Hotel There are representatives here from
the north, south, east aud west: so that its
superior advantages are known all over the
land. y lady who i stopping here writes
To 4 friend of hers, - follows: - ! am
greatly surprised Ia iiud RchOboth So at
tr.ctIyr. Comparatively new, | had i'm
agIucd II almost barren of comforts, save
the hsa!thlui properties of surf bathing,
and even that is beyond my expectations,
being m my opinion quite A. good a. Cape
Nay or Long Branch \ wider circulation
at It's beneficial Influences cannot fail to
make IL popular when II becomes known
that the hotels are neat, WILL kept and
really more comfortable than at either OF
the above named places. Some of the
aniural advantages are superior to any of
the sea shore Iesurts have visited. The
atmosphere has not that diSagreablr, sticky
dampncSS so noticeable a. Cape May. The
ladies may ear their muslin with perfect
security. and above all and beyond all
blessings, there are no mosquitoes"
y most remarkable feature of this place
is lake between the ocean aud the bay
and but i short distance from each, vie Id.
ing an abundance of fresh water for drink
ing and other purposes, cool and clear a.
crystal. Quite 4 number of pretty cottages
have been built and occupied, and with i
htrla zeal on the part of property owners |
prophesy another city by the sea in the
near future.
There is no doubt, Mr.. Editor, of the
b:acuG .ait bIeczeS. its superior surf
bathing. its convenience of access, since
The road has been completed to the grove,
and It's Geographic communications with
all parts of the world. The more il be-
comes known the more il will be appre-
ciatcd RIDE.
