ana happy hotel men at this resort have
all been materially affected by the sudden
chahSe IN temperature during the past
week When the mercury suddenly drop
PED INTO the fifties cotton gave way to
wool in the realm of women's costumes
and duck and crash were replaced by
worsted and cashmere among the gentle
men. But this is not the only change
wrought by the facile weather builder
Had this been all the largest houses would
sun nave been crowded to the utmost limit
with superfiuty of patronage and cheer
full landlords continue to wear the well
coming smile. But unfortunately the
rapid disappearance of visible mercury in
local temperature gauges brought to The
minds OF passive seaside resorters sundry
ana frequent thoughts of home and arti-
hclai neat, and only too Often the result Of
sucn renection has been a squarng of ac-
counts, packing of trunks and a sum
mary exit from breeze-blown verandas and
refrigerated bed rooms.
Thus have departed those whose seaboard
visits are the product solely of an alti-
tudinols mercury and whom the cooling
breath of relief sends shivering to their
city residences. But those who really en-
JOY the amusements offered at fashion
able watering resort, who enjoy the various
attractions for their very attrac tiveness
and do not shift like weather vanes with
every change of wind. are still decidedly
on deck and contributing all their energies
toward making the season a financially and
socially successful one.
The WhceIman's DELIGHT,
Under the cooler weather thousands of
bkers have been tempted to the splendid
boulevards, and knickerbockers and short
skirts are everywhere in evidence. Ten
thousand wheels daily carry as many zeal
Gus cyclists whizzing by the plodding prom
enader, and the hundreds of miles OF per
feet roads on this splendid coast are a
potent and active means that is operating
for the decline of the dogcart and phaeton
and the certain extinction of pedest ria mis- IN.
And ills supremacy of the ball-bearing
vehicle is everywhere recognized. Hotel
Keepers now provide rooms porters and
'grooms" for the care of the shining steeds,
and the limit is not yet
Bathing daily calls out the same great
thronS of dippers in brine. All day long
the shore is lined and the water bespecked
with thousands of plungers in the rolling
surf. Gaily costumed bathers are in great
prominence and divide the time between
cooling off IN the bounding billows and
baking in the summer sun on the brown
and heated sands.
Senator Bradeys sand artist continues to
attract lots of attention by his marvellous
reproduction, 10y means of the pepper and
salt building material, of strikingly ac
curate Hkenesses of famous men, SEA
nymphs and mermaids. He recently mold
ed perfect likeness of George Washington
on horseback that seemed 10 he almost
vocal in the perfection of detail and bold
clear-cut outline.
Indoor Fun.
The atmospheric change has also caused
a renewal of activity in indoor amuse-
mcnts. Euchre has been the prevailing
game. The Brunswick recently held big
card party. in which one hundred and
sixty guests participated The Ocean.

also held big progressive euchre parties
The regular md-week and childrens hops
continue to pleasantly entertain the devo-
tees OF the dance at all the principal
