visitors OF the fair sex.

more places OF romantic interest to show
far more beautiful than we sometimes
realize. The facilities for recreation and
safe amusements are many and varied.

picturesque shores, extends a welcome
to the people Of Providence Ar and a
Pawtuxet will be covered with gay boat
ing parties every day from now until the
end of summer, and the Seekonk's broad
bosom will bear many a happy cargo.
There are drives around Providence al
most unexcelled for interest aud coaching
parties ought to enjoy them to their ut
most.
But why is it that certain people al
ways must be foolhardy, and take risks
that bring such ordinarily safe and
lth-giving amusements into such bad
repute among prudent, anxious friends :
Only IA few days ago very top-heavy
coach, carelessly driven, was overturned,
and the enjoyment was spoiled. not

ago very serious accident was
river. fhe Brown University war canoe
was overloaded with party OF students
and their lady friends. and started against
wind and tide and without skilled guild
ance down the river aud through the
drawbridge. The com Animation was
very dangerous one. The Narragansetts
or the Pawtuckets would not have allowed
q boat OF this size to leave their landing
without three or four skilled boatmen.
They would not have forsaken the broad,
safe waters OF the upper river for the
dangerous currents below. That the
party escaped unharmed, after several
exciting adventures, should not encou rage
a repetition of such foolhardiness.
