BOWERS.

The season is in full swing at Bowers,
and every cottage is occupied. The de-
mand for cottages was never so great as
this season, and the supply could not
meet il for the month of August. There
are a great many cottages To be rented by
the owners early in the season, but they
are taken bv those who are in the habit
of coming here year after year, at the
close Of each season so that now many
are buving outright or leasing sites and
building on them. They use the couages
part of the season and rent them for the
balance, and so find their investment pro-
ftable. Double the number OF cottages
on the shore could be rented at ONE. II
thev were ready for occupancy now, ana
nearly all inquireys are from people from
a distance, who have been here IN pre-
vious seasons, and desire to return to pass
the vacation. 1t will be good policy Tor
owners Of real estate to build rentable
cottages before next season. The more
hotels and boarding houses here, the more
people will come. The three hotels here
and one in South Bowers, with the board
ing houses. are taxed to take care OF all
who come, and during August they VIII
be crowded.
A party of jolly Jersey farmers passed
Saturday and Sunday here. They came
in market boat used by them to run
their produce to the city, and they en-
loved every hour of their stay. On leav-
ing they promised to return tor another
outing in Delaware.

The Harrington Sunday School of the
Holiness Mission Church, was on Tues
day last on its annual outing, and had
delightful time. This is one of the larg-
est Sunday Schools that come here, or IN
the county. At 3 p. NJ. an innovation
was made in the pleasures. Instead OF
the fun and froliC characteristic OF such
occasion, the members of the school,
both young and old, gathered on the
boardwalk in front of the Beach Hotel,
in the grove. The places of amusement
were hushed for the time, and every
thing pat on a religious tone. Then one
of the leaders announced that the hour
wonld be devoted to prayer praise and
song service. Mrs. Carpenter, the head
Of the Holiness Church at Harrington,
conducted the exercises, and delivered a
most excellent address. She was followed
by others OF the same church, and the
singing was excellent, full of spirit, and
the public participated. 1t was an inn
pressive scene, and we hope that they
will come again before the season ends.
