ATLANTIC OCEAN RESORTS
Evidence Of the Growing Importance
Of North Cardinals Popular Re-
sorts, Wrishtsville and Carolina

son Will bs Big One.

The rapidly approaching season will!
inquestionably 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 Dem
tai Society, the Bar Association,
the Bankers Association, State Coun-
lima Architects, and probably others.
Nearly, If not quite all. the associa-
tons will take q side trip down the
Cape Fear river with probably stop
at Carolina Beach, as no trip to Will
mington 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. ]. Moore,
manager, the excellent hotel hav-
ing added another wing to the
north Of the old part, in which
are go well appointed rooms and
equipped with all the convenences
Of a modern hostelry. The addi-
ton extends out toward the ocean
and Is 80 arranged that every room
commands a 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, II 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 100 feet out into
the ocean. The pier Is 80 feet wide
the greater part Of its length and
out at the end Is SO feet wide. At
the end Of the pier will be erected
q 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
randa, from which a fine view Of the
beach can be had. The pier Is really
continuation Of the hotel veranda. The
pier will be greatly patronized by fish,
ing parties as we'll as for the different
forms Of amusement mentioned above.
Besides the pier, the Seash.re has
enlarged its capacity by the addition
Of 80 rooms, in wing extending to
the north Of the other part along
the ocean front. With this addition
the Seashore Hotel now has ESQ we'll
equipped rooms.
Lumina, North Carolina's pleasure
palace, has also been improved, or
rather the approach to the amuse-
ment resort has been greatly i'm
proved and beautified by the removal
Of all small buildings. leaving Lumi-
ma standing conspicuously out In an
open, clear space.
Additions have been built to nearly
all Of the many high class boarding

Down at Carolina Beach, where 80
many Wilmingtonians and out-of-
town visitors like to sojourn, num-
Der of improvements have been made
and visitors this season will find the
resort even more attractive than ever
and a trip on the steamer Whining
ton is one that should not be miss.
ed. Some stop at the beach and
others will go on to Southport, from
whence they will take the delightful
trip out to sea.
Everything points to probably one Of
the best seasons In the history Of the
resorts around Wilmington and many
new faces, as we'll as familiar ones,
will be seen here during the summer.
The Atlantic Coast Line Is Offering
an attractive line of excursion rates
rates from several hundred points In
the Carolinas to Wilmington ana
Wrightsville Beach, particulars re-
garding which can be obtained from
their agents, and the Tidewater Pow
er Company and the Harper Line Of
Steamers Is keeping up to high
standard Its splendid service between
Wilmington and the beach.-Morning
