When you were one OF the little band OF hungry,

Bowery every night for q nfteen-cent bed Of down
on which to rest your aching Frame a. long as your
stock Of 10 centses neld out7
And when, in your moment OF downheartedness,
you thought OF stunning OF this mortal coil, with
the aid OF the friendly gas Jets In q corked-up
room, didn't your morbid fancy lightly turn to
thoughts OF Suicide Hall. on the Boweryf
Praps Inquirer objects to the word summer, y
but to my mind he's no better of. even at that.
A summer resort 10 a place where people gather
for relief from tue burden Of life; to socialize; to
dissport and d~issipate; TO spend their surplus,
nirt make love aud gather honeysuckles py the
way. some people can afford to take In Saratoga
or - the Branch, while some prefer Newport or
Narrsgansett, and a few from this town 60 down
to Mr.. Cooney's Island.
Now, next TO Mr.. Cooney's place, and, In fact,
very nearly related to 1t az . summer resort, 10 the
old Bowery.
TAT Cooney's the ladies aud gentlemen promenade
tie hotel verandas to the music OF Patsey sarsneld
Giimores baud. In the bowery they ..pound the
pave " to the music of forty orchestras, not count
lug those bands composed of q whoezy piano, a
three-legged stool and a human monstrosity each.
The California ladies' orchestra at ex-Alderman
krauss's and that at the Atlantic are popular ex-
amples. Cool, foaming lager takes the place OF
Mumm and Pommery Sec. and cheese ndwic
are hrst-rate substitutes for grilled duck or devilled
crabs.
And there Is more real nriqht sociability, too.
A father can take along a dozen offspring 10 this
summering place, instead Of leaving them behind
for economy while he runs Town to " the Island"
alone.
AS for recre alton, at what other resort can one
have the pleasure OF taking a telescope view Of the
world beyond through the waist Of a pretty girl :
