which was last night destroyed by fire.
We expect to have it completed by the

rented the Planters warehouse on west

Our profoundest thanks are rendered
the people Of town for their heroic eff
forts TO exlinguish the fire last night,
not emitting the colored people, many
Of whom worked manfully, and are de-
serving of special mention.

THE DAY AT ROCKAWAY.

ZINE SURF But FEW ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
BATHERs-now VISITORS AMUsE THEMSELVES.
Rocka way was one of the most delightfully."- cool
places Notwithstanding the prevailing hot weather
in New-York, yesterday, that could be found within
limit of forty miles of the metropolis. The wind
was southery, aud came across the ocean laden with
pure perfume of the salt air. Hundreds ILL
duged in the luxury OF suri-bathlng. There
is one great drawback TO the full enjoyment OF the
sea at Rockaway and it is the miserable accommc-
dations provided for bathers. The beach yesterday
was most enticing and other things beng equal, the
seeker who resisted the alurements of the
water might well be claSsed among the strong
minded AS 1t was. however, hundreds entered the
surf where thousands would have done so had their
comfort been properly looked after There
are persons who yet have regard Tor appear
auces: and at best man or woman
I'm bathing costume looks well only in the plates of
a fashion paper. At Rockaway the batlilng-dresses
are simply Tepuisive. They are as general tang
made Of the most common KIND OF cheap cotton Ill
stead of flannel and the result Is that they not only
cling 10 the form when once wet IN Il most DIS
agreeable way. bat frequently they are rent INTO
threads by The necessarily voIcnt actions OF tue
bathers. liz is true they are cheap, and
that they are nasty is beyond dispute Yes
terday there were several cases OF very
mucl-abasaed women, vino sought the shelter OF
the bathinghOuses at pace worthy oil professional
women pe lcstrlans
Snrf-batiug Yesterday was the resort of the few.
The thousands who went down by Whites line of
steamers.and by the New-York. Woodhaven and
Rockaway Railway, which was opened on thursday
last, spent their time III various WAYS Everyone;
