ATLANTIC CITY. March 13, 1909.
All the questions as to moving the
Boardwalk oceanward between Maryland
and Connecticut avenues were decided at
the meeting of the city council Monday
night. In order to move it all property
owners in three blocks must agree. If
one owner dissents it blocks the scheme.
In this case several owners have dis
sented and that settles all hope of getting
the Boardwalk moved oceanward.
The weather continues fine, to the great
delight OF the visitors. The latter part of
this week has been veritable May
weather. and overcoatS, that Is. heavy
ones, have been the exception rather than
the rule. Lots of people go along the
Boardwalk during the daylight hours
without any sign Of wraps whatever.
There are times when it is quite windy
along the Boardwalk. and it blew quite
hard the other afternoon when two or
three couples from New York arrived at
the upper end of the promenade. An
idea was born in the mind of one of the
young women.
Let us sail down the Boardwalk in our
roller chairs.'' she cried.
"Yes, let's" added another who was
struck by the novelty of the scheme.
Not many people were on that portion
of the walk at the time. The young men
secured boards, and from them hung their
coats and rigged sails. They kept the
pusher as helmsmen and started away
The wind caught their inSpromptu sails
and soon they were going at rapid
clip. and 1t was all the pushers could do
to keep up with the procession. They
would liked to have made the trip all the
way down the walk, but when they ar
rived at Heinzs pier their fun was stop
ped by a guardian of the peace.
One of the features that will be quite at
tractive to horse owners who will particl
pate in the eleventh annual show of the
Atlantic City Horse Show Association;
on the million-dollar pier, April 8. o and
10. is that stabling. bedding and feed
will be furnished free. The published prize
list shows seventy-one classes. The ring
will be 1913 by SO, which is just two feet
shorter and three feet narrower than the
Madison Square Garden ring, New York.
There will be entrance and exit spaces
from the ring. In order that every one
will have opportunity Of seeing well. am
phitheater seats will be erected about the
ring Among those who have already en-
