Although the Coward weekly excursions
to Virginit Beach via the Norfolk and
Washington steamboat line have been in
argurated but a few weeks, they have be-
GENE decidedly popular. Probably no ex-
cIrsion could better appeal to that sent1-
ment of delightful restfulness than this
trip down the bay to Old Point Comfort
and thence to Virginia Beach, the only
ocean resort in the state of Virginia. 1t is
known fact that the beach at this IA
nous resort is without an equal In this
country. For a distance of twenty miles
at low tide teams can be driven along the
waters edge, the buggy wheels making no
imprint III the nara Sdtt anu lIle horses
hoofs being scarcely 6istinguishable. The
Norfolk and Washington palace steam
boats are admitted to be the most palatial
steamers in this vicinity.
The headquarters of the Coward excur
sions are at Columbia Theatcr, where Mr..
n. Stein attends to the business affairs of
the trips.
