Coney Island excursions, but Of these the
less said the better. There are often par.
ties Of very respectable mechanics and
their families among them, but the ma
jority are OF the worst class OF men and
women. 1t Is no uncommon sight to see
women, both young and old, at this place
In the most advanced stages Of intoxicA-
ton. Only few days ago We heard Of q
party Of well dressed and decent looking
women who went down there and got
intoxicated and danced o eGH-eaR in q
bar room, TO the ediflcation Of a group Of
rowdies. One OF the party, Ill|slI
A YOUNG AND REALLY PRETTY GIRL,
who seemed to be more intoxicated than
the others, tore of her bonnet and let her
long hair fall in wild waves over her
shoulders as she danced madly about.
The boat these women came down In left
the Island while they were In the height
Of their festvity, and the landlord Of the
place, after putting them In an omnibus
and driving them on the beech until they
got sober, packed them of to New York
BY an overland route. ,.,.r...-. a., ~

Mr.. Moran Is perhspsmore widely known
as . designer than "a painter. He draws
probably the bestlandscapes that are now
engraved on wood,in this country, either
for periodicals or books. But his fame as

certain qualities his friends claim that he
stands unrivalled among artists. --

The Fourth,of July is the mostl disa.
greeable day Of the whole three hundred
and sixty.fve in New York. No one
stays here who can possibly get away
We have been told by hotel-keepers that
seldom, II ever, does any one come to the
city TO spend "the Fourth" and that, on
the other hand, nearly all their boarders
