-Oh, this intolerable wcathar, as somebody
sung or said, . , . ...
Ur ceD. though but a feather, la heavier than
lead." ' ,
Go 0(ing the roe eaxe ln h,B "New York
Jo Pot Days,' and to may the scribe sing
who Jcrke the quill this morning at Long
Branch. Last night it was cold, with, a
fresh breeze from the eft; M mvng
it la warm and clear, with a gentle, insinu
ating sort of an air airect from the glittering
sands of Jersey. To vary the scene, and if pos
sible make everything more disagreeable, old
Sol occasionally steals forth from behind the
fleeting clouds, and reflects his brazen face upon
the placid bosom of old ocean, dazzling the eyes
of the sight seer, and compelling the promc
aadcrs to seek the shade. But what of that?
This is Long Branch; it is fashionable; therefore,
we are ln duty bound, according to the rules of
Je bon ton, to smile, congratulate our friends
upon their "improved" appearance since they
feave rpent a day at the Branch, or leave for
ore congenial quarters. It may be that I'm
fastidious this morning. A close room of a
warm day certainly does not have a tendency to
make one very agreeable, but as I have many
things to speak of, which partake somewhat of
all the different phases of waterine-place life, I
shall endeavor to accommodate myself to cir
etances. General Grant, ln the past few weeks, has ac
complished a multiplicity of great things which
excite the admiration of the civilized world.
Bis last step into the War Bureau was a feat in
its way, but his sojourning for a few days at
Long Branch was a matter of no small moment
to the fashionable world, although a mere
wiatter of pleasure to the General. Lonor
Brunch of three years ago is the same Long
Branch to day, so far as the scenery and drives
and comforts are concerned, and yet there is a
radical chance In the society. It was always
highly respectable, but in years gone by there
was an easiness, amounting almost to negli
gence, which made things agreeable to those
who sought the sea-side for comfort, which has
now entirely vanished, and been supplanted by
form and fashion. In fact, wc are destined to
be, if not already, the successful rival of New
port and Saratoga. "Uood morning, Jones,"
ays Mr. Fitzbizen, "When did you eet in?"
"I au wived this evening," answer the ex
quisite Fitz.
"Why, I thought you'd gone to.the Springs"
says Jones.
"An, yes," answers Fitz, with a twirl of bi9
moustache, "so I did, but it's so confounded
etuDid thau. Thau's nobody thau but the
JdcFlimseys and a few otuau good tamilleg of
oar set; so I thought I'd run down beau; con
found it, I caunt see what's the reason General
Grant couldn't stop up there, anyhow."
This is no Idle talk or matter ot imaeination;
the conversation (omitrtug names) took place
laat evening on the verandah of the Stetson
liouee, within my hearing. I have endeavored
to give the language, with all of its peculiarities,
simply as a reflex oi the ideaB and style of our
'visitors. If it should occur, and it sometimes
does, that a lady sang an air iu the parlor ot the
hotel, you are sure to hear it done up in the most
limpid French or Italian. English, in song, is
entirely ignored, and a conglomeration of
sounds, interspersed with frills, quavers, and
demi-semi-quavers, are shrieked out upon the
air in such a manner as to defy its identity by
the most acute and sensitive ear. It is left to
you to ask the title of the piece, if you have a
desire to know what and where the music was.
This of course refers strictly and only to that
class of individuals who visit watering places
with the sole idea of being seen, heard, and in
quired after. To say the least of this matter,
it would be unfortunate if we were compelled
to see and hear these moths of society all the
time, but a kind Providence has so arranged it
that they become tired in time, and then those
who enjoy the solids of this lite have their little
honrs of recreation.
We have manners and customs here which,
although aulte similar to other places of like
character, are nevertheless a little peculiar. It
reminds me of first class hotel life in New Or
leans. American citizens of African descent
are the instruments through which most of the
'kind offices" are performed. When I sav that
they are up to their business, I mean that they
know how to turn an honest penny. They are
Tery "loud" in their manners, which is our new
coined word for "style," and they do not forget
to make the innocent guests ot the hotel pay
for the temporary enjoyments, ror instance,
won an? lodged in room 9U9. "The best we can
do for vou. sir." and upon retiring to your
room tired and weary, you find your pitcher
empty, and everything generally in contusion.
