NARRAaANsETr PIER, Aug. 2.-This Is
probably the most brilliant and success
full season the Pier has boosted In several
years. The hotels have been crowded TO
OVERLOOKING for q number Of days and the
hotel proprietors are happy as they have
not been before in some time. While
there is perhaps not quite so much money
spent at the Casino and in the
shops as in former seasons, yet the
hotels maintain their old prices and have
no difficulty whatever in disposing
of every available room and even cots
have been in demand. The weather has
been delightfully."- cool and the recent hot
wave has driven hundreds to seek comfort
and recreation at the Pier. The fox hunts
have not become very popular, but they
call out quite a large attendance. At the
Casino the music this season is far from
what it should be in q place Of this kind.
The management has provided q wholly
inadequate orchestra who do the best
they can, but the patrons express them
selves as much dissatisfied.
Miss Belknap Of Washington and Miss
Hanley of Providence are conspicuous
among the beauties admired on the bath
ing beach.
