ATLANTIC Cry, August al arrived
at this delightful place several DAYS
ago in search Of rest and health, and /
assure you that have found both In
the live renewing breezes from old
ocean. The ocean Is always grand,
and majestic and it seems to me that
| can never tire of looking at 1t. It is
beautiful when calm, and terrible
when dashed into fury by the winds,
carrying death and destruction In its
course.
Nothing can be more delightful
than to stand in one of the many pa
yilions, and look at the many vessels
lar out at sea, some of them on their
way to New York, and others to almost
every port In the world. Some will
reach their destination in safety, while
others may go to the bottom OF the
great deep.
''rhe City by the Sea" is now at Its
best, and In addition to the regular
boarders; there is daily influx OF WIS.,
itors. To-day there was large mum.
Der from Wilmington, among them
being. Colonel Enoch Moore, Taylor
Bradford, Samuel Barley, Sheriff
Clark, g. Barrett, Samuel Hamby,.Li
burne Chandler, ESQ, and host of
! others. They came by way of the
pennsylvania short route, and all
Joineui III pralsing 1t as the best way OF
reaching Atlantic.
Tho excursionists left Wilmington at
7.25 O'Clock in the morning and reached
here few minutes after 10 o'clock.
and MS the return train did not leave
| here until $50 in the afternoon they
had full day OF pleasure and enjoy
ment.
Pawnee Bills Wild West Show ia now
exhibiting at the base ball grounds near
the inlet ami doing an excellent busl-
neas. Tie groundsarr,lght at night
| with elghtean electric lights and both
the afternoon and evening perfor.
nances are crowded. Miss Nav Lille
has won reputation with the rifle that
has never been excelled: Yesterday
while riding rapidly on horseback she
| shot at fifteen birds and succeeded in
| killing fourteen.
To-day Eagle Eye took his wife,
| Niola, and his sweet little baby laugh.
| ing eyes" with two Indians, on trip
| out on the old ocean, on one of the
| little steamers that leaves the pier at
| the inlet. The boat rolled and SO did
the "innards" of the passengers. and
there was scarcely lady on" board
| that was not very pale. Niola with her
husband and child occupied scat on
the upper deck, but when the boat
commenced to roll, Niola made tho
excuse that the baby was sick, and
Eagle Eye took them below.
Joseph Murphey, who formerly had
u saloon on East Seventh street near
Market, IN Wilmington, is now estab-
llshed here, and has fine plade at No
II south Carolina avenue, near the
railroad station, whcre he will be gla /
to meet all his old friends. zap
Townsley, fred" Huss, and number
OF his Wilmington friends called on
him to-day and he was not only pleas
cd to see them but give them a cor
| lial reception.
may also mention here that the
Indian, Slow Dog with the Wild West
Show, who was SO badly injured in
Wilmington, has fully recovered, and
Is able to ride as well as ever.
| This Is the place to come for health,
pleasure and recreation and my adj
vice Is to every tired worker in Will
mington, come down here and spend
Mt least day. The boat from king
street wharf connects with the tIuin MT
Pennsgrove every Sunday. and the
fare Is but nominal. The bathing. bout
ing and fishing are excellent, and do
not Know place on eari h where per-
son can spend more pleasant day or
/ week.
| almost forgot to mention that
among our visitors who will spend a
week with US, Is George l.. Ferguson,
the well known confectioner of No. ii
last second street, and his accom-
plishcd wife they are having u good
time, the same as all others that come
mere. OBsERvRR.
