Far Rgckaway.


This pleasant ana primitive watering place re-
celved good many visitors from New York yester-
day. The day was more than usually favorable fol
the long sail do W. and few cases OF sea Sickness SC
common at other tlIhes, occurred on the voyage.
The little steamer MabeY, Captain Phillips had all
her available space occupied when she of her
lines al pier No. 4, North river, and steamed gaiy
away down the nar5or. At the first landing Sea-
side House, about one-haf her passengers went
ashore. The rest remained board till the terminus
oil the IMP, Far hoekaway, was reached The ude
was almost fully up TO high water mark, and
consequently that heretofore very regular oc-
the passengers ashore In awkward and expensive
ways was avoided. The trees scrub oaks princi-
pay, that flourish the sandy shelly soil OF beauii-
ful Noekaway were as fresh ana green as the IN
fading laurel, the grass luyuriously emerald and
the general faceof things had a sprightly and hoi
oay look.
That extraordinary natural phenomenon called the
.iagsback' a reef OF sand thrown up by the action
OF the sea quarter OF a mile out from what was
the Old beach OF Rockaway Is now the place Tor surf
bathing. People have to cross channel OF water IN
boats 10 reach the ''Hogsoack and enjoy sight
OF the magnificent ocean oilows that come rolling IN
lei US say alter 5000 miles OF travel for thew look
berce and they move so last II hardly seems as If
they could assume the appearance they present
without considerable preparation. This Hogs
other little draw backs that might as Wen be men,
noned. If the steamer stick in the mud, and ten
fashioned conveyance has to be employed By the pas
sngers 10 take them ashore, for which they payeth
HNerahy. Inc Trip 10 the village IN the confounded
Stage The natives construct u torture hardly
worth twenty-five cents TO bathe of Hogs
back the only place there is, necessitates g
TIP which cannot be essayed free gratis"
TIE air has wonderfully sharpening effect upon
the appetite, which nothing short OF hind quarter
OF nppophagi can appease and certainly can only be
aggravated by tue wing OF an Infused chicken
transparent slice Of cold roast either being
the extent of accommodation which most OF the
obstetrics AFFORD, at prices OF their own framing.
There was little time left to the passengers that
landed at noon or Whereabouts the beauties or
"A m wnG he
teat or time 10 see the beach, battle take dinner and
md rheir way back TO the boat. On the whole, how.
ever there are few Sunday excursions outside Of
New York more healtn-givlng and joyinspiring than
that 70 Rockaway auI back.
The case OF assault on trio OF Catholic clergymen,
OF which so much has been already published and
which created good deal OF excitement In the CON-
munity OF Rockaway, has lost all It's interest Those
people who Threatened 10 tear down The house Of
Mott, the MOTEL Keeper have changed their intention
and have become very much altered in temper
within the past week II has been discovered that
there Was gross exaggeration attending the entire
enair; that nobody was particularly hurt. and that
tie girls mentioned III the matter were entirely to
blame. Six CATHOLIC clergynen aiaed the otner day
with Mott, and lett perfectly satisfied with hs eXpla-
nation.
