Special Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN.
The new yea side resort, known by
the above name, Is one OF the many
watering places that is rapidly devel-
oping upon the New Jersey coast.
Many of our readers may nOtbe,ng famil-
lar with the locality Of the place, a few
statements may be of interest to those
who desire cottage by the Sta. Sea
Isle City is located Oh Ludlum Island,
on tho lSew Jersey coast, sixty miles
southeast of Philadelphia, and reached
by the West Jersey X. X. The island
is six and one quarter miles in length,
extending from CorsOn's Inlet on the
north, to TOwnsends Inlet on the south,
bounded on the west by Ludlum Bay,
and navigable thoroughfare, this
furnishing excellent fishing, boating
and still water bathing. TIE beach is
one of the finest to be found on tho
Atlantic coast. 1t Is gentle shering
and composed of hard packed sand,
extending distance of six miles, form
ing q beautiful drive, and 10 hard that
scarcely an indentation is made upon
upon it. The surf-bsthing is unex-
celled, the under tow being hardly per-
ceptable, rendering it perfectly safe for
women and children, no roops are
needed for safety. The hay and
thoroughfare afford safe yachting, and
abound in fish, oysters, clans and
crabs.
The atmosphere Is like that Of Allan
tic City, dry and salubrious, making it
very desirable for winter residences.
These advantages surPasS most other
ton of Sea Isle. Now a few words
ahont the city. The streets and ave-
nues are being laid ous and decorated
in a manner that will! make 1t the most
heAthful city to be found by the sra.
The lots are gold under certain stipula-
tions. Side walks TO be lJ feet wide,
with flower beds on either side, build
ings to be erected 10 feet from the street
line, yards to be ornamented with dow
ers, vases and stationary. Only one
house will be allowed on u Let, and no
cess-|WOls will be dug on the Island.
These regulations will make Sea Isle
City grand, and will grow more beauti-
full year by year. Though just started
this summer, improvements are going
rapidly forward. A turnpike has just
been completed from the sea side to the
Island. A branch railroad from Sea-
yillo, 10 the Island is being pushed for
ward, and will be opened carry in the
fall.
The whole under the management of
Nr. c. Il. Landis, the founder OF Vine
land, n. j. whose skill and enterprise
converted What was a wilderness into
ono OF the most beautiful towns in the
country, will insure all that is claimed
for Sea Isle City, the most beautiful
city by the sea.
To the people Of Wilmington who can
offer to spend little time at the sea
shore, this place offers better facilities
than any other. 1t is only a little over
two bouls ride by rail and cheap fares
ui..lse it desirable for our business men
and hers.
Lots are 81 feet by no feet and are
selliuG rapidly at from $50 to $3.50.
Enough have been sold under imp ove-
meDt stipulat ons, to make it a beauti-
ful city wiLnin the next Is months.
