BIG CROWD IN SURF
ATLANTIC CITT, July 11 It wasn't
mfcH a'btua" Monday, after All, evn It It
Hi tftln for lh greater portion of the day.
Tha ovenlnir lyA cleat and thousand who
had been Indoor all day loosened their
limbs by A stroll along the Walk. This
la "clean-Viii" welt here, ordered by a
Jiroolnmntlon from the Mayor, and many of
the Visitors spent the day In taklntt nn In
ventory1 of their trunks, getting rid of ma
terial out of date, tearing up old letters
and housectcantng:,
Th6 bathlnir was superb, the pattering of
raindrops nQdlnff to the pleasure of the
lve Into the billows. A remarkably largo
crowd spent the morning hours in tha
water.
Tho mahy thousands of dally commuters
between Philadelphia and this city have
bathing hours of their own, and no class
enjoys the dally tumble Into tho surf like
theso men do. Quite a number wait until
evening before taking a plunge, making a
dash from the train to their bathing estab
lishment, Quickly donning a suit and en
tering the water a few minutes after they
arrive In the city. Alt the worries of a
busy day In a torrid city are aulcltly for
gotten after a vigorous bath, and the evo
nlng meal Is made more enjoyable by this
health-giving exercise. Qiilte a small army
f the business men take their dip before
breakfast, thus cooling off for tho day.
EMEiianNar aid woiik.
The Atlantla City branch of tho Penn
sylvania Emergency Aid Is to hold a meet
ing at a Chelsea hotel tomorrow morning
and a big crowd of society women Is ex
pected to bo present. Mrs. J. Willis Martin,
wife of Judge Martin, of Philadelphia, will
deliver an address, telling of the work 'be
ing done In caring for families of soldiers
now at tho border. Mrs. Qeorgo Q. Hor
wlU, chairman of tho Philadelphia branch,
will give a rcsumo of the work done f tho
different branches In Pennsylvania and
Mrs. Iteed Morgan, of PhUndolphla, will
also be one of the epoaloers. Flans will bo
formulated for the vork to bo carried on
during tho summer by tho cottage and
hotel residents.
A mooting of tho County Board of Free
holders will bd .held tomorrow, jmornlng to
consider the question of granting an ex
tension of a. month to the contractors who
nro building the new boulevard between
Some Point and Longport. There havo
been so many complaints from automobile
owners about tho condition of the meadow
boulevard, between Pleasantvlllo and this
city, that tho authorities havo been spurred
Into immediate action. The extension may
bo granted, providing somo plans can bo
mado forthe Immediate repair of the only
line of tranrel open to automoblllsts coming
to this city; It Is unfortunate that Just on
the evo oflsecurlng three woll-mado roads
leading Into this city none of them should
be In proper shape during the months
when the revonue derived from automobile
parties means so much to this city. A solu
tion of the problem may be reached at tho
meeting and Immediate temporary repairs
made to thtf meadow bdulsvard so as to
make It snfo for automobiles during the
nett six weeks, when thousands of ma
chlhcsr will fcorne herd every wick
Monday passed without nny legal action
being taken by the city authorities against
the otfendfng amusement men, but the word
was passed around that the e!denee ob
tained against certain places had been sub
mitted to the City .Solicitor to got his opinion
on the action to be taken. It Is rumored
that a warrant will bo Issued against one
of tho piers which was not Included In tho
list of places notified to closo. No evidence
was obtained against other piers or the
theatres which gave vaudovlllo perform
ances and If these places are not Included
In the closing crusade there will bo a
serious conMct between tho men who claim
they nre being persecuted and tho city
authorities.
Thnt there Is no serious objection to the
conducting of decent amusement places on
Sunday here Is evident from the Interest
being taken In the matter by visitors from
all parts of tho country and many of the
big property owners here. Tho popular
verdict here Is that t nny amusements are
to be closed on Sunday all should be,
Including moving picture theatres and the
Innumerable places whero popular music
Is played,
