TEbee Season Soon to Open with
New Pavilion on Beach.
The resorts caught the Sunday
crowds again yesterday. There were
many at Tybee, Isle of Hope and Thun-
derbolt. The other suburban places
had their share of those bent on recre-
alton, and quite a number went to
Charleston to see the exposition build
ings.
A large number visited Tybee Island,
and quite a number ventured into the
water Mr.. Charles F. Graham had his
bath houses open, and furnished re-
freshments to those who were so in
clined. The Tybee season has not yet
really opened, and Tybee Hotel will not
open for the public until about the goth.
Mr.. Graham has made a number of i'm
provements and expects a successful
season.
A new pavilion on the beach is
now being constructed and will be
ready for use about June l. The pavil-
ion is located about fifty feet from
high water mark and is 100 feet long
and 80 feet wide. There will be a
walk ten feet in width on the sea side
and those who do not care for dancing
but do enjoy the music will be provid-
ed with the seats where they can view
the ocean and hear the strains of the
orchestra that has already been en-
gagged for Tybee Hotel. The location
of the new pavilion makes it an ideal
place for dacing and lounging.
Many at Casino.
The Thunderbolt Casino was throng-
ed and an excellent concert was given
by the First Regiment band. An alb
sence of sandhies was noticeable and
those who visited the favorite resort of
the street railway spent an enjoyable
afternoon.
Although the Casino restaurant has
not yet opened, refreshments were
served yesterday. Manager Nelson ex-
poets to open the restaurant on next
Sunday. His linen and silverware has
not yet put in an appearance, and this
has occasioned the delay in opening
for business. Mr.. Nelson and General
Manager Maggie of the Savannah Elec
trio Company will entertain some of
the newspaper men with a supper to
break the restaurant help in. The sup
per will probably be served at the Ca
sino Saturday evening, Mr.. Maggie TAX
ing it upon himself to look after the
wine card. This private affair will
mark the opening of the Casino restau-
rant.
Isle of Hope Popular.
Isle of Hope proved a drawing card
and Barbee's pavilion was crowded
during the day. Mr.. Barbee's restau-
rant was literally patronized, and
many fish suppers were served.
The day at this resort was a pleas
ant one, and bathing proved a favor
lite past time with many of those who
went out. Mr.. Barbee served out many
bathing suits and at different times
over a hundred persons sported in the
salt water. The new diving stands re-
Gently built, have become popular and
Speedy stunts were done by the more
expert swimmers who took a dip yes
terday. Many of those who visited Isle
of Hope went out in their own convey
ances. Special schedules were run on
all of the trolley lines.
At Lincoln Park.
The colored population drifted west
ward and patronized Lincoln Park,
their favorite resting place. The Lin
coin Park cars were all crowded and
the negroes found much pleasure at
the street railways place west of the
city. Those who didn't care to leave
the city spent their nickels on the belt
| lines, and they were literally patro-
nized.
