The Aduantages Of Port Monmouth as a Watering
Pdce-IM Commencement Of the Bathing Season
-Fishing in the Horse Shoe Scssery in the L,cer
Bay.
Within the past few months the village Of Port
Monmouth has been In . great state of excitement
in consequence Of the intention Of New York capt.
talists to convert this beautiful H1ls spot into
watering place. by the erection Of large and very
handsome hotel in close proximity to the beach and
steamboat landing. The situation selected for this
structure is well chosen, 1t bsing about six miles
from the highlands, on the eastern side, while 1t is
fully a. far from Keyport, on the western shore.
The country In the immediate neighborhood Ia un-
duatDg and slopes gradually towards the SEQ shore.
The beach at high water is unsurpassed by any
watering pla,e In tho country.
The bathing season has just commenced here.
With tho thermometer at 90 in your city, nothing
could be more pleasant for those VINO can afford
time, than to start from New York at niue o'clock
In tire morning In the steamboat Eagle for
Port Monmouth. After enjoying a delicious bath
and eating hearty dinner the G,shamits can ar
rive at home with sharpsuei appetite, about six
o'clock, just in time for supper.
Among the many attractions that Port Monmouth
sordf, there Is none, perhaps, moro worthy OF men-
ton than the excellent fishing that can be had With
very little trouble. Weak fish, blue fish I'd bass
can be taken In abundance Ths ia iIities for ang-
