ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. July To- 1911.
Aviation history has been made in At
lantic City during the week but passed.
Young Harry Atwood stepped down into
the resort on his pleasure jaunt by
plane from Boston to Baltimore and
Washington. During the few days he re-
manned in the City by the Sea he caused
his machine to perform many wonderful
caracoes above the heads Of the thou
sands of bathers who lined the surf and
watched him breathlessly.
And now that Atwood has left, his
place has been taken by two foreign
knights of the air. Lieut.. Andrew RueI
OF the French army and Graham Carter
OF England. Both these flyers arrived at
the Hotel Shelburne early in the week
and will introduce the Bleriot mono
plane to American seashore visitors
from Young's Milion-Dollar Pier.
The Elk and his mate have swarmed
upon the vast Boardwalk every morning
during the week. but the herds did not
mass their fun strength until the after
Moons and evenings Elks were here OF
all degrees and shapes and sizes. Some
short and stu6hy ones only few hands
high while others lowered UP into the
air like portable lighthouses Here too.
was the obese, rotund. sleek. well fed
Elk. and also the angular. the gaunt
and the thin specimens bespeaking
soCgy biscuit diet.
But the long hoped-for Elks' week
happiness beamed upon every face. and
the visitors were glad and as contented
as only real Elk knows how to be.
Last Sunday was a great day of Chris
tian endeavor by the Christian Endeav-
orers. Twenty-Five open-air religious
services. were held at different points
scattered about Absecon Island. An in
teresting service was that for fishermen
at the Inlet conducted by Chaplain X.
r., Steele Other meetings We're held in
the city and county jails. many were
attended by numbers of visiting Elks.
But by far the most interesting and i'm
pressive OF the outdoor services was
the great sunset praise meeting held on
the sands of the beach Just below
Young's Old Ocean Pier. Thousands OF
voices Joined in singing the grand ia
rnilar hymns. and the mighty chorus
was raised on the wings of the evening
breeze and blown far across the tun-
bling waters to the ears of many pleas
ure seekers in their boats of shore.
