REHonorH BEACH, July 10.
Tie season, which opened here about six
weeks ago with iattering prospects, hassfar ex-
ceeded even the most extravagant hopes of the
friends of Rehoboth The many improvements
which have been made, and the many new at
fractions which were offered at the opening of
tile season drew no little attention to the place
and the result has been an

flat the Surf House, with its enlargement and
many improvements heretofore noted) fails to
accommodate.
AZ present the guests are principally Balti-
morians with comparatively few Wilmingtonans,
Int Il number Of families from Wilmington have
engaged rooms, and are expected here this
week. Henry q. Robinson arrived on Satur-
day evening, with some others, and are now
quietly enjoying the delightful sea breeze
and the hospitality of the 'Surf." The Balti-
more people seem to have
TAKEN A VERY WARM INTEREST
in Rehoboth and of the one hundred and sixteen
,,nosts who are at the Surf, at least one hundred
are from that city. Many Of them are promi-
ucnt and wealthy citizens, and are loud in their
praise Of the advantages OF Rehoboth as wat
cring place.
From the register we gather the following
names W. j. and ]. e. Hooper, II. S. Scott,
and family, b. +. Parlett, and family, J. b. Mo
bray, W. S. Gosln and family, G.. A. Mills, w.
D. Levy and G.. f. Richardson-all of Baltimore.
There are also here several prominent Philadel-
plians. one family from Chicago and three from
Washington Applications have also been re-
ceived for rooms from other prominent cities,
which have had to be declined, and it is proba-
bic that had the Surf House four times its pres
ent capacity it could be filled in very few days
OF the
Two NEW BOARDING HOUSES
which have been erected upon the camp-ground,
that of Mr.. Wiley, of ODESSA only is open as yet,
and only few are accommodated there, owing
to the distance from the surf and the fact that
the hacks do not at present run with any regu-
larity to and from the ocean.
THE NEW HOTEL PROJECT,
OF which you have already spoken, shows in
creasing signs of vitality and it is stated that
ten of the requisite twenty shareholders have
been found. The building will probably be To-
Gated directly north of the Surf House, and i'm
mediatoly in front of the small lake which is al
Tie northwest of the present hotel between
the Slft House and Jefferson Avenue. 1t will
he frame edifco, built in the
MOST APPROVED MODERN sTyLE
And with all the latest improvements. The po-
sition which has been suggested, and
which will probably be chosen, is
very superior one, and has many adyanta
ses over any other along the beach. The lake

building it is proposed to enlarge and by some
needed improvements to make it pleasure t.
beconnected with the hotel.
