Special Disporch to The Tribune


ATLANTIC CITY, July 10.-Sunburn
became epidemic this week and moon
light bathing won much popularity in
consequence. Thousands who arrived for
summer vacations underestimated the
power Of the combination of salt water
and sunshine, and Boardwalk apothe-
carries prospered in the sale Of creams
and lotions. Some of the college lads
who took places as lifeguards on the
beach force were among the early sea-
son victims and several were obliged
to take involuntary vacations until
they had finished "peeling."
The Fourth Of July holiday broke all
records for the number of those who
thronged to the shore for holiday out
ings. Railway officials attempted to
keep down the travel congestion by
running long trains in Shuttle" style
between the resort and New York and
Philadelphia, but succeeded only partly.
Hotels, filled to capacity, definitely
halted the making of reservations for
the remainder Of the season, and har-
arrivals in smaller hotels or in board
ing houses.
A real air line between New York
and Atlantic City was started during
the holiday rush. Air ships, familiar
to New York folk, have gone on regular
hourly schedule and are creating a
large air travel trade, which promises
great things in the line of quick COM
munication. A score or more newly
arriving professional airmen have been
carrying passengers from daylight until
taxi routes to other resorts on the
coast.
Real summer social activity had it's
formal inception this week. The At
lantic City Yacht Club announced it's
program of dance and card events
along with it's schedule of tennis
games and regatta dates. The Chelsea
Yacht Club, which has many New
Workers on it's rolls, held it's annual
Commodore's reception tonight. The
Ambassador will continue it's musical
entertainments and similar events are
to take place at the Traymore, the
Marlborough Blenheim, the Alamac and
other houses.
