BLUE cRoTTo OF CAPRI.
Nothing. Like II Elsewhere in the World.
An Indescribable Scene


Tho inhabitants Of Capri say that the;r
island is built upon grottoes and supported bv
natural arches like tho structures Of men
This is perhaps an exaggeration, but all
along the rocky shores there are beautiful
grottoes, and in the center oEthe island a de-
s-ent may be made for hundreds Of feet into
the bowels Of the earth in the Grotto Of the
Stalactites. The sea grottoes we visit in
making the giro or circuit OF the island
which is an excursion that brings the traveller
into contact with some Of the ralest effects Of
natural scenery known. Nowhere in the
world is there aught resembling the famous
Blue grotto Of the island Of Capri.
The entrance to the Blue grotto, situated in
the rocky cliff which faces the north at the
western extremity of the island, is perhaps
three feet in height and not more than FIVE in
width. When the sea is high it cannot be en-
tered at all. The marinaro who conducts the
purity through this apefture-and there must
be but three in the boat has all that he can
do to effect an entrance without having his
frail craft dashed in pieces The visitors are
obliged TO lie upon their backs in the bottom
Of the boat while the marii,ero, taking ad-
vantage Of the wave as il rises, and holding
on to the rock, guides her by a dexterous
shove into the cavern. Here for a moment
AiiS tgN9 hiS AaIAieA b1 u strange Lfrnt but
soon they accommodate themselves to it. and
then the visitor finds himself ia a lake Of linn
pid water, whose blue is that OF the sky. and
whose sheen is that of molten silver The ef-
feet is indescribable. Objects dipped in the
water, the boat and oars arc covered with
this silvery sheen, while the marinaro, who
plunges in for the amusement os visitors.
rises clad in garment Of flashing light The
whole extent Of the grotto is 100 feet by I55.
and the roof Of ribbed and eroined natural
arches shares the blue efulsence or the water
beneath.
Besides the Blue grotto Of Capri there are
along its coasts a series Of others. each of
which seems to take the blue waters of the
Mediterranean and convert them into tint
peculiar TO itself. The Green grotto on the
south side Of the island, weh its waters Of the
pnrest emerald hue, ranks next in beauty to
the Blue grotto. IL can, however, be entered
without difficulty through a 10 ty arehway.
and the effect, though grand and beautiful.
is not marvellous. There is the White grotto,
where the water seems like milk and the Red
grotto, where the roof is spangled with red
crystals in the limestone rock. There is also |
the Grotto OF Ferns. and along the shore as |
well as in the center OF the island are grottoes
where in some places the crystal stalactites
hang like great pointed columns and in !
Others like delicate fringe above the Wis !

A Pretty Sight.

Ladies have eyes ed
ucated to good taste in
dress, and their atten.
tion is not wholly con-
fined to their own out
fit. They watch the
styles for men, and
they know when a suit
is stylish and complete
in fit. Wilmington la.
dies are a unit in their
verdict that our cloth
ing is perfection as to
Style, Quality and Fit,
and we have heard a
number of them say
that they regard the
boys after clad in our
nat'y suit a VERY PREF
TY SIGHT indeed. They
speak the truth. Our
clothing is as good as
the very best to be
found in this broad
America, and it is a
pretty sight to see it
going on the best peo-
pie of Wilmington and
throughout the State
Of Delaware. We have
won our point-ar repu-
tation for selling Styl-
ish Clothing at Popu.
