The Ocean City Excursion.

The excursion 10 Ocean City, yes
terday, by the p, w. & B. r. r. Co.,
was highly successful and pleasant
affair, so far as the enjoyment of the
excursionists was concerned.
When the train started the weather
in the upper part of the State was so
threatening that very few persons cared
to venture on the trip, and only about
forty went from Wilmington. Bat in
the lower section of the State and
Peninsula the weather became clearer,
and when Ocean City was reached the
sun was shining brightly in an un.
clouded sky, while the train was filled
by about four hundred eXcursionists.
At the ocean the excursionists, had
an excellent time, enjoying the fine
weather. and bathing in the surf. The
beach was filled with bathers nearly all
the day, as all the bathers could not
be provided with bathing suits at one
time, end had to take their turns.
After spending nearly nine hours at
the ocean, the train started home
about six o'clock and arrived in Will
mington about midnight, no accident
or delay occurring during the trip.

C. p, JOHNSON, ESQ.,, Dear SIR
This has been splendid day at Reho-
both, although little cloudy, but
nothing to mar our enjoyment, of rid>
ing along the sea shore, hunting shells
bathing and many other amusements.
The ocean was the grandest sight l
ever looked upon, the breakers, runs
ming 20 to 80 feet high. washed the
sand bank away in front of Mr..
Brights splendid hotel, some 40 feet
wide and two to three feet deep, max
ing the bathing even better than it
was before the storm; although splen.
did at all times. Yesterday we had
fine fishing, Mr.. Riley of your city,
ran his net right ia front of the Bright
House and in little while caught
about 400 large fine fish. am board
ing at the Bright House, everything is
kept in the very best style. There is
81 tables in the large dining room
and always filled with everything that
you would find in the largest hotals in
the city. The boarding tell you is
fine as Mrs. Grubb, understands her
business. There is between one and
two hundred boarders in the house at
this time. There arrived to day 10
more, 8 from Baltimore 6 from Will
mington and 5 from Germantown, Pa.
and we expect several on the night
train. Rehoboth Beach is the best
watering place in the country, every
person who comes here is delighted
with the bathing and the boarding.
Mrs. Grubb charges are $12 per week,
it is the finest boarding house in the
State and many say even better than
Cape May. had at one time strong
doubts about the Rehoboth Beach en-
terprise being a success, but l have nc
doubts now as there is. one person al
the head who never lets anything fail
that he takes hold of, and the prospects
for Rehoboth are hundred times bet
ter to day than ever it was BEFORE
There has been built this Spring the
Bright House which is furnished in
fine style from top to bottom, and six
large cottages, two stables and severa
additions, nearly 5000 feet of board
walk 7 feet wide has been put down
along Surf avenue, next to the sea
shore, which makes in all about 5000
feet OF board walk, affording q beauti
full promenade along the ocean shore
There is yet room in the Bright House
for those who wish to get strength by
bathing and breathing the sea air, and
high living. Come down with us and
we will do you good. 3. w,
