LOON.
On Monday the COney Island beaches are not gen.
orally so thronged with visitors as other days of
the week, and yesterday was exception to the
rule Although the weather much moro favor
able than on Sunday tina number of people who went
down to the sea side was only small proportion OF
the multitude on the first day of the week. AS
Monday is nota day oflesure for the great majority
of people, 1t was not to be expected that the exodus
to the ocean would be nearly so extensive as was
that of the previous day, but there reason to
look for n bigger crowd than actually present.
Threatening clouds during part of the day and
frequent squalls in the city probably kept most OF
TIE people from starting Tor the Island
until it was too late. The western part
the beach was very undressing, except around
the music stand at Cables, where the music OF Ar
buckle and the band proved attractive. The iron
pier is not open to visitors, but Mr.. Burnap expects
to open his part sometime this week. AT the Hotel
Brighton the Philharmonic Band is still led by Mr..
Bernstein, account of the absence OF Mr.. Neuen-
dOTff THIS hotel is now almost full and at times
cots have to be placed III the pariOrs, and all az
The second track for the Marine Railway from
the Brighton to the Manhattan Beach Hotel
is almost finished Two new cars are to
now D0 " ON the pier r." at Bay Ridge At the
Manhattan Hotel all the police employed by the
company were photographed III group Yesterday,
and made a fine appearance. Photograph OF the
captive balloon and the men working on 1t was also
taken. The balloon is almost inflated but 1t Is not
now known exactly when the first ascension Will
take place. The surf was very high yesterday at
times coming under the benches on the beach, and
then the rule to keep the feet of the
seats was not rgdy observed. The report
that three-card monte men visited the
eastern part of COney Island Sunday is
alphabetically denied by the Manhattan Beach peO-
