Special to the REPUBLICAN.

Ine present season NJ THIS IavOrlto re-
sort is very backward for the middle
of July, which Is no doubt caused by
the unusual cool weather. Most of the
cottagers, however, bave been here for
a week or more and ere long the hotels
will, no doubt, be comfortably filled,
as visitors are daily arriving. AT pres
ent there are about fifty guests at both
the hotel Henlopen and Douglass
House, while the Bright House has
nearly the same number on its regis
ter.
During the months of August and
ISeptember, when the school tea,hers
and Peninsula editors make their annu-
al visits, the place will no doubt be-
made quite lively, as it WAS last year
when the State Teachers Association
and Peninsula Press Association met
here.
The Delaware, Maryland and Vir-
ginia Railroads have done much for the
future success of Rehoboth, by extend
ing their tracks down through the camp
meeting woods to point about fifty
yards from the Bright House, which
does away with the disagreeable hack
rido, through the dust, from the old de-
pot to the beach.
In addition to this great improve
ment, the above company have made
decided improvements in it rolling
stock, while fast express train makes
close connections with the Delaware
Railroad at Harrington, making the
ride from Wilmington or Philadelphia
to the sea pleasant one, while the fare
Is considered very low.
| A number of improvements have been
made here since last year, principal
among which is the new pier, built by
one of Rehoboth's most enterprisinp
citizens, which extends considerable
distance out into the ocean, making q
very pleasant resort for residents and
visitors, while out promenading.A a pho
tograph gallery near the pier il also a
lnew feature at this place.
Among the cottagers who are now
located here for the season, are the fol
lowing from Wilmington: Thomas
and William Drein with their families
Mrs. NJ. f. Riley, Captain Johnson
Mrs. Poole, Rev. Mr.. Prettyman, Prof
Ferd. Fullmer, and several others who's
names cannot be brought to mind a
this writing. Prot Fullmer, Will
mington's well-known musician, IL
addition to indulging in his favorit
pastime, that Of bathing, has whilet
away part OF the time in beautifyini
his cottage by turning painter ant
giving it fresh coat Of paint, wbicl
makes il very attractive. Among tn,
Wilmingtonians registered at the var
5 ious hotels your correspondent noticed
r. Belts and wife, Il. II. Mulhausen
. William Bright, and several others
: who are rusticating for a short time.
The place WAS made lively to-day b.
, the arrival of about 700 excursionist
r from Dover, Wyoming and FELTON,, VIII
came down on special train Of twelv
, cars. The party comprised the men
bers and friends Of Dover M. E. Sun
: day school, who were Joined at Felto
by small delegation from the Sunda
, school at that place. The party LEI
Dover at $40 o'clock, but not yer
hopeful Of having good time, rs 1t Wa
, pouring rain at the time, while heav
, iclouds hung over their heads in
Threatening manner, which was though
: by many TO indicate a stormy day.
t The train had not proceeded man
1 miles before the clouds faded ava,
and the welcome sunshine made /
\ appearance, which sent q thrill Of gla(
8 ness through the hearts Of the entil
party.
After the storm subsided, the rid
4 through Kent county on the Delawal
r road, and then through Sussex on ii
r Delaware, Maryland & Virginia Raj
road. was a delightful one. Arriving {
the beach about 10 o clock the cars wei
lQuickly unlOaded, and the excureionis'
, scattered in every direction, all bent o
n having good time.

y, best Of it and were 10th to leave II
