CoSEY ISLAND, Sept. 9.
Yesterday, by invitation of Mr.. E. R.
Mills, General Ticket Agent of the New
York y Sea Beach Railroad, We took =
trip over that route to Coney Island.
for the purpose of aping the excss.'
sive heat of the city and ENJOYING the
cool exhilirating breeze from off old
ocean.
Ut all our trips to the sea beach this
summer Wa can truly say that We have
enjoyed none SO much as that of vester-
day. Leaving pier No. ID early in the
afternoon on the steamer "Sylvau
Str1am' we made a rapid run to Bav
hldge where We boarded the train on
he new road and ere borne along at
beach. W '
We proceeded to the ''Sea Beach
Poio Restaurant" which ia the largest
'ud most complete in all its appoint
'nents on the Island, under the ab,e
management Of Col. Z. R, Abbott "a
1eil known to the old patrons of the
Erie Railway.
While in the beach depot of the nav
road. which, by the way, is by far the
finest building on the Island. We an.
counter2d our friend Mr.. c. w, Pou,sou
accompanied by Mr.. E. H Peck and Gen.
D. Collins, Esq, VIM. Floyd and +.
smith o: New York. They wer4 busiiy
engaged In devouring the inevitable
roast clans. Charlie stated that i. w.s
his intention to get away with about
seventy-fve or a hundred bivalves a. =
sort OF an appetizer, and then get some
thing to eat.
He appeared in fine spirits, and said
that the Sea Beach road would. with
out doubt, be the route from New York
to the sea-shore. We fully concur in
his opinion as expressed, Tor the route
is well conducted under the able man
agement Of President A. E. Kicker, whe
was formerly general Superintendent
Of the Central r. R. IN. j., and also
General Manager Of the New York Els.
waited r. R.
The Sea Beach road is the only one
which connects with boats from the
North and East river sides of the citv.
aud the boats Of the Company are re-
nowned as the fastest and safest in New
York harbor. The conductors of the
trains appear very affabls and polite:
ana, taking the route all in all, it is
decidedly the most pleasant way that
We know of to get from the swelterinp
city of New York to the Sea Shore.
While on the beach We visited tho
new iron pier. 1t is a magnificent in
stitutisn and its owners are we'll deserv-
ing of the patronage which it receives.
The enterprise which they have shown
in constructing such substantial and
commodious, as we'll as elegant build
ing, where to an ordinary observer, it
would seem almost impossible for =
building to stand, is remarkable and
worthy not only of commendation but
also cf compensation.
As We sat upon the second story of
the pier in company with Major Bridge
ford, one of the officers Of the pier asso-
citation, listening to the dulcet strains
'f music as they Aoat-d out over tie
swelling bosom of the grand, males ic
,cean, and drinking in the cool, re-
resting sea brerze, which famed our
'herks, ~ d'dn't exactly think that
