ATLANTIC HOTEL, August 10th.
Special correspondence OF Gazettee.
arrived here at 8 p. m, after a
very dusty ide as far as Harrington.
From that place the road is not so un-
pleasant. After some four days rain
last week, the country below Harring-
ton looks quite fertile, and the crops
and vegetation appear to have taken
new life.
Ocean City has been greatly improv-
ed in one year. Tho hotels are en-
larged, there are three very commodi-
GUS houses here, of which the Atlantic
still ranks nrst. Mr.. Tracy its propri-
etor is one of the N ost attentive hosts
and his guests all speak in.pIaise Of his
kind attentions.
The register contains the names Of a
ntmber OF WilminRtonians, among
them are Bishop Becker, Mark Lane, j.
I. Bradford. J. p. Donahoe and lady,
Mrs. VIM W. Reynolds, Mrs. Cannon,
Miss Kate T. Feeney, q. #. SherbuIne

i've and accomplished clerks, be is as
sisted by Mr.. Samuel Wild, of Smyrna.
The house has now about $50 guests,
and has had as high as 400 or $50 this
season.
There are about 200 guests at Con-
gress Hall. among them we find Mr..
j. W. Cooch and lady and daughter
Mr.. Malone, of the Salisbury Record,
and j. Scott Way, of the Middletown
Transcript. The Seaside House has
about 100 guests.
There is masked ball at the At
lantic tonighI. About 90 couples,
representing all nations appeared in
the new dancing pavilion. These
were led by Prof. Webster, of your
city.
The noted characters were representa-
tive of the heathen chinese and type of
Darwinism in the shape OF gorilla,
minus the hair. The Mosques were OF
the most grotesque character, Sambo and
DiDah pledominating. Tie dancing
was of kind that did not seen to give
much pleasure to the lockers Oh nor to
participants either. However, the mask
ers only occupied the door brief period,
when they were succeeded by ladies and
gentlemen was seemed 10 enjoy them.
selves much more than these who were
masked.
The bs Il was kept up until near mid
light when all became quiet, aud very
refreshing sleep was permitted to those
who tancled rest more than tripping the
light fantastic toe.
The Peninsular Press Association will
meet in the Columbia House tomorrow,
and it is supposed to add more life to the
place.
The weather is cool and delightful af-
ter fine rain with plenty of thunder
and lightning from g to 8 o'clock.

Yesterday morning William Revier,

Everything possible was done for him

Strengthened himself up and slapped bis

nineteen and half pounds since Satur-

INDEPENDENT NOMINATIONS

A few factious Democrats of the
Tenth Ward met, last night, and
nominated the following Ward ticket,
to be voted for at the city ele ction, re-
gardless Of the nominations that NAV
be made by the regular Democracy
For City Council-Robert Shaw.
For lnspector-Michael Welsh.
For Assistant-Geo. Campbell.
The only effect of this movement
will be to stir up such an interest in
the Ward that the regular Democracy
will come out in full force, and bury
the independents and Republicans com
bined, under the usual Tenth Ward
majority.

And what saw on that VOLTS stone, led
By potent fancies and self-possestF
Only my brother long since dead
Asleep on his mothers bres'i
Bet Hdrte in the Independent.
