Long Branch.


The present season promises to he one
of unprecedented prosperity. Improve
ments have been made on every side.
Over 100 new cottages have been built
this season, mostly in Queen Anne style
and by men to whom luxury is a wonted
custom, and Ocean Avenue for three
miles shows but few vacant lots. The
lavish display of color on these same
Queen Anne cottages is wonderful. Most
Of them seem built of slabs of rainbow,
with q kaleidoscope roof, soap-bubble
windows, and Easter-egg cupolas,
trimmed with ribbons and sea-shells.
Add to these lively charms several tall
and red-hot chimneys, blue and white
awnings, gilded vanes, curviDg and airy
hammocks of gray, chairs of yellow, YER
million, and indigo: set the whole in
square of most vivid emerald lawn where
gorgeous verbeDas, geraniums, calceo-
larias and gladiola flame like patches Of
fire, and where morning-glories and
passion-vines twist and trail and stream
their many splendors; and then surround
the whole with fence whose very posts
and wires are scintillant with burnish
and color-and you have some idea of
the gorgeousness of Long Branch
villa. Withal, perfect taste for the most
part reigns, or rather the Queen Anne
cottage seems to be so heterogeneous
that nothing in art or nature would be
out of place in the general tumble which
is its main characteristic. One thing is
certain, however, it is most pleasing to
the eye; it is strongly in contrast with
the heavy and sombre lines of brown
stone of the city; it is bright as flower,
aud cheerful as the sunlight it revels in;
it looks, and is, cool; it is fragile and
delicate, and dainty as you please; and,
as Artemus Ward was won't to say in
moments of strong enthusiasm-long
may it wave The hotels have kept
even pace with this backward slide into
medisval gaudiness, and have been
prodigal in reds, blues, grays and browns
In the way of paint, and from the lead
colored veranda to the nipple of bunting
over all, are brilliantly aglow. The
beer saloons have not fallen behind the
hotels in the race for variety Of hue,
and the very telegraph men have
wbitened their poles, rubbed up their
insulators, polished their wires, and in
undated their Office with carmine, ochre
and lake, until the whole place looks like
a sky-rocket in permanent state of ex-
plOslon.

not be surprising if early receipts were large.
