as II to say 81 propose to make II hot for you today
II you want 70 be comfortable make haste and get
out all you that can" Sometimes It looks rs If he
had been before rising sunday mornings by the
propretOrs Of steamboat lines and seaside hotels and
induced to make 1T very hot in the morning hours,
attracting people to the beaches only TO have them
return half frozen and chilled TO DEATH At other
times his actions are suggestive OF the meanest kind
If practical joking, for after crOwdng 'e shore with
painting seekers OF fresh air fl 5m the city, he literally
dre1ches them with cold water and himself sncals
behind the clouds If ashamed of his unscruDu-
lOus conduct.
But not so yesterday. While the morning air was
not to- hot, il warm enough TO serve as al
sort Of prod to all who in doubt to-
whether 1t would he good day 10 spend at the
seaside. The sky was perfectly clear and
brightly blue, and even the earliest boats for
Coney Island were well patronized. BY noon the
human tide was sweeping with Hood momentum
tow ard the sea, while the tide of the ocean com
ing up sluggislly, If to meet that from the shore.
Yesterday a great day for the little Ones and the
Iron Steamboat Company's boats were made cheerful
By their happy shouts and merry laughter. AT West
the young husband had or tle other of them in
his arms all the time. The music in the carousels
was never so lively. In the swings white petdcoats
uttered in the breeze, and girls with bright and sn

form of Introduction to the ups and downs o! life
The feet of the thrOngs Of people shnfied the
paths. Now and then group of merry young people
would come into collision with another group, and,
disenangng themselves, would scatter, laughing att
their own laundering carelessness But everywhere
good nature and good order prevailed. 1t was typ
lcal New-York crowd at popular resort, and snch
as one only on holidays in the harbor of the
