Captain John w. Harper. of the
steamer Wilmington, tells The MeSsen-
ger that everything is in ship-shape
order for the opening of the season at
Carolina Beach on the 10Th instant.
The railroad has been put in first class
condition, the engine and cars over
hauled and the steamer pier repaired.
The Hotel Oceanic will be used as a
restaurant and will be in charge OF Mrs.
Rebecca Eilers to serve sea delicacies
IN the most approved style.
Captain Harper anticipates a big us
mess this season, and in fact has al
ready booked nineteen excursions OF
his popular steamer. He is contemplate
ing reducing the fare to 10 cents each
way, and no doubt such a low a T rs
that will make Carolina Beach even
more popular than ever.
The magnificent new steamer City OF
Fayetteville, which has been built at
Jacksonville, Fla, for the Fayetteville
and Wilmington Steamboat Company,
has been completed and is expected here
IN two weeks. She is an elegant ex-
cursion boat, and Captain Harper has
made arrangements with her to run to
the beach when she comes down from
her Fayetteville trips and lies over. She
will run to the beach when the steam
er Wilmington takes excursions out &c
sea. and the new steamer will also take
down many moonlight excursions dur
ing the season.
Altogether the outlook is good for q
boom at Carolina Beach this summer.
