ATLANTIC OCEAN RESORTS
Evidence .of the Growing Importance
Of North CaroIina's Popular Re-
sorts, WrishtsviIIe, and Carolina
Beaches-Approaching Sea-
son Will be Big One.
Aae---,AAA.

The rapidly approaching season will
unquestlonably be the best in the his
tory Of Wrightsville and Carolina
Beaches, the delightful summer resorts
in close proximity to Wilmington.
Practically every organization of i'm
portance will meet at Wilmington and
Wrightsville between June 1st, and
September 1st among which are
| the United Commercial Travellers
Of the Carolinas, the North Caro-
lima Press Association, North Car
olina Good Roads Association;
State Medical Society, State Den
tai Society, the Bar Association,
the Bankers Association, State Coun-
ell, Jr. O. u. A M, the North Caro-
lima Architects, and probably others.
Nearly, if not quite all, the associa-
tons will take side trip down the
Cape Fear river with probably a stop
at Carolina Beach, as no trip to Will
m ngton is complete without a trip
on the steamer Wilmington.
One of the most important of the
many Improvement at Wrightsville
Beach is the enlargement of larry
moore Hotel, Mr.. W. J. Moore,
manager, the excellent hotel hav-
ing added another wing to the
are so well appointed rooms and
equipped with all the convenences
of a modern hostelry. The addi- |
ton extends out toward the ocean |
and is so arranged that every room =
commands view of the ocean. The
extension is built on concrete piers,
and is connected with the old part
Of the hotel by spacious verandas.
OF equal, if not greater Importance
is the extensive Improvements at the
Seashore Hotel, Mr.. Edgar L. Hinton,
manager. A steel pier has been con-
structed from the rear entrance of
the hotel to extend 700 feet out into
the ocean. The pier is 80 feet wide |.
the greater part of it's length and
out at the end is so feet wide. At
the end of the pier will be erected |
a tWo-story building to be used for
concerts, dances. and other forms of
amusement. The roof of the build {
ing will be used as observation We Y
randa, from which a fine view of the
beach can be had. The pier is really a l
continuation of the hotel veranda. The I
bier Will be greatly patronized by fish r
ng parties as we'll as for the different {
:orms OF amusement mentioned above. &
Besides the pier, the Seashrre has a
.
If 50 rooms, in wing extending to
he north of the other part along &c
he ocean front. With this addition r
he Seashore Hotel now has ESQ we'll
qulpped rooms
Lumina, North Carolina's pleasure G
'alace, has also been improved, or ~
ather the approach to the amuse-
nent resort has been greatly i'm o
roVed and beautifed by the removal S.
f all small buildings, leaving Luni- p.
a standing conspicuously out in an "
pen, clear space. -
Additions have been built to nearly
Il of the many high class boarding
We to twenty rooms each.
Down at Carolina Beach, where so
lany Wilmingtonians and out-of-
'Wn visitors like to sojourn, a num-
er of Improvements have been made
I'd visitors this season will find the ~
sort even more attractive than ever
Id trip on the steamer Whining
n is one that should not be miss d
!: Some stop at the beach and
hers will go on to Southport, from
hence they will take the delightful
ip out to sea.
Everything points to probably one of
best seasons in the history of the
sorts around Wilmington and many
" faces. as we'll as familiar ones,
II be seen here during the summer.
The Atlantic Coast Line is Offering
attractive line of excursion rates
tes from several hundred points in
E Carolinas to Wilmington anc
'lshtsVllle Beach, particulars re-
riding which can ne obtained from
cir agents, and the Tidewater Pow
Company and the Harper Line OF
amers is keeping up to high
ndard its splendid service between
lnlngton and the beach.-Morning
