ATLANTIC CITY, March 6. 1909.
There has never been anything at the
shore Mke the crowds which have visited
here this spring. There have been large
numbers here at other times during the
early part OF July, but nothing like the
number OF people now quartered in the
hotels. Last Sunday the Boardwalk was
filled with visitors. and It was the hap
piest and broadest smiling gathering that
one could find In the world over. There
are bright prospects that this weekend
will be even larger that Of the week ago.
That portion of Heinz's pier which is
used as a connecting link between the

will be used until such time as the walk
can be completed between Connecticut
avenue and the pier.

end OF which she will keep her private
launch. She wants the pier for her per-

because she does not want to go to
the trouble Of walking couple OF blocks
to the inside thoroughfare when she feels
like taking q sail on the ocean.
