Since Marlborough Mouse opened its d«>ors focr years ago. its substantial and artistic construction, its superior location and its ownershipmanagement have made It the most successful resort hotel in the country. Its increasing popularity has necessitated enlargement and we havethe pleasure of announcing the opening of its *ister hotel "BliENHKIM" with 2*io guest chambers and 280 PRIVATE HAT1IS <every room has Itsown private hath, with sea water and fresh water and running lee water in each). The structural parts are reinforced concrete and the wallsare hollow tile, thus insuring an absolutely dry atmosphere so important at the store. The two bouses connect with oa« h other and will berun as one under the name "MARLB*?ROlXJH-BLENHEIM." There is an American plan dining nwm and a separate Epropean plan diningroom, so that all guests have the privilege of living either way. A noteplsza fronting along the ocean and overlooking the Boardwalk. As hen1privileges.
