LONG BRANCH, June II, 1871.
Notwithstanding the cool weather and fresh
though fragrant breezes the invasion of the fashona-
BILE has commenced. Thesshore is alive with the creme
de la creme Of New YORK, Philadelphia, washington
and Baltimore, while the lights Of interior towns
shine upon US from every direction. The season has
commenced In earnest and there is every indication
thatit will be most pleasant and prosperous one
pleasant to those who long the stmulants OF wind
and wave, and profitable to everybody who has
anything to SELL let or hire. Every train brings iss
quota OF visitors, many OF them distinguished, and
more who desire the distinction season at the
Branch can bestow. Last evening the shore road
was alive with elegant equipages fast horses hi

ponies sped their best. The great tumult
was on the arrival OF the last train
and the scene was then most enllvening. Butperhaps
the most lively, and certainly the most unexpected
visitors OF the day were scons Of the first families
OF bluedsh, who, desiring dejeuner la grab, came
tumbling In early on the beach in hot pursuit Of
terrified millions Of plebeian herring and com.
munistc sprat. They first distinguished themselves
In front OF the West End Hotel, but as-ow;ng
possibly to an obquity OF vlsion-thcy could not
distinguish the difference between a long piece Of
lead with hook at Its tail and wretcned fish
running for its life, several hundred of them were
compelled to give up the ghost on the hot sand.

he gnt be, portion OF an eightinch shell which,
during the bloody conflict between the French gov
