MOREHEAD CIIY, N. u,
July II, 1894.
The current week at Morehead
City has thus far been the most
enjoyable in the history of this
unrivaled seaside resort, not only
in the number and caste of at
tendance but also in the variety
of noteworthy incidents, aside
from the many natural attractions
that always win favor with visi-,
tors and afford the amplest posi-
BILE latitude for the exercise of
the individual taste, whether it be
for fishing, sailing, surf bathing,
still bathing, dancing, courting,
or the passive enjoyment of the
brisk breeze that flows from the
ocean, ladened with health giving
ozone and altogether refreshing.
The hundreds of guests who
throng the Atlantic Hotel were
gathered in the galleries and
on the side balconies of the
spacious ball room Sunday
evening, listening to the
enhancing renditions of the
splendid orchestra, meet for
the day, when,an unexpected and
superb musical treat was voucha-
fed them in singing of Mrs.
Claude M. Smith, of Selma, N.
c., who with her husband, a gen
ial and cultured gentleman, and
little daughter have been spend
ing some weeks here and winning
many admiring friends. Mrs.
Smiths voice is a marvel of com
pass, reaching the highest notes
with absolute ease and filling the
lowest with complete expression.
of perfect tone and exquisite
modulation, she was encored
again and again. Her rendition
of Scatter the Palms was rev.
elation, indeed, and gave to that
beautiful hymn henceforth new
interest and greater influence
for all who heard her.
The tri p ''out to sea" on the
| Revenue Cutter "Colfax" Mon
day, and the sail Monday
night by the Governors staff
have already been noted in THE
| ARGUS.
o. Tuesday, Governor Carr
formally inspected Camp Vance
and the soldiery of the Third and
Fourth Regiments of the State
Guard now in camp there. The
inspection was highly creditable
TO the troops and camp and en-
tlrely satisfactory to his Excel
lency, the Commander-in in Chief
of the State Guard. The encamp
ment will ''break" THURSDAY
morning bright and early, ano
will be preceded Wednesday by
a grand review of the Governor
and staff and on Wednesday night
by military ball and german a.
| the Atlantic Hotel, of all which
this correspondent will have
something to say when he writes
lagain.
The "fishmen" among the
lguests o. the Atlantic and they
are legion, were thrc wn into con
sternation Tuesday afternoon
and filled with envy over the un
precedented ''catch" of Mr.. S. B
Childs, of Raleigh, who, while
out trolling eff Cape Look -ou
light, besides taking numbers O
fine Spanish mackerel, captured
an Is pound Dolphin-the frs
ever known to be captured here
This is the swifest fish that swim:
, the sea, and is the most success
full in eluding the snares of man
rarely falling captive to his in
genuity and never without th'
) tiercest battle. In.brilliancy ant

, Tarpon, being perfect colder

shining silver. That Mr.. Child
y succeeded in capturing a Dolplil
is the wonder of the oldest regu
lar fishermen here and the TAX

the more valuable in that tn,