There is no bell; you descend from your sky
parlor and walk half a square to the office,
enter complaint, and with a bow you are again
escorted to your room. John (all hotel servant
are John) frisks about, and at tbe end of an half
hour you are nxea. 1 saio. vou are nxea; wen, in
in that I was right, but John still hovers round
about vou. doing a thousand things that don't
want doing, and you wonder if John don't want
to be fixed too. Klip a small sum into his hand
and with a leer, which fluctuates between irony
and sarcasm, he asks you it you want anything
else; fee him handsomely, and a bright and
benignant smile will overspread bis countenance
in a moment, and with a bow he quits the room,
with an ease and grace which speaks profound
respect. Of course the old stagers, soon free
themselves from these petty annoyances, but
the newly-Hedged suffer, and become disgusted
with a matter mat has become one ot the essen
tials of hotel life; and so we go. Hundreds
leave us In tbe morntnsr, whose places are eagerly
snatched up by thoee in waiting, or the throng
pours from the depot upon the arrival of the
trains. We have people from almost everv State
in the Union, and the tide is, seemingly, never
ceasing, xne preponderance ot our poptila
tion is. however, from New York, but
there are also quite a number of I'hila-
delphians at the diHereut hotels, in passant, it
la worthr of remark tha'ltiiere is such a marked
difference between the people from these two
cities, that stronirers to each notice it. Here
New York with all its fashion; I may add.
folly. It is "loud" in the extreme, and it will
sutler all tbe pains and torture that flesh is heir
tn tn keen un the splendor. We look at it, and
wonder how human nature can so far give way
, oanitT and show. It excites our attention.
but is soon forgotten. Philadelphia i "loud"
nn.ih There is an air of ease, grace, and ele
without attempt at show, about everv
thing which halls from the Quaker City, that
makes it enviable. But ail are grand, and ele
gance is the rule, not the exception.
There is but little variation in the hotel life at
watcrine-plaees generally, and this place is no
exception to the rule. We have a set programme
r '.h,., ih P.prv dav. First we cet up.
it eenerally occupies about three hours for all
rIm and eo tbrouirh break-
faht. Next we wander on thelbeach, drive, or
copy the time as best suits our fane y until
. l" r when we take a bath. Those
who do not w.;h' to bathe And the hour well
spent in listening to the tine bands which are at
tached to the different hotel, and which play
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY,
morning, noon, and night After the bathing
hour the ladies dress for dinner, and tho gentle
mm occupy themselves with their letters or ta
trading the morning papers. At about two the
dining-room is thrown open, and then romee toe
grand rush and dash for dinner. If yon are
posted, yen fare yery well, but 11. nffrt1unt1yt
yon see proper to place yourself in tbe hands i oi
one of the servants (unless be is an exception),
the chances are that one-half ot your orders
will' be answered with the terse expression,
Ttiereappears to be no other alternative than
to bear it with Christian fortitude, price $160
per day. The more indignant you are the less
are your chances for a successlul attack on the
bill tf fare. A couple of well-known Philadel
phia merrbants, one in the saddlery hardware
business, tie other a wholesale grocer, excited
my risibilities a day or two since by their per
sistency and forbearance. After one hour and a
quarter ut tbe table, their patience was gra
ciouply rewnrded by a cold snack. They have
left the Branch in disgust, with a hope to do
better at Lake Georere.
Dinner over, those who are not the happy
possessors of their own establishments do the
handsome thing by paying two dollars an hour
for a team, and away they go for a ride. But
now comes a couple of hours which are a little
troublesome to those who have nothing to do,
and do not wi -h to sleep. I have noticed that
eowe of the ladies and gentlemen wander upon
the beach, and
''Pick up shells that lay at their feet;"
While others indulge in the primitive sport of
making sand pies and pebble dumplings. At last
the two troublesome hours are parsed, and then
we dross aj'ain. The bands take their accus
tomed places on the lawn in front of the hotel,
and as the sun gradually sinks below the horizon
we see one ot the grandest features of the day.
For miles along the bench extends a wide
gravel road, as level as a floor. Facing it are
the hotels and cottages, whilo at the rear, ma
jestic old ocean, dotted with its scores of sailing
and steam ships, rolls up and lashes the gravelly
strand. In a lew moments the drive, which, an
hour before, has been almost deserted, is a
ecene of animated lite and confusion, which pen
and paper are inadequate to describe in a man
ner fitting to the occasion. Bockaways, cabrio
lets, phaetons, and trotting wagons, in endless
variety, treighted with the most eleeantly attired
laoles and gentlemen, and drawn by tbe
most beautiful and dashing horses, skim
the road. Now parses the diminutive pony,
whose ambling pace stands in striking com
parison with the magnificent stud ol trotters
which follow him. Here is Mr. P., of New
York, driving hia blacks, firm in hand, darting
along like wind, and there is Mr. P., ot Phila
delphia, who knows all about harness, being in
tbe business, with his tiry greys prancing and
dancing as though bidding lor admiration.
