LONG BRANCH, July 16.-The horses ana
ou,paees of Long Branch are the admiration OF tho pub
lie and the pride OF tho resident community Probably
no waterlngpace in the country, save perhaps New
mort can boast so many fine horses and costly vehicles
The oxtravneant and foolish ostentatOn OF Fisk and
Hembold has passed away and left no trace There Is
more elegance and less show. Fashion has settled down
TO the love OF better horses and better carriages ana all
efforts vulgar display except in two or three cases.
have ceased The drives around Long Branch are very
hne and The roads not surpassed By those OF any
section Of the country. Il is true that the scenery
which the drives around Lake George and Fort VII
liam Henry disclose is moEe attractive; that tho latter
is place around which so much OF our history and
romance clusters and that the drives from the hotel take
in all that Cooper has made romantic in his most famous
novel; But the roads arc better here than there, for
here are no hills and the roadways smooth and
level aud hard as race track The proximity Of this
place to New-York andthe ease with which horses and
carriages may be moved here, together with 'he adVa-
tageous drives along the beach and INTO the country
have been the means OF furnishing many and such
fine urn-ous as may be seen daily Oceanave one OF

say that some OF the accounts from Long Branch,
pOrtraying the extent and value oil the IFesuohO'
