Indications fOlnt to a Large and

vile.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
The signs of early summer, and
the increasing popularity of
Wrightsville Beach, admonish
one on every hand that the
Beach Season" is almost here,
and every mind is turning to the
question as to where the next
vacation shall be spent. Natural
ly, and as a ready answer, with
those who have spent previous
delightful visits at Wrightsville
Beach, this resort presents itself
first to the fancy of those con-
sidering the matter of vacations,
and already the management of
hotels have received applications
sufficient to insure an unusually
large season at the Beach. The
Seashore Hotel will be under the
management of that most genial
and considerate of hotel propri-
etors, which is sufficient assur-
ance to all patrons of the past of
an enjoyable stay during the ap-
preaching season. The Seashore
Hotel has been greatly improved,
in the addition of ladies' parlors,
handsomely fitted up in green;
bachelor quarters, reading room
and library, improved barber
shops and lavatories, and the in
stallation of baths in fourteen of
the best rooms, and the service
will be of the highest class. The
Seashore will be the Mecca for a
number of conventions this year,
chief among which are, first, the
annual meeting of the Atlantic
Coast Line surgeons, the South
Carolina Bankers Convention,
which will be largely social in the
attendance of a number of the
wives and families of members;
the Manufacturers Association,
the North Carolina Architectural
Association, and the North Car
DINA Veterinary Association, all
OF which convene for three days
sessions, during the month of
June. In July there will be an
Interstate trap shoot, which
will attract many sportsmen.
'Lumina', the handsome pa
vlllon of the Power Company,
has been greatly enlarged for
the approaching season, there
having been an additional sew
enty feet added to the already
spacious ballroom, giving a
floor space of 12O #. by SO it.,
with a verander 200 feet in
length, surrounding the entire
building. Fourteen large electric
lights are placed in the ceiling of
the ballroom, and a ten piece
orchestra will also be converted
into brass band when the &C.
caslon demands, and a forty-foot
sounding board has been INSTALL
ed for the purpose of waiting
the sweet strains of the alluring
Waltzes and two-steps to the
tuthermost corners of the pa
vllion, making 'Lumina" the
most attractive and popular pa
vllion of it's kind on the South
Atlantic coast. The Tide Water
Power Company has arranged a
number ofspecial dances, many of
which will be spectacularly beau
tlful, chief among which will be
mentioned the Japanese dance.
June. 9Th, and the Dance of Ali
Nations, June 18th.
The regattas to be held at the
Beach this summer are also at
tracing the attention of all per-
sonslnterested in sporting events,
members of the Carolina Yacht
Club having recently purchased
ten OF the most beautiful little
yachts for racing purposes, in
addition to which a number of
canoe races, to be held in the
surf, have been arranged for an
early date. Medley races, foot
races, rowing races and many
other like contests will be held, |
and every indication points, not
merely to a large and successful
season at Wrightsville, but one
replete with pleasure and amuse-
ment, from the first day of the
opening until the chill breezes of
September announce the close
of the season.