They get it. But look, here comes Mbs V.,
of Cincinnati; she draws her pair with a mas
terly nana, ana guides them along through tbe
maze ol vehicles in a manner wuich betokens
that she understands her business. No comes
a bevy of ladies aud gentlemen on horseback;
we recognize them asthe F. F.'s of the Quaker
City. Tbey are followed in tu n by hundreds of
others; and ao it goes until the drapery of night
settles down upon the earth, and preclude the
possibility oi further enjoyment upon the road
without danger.
ui course there are many who find more
amusement in looking on than they do in par
ticipation. Tbey loll upon the veraudahs, aud
applaud their favorite teams, and minutely in
spect and consider the relative merits ot the
passing teams. Others with whom these scenes
have become commonplace, resort the
billiard room, the bowling alley, or pistol
gauery, ana mere inuuiee in their lavorite
sport. There seems to be only one matter of
consequence to all, and thug is, how to pane the
tine, xno lames luauige in most ot tne sports,
and some of them are quite as proficient with
the cue and rine as their sterner companions.
The elegant Miss Jackson, of Chicago, is the
crack shot of the "Continental," if not of the
Branch, she rings the bell five times out of
seven on an average, at sixty feet, which is hard
to beat.
Gradually tbe loiterers on the road and beach
find their way to the hotel, and alter dressing
and Bupper are over tbe hop commences in the
parlor, and while this is going ou ln the parlor,
the swains steal forth to breathe their tender
passion to their Dulclneaa. The wide in
footpath at the edge of the bluff is a favorite
resort, and here at least is democracy. Jehu
has put bis norses away, til Jay has lulled the
children to sleep, Pomp has served his last
meal, and Dinah has finished her last lot of
cloihes. Here tbey congregate aiter the labors
of the dav are over, and sip the sweet nectar
from the abundant store of pouting lips. Adonis,
too, here finds his sweetheart, and Cupid holds
court in me summer nouses, mere is love ana
love-making, and high and low enjoy the privi
lege, while old ocean roars and tumbles ou the
bench like an ogre angered at the scene of peace
and happiness which he neither comprehends
nor enjoys.
There are nearly, it not quite, ten thousand
visitors here. The hotels are tilled to overflow
ing, and one is foitunato to secure a nook
wherein he can stretch his limbs. Probably
one-half ot all these visitors are ladies, but out
of all I have yet to see more than half a dozen
really beautiful women. There seems to be a
singular dearth or beauty, and a gorgeous sup
ply of ugliness. I draw my conclusions from a
tour through the hotels at different hours during
tne day time. At night cosmetics, store hair,
and what not. add greatly to the appearance of
tbe fair creatures, but with all they tail to come
up to tbe usual standard. The reason why I am
at a loss to conceive.
But I have already exceeded my limits. With
a few words in regard to one of the most heart
rending affairs, 1 will close. Header, did you
ever make a trip over the jttaritan ana Delaware
Bay Railroad t If you never have, I pray you,
as you love your life and your friends, do not
attempt it, lest you never see friends or home
again. It is a swindle of gigantic proportions,
and an institution which the Legislature of New
Jersey should indict as a nuisance. Let me pic
ture a trip, in few words, from Philadelphia to
Long Branch. You climb over innumerable
buckets of truck, fish, etc., to the ticket office,
and after securing your ticket, and running the
risk of ruining your clothes by coming in con
tact with sundry cart-wheels and Ash baskets,
you find yourself on the boat. In the course ot
a half hour you are over the river, and en
sconced in one of tbe filthiest of cars. Directly
J on start. Slam, bang goes the train with a
etk; aud now commences a scene rivalling John
Gilpin's ride on horseback. Slam goes the tram,
and whack goes your head against the aide of
the car. Sfou still live, however, ani
"Onward we go, la mingled hope and pain."
Five miles are parsed, and we stop until a
train passes. Ob, how agreeable it is, with the
thermometer among the uiucties ! Ten minutes
more and we're off' again.
"Boy, come jump on," 6ays a passenger to an
urcbiu by the roadside.
"Can't do it; I'm in a hurry," and that boy
leaves us. A few miles further, and again we
stop; another train pusses us, and thus we go for
forty-five miles, through lour hours of heart
rending and appalling speculations. At length
the Long Branch junction is reached; here we
drill up and down, to and fro, until a few more
trains pass up, and at lenirth we are on our road
to the sea. Aud this is the express train I
Heaven send the title, and deliver all safe, and
tu tbe tame youth in which they started, at the
end of the route. W. M. It.
