V- New Arcade Stores Please
SThe Iladdon Hall-Chalfontc interests
liaro won public approval with the new
arcade syHtem they hove used In the
construction of stores along tbe Hoard
walk in front of the Ilnddon Hall at
Nofth Carolina avenue. The shops have
been set back fifteen feet from tho prop
erty line and, running back to the orig
inal hotel, give, a promennde In front
ofjsthe windows protected from rain or
bun, producing n novel effect that baa
won wide attention. The idea made n
hit with national exhibitors nnd (he
Htorcs were quickly rented as dlnplay
centers
Vernon Hall, a convention and ball
ropm, .built above the shops, has been
another inviting feature Installed b
this company, giving the central section
of the esplanade another 'attraction that
has aided in the entertainment facilities
of the beachfront. It is reported that
anither hotel will rise aboro the stores
wl(bln the next two years as a wing to
thd two controlled by tbe present com
pany. At States avenue a sndlcatc is pre
paring to launch r tho Knickerbocker
Hotel, taking In the site now occupied
by Dcnzel'a carrousel, for years a land
mark at this point. Plans for this
structure were drawn early in the spring
and the rumors along tho upper Hoard -walk
have It that the new project will
be started some time in September.
Another Boardwalk improvement In
volving millions Is snld to bo about
ready for public announcement. This
centers nround Young's old ple at Ten
nessee avenue, now held by hotelmen.
It is reported the famous old structure,
which was badly damaged by flro soma
years ago. Is to be rebuilt into the
largest exhibit pier along the Atlantic
seaboard to meet the growing demand
for display space from national adver
tisers. IMans now under dlsciis'lon call
for a circular building In front around
which .roller chairs may be ruu, wltlf
nmusoment enterprises running out to
ward the end over the sen,
A convention ball la tnliK-d of for the
second and third floors of the exhibition
hall In front, a system of doors being
Installed to permit shaping the meeting
auditoriums to any size ,uchI red. It Is
oxpected that definite plain will bo
announced within the next thrre
months,
Two other big Improvements nre to
bo made at cither end of the resort.
The old Inlet ball park, for years n
sport center, has been purchased by
Interests who figure on putting up :i
hotel and park taking In a city block
facing tbe boardwalk nnd running back
the same distance toward Now ltamii
shire avenue. The proporty was fold
by the Pennsylvania Hallroad this
month.
Down at Albany avenue, just across
the bridge at the city end of tho meadow
boulevard, the big airport, first of its
kind over constructed, la to be tho site
of the National Stadium, n gigantic
bowl of concrete that will bo equipped
with facilities for every sport. Jack
Dempsey is now using tho port as hli
trninlng quartern, but In the fall work
is to be started on the bowl.
One of the first features to bo In
stalled will be a hundrcd-foot-wldo au
tomobile track n mile nnd n tenth In
length, giving one of the fastest racing
speedways In the world. The inside of
the grounds will be turned over for big
athletic carnivals, such ns Intercolle
giate meets, football games and the sort.
The projects arc now negotiating for
the Army-Navy gridiron contest nnd
also are seeking major college gomoi
that are plajcd ou neutral grounds.
The announced plans call for on es
tablishment costing $3,000,000, two
thirds of which has already been sub
scribed. Doom in Inlet Section
About the inlet district there aro
other signs of tbe boom times that have
hit the resort. The city 1ms completed
public wharfage inside the harbor ou
which it has expended S100.000 as a
means of encouraging both pleasure and
commercial boat traffic Into the port.
Visiting craft are permitted to tic up
at the wharves for twenty -four hour
without charge and the tariff for longc
moorlng is nominal, merely enotlgh )
carry the Improvement, The city main
tains police protection around the har
bor, both on land and water,
Jtccent decision of tho Federal Gov
ernment to havo n rcsurvey mado of
the .Inlet with a view of ascertaining
tho coats for a permanent twenty-foot
channel has attracted the attention ..f
freight and passenger steamship com
panies, and two havo Obtained options

Members of the Illvcrs and Harbn'.s
Committees of both the Scnnte and
House, together with the district engi
neers of the War Department, were the
guests of tho city recently on nu In
