Hampton Beach, New Hampshire has been a sum-
mer resort for over forty years. There are two
beaches both OF which afford excellent facilities for
batning. The north beach Is SAID to be the safest
sea bathing place on the coast. With the exercise
OF proper precaution there Is no danger on either

The excursion party from Indiana and elsewhere
who met with the recent accident near Kansas CITY,
arrived ut st. LOUIS Tuesday night nearly all OF them
rapidly recovering from the effects OF their bruises

vl0us nights occupation will allow. Alter break
fasting drive is taken TO the beach, q bath is in

seem undecided to the direction to take, but it Is
rumored that they to be carried quite in the
neck, and few OF the most daring have already
adopted the style. A fashion which prevailed last
year, and IL seen this, Is for gentlemen to carry
black silk umbrellas to protect them from the heat
OF the sun. This Is very seDslDle; and there is
reason why gentleman should not carry sun
shade as well as lady, or wear veil or carry a
muif, too, II he pleases.
