COLONIAL BEACH,

Correspondence of The EVENING STAR
was greatly surprised upon arriving at this
resort to find that we had so convenient to
Washington such beautiful, well conducted
anu In every way pleasant place to pass the
heated term. Its distance is sixty-five miles
from Washington, and can be reached by
steamers every day. The fare is q mere trifle
Inc POTOMAC at this point is about nine miles
wide, and the beach at this point not being
parallel with the river, the direct front view is
over an expanse of water extending beyond the
vision: The hotel is situated about 200 yards
from the beach, elevated by gradual assent
about hfteen to twenty feet above tide-water,
giving ample room upon the lawn for the guests
and their children. It is three-story structure
containing about seventy rooms Fine broad
porches for the comfort Of the patrons extend
the length Of the entire building two stories in
height both front and rear The beach is all
that bathers can wish, being clean and sloping
gradually.
Under its present management the hotel ta-
BILE is we'll supplied; the bedding and all parts
OF the entire place is clean and neatly kept
Near the beach is a commodious dancing pavil-
ion, and every Thursday evening there 10 3 ball
for tile guests and dancing parties from the ex.
cursions avail themselves of it. When the
Washington public become better acquainted
with the resort 1t will no doubt be necessary to
expand the hotel.
A number of prominent citizens of Washing
ton have erected neat cottages on the line of the
beach. south Of the hotel and each cottage has
flagstaff Usually when the excursions ar
rive the cottages and the hotel grounds are dec
Grated with bunting, giving beautiful effect
as the steamers near the place. VISITOR
