BALTIMoRE's advantages as sum-
mer resort have never been sufficient
" dwelt upon. That explains, we
suppose, why sweltering thousands
have not hocked to its hospitable con-
fines during this little period of warm
weather. We wish to assure the pub
lie that our city is o most excellent
abiding place during the summer sea-
son. 1t has beautiful parks, excel
lent drives, splendid water courses
for boating, and there are amusements
OF very high order of merit at
minimum of cost. The hotels and
boarding houses have plenty of room,
and their rates are exceedingly rea-
sonable Prices are uniformly low.
A big glass of soda water or lemon
ade costs only five cents, and ice
cream is so good and so cheap that
any young mans pocketbook can
stand the strain of the healthiest fe-
male appetite. Then, again, our
churches are open during the summer
and the Gospel is preached just as it
usually is, without being diluted or
revised to agree with summer resort
morality. These advantages ought
to satisfy the most exacting seekers
after comfort; but if they do not, all
be has to do is to jump on train, and
in three hours be will be in the noun
tains or at the seaside, as be prefers.
-American
Comparisons are odious," we
know, but admitting the truth of all
our mamoth brother says Of the ad-
vantages of Baltimore as summer
resort, that city will not compare with
Annapolis. There are too many
people living there; its streets are
filed with too much noise and con-
fusion; too many dirty places, and too
many bad smells arise from her fer
tilizer and other factories and cess
pools; there are too many mosquitoes
in her bed-chambers; too much mala.
ria and filth around her wharves, docks
and basins; and too much that is
neither pleasant to see, to taste or to
smell. Annapolis is free Of all these.
Annapolis has her parks and drives
too. She has fine salt water all
around her borders; she has clean,
well-paved streets; clean docks and
wharves-a salubrious atmosphere
everywhere. Her people do not have
to sweIter behind mosquito bars, or
close their chamber windows to keep
out malaria. Her hotels and board
ing houses are well kept and at fair
prices, and life is felt to be worth liv.
ing within her confines. No perma-
nent resident goes away in the SUM
mer to mountain OF seashore, except
those VINO do SO for the "name Of the
thing,n and these come back filed
with regret at having sacrificed to
fashion" . month or more ofcomrort-
able life. All Annapolis needs to
make it one Of the most desirable and
delightful summer resorts or perma-
nent residences Is railroad facilities. and
these we hope she will soon have
With these secured, We viii throw
