YESTERDAY AT FAR ROCKAWAY.
rhou..SSo,.. OF visitors-Prominent Cues,

ThousniSo.S OF visitOrs-Prominent Guests
1t tho He tels-The Cottage People.
AS early as seven O'Clock the weeks toilers we're
crossing Roosevelt 6A2d and Thirty fourth street
ferries, and the rush continued till high noon The
Long Island and southside RAILROADS were taxed
to their utmost carrying capacity, and the trains
early In the day had to be drawn by two locomo-
lives. superintendent Morford, of the Long Island
Railroad, and Superintendent Douglass, Of the
Scuthsde Railroad, superintended the arrange
ments. Opposition does well in this instance,
and the people have cause to be grateful No less
less than six thousand people visited Rockaway.
The depot OF the Long Island Railroad is now In
Lockw0od's woods, opposite the ST. James Hotel,
where the principal rush Of visitors locate them
Belves. Near the st. James are the cottages OF
Judge Brady, ex-Sherif John Kelly and Lawyer
DOnohue, OF New York. There are great many
guests at the St. James, prominent among whom
might be mentioned Mr. Blaisdell, W. T. Deane, Jo
scph Keetng, S. G. Dandam, Mrs A. Burke, Mrs.
Rogers and family, OF Arkansas; Maurice A. Herts,
MISS Young, Joseph Norton Jr., Of Georgia.
New YORK George Caldwell, Jr., Albany; Charles T.
Sackett, of Brooklyn; Charles f. Quackenbush and
lady, ofNew York; Peter Ferguson, ofOntario; W. b.
Carpenter, OF Poughkeepsie; Colonel Miller and lady
OF Brooklyn. There are 40 rooms in the house. and
every one is occupied. With one or two excep-
tiOns all the hotels are full
on the beach the scene was one of the liveliest
description. The "over and back for five cents"
1errage had to call into use several fishing boats to
accommodate the people. At three O'Clock
the surf ran high, and many went with
out their dinner to enjoy it,. Jimmy Nc
Carly was quite equal to the emergency
on this occasion, having added 800 bathing suits to
his regular supply. In the bathing houses notices
have been posted informing visitors that the pro-
pretOr will not be responsible for losses unless
articles left at the offices. Concerning the rob-
berry last Sunday, the bathing house proprietors
deny any such act, while the guests continue
to talk Of it and scrupulously guard their
.valuables. In the St. James over one hun
4dred HHRALDs were scattered about, having been
read by the guests, and aside from
the general eulogies on the Livingstone-Stanley
enterprise, the case OF Rev. MI. Robertson took
precedence in the course Of conversation. The
pleasure boats took hundreds OF people up the chan
mel to the oyster house and down the channel to
the seaside, where they crossed to Canarsie.
During the afternoon some evdisposed person
raised the alarm that two females had been
drowned but the report proved to be gr0undless.
Nothing Of q serious nature occurred to life or limb
either the beach, in the water or on the trains

they have it III their power to count
us out, we are counted out? All that
astonishes me is that they should do
their work in such clumsy way.
But it's all right. We would have
been ruined, but for this check.
We have the rascals at least twenty

had this gone out unquestioned every

But the Administration comes in TO
