 Business-Many New Arrivals.
 The shore was visited yesterday afternoon
 by several hundred people. A cool breeze
 from of the waters of the Sound made the
 temperature very leasant.
 Down in Railroad Grove MT. Hager's flying
 horses take the lead as the most popular
 amusement in that cool and shady section.
 The little folks take solid delight in whirling
 around upon these quiet inanimate steeds,
 and the pleasant excitement is greatly en-
 hanced by the sword and ring contest, in the
 harmless strife to see who will carry off the coveted brass ring, the only one out of thir- ty-two rings, all of which the riders capture during their successive circuits of their cir cumscribed race track. The brass ring en- titles the winner to free ride. Some of the young misses among the contestants are very expert in the use of the blunt-ended swords used to reach for the rings Hundreds Of visitors at the grove also visit the wonderful imitation of the celebrated Strasburg clock and are amazed and delighted, amazed at the wonder of the clock and delighted with the eloquence and elear-toned voice of the lecturer, who is none other than the famous Press Eldridge, who is spending the summer at the shore.
