afternoon of this week. when a special
train bearing bandsmen for the carnival
parade was run to the resort in one hour
and twenty minutes. Supt. David H.
Lowell Of the West Jersey and Seashore
railroad was the motorman for the trip,
and as the time was eighty minutes for
the fifty-nine miles it will be readily seen
that he gave the train every bit of speed
that was in the motor.
