AN OLD RESORT OF NEW WORKERS.
Glen Cove is an old and picturesque resort OF New
Yorkers. but Sea Cliff has greatly cut the ground
from under it Of late years. Two ago the prn
cipal hotel at Glen Cove was burned down, and none
OF an equal character has been since substituted.
There are three old hotels in the village, but
they of very primitive character and devoted
only to transient custom If Glen Cove Is to recover
its ancient popularity it will have erect hotel in
harmony with modern requirements. Mr.. Charles
A. Dana and Mr. s. l.. NJ. Barlow occupy the two
exquisite views of water, wood and meadow lands.
Between Glen Cove and Roslyn there is rich
diversity Of scenery that will well repay few days
visit.
WHERE THERE ARE OLD FASHIONED ATTRACTIONS.
Oyster Bay four miles from Syosset station, on the
Port Jefferson branch of the Long Island road. is
place OF various attractions, though comparatively
unknown. Several rich and appreciative New
Workers have taken up their residences there promi
nent among them being Mr.. James NJ. Beekman.
Judge DAILY A. d. Pearsall and Others each of whom
has summer dwelling fit for prince. The roads are
particularly fine, and there is circular arve taking
in the beach and country back Of it to the
extent of about seven miles that for beauty
and diversity of view has few or
equals on Long Island. There is excellent
sailing. fishing and shooting, good society and
great Of rest from the absence Of railroads,
the nearest Of which is full four miles away. The
chief and only hotel Is the Nassau House. kept by
Mr.. b. A. Black, who expects after the Fourth Of
July to have his house full and lively.
A WATERING PLACE NEAR AT HAND.
Whitestone. only twelve miles from the city. has
host of boarding houses ready for visitors from the
city. The chief hotel is called the Whitestone
House. and can accommodate $50 persons at very
reasonable rates. The convenient location of this
watering place to the city is its great attraction and
it is favorite resort OF New Yorkers who merely
desire to go out OF the city during the heat Of the
