SEA DERBY PLANNED
FOR ATLANTIC CITY
Swim Around Absecon Is
land for Amateurs Be-
ing Considered

Resort aquatic clubs are out to
put Atlantic Citp on the map as a
center of water sports as a means
of emphasizing the natural advan-
tages OF the city.
Plans are being formulated by
the Hygeia Swimming Club, oldest
of the shore water organizations
for a sea derby around Absecon
Island for amateurs, and definite
announcement within a few weeks
is looked for.
The island is only seven miles
long, but the swimmers would en-
counter conditions as hazardous
as those in crossing the English
Channel or from Catalina to the
mainland, because of the sweep of
the tides off Longport and in the
Inlet district 1t is estimated that
the trip would require at least
twenty hours.
Other proponents are in favor of
swim confined entirely to the
ocean and in full view from the
Boardwalk, which would provide a
natural gallery for spectators. The
trip around the bell buoy anchored
five miles off the upper beach
directly out from Heinz Pier is
suggested as the best course. The
buoy marks the entrance to the
Inlet channel and because of the
tide conditions and lay of the sand
bars would make the swimmers

pany to furnish Atlantic City with

this important subject from every

A suggestion for locating the pro

fare has been made by former May
or William Riddle, who declares
that the Arctic avenue plan of the
railroad company will never be ac-
cepted by majority of the taxpay-

Mr.. Riddle favors the Airport

the city and provides direct out
