j REHoBorH, Del, July 9th, 70.
The season at Rehoboth has opened
with every prospect Of its being high
ly successful one. The cottages are
being occupied at much earlier dat.
than they we're during the last season
and the hotels are filling up rapidly
while the propristors are jubilant. The
reason Of this new order lies in the ad.
vantagss derived from the regular lines
that run from Philadelphia and New
York.
The Sylvester averages about three
hundred visitors daily some Of whom
contemplating a week or ten days Wis
1t. Aside from this there is new life
inspired into the place and everything
bears evidence Of glorious prospect.
Many strangers come down for the day
and in many cases 80 pleased are they
with the natural fitness of the place
that they generally prolong their stay
and leave with a determination to re-
turn at the earliest opportunity. This
of course benefits the hotels and the
proprietors do everything that they
possibly can to satisfy the increased
demand upon their accommodations.
