BOWERS.

This isths gaia week OF the season at Bowers.
Before tais issue or the Chronicle is IN the
rards of its many readers, Big Thursday" OF
this year Will have become thing 9fthe past.
Sudics 70 say that the resort never had as
many persons who are soiOurning here as at
the present. The cottages are all hlled and
some Of them, to use the oft expression, are
running Over-some OF the cottages containing
as many as tweaty-oDe persons. The hotels
aud public boardin g-hOuses are taxed for room,
and many more seeking accOmm odations for
Tolm and board later on. The beach front,
both In the town limits and over IN south
Bowers. presents an appearance ike military
eneampment Of canvass tents, and for at least
( half-mile from the mouth Of Murderkill River
up, 1t is literally taken up with naptha launches
and excursion boats. What Il will be before
the week is past remains to be seen.
We do not believe that we are presumptuous
IN saying that we have had, and are having,
the best class OF people with us this season that
we have ever had during any previous season.
They are more quiet anj digniied, better order
has prevailed and very common remark
with those who have visited US in former sea
sons is that there has been marked improve
ment In the morals ana conduct Of the great
multitude Of people that have sojOurned and
visited US this season.
Another feature In the matter OF sojourners
at the resort this season is that we are having
more Of our Delaware people, who have rented
cottages and are at present occupying them'
than at any season before. People livlHg near
here, and some even twenty or thirty miles
distant. have rented cottages for one or two
weeks. and stay with US as well as the city peo-
pie and others from distant States.
The outlook for greater Improvements are
very gratifying at the present. The demand
for cottages is 30 great that many will be built
before another season opens for renting Pur-
poses beside those who haye building lots
for cottages have sold or leased from fifteen to
twenty lots to parties to build thereon. We
are assured that the building boom Of the re-
sort is only in its infancy.
At present there is here one OF the most
prominent social clubs that comes to this
place, occupying two large cottages that are
contiguous to each other the "Miona' and
the "Ivanhoe," located on the Murderkill
River front. They represent the "Deer Nee
Club, an organization OF prominent young
ladies and gentlemen of the States OF New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Della
ware This organization had its incipiency
few years ago and originated among few
young people around and In Canterbury OF /
this county and for the purpose Of having an
outing Of ten days or two weeks but II has
grown into considerable magnitude and is COM Z
posed Of from thirty to forty prominent young /
people. They are under the chaperonage OF
Mrs. Frank Tumlin OF Pennington. Caleb [
Burchenal, Esq. one OF the party, is promis-
