We are supposed to be at the tiptop Of the season
here, just about now, and the habitues are having
what the boys call thigh old time generally"
Within the week the number Of arrivals at the
hotels has somewhat increased and the lovely wea-
ther seduces those who are here to delay their de-
parture. Still, none Of the hotels wax fat;
and the season, as far as they are concerned,
must be set down as tremendous tosc0.
The fashionables, so called, went this year
chiefly to the Fillmore House-one of the ladies who
claims precedence above all the Goldfish princesses
having husband, and that husband having pecu-
mary interest in the hotel aforesaid. So you see
that the "demnition cash. is, after all, the primary
consideration with all of Us. There has been, how
ever, am told, grand rebellion, Instruction, or
uprising Of some Of the tyrannized crinoline, and
IN consequence thereof the grand winding up ball
Of the season is to come of at the Ocean House on
the last day of this month.
But let us not anticipate. The affairs of to-day,
or rather yesterday, must be attended 70. The
week commenced gaily with a concert and hop at
ihe Bellevue he hop harvest is very good this Year,
and on yesterday Nine Gazzaniga gave rs delight
ful matinee. Madame was requested, some time
SINCE TO give a concert; but as things did not
look promising, and as she did not desire
70 sing TO an audience of chairs che declined there
upon the Count de Sartiges who keeps matters live

the priYaa donna consented. In short time nearly
two hundred tickets at two dollars each, were TAKEN
and Ocean Hall presented yesterday fine gathering
of the creme de Ia creme without stump tail to mar
the pasture Of japonicas. The programme Of the
day is good. Polld!

have not the highest opinion Of Ocean Hall az
saloon for music, and consider, therefore that any
tYtlcai remarks upon tne drtlsts perIOluduces
would be absurd. The audience was made up en-
frely Of hdbtu6s of the Opera, and, Of course,
the most difficult and dantiiy particular that could
be found. 1t Is enough to say that they were
pleased with all and especially delighted with Brig
noli's "Hpirito Gentil, j" and Nine. Gazzanigas bal
lad LA Naraniera" both OF which were demanded
for a second time. In answer, Madame sang " La

Brignoh sung the delicious serenade from Don Pas
auale with much sweetness and delicacy. The con-
cert was altogether delightful; and yoa will agree
with me that the day was well commenced. In
the evening there was az the Fillmore House,

ON Wednesday Of every week the Colonel throws II
open to the public OF all classes horse foot and
Sragoon. The esplanade within the fort makes a
capital drive, and the scene is something TO be re-
membered The ramparts are crowded with spec
tators bewildered between the fne view Of the sea
and the gay equpages, with their still gayer eccn-
pants who career around the promenade, exchang-
ing salutes congratulations, and a running fire OF
bon nots. The officers and men, in fun uniform and
splendidly mounted give the finishing touch 10 the
ensemble and always on the alert to prevent ac-
eidents Then there is a band Of music, and oh,
