Hotel brooklyn has been blessed with good sea-
son so far, and has kept abreast with the summer
in series of entertainments and such amuse-
ments as seem necessary for vacationists. For the
last fortnight a few men have been engaged
in plotting out large golf course. The land for
the same has been leased by the hotel. and covers
an area large enough to include nine holes. A
number of excellent natural hazards have been dis
covered on the grounds. 1t has been said by those
who know the game that the fields be made
into one of the best courses in these parts The
situation commands a sweeping view Great
South Bay to the beach, which this point
is only about two and half miles across. The

laid out yet: But If the enthusiastic work it be
continued, 1t bids fair to be of the greatest
attractions of this place.

run up and down, here and there, sometimes with
as indefinite destinations the ambitions of their
shippers. Swimming of course is another pastme.
Almost every body gets into the water some time
during the day. Sunday here overcast and
threatening. The evening proved warmer than had
been looked for. This morning the shines and
a stiff southwesterly blows up the bay.
Many boats put off early enjoy the brisk sailing
