PALATIAL BATHING PAVILION.
The large and elegantly-appointed bathing pavilion on the Boardwalk near Ocean avenue, which was formerly conducted by Kipple & McCann, has this season been purchased by I. Whilden Moore. The pavilion is adjacent to the new art store, in conjunction with which Mr. Moore will look alter his new enterprise. The pavilion contains one thousand bath-houses for surf bathers, and eighty additional ones for those who desire to take the hot water surf baths. They are all sumptuously appointed with every comfort, and are larger and better ventilated than any others on the beach; in fact, it is safe to say they excel any on the Atlantic coast from Florida to Maine. The prices are moderate, being 25 cents for the ordinary surf bath, and fifty cents with the extra fine new bathing suits. The rates for the hot water surf baths are forty cents each, or three for one dollar. Mr. Moore, who is proprietor of the building in which the pavilion is situated, as well as the one next door, will at the beginning of next season build three extra stories directly. above the present building, which is to be utilized as a first-class hotel, and which will be the only one of its kind on the Boardwalk. Men with such enterprising spirits as Mr. I. Whilden Moore are sure to succeed, and Atlantic City has in him a citizen who will not alone do much to build up the prosperity of this popular resort, but whose name will in time be synonymous with "Atlantic City's prosperity."
