ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., January 6, 1912
The Boardwalk has been thronged all
week. the great beach-fron hotel pal
aces have been filled to OVERCOMING
and Atlantic City has had the best
post-New Year season in it's history.
Tuesday. the first workday in the
new year. broke clear. with warm
sun blazing a wide path of silver
across the leagues of tumbling waters
The Walk was early thronged with
promenaders. and the sands were lib
orally dotted with inquisitive visitors
DESTROYS of having closer winter ac
quaintance with the sea. Many CLANS
had been thrown up by the waves dur
ing the night. and along the waters
edge were men. women and children
gathering or digging them from the
sands. Many faces appeared from time
to time at the great hotel windows
facing the esplanade. gazing upon the
rising SUM- the tumbling sea and at the
earlier risers already upon the Walk
or beach Tuesdays was ideal Atlantic
City weather.
The sight of young lady digging
CLAIMS upon the beach sands becomes
inspiriting and almost exciting when
one of them calls out. as did a petite
western Pennsylvania maid Tuesday
morning to her companions, "Oh. girls!
Hurry. I've found a live clam in the
sand. Come quick, before he gets
away"
ON the morning of the second day of
the year the great Boardwalk pre-
sented a vari-colored surface and was
strewn from end to end and from rail
to shop line with millions of bits of
many-hued confetti. :,
