MoREHEAD, City, N c.. June 2s-There
is such variety of amuSementS here that
however many may be here everyone may
be having glorious time. There is moth
ing quite so exciting to those who enjoy
fishing as trolling party early in the
morning. A hundred pens have attempt
ed TO describe this exciting sport, but how
ever well drawn the picture or however
vivid the description it is absolutely tame
when compared to the intense and excit-
ing sensation you have when you feel your
line tighten and you know that you have
captured a blue fish or spanish mackerel
The latter has been aptly termed the
"Cavalier of the Sea-" lie is the bravest,
boldest, most dashing and fearless cap
tain of the finny tribe, and he is never
captured without struggle. When he
strikes at the decoy, then it is, probably,
that he makes his first mistake and when
he fin 5 himself being drawn by an irresis-
table force to, he he knows not where, he
dives way down beneath the waves then
rises again and leaps in the air sometimes
dozen feet high. He bounds from bill
low to billow, tights with all his might for
have safely landed him in the bottom of
the boat.
Inc next amusement to fishing is surf
bathing, indeed great number think that
bathing in broken billows is the chief at
traction Of Morehead. There is not on the
Atlantic coast a finer beach than the More
head beach and every afternoon hundreds
of gay and happy your.; folks and old
folks too are found riding the waves. The
moonlight sailing for the past week has
been grand. 1t would, in my opinion, be
impossible to spend moonlight evening
more pleasantly than on swift gliding
''Sharple" as it dashes over the waves,
through the slvery spray that glitters in
soft golden moOnbeams.
No wonder our Summer Capital is pop
ular, and no wonder the good people come
from Georgia, from Tennessee, from Mis-
sissippi, from Alabama and our other sis
ter States to spend the Summer here. The
clever Proprietors of the already famous
Atlantic Hotel are making it real pleas
ure to stay here. Aside from the natural
attractions and varied amusements that
characterize Morehead, Messrs. Beerman
Il Cooke, the former noted hotelist of
Atlanta, Ga, and the latter one of the
most popular and successful hotelists in
| North Carolina, are giving the Atlantic
that it ought to be. Tney are ably assist
ed by the popular Campbell Bros, of At
lanta, aud every day new compliments are
paid TO the hotel and its excellent manage
ment. 1t is glorious to sit hereabouts and
| always feel cool refreshing breezes, and
those who miss it are indeed to be pitied
The Teachers Assembly has adjourned
and the teachers have all gone home, OF
gone to New York on the excursion which
is managed by that prince of managers
Eugene G. Harrell of Raleigh. The ses
sion was full of interest and profit tc
teachers, and full of pleasure to visitors
