BOWERS.

Farmers Day, " which is known and
observed at this resort, occurs on the
third Thursday of August, and therefore
will have come and gone before this letter
is read; but almost as much preparation
il made for this day as is made for "Bie
Thursday. The makeup of the crowd
here is totally different on 90 Farmers
Day. Then the farmers with their fami-
lies, and those who prefer quietness'
rather than the push af the crowds, come
here and engage in general conversation
ana suggestions as to their agricultural,
or fruit growing interests. For the rea'
son that they meet in social intercourse,
a great many prefer the third Thursday
for their day by the sea. Big Thursday
of this year was a great day in the history
4 of Bowers Beach. The largest crowd OF
people that ever assembled here, being
variously estimated at from six to twelve
thousand, was present during the day.
Peace and good order prevailed all day,
except little mixup near sunset; when
the beligerents got the worst of the dis
turbance, thanks to our courageous Off
GERS who discharged their duties we'll.
