COLONIAL BEACH, Va, July 3, 1896.
Notwithstanding the earliness Of the sea-
son. this beautiful resort, the summer home
Of so many Washingtonians, IS becoming
more crowded each day.
Many improvements have been made at
the Beach this spring, and several places
of amusement have been added to those
already here, such as bowling alleys, sum-
mer gardens and race track. The most
noticeable improvement Is the new pavilion
in course of construction, built over the
water 100 feet from the shore and reached
by a thirty-foot pier. The pavilion is to be
three stories in height, first floor to be
used as dining hall, the second floor as
a roller skating rink in the daytime and
dancing pavilion In the evening. The third
floor is to be devoted to the accommoda-
ton of excursionists. The whole is to be sur
mounted by a roof garden. Each floor Is to
contain $500 square feet. The whole is to be
surrounded by a porch with awning for
shading purposes.
With very few exceptions all Of the cot
tages are occupied, including the forty or
fifty new ones recently built.
Mr. George Leof1ler has built quite a large
and handsome house on Dennison street.
Mr.. c. w. Walcott has changed his
pavilion into an apartment house.

lot in the rear OF the large hotel to the
