ATLANTIC CITY, June 9.--Unlim-
tied amusement Of the wholesome sort,
ranging from bathing in the tumbling
breakers, roller chair rides up and
down the Boardwalk with its ever
changing ensemble Of hurrying, pleas
ure-seeking multitudes by day and by
night; sailing and automooiling, 70
dancing on the big ocean piers with
their military bands, cake walks and
minstrel shows; constant inter-
change Of visits by lodges in the no.
tel circle, carnivals and receptions
galore. will be Atlantic City's watch
word during the week OF July 10Th
when more than one hundred thou
sand Elks and their friends are ex-
pected TO be here for the twenty-hfth
Grand Lodge Reunion.
Atlantic City's Business
Because pleasure is the stock In
trade Of the great resort and no other
city under the sun has developed to
such a high degree the business OF
providing amusement for the great
American public when Il banished dull
care and takes the annual holiday.
Atlantic City Lodge of Elks proposes
to provide for it's brethren more
wholesome amusement TO the square
inch than any other community could
supply with three times the cash capt.
tai
In short Atlantic City will hold
"open house" for one week for the
great order Of Elkdom and everything
pertaining TO IL. Plans working to
that end have reached the final stage
of perfect readiness. II only remains
TO hang out the flags. turn on the
music and extend the glad hand.
Reports pouring into Reunion
headquarters indicate that the parade,
always a stellar feature of Grand
Lodge meetings. Is TO be a record
breaker. Lodges which never before
uniformed their members will send
large delegations to the shore reun-
ion. Lodges OF Eastern Massachus
setts at a meeting in Boston a week
ago arranged for transportation for
three times as many representatives
as have ever attended a 3. P. o. re-
union.
Ohio. Indiana and the Middle West
will move shoreward In solid trains
without change Of cars. The South
also is to evidence the development
Of Elk spirit In that section by send
ing large delegations To provide for
the rolling stock required TO transport
the hosts of Elkdom shoreward will
be an even greater task for railroad
traffic managers than that which con-
fronted them during the national en-
campment of the Grand Army here
last September.
