The beat of tba city drove hundreds to the seashore resorts last week, and Pea Isle got its share ol visitors, judging from the number of people aean on the boardwalk, and all the amusement places were over crowded. On Saturday evening especially was il the banner night so tar this season. Marine Place was congested at times, especially around the music pavilion, wbire many congregated to listen to the band, and this place has been the moat popular part ever since the concerts began. Tha protnenad era Increase every day. sod the holiday weak has attracted a larger crowd than ever, and much varied amusement waa found for ovary minute of the day during the four day’s celebration, and which will terminate tiiis evening witii a grand display of fire works, seldom seen at any seubore resort.

tre, and it will continue open cntil the middle of September, when practically the season is at an end. On last Sunday morning, people who were early protnenadere on the boardwalk aaw a ship come in dose to the shore and drop anchor at the upper end'of Sea lale. It was the subject of much conjecture, ••specially when a crew put out from it in a row boat and ent ashore. It proved to be a Government supply ship and left stores for the keeper of the Ligbt House. After diepoaing of tbeir email ex. go, they want-buck to the ship, and in a ehort time they were disappearing towards the horizon. The bathing is more popnlar than rer aa the eea*on advance*, and one reason is that the water ha* t tremely warm the last few days. Many are eeen in every day, and on last Saturday and Sunday dining the intense beat that Sea Isle experienced, the beach was filled with them and tbeir connteaancee expressed the great pleasure afforded by a dip in the “briaeT." The heavy undertow and strong eorrenle, an aftermath of the north east storm as responsible for many ciraaltiaa, and caused the life guard* to be on the

Smiles gre seen on the faces of the fishermen wbo atilt continue to find pleasure out on the extension, for they have actually bad some bites. During the Week good catches hare been made, and it looks as though the good old fishing days were coming back, when the baskets were well filled and the reels rang a merry tune aa the line was oast out. Flounder* ol gooa size and other varieties have made their appearance, and several who have been out all day, have been rewarded with large catches, but they are etill choice a* to the mattei of bait, but as the enthusiasts are always equipped with every kind of tempting monels, it i. not the (salt of fishe: mas if be has bad no success in lending any; that is merely called bad tuck out on the end ol the pier, and i no reflection on the abilities of the sportsman, no matter bow good or bad be may be, lo. it baa been proved that the amateur fisherman will lard as many as tbe professional, II h* has Unright kind of material to entice th- m to his line. Brt it will be the average fiaherman’e lock for ibe flab to come back in the large quantities like th-y did before the summer season began and the crowd* began to collect on tbe exten- , when the season is over for Uiem and he must needs get back to bis work and bear ol others getting large etrinp, when lie spent all summer catching a w sardines. The recent notice calling attention to the ordibanct prohibiting batiter* promenading on the boardwalk, had its t for a short time, as many are teen everyday who have never read It, or are totally ignoring the order.
