ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.,
December go 1911.
Atlantic City entertained 145 different
conventions during the year that closes
with this Sunday, and among them were
organizations and societies for all manner
of things and purposes from the Bankers
Monetary Commission conference in Feb
ruary last, along the Friendly Cutters
Club In April, down the line to the East
ern Ice Association in November and the
Jersey School Marms' meetin' in Decem-
Der. And the Queen City by the Sea well
comes them all. Already more than fifty
different conventions have been listed for
next years summer season, with more to
follow.
Christmas wouldn't be Xmas in At
lantic City unless some one dared a
plunge in the coolish briny on that day.
This year the youths whose names will
go ringing down the corridors of time as
midwinter bathers are Evans Emerson
and Walter Eshback. They are both At
lantic City young men, and took their
dip Monday afternoon at the ocean end
of Maryland avenue and the Boardwalk,
greatly to the shivery applause Of the
Boardwalk pronfenaders.
Christmas weather by the sea was ideal.
and the great Boardwalk was early lined
with happy-faced pedestrians bent upon
ness out of the holiday. The sun sh0ne
brightly all day long upon a scarcely
rippled ocean, and upon walk wei;
thronged with fashionables from many
cities and inland towns. The styles and
modes displayed by milady were many
and varied, and the scene presented all

Around the City.

Two letter carriers approached each
other from opposite sides of the Avenue.
AS they met at the track one Of them,
without stopping, drew finger across
his throat, razor fashion, and laughed
out to the other:
Got eleven! Can you beat ftp
Me? Sixteen, SON.
Then they laughed together and passed
on.
Do you suppose it was neckties?
Two young women were exchanging
Christmas experiences in a comfortably
| filled car. They were well dressed, hap
py-faced women. and the one who talk
ed most had dimple. Maybe that was
the reason for her loquacity, for it sure

Frank says it was the best Christmas
| ever. The Riddles are big enough now
to enjoy a tree. and IL you could have
seen how excited they were over Santa
Claus and what he would bring them!

lie go on about drum and a hobby

"And filling stockings, and then Frank

The repeated warning flashed out from
a woman opposite. With it, went a

She was such small girl that the gold

The woman, realizing that she had let
the cat out Of that bag we all know

was no use.

OF the foot ball season. and Is hopeful
of winning every game Of a most preten-

ranged with Georgetown, one of which
will be played in Washington January q
and the other here February 10. A Sc.
ries Of games also has been arranged
with the University Of North Carolina.

An outdoor field and track carnival that
Is expected to surpass any previous at
tempt In the same direction Is being
planned by the management Of the Uni
versity Of Virginia track team for some
day early in May
The meet will be open to all colleges and
preparatory and high schools Of the south
and, in view of its broad scope. is ex-
pected to decide supremacy in field sports
for this section Of the country. A sim
liar event was attempted last spring, and.
but for the fact that it was interrupted by
severe hailstorm, probably would have
resulted in one of the most interesting
attractions in years. The majority OF
events had been rum OF and several new
records registered up to the time Of the
storm.
This year the management has planned
particularly comprehensive program
which will include the usual quota OF
events. in addition to relays to decide
championship titles in various classes
The feature event on the card will be q
relay race. In which teams from the Uni
versity Of Virginia, Georgetown, Wash
ington and Lee, North Carolina and DOS
sibly Agricultural and Mechanical School
will contest for honors Virgin a has held
the title for a number of years, but, &C.
cord1ng to reports, will be hard pressed
by other teams this season.
Georgetown to Be Feared.
Georgetown. in particular, is said te
have one Of the strongest teams in hel
history, and will bend every effort toward
wiping out the past defeats at the hands
Of her most formidable southern rival.
Besides the relays there will be a num-
Der OF other events that are expected to
decide individual supremacy
The scholastic end of the program will
be similar to that arranged for the col
legians. with a championship relay as q
concluding feature. Central High of
Washington, Baltimore City College, JEFF
ferson School of Charlottesville. Staun-
ton Military Academy. Woodbury. Forest
and McGuire's School of Richmond are
expected to figure prominently in the
scholastic events Central High of
Washington doomed UP as leader last
year. but the other schools are going to
do all in their power to wrest e\hon-
ors from the Capital City aggregation
next spring.
Although an exact date has not been
set for the event, 1t is practically certain
it will be held the last Saturday in April
or the first Saturday in May. The track
on Lambeth Field should be in excellent
condition in the early spring, and with the
completion Of the new stadium accom-
modations will be provided for more than
5000 spectators.
