Grand Exalted Ruler August Hermann
Of the B. p. o. E., known to thousand
OF base ball enthusiasts as Garry" Herr
mann. president Of the national base bal
commission. arrived In Atlantic Cit,
Wednesday morning and was greeted a
the station by Exalted Ruler Harry
Bacharach Of the local lodge and q re
ception committee OF 100.
Not in a year has the Boardwalk pre-
sented such scene as on July Fourth
From midmorning until the lights wen
out on the morning of the 9Th the grea1
wide deck was crowded with pleasure
seeking humanity. The pavilions and
piers were lined morning and afternoon
with curious thousands watching the an
tics Of other curious thousands In the
surf. Tie ocean was In a playful mood
and rolled some breakers in shore that
were worthy of the name. giving pa
triotic bathers the full benefit of a DIP
In a real live sea.
The lure of the sea claims devotees
from every rank and walk in life. and
the venerable. gray-haired grandma sue
cumbs TO the attractiveness of dip In
the surf just like the maiden in her teens.
TIE long-bearded patriarch of his tribe
leads his troop of toddling grandchildren
into the shallower waters of the oceans

MIGRATING waters OF the sea-
Melville Naniman, who started out on
. disastrous air expedition to Europe with
Walter Welman last fall, arrived In this
city Saturday. where he will remain I'M
I'll he has his airship completed and
everything In readiness to again start
from the hangar" at the Inlet on his
second attempt TO reach foreign shores.
The date for leaving will be October 4.
Unlike his first experience. Mr.. Vaniman
will have entire charge of this expedi-
ton. and is here TO have personal super
vision over the assembling of the air
craft A force Of nine mechanics has
been brought 10 this city. and Mr.. Eani-
man and these men started in on the
morning of July to get things In
readiness. The new air craft is being
made in parts in Akron. Ohio. These
pieces will be shipped to this city as
soon as completed, and at once assem-
bled by MIR. Naniman and his crew. The
new dirigible will be much along the
same lines as The America" of the
Wellman expedition, with the exception
OF the elimination of the equilibrator.
Members of the Atlantic City police
force actually demean themselves as If
plain citizens and visitors had right to
tread the earth. and they treat fnquiring
visitors like human beings. 1t is a case
OF being polite or losing their jobs.
Mayor Stoy insists upon courtesy and
he!pfulness from policemen.
The rolling chair parade on July 4
extended for miles up and down the
Boardwalk. with thousands of chairs in
line each filed to capacity, and between
the starboard and port sides vast pro-
cession OF pedestrian jewellers filled every
available inch of Boardwalk deck; with
bands crashing out from the brilliantly
lighted piers the gay promenaders passed
up and down the crowded thoroughfare
TO the tread of many feet and accom-
panied by the pounding roar of old ocean
beneath.
