On October 14. 1K84. Boyle & Brothers sold the plant E. 1).

In the early summer of igXq a new building was erected by Mr. Robinson at 744-46 Asbuty avenue, and the entire printing plant moved to that localgon. the structure occupied being 18x22 %t and two and one-half stories in height. Soon after the increase of business made an enlargement of the plant necessary and an addition was made. 22x32 feet. The Daily Reporter. When the management decided upon issuing a daily paper, the propriety of such a movement was questioned by a majority of the business people. But our faith in the future of Ocean City was not to lie shaken by pessimistic views. We bad no misgivings, and the success which has attended the venture has liven very gratifying. The paper's policy was purely local, and every effort was put forth to cover the field. Commencing with the summer of 1893 the Dailv Rrportkk was added to the office publications and daily editions of that sheet have ever since been published during the summer months of each year. ceptiou the Daily ReroKTEK achieved success and has grown to lie one of the principal features of succeeding seasons. Since Ocean City was first supplied with a dally newspaper, the growth of the city, along the lines of morality and good government, has been something Umlcring on the marvelous. In purely religious affairs alone, we have gathered congregations of the Episcopalian. Presbyterian, Baptist and Catholic denominations, besides Friends and a colored mission holding regular services. The Services in these places of worship have lieen faithfully chronicled. In worldly affaits. the city has more thin quadrupled its population, and the increase has been ol the most desirable class, as shown by the houses erected, which, in lieauty of architecture and the comforts of home, are equal to those of any seaside resort, in the world. Enlarged Quarters Necessary. With the addition of the daily issue and the increase of job printing .even the enlarged quartets of the Sentinel I *ri tiling 11 ouse became too small and in January. 1900. plans were drawn for, and work begun on. a new brick structure located upon the same site.

For the generous and kindly support the Sentinel has received at the hands of iLs sttbscrilieis and a.lvertiscrs. we return sincere thanks. 1‘rofiting by the exjiericnce gained during the years that have elapsed we feel confident in asserting that the future will show our patjons a paper improved in every department and worthy the respect and continued advancement of our populous city by the sea line of the veterans of journalism. Whilelaw Reid, says on Uie subject of public cxjitvlation- in the publication of a newspaper: •' One common theory alioul a newspaper is that it shall lx- by all' things in every issue and in even* item, strictly accurate . I vote for that' myself. What is more. 1 will undertake to furnish it. 1 will only ask. as the single perquisite, that vim furnish me fur tin-office stuff men who never make a mistake, who always see the same thing in exactly'the stme light with everyone else, and who will be able to tell it as quickly as tb» quickest" While we da’ not cp.itempUte the possibility of publishing an ideally .accurate newspaper it is. nevertheless, the intention to lxalisolutcly sincere and. as far as possible under all the circumstances.

Yacht n 4 has a natural home in the waters about Ocwa'n City and the area to be traversed with comfort and jierfect safety is not equalled from Sandy Hook to Calx- May Point. High tide or low tide, here the ardent yaehtman may always find a broad expanse of his iavorite eletnenl and ample room between his keel and the sand to keep him safe from harm. In August w-eak-fishing begins outside Uie inlet and disciples of Walton who have lx-couie immune to seasickness may gather gamey denizen of blucwater to his heart's content. Blue fish had a few miles off shore and trolling is one of the most fascinating methods of hooking this lighting hawk of old ocean. Taking it all in all, Ocean City, as a resort for peoph out of doors during their slimmer outing, is not to lie excelled anywhere on the Middle Atlantic coast, and if it lacked much in social desirability, it would-still lx in the front rank. But the social side is just as prominent as the one already described. There is seven miles of smooth, hard oceart bcaclt, making a driveway and cycle path quite equal to many of those erected by human agency, and its lathing is unsurpassed. On the strand may be twenty-four feet in width ami nearly three miles in length is thronged with men women and children Two casino picre furnish clean. clever a’uuscuicn's for liuth young and old and the sound of the carrousel organ is in ev idence early and late. . Commodious hotels and comfortable boarding houses are in greater abundance than ever before, and although the summer of -1900 found the city inadequately prepared to entertain the thousands who thronged hither, the season of 1901 will find a largely increased hotel capacity and very many new cottages have Ixcn erected dnring the past nine months. *• The electric railroad lias passed into new hands and will lx- run during the coming summer in the interest of the trolley riding public, on short headway and dnring seven days of the week.

The latter bids fair to be of exceptional interest owing to the new craft already constructed or under way for various members. Captain C. Howard Schermerhorn has a new boat, designed and built by S. S. Headley, of Tuckcrton, with which he expects to land the championship. Captain J. Diver has purchased a crack a-jack. built by Kirk, of Tom's River, and said to lx a flyer. Vice Commodore R. R.
