Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ATLANTIC CITY. June Is. 1910.
The unsettled weather of the early part
of the week did not seem to affect the
spirits OF the large number of visitors
who came To the shore for the conven-
ton OF the car builders. master mechanics
and railway supply men. whose immense
exhibition on the Millon-Doilar Pier "a
said to be the greatest ever held. \
plentiful supply OF new plays at the
theaters. chic and striking girls from
the "Folles of 1910 on the Boardwalk.
made things lively in spite OF the show
ers.
The prospect of the aviation meet here
in July seems to be pretty we'll assured,
and not only does Atlantic City expect
to give the visitors here chance to see
Glenn Curtiss. but Charles X. Hamilton
and other aviators. An immense crowd
Is expected here for the Fourth OF July
in consequence.
Atlantic City, although il is making ten
tative advances toward a safe and sane
Fourth. is yet in danger OF all sorts OF
surprises; first is the fact that that day
may be selected for an aviation flight
here. when the bird men will fly out over
the ocean and up and down the beach.
and no one expects to stay quite sane
under such excitement, and another
ominous sign is the fact that when a re-
porter on a local paper went to the
mayors office the other day To find out
why the wreck OF the stranded yacht
Mist still incumbered the beach he was
met by heartless subordinate. who
solemnly stated that that Mist wreck Is a
mystery" and further limited that II
the patience Of the authorities gave out
the safe and sane Fourth might be des-
ecrated by blowing il up.
The many new buildings going up IN
Atlantic City and along the Boardwalk
are d convincing sign of the prosperity
of the place. but all of the buildings are
not welcomed by the people. For instance,
the large addition to Steeplechase Pier.
which at present, with its rows of large
pillars and columns, looks like half-com-
pleted Parthenon. is seriously objected TO
shutting out the breeze from the
beach-front hotels near. obstructing the
view and covering up the beach too
much. A suit in chancery has been in
stituted against il. claiming il is erected
i'm violation OF the deed for the land OH
which ii stands. To the impartial OBJ
server il seems too bad that there should
be any attempt TO put more buiidlngs on
what should be vast eXpanse or Tree
and beautiful beach.
