not to be found in the South. Sitting
under the roof of the spacious pavil-
lion and looking out over the lazy wa
etrs of the bay sparkling in the bright
| sunshine. toward the blue outline Of
| the sea, marked here and there with
| the white sails Of the passing ships. is
| a pastime made doubly delightful when
| Old Sol turns his scorching rays upon
| the earth. That is what visitors to
| Buckroe did on Sunday.
| Mr.. Darling has made many i'm
provements at the Beach since the
| close of last years season. The
| pavilion has been extended sixty feet
toward the water and has been provid-
| ed with seats and tables for picnic par

preciated by Sunday school and church
excursions, as it affords ample room

i've features of outing parties made up
