PHIL DALY's.
Branch superlativ

1t is called the Pennsylvania Club house,
because it is said to have been started, in the
first place, for the accommodation of rich
Philadelphians. However that may be, for
tunes made all over the country are lost
here, and the relentless "per cent" on them
goes to fill PM Days already bursting
Golfers. He built a Roman Catholic chapel
with some of his wealth last year, as if to
pacify the Lord a little while getting the
DEVILS help constantly. But somehow people
of any denomination do not take kindly to
his meeting house. He has openly defied
the law many years, and no attempt has
ever been made to raid his house till the
other day 1t was done then by the aid of a
callow young theological student who played
amateur detective. He was so awfully set
up over it that he burst into the gambling
room at the head of some policemen, and
brandished revolver and cried in loud
voice: u take the credit of this. This is
mine"
He was very meek and lowly young
Christian, indeed
DAILY and some Of his gentlemen were ar
rested, but the plucky old gambler showed
fight and succeeded in making confusion
enough for the customers to get away under
cover of it. They were well known New
York men who did not want their names in
the papers. But the gambling goes on alice
samee Phil Days men all wear dress suits.
One feature OF Long Branch is that day
excursionists have no show at all there. No
merry go round, with monsters on which to
ride, no monster coasters, elephants, bearded
women shows, or any Of the nickel entertain
ments dear to the hearts of children and
rustic rovers are there. Long Branch is so
high toned as to be very dull for these
A driveway runs along the bluff, which is
not very well kept up however. The
fashionable part of Long Branch, as every
other place, is the west end, from the West
End hotel ending with the Elberon cottages.
1t is not very great space, but it thinks it
is very great.

In 1885, Webb, the English swimmer, lost
his life in attempting to pass the rapids. 1t
was left for a lank young Philadelphian to
accomplish the feat in a barrel.
Graham is 81 years old, and has spent
much of his life knocking about the world.
He has been all around it. for one thing, He
is of slight build, dark complexioned and
thin. He is of an adventurous turn of mind.
At the time Webb lost his life Graham was
in England. During the excitement at that
time it occurred to him to try the expert
ment which has just resulted successfully
Being cooper, the idea of making the trip
in a barrel suggested itself.
He went to Buffalo two months ago, and
began working on the barrel He made it

The following story is told of the individual
who had long ofiiciated as the gardener at the
presidential mansion in Washington;
President Cleveland had heard rumors that
the gardener was drunk and mciN to Wis
itors at the White House, so one bright morn
ing he summoned him into his presence to re-
ceive his dismissal.
"Jemmy," said the president, Il hear bad
stories about you. 1t is said you are con
stantly drunk and uncivil to visitors.
Jenny was puzzled for a reply. At last
he said

OF the four great sesshore resorts near
New York city, Coney Island is the place

other people call poor and pious, Long
Branch is the spot where wealthy Hebrews
and summer guests from points outside Of
New York city congregate, while Newport
is where the blue bloods the self-styled real
aristocracy of New York city have cottages
during the four warm months which are
called the season.
The chief features of Long Branch are the
hotels and cottages and the gambling houses
1t is getting the fashion now for a central
dining room, kitchen and restaurant to be
built, with limited number of lodging
rooms attached. Clustered all around it are
cottages, SO called; in reality, ornate and
large houses of wood. These are usually
built without kitchens. The proper thing,
that is to say, the fashionable thing, to do is
to rent or own a cottage near the central
restaurant and take your meals there
The Wilmingtonian., 1886-07-31

Such group Of hotels and cottages is the
Elberon, with the Francklyn cottage, where
Garfield died. Such is the Hollywood, the
most gorgeously decorated, perhaps also one
of the most expensive, hotels in America.
This establishment belongs to the property
of Mr.. John Hoey. A limited number of
splendidly finished and furnished cottages
are in this group They are remarkable in
coloring and woodwork Upon the porches
of these cottages are to be seen the chairs
made in imitation of the shape of sea shell
that you observe in the picture. They are
foreign fashion borrowed from French
watering places. They are made of cane
and willow, and shelter one occupying them
from rain and draft. East Indian bamboo
lounges, with little pocket in them to hold
a glass and bottle, are also among the Holly
wood porch furniture. 1t suggests delicious
laziness unspeakable.
At the best of times, even from Saturday
night to Monday morning, there are three
women to one man at Long Branch, as at
all watering places.
The Wilmingtonian., 1886-07-31

The marriageable young man who is
there, who has plenty of clothes and money
to pay his board, may be considered to be
in paradise. Sweet girls flock around him
They look up to him and adore him when
he is there; they dream about him and sigh
for him when he is not. He has nothing to
do but change his clothes four times a day
and look bored and little melancholy, as
though he had secret sorrow. He will be as
great man as turbaned Turk in his own
harem.
The gambling houses have been men
toned. The most splendidly furnished and
most renowned one in the United States is
here, to make use yet once more Of Long

He quickly passed under the two bridges,

them as he passed under. From the time
the barrel was set adrift till it was picked
