at what particular hours their shsrkshpe enjoy their
siests. However the absence of any authentic In
formation on this subject renders the sport more de-
ligbtful by increasing it, pleasant uncertainties.
Taken in the aggregate, or considered in detail, the
institutions of this outside of the United States are
immense, and it's future history will doubtless prove
remarkable among nations. When the historian
comes to speak Of its staple commodities there s one
article which will constitute prominent topic. refer

The natural characteristics OF this free and
happy country need only to be known to be
appreciated. II has its charms of society, too,
for those accustomed TO walk in exclusive CIR
ces; and while you occasionally meet with
some plain questionable folks ct the Oceanic
and that locality one may be quite certain OF finding
CAV society on the other end of the island where the
saloon of the Hotel de la Peche is constantly made
brilliant by the presence Of gentlemen who speak by
the "card." and ladies who in moral respect con-
slider themselves above the little conventonalisms of
social Iife Taken in connection with these facts the
absence Of the Maine Law gives certain elevation to
the manners of the ladies and gentlemen, and thus
the return trip homeward n made additionally pleas
ant to sensitive young ladies and elderly gentlemen of
a nervous temperament.
To speak seriously of this place Summer resort,
there is nothing which speedily observed by the
visitor as the rowdy appearance of the boys
and most Of the men, and the brazen prohigacy
of the women who frequent it. There are,
of course many respectable persons who are in
pocenty led TO visit the beach for its saubrious effects
Of air and bathing but people of this class rarely
come the second time, and constitute an extremely
small minority in comparison with the number of the
vicious of bolh sexes who make il rendezvous. If
it wee possible for the company to be moderately Sc
lect and the of riot and dssp patton prevented
by the prohibition of intoxicating liquors, we do not
know OF any place forming more acceptable retreat
for the working population Of crowded City than
Corey Island. It's immediate neighborhood to New
York and the many and cheap convenience for reach
ing it, are inducements that, under different auspices
would not be neglected. AS it is, however the place
is falling into still greater dsrepute, an is given
over almost exclusively the occupation of the vicious
and degraded The scene of the buried treasures Of
Captain Kidd, about which so many legends have
been written is now visited chiefly by the emulstors
in morality of that distr guished member OF the pratt
cal profession and it possible that in the closing
in the character Of their lives, the similarity may be
perpetuated.
