The National tribune., 1910-08-04

pier on Monday evening at o'clock,
namely, the reception of the Woman'S
Citizens Committee of Atlantic City.
The scheme for distributing tickets
for entertainment diversions is as
follows: A booth will be provided in
some prominent place, where all vet
Grams may register their own names,
the names of the members of the family
with him or friends which may accom-
pany them, with the place and state
from which they hail and the name of
the hotel at which they are stopping
Upon the payment of 25 cents for this
registration the entertainments, night
and day, for the week and the ocean
trips may be obtained. The hotels of
Atlantic City are bearing their share of
the expenses at the Encampment con-
nected herewith, and the registration
above referred to is for the purpose of
assisting the committee in Keeping
proper check with the hotels in refer
ence to this business feature. 1t is
departure, but 1t is claimed by the En-
tertainment Committee that while such
a plan has heretofore been untried it
will work out in a satisfactory manner
in a business way and to the general
comfort of the veterans and their
friends.
That The National Tribune is extern
sively read thruout the United States
may be well for them to make a mental
note of this feature at the Encamp-
ment, and look for our program on
their arrival here, which will contain
the location of these registration
booths.
Grand Stand.
A grand and reviewing stand will be
erected between the City Park and the
Boardwalk on a space of ground that
l,1
prints of this stand will show a circle
of seats in the center, about 100 in
number, which will be exclusively in
the charge of the Chief
as will also the 1000 central seats i'm
mediately in the rear be distributed at
his discretion, probably pro rata, to the
A Assistant Adjutants- General of the
order.
Horses and Carriages.
Capt. s. E. Perry has charge of this
portion of the work for the Encamp-
ment About all the horses that are
available have been taken up for the
Commandcr-in-C Chief and his official
family. The horse is not very numer-
Gus on this island, and yet those desir-
ing horses for the parade may obtain
same by sending Sc to Capt S. E. Per-
ry, Chairman, who will have tag put
on the bride of same and reserve for
him for that day.
Hotels.
Albert T Bell, Chairman There are
about l 900 hotels and boarding houses
in this city. ranging in price per day on
the American plan from 81 to IS per
day, except unusually large and we'll
located rooms that go eFea much high
er than the latter figure. So far as tine
price and the number of hotels is con-
tl,n
part of people coming t. Atlantic City.
There has never been time when
there were as few hotels that nave
asked above the price which they
agreed to with the committee as there
has been here. There are always a few
Icontemptible exceptions. 1t is some
times thought by hotel proprietors that
la price of so cents a day per person
above the price agreed upon will not
amount to much, and in some cases
would not be noticed, but in a case like
the Department of the Potomac, who
are making arrangements for 500 peo-
pie, this so cents per day additional
would make $3.50 a day difference, or
S1,500 for the six days. 1 mention this
at this place for particular reason.
When our comrades come here with
their friends they viii find Information
booths and polite attendants at the
same, who will hand hem what we
here denominate the program booklet.
This booklet wifi contain q list of be-
tween 500 and 700 hotels and boarding
houses that have agreed to the scheme
referred to above. 1t is desired that
our friends should not stop at any ho-
tells that are not listed in this booklet.
The price for a room for a single per-
son, for room for two people, an extra
large room for ore person or an extra
large room for two persons Is all noted
in this booklet If any extra charge
over the prices obtained the Hotel Com
mittee here will rectify the same upon
the complaint of anyone. There will
be information booths ut the Pennsyl-
vania and Reading Depots and at points
on the Boardwalk and possibly on At
lantic avenue.
