ATLANTIC CITY, June 17.-Ordinar ~
seashore society affairs were forced
this week to divide attention and in
terest with functions given by and in
honor Of delegates to a number of i'm
portant conventions which are In SEES
sion. Banquets, dances and other en-
tertainment had over ten thousand del
egates and their ladies' on whom to
draw for guests. and both yacht and
country clubs were impressed into
service for outings arranged by con-
vention committees.
Atlantic Citys novel wage war be-
tween the pushers of Boardwalk roll
ing chairs and the magnates who make
abruptly early this week. The men
were given the raise in pay dema nded
but the riding public will pay the bill
through increase in the price of the
vehicles, which are once more at the
Bo-cents-an- hour rate.
Interest Is increasing in the coming
June carnival. which opens June % with
q baby parade on the Boardwalk. Over
winners of the several contests for in
fantile excellence. Yachtsmen are max
ing ready for the big water pageant of
pleasure craft, and there is still hope
that Washington naval officials may
grant presence of some smaller fighting
craft to head the procession.
