friend General nj srris and his staff?
The gaieties of New Brighton, since the commence
ment of the season. have been of very peculiar and
fascinating character. Composed Of several parties
from the city hitherto unknown TO each other, they
have fused gently together, into the form of an in
terestng little word-a perfect miniature of the great
world without They have their beautles-ther
beles-thelr wits-their philosophers-their amiable
iilrts-and their enchanting heart catchers Incident
has followed ncident-gaiety has followed gaiety-
like soft feecy clouds crossing the blue heaven.
There have been one two little delicious quar- els
not exactly quarrels-but what are called mifs-
which have varied the otherwise dull mopoony of
fashionable life. Young men have been so smten
with grace and beauty in the waltz as to be on the
edge of making sudden declaration-yet it is not
done. Ladies have looked at each other till they
fancied they must have quarrel-yet there was
nothing bat charming difference of opinion and all
parties made it up again. Then again gentleman
was, on the last evening Of the ball. ready to drown
himself, because beautiful young lady refused to
dance with him out of the order of the ten cotillons
for which she had engaged herself If he had eaten
much damnabe lobster as did on that occasion,
he would have been glad getrd of existence on any
terms
There have been more incident more amusement,
more gaiety at New Brighton this season than at all
the other places put together-yet they are not in

"To moralise this spectacle"
Tonight after the ball, the gay managers ought by
all means, to take up the idea, and fix a day next
week for this truly original and romantic ete. Let it
be cheap and pretty-every one assuming some cha
racter and preserving it to the full. Staten Island
will them and more be made the centre of attrac
ton for 1897. Who knows what matches of love and
felicity may grow cut of these events? Be stirring
then, my loved fair one,
Under the greenwood tree,
Who loves to sit with thee
And tune his merry note
Unto the sweet birds throat,
Come hiher, come hither, come hiher;
Here shall you
No
But summer and fine weather.
Apropos-A correspondent asks us if il is an fat
TO wear frock coats at the ball. Wearing frock coats
is not an fait but the beautiful, benevolent girls OF
New Brighton excuse any poor fellow wearing a
frock coat when he has nothing else to put en- his
back. Benevolence!
