From Our Own Correepondent. New Yorr, Aug. 2—Coney Island ie not what it once was, but vastly improved. This main escape-valye of the metropolis, properly so-called by reason of its numerous steam-ron- nections, has felt the hand of enterprise. Many who used to visit the place would not know it now; and one of the best changes is, that many who used to visit the place do not know it now. ‘The advance asto buildings and conveniences has not been more markedt han as to respectability. This applius in no way to the extreme west end of the island. where the excursion steamers land. Here. a mile or so of beach bas been given over to the lowest classes of the city, whose worst. and vilest cbaracters have from time ont of mind infested it, and so infested it as even to make the sea sick. Strangely cnouch, these persons show little disposition to roam beyond this limit. They have their West End Hotel, the same as the tres haut ton at Long Branch; their “Pavillion,” whose sign is as reciless in orthography as the house is in style; their beer- gardens and cheap bathing-suits, The sand is as fine and clinging, the water as healthily salted as it is further east, while the company is Gecidedly more congenial. Why, then, should the Artful Dodger or Richard Swiveller of the town care to enter other society, save oc- casionially, to indulge his penchant for other peopix's pockets, or try the effect of his brandy- and-watery eyes and Paris diamond upon girls of quality? And if be does louvge about the better quarter, ten to oue he is more circumspect and less indecent in his ogling than half the young men ef infinitely different social grade who surround nim. Ihad rather have my pocket picked by ube one than have the company of the other; but that, perhaps, is partly because I don’t carry anything in my pocket. THE NOMENCLATURE OF CONEY ISLAND has not kept pAce with its progress as a bathing resort. If you wish to go to the irredeemable weet end, that is designated by “ Murray & Norton's,” because these persons happen to be proprietors of the chief saloon in that delecta- ble section. If bound for respectability, you are en route for “ Cabie’s,”? M. Cable being the host of what was till this summer the only gen- tieman and lady’s hotel on the beach, while even Cable’s was not free from many objectionable features. It is at Cuble’s, midway between the west end ard Mahattau Beach, that the growth has been most notable.: Their growth iucludes two or three hotels, a mammoth beer-garden and dance-Lall, a score of seaside retreats, and tw: lines. of railroad, largely increasing the facil ties for getting to and fro from Brooxlyn. Ca- bie’s retains that supremacy which belongs to the oldest occupant of the ground till farly beaten out of it by superior rivals. It also re- taivs a scale of prices uot warranted by the quality of its resources, and a scale which the majority of those who crowd to the beach can- not rise to. While this keeps it above acom- amon resort, aud is intentional, it does not pre- vent its being a resort for fast men and women, whose lack is not of money. It is not much ofa pity that Coney Island should be avoided by the upper ten: but itisa pity that a beach so accessible to those of mod- trate means,so qualified to yield health and enjoyment, should bave fallen into such ill-re- pute, aud baye been so much surrenderea to, joose characters. As it is now, worthy peovle amey saiely visit Cable’s and the region there- abouts on any days except Saturday and Sun- day. So far as being insulted or robbed are concerned, worthy people may visit there any time. I hardly think, however, that a gentle- man would be found repeating a Sunday trip Uuither with his wife, no matter how oppressive air was in town, DEMIMONDE AND THEIR ATTENDANT SPORTS AND LOAFERS co not make an agreeable company to get caughtin. Though considerable has been done to raise the moral toxe of this part of the tand, much has still to be accomplished before the piace will be what it is destined to become, tue summer bathing resort of the middle classes of New York, cqually reputable with auy bath- ing resort while not equally expensive or fash- jonabie. The scene at Cable's, especially at evening, is an exceedingly attractive one. Instead of standing out almost alone, with a marsh be- tween it and the occan, the house is now the centre of a group of next and tasteful edifices. The marsh bas been filled in and transformed ‘into an embryo park. Gruyeled avenues Yead to the beach, and a large danc- ing platform, with pagoda box for the band, ecrves either for the waltz or promenade. ‘The largest of the new buildings is the Avlan- tic beer-garden, an establisument whose second floor fs for ball-room purposes, and capacious cuough to accommodate a thousand couples. Down stairs is so much of a “ garden” as the ingenious German mind can invent out of a vast boarded area, with plain posts fur trees, deal tables for shrubbery, and foaming laser beer tor Mowers. If little ot intoxicatiun, there must. be much of imagination iu beer, that * mild, luxurious. and artiul beverage.” What- ever there is in it, an immense quantity of it is sold on Coney Island. The Atlantic is but one of at least fifty places for its sale, and mauy of ‘these large, as all are prosperous. SEA-BATIING has a singularly avpetizing ‘effect, and the restaurateurs find that nothing satisties like beer after salt-water. The latter cannot be said to be a popular drink, but us the bathers are obliged to take more or less of it, the claim that itis highly medicinal is put forth in its favor. dt belongs to that distinguished class of med. icines which make you worse in order 10 make You better. dmmeuately west of Cable’s Hotel workmen are putting together one of the ouildings Drought trom the Centennial grounds. ‘This is to be a sort of erystal palace depot and hotel, combined, and will'make the most showy struct: ure in the place. The crounds in tront and Year are spacious, and to be neatly laid out... So that next summer Cable's will have a more formidavle rival than any yet. ‘This. new Lou-e 15 to be amony the attempts to purity the moral atmosphere, as every etfort will be made_to keep objectionable parties away from it. The idea ot having the tatlroad trains rup under the hotel roof is but a step in advance of what M. Cable has tong en- joved. The depot of the Coney Island and Pros: Park line is really a wing to his house. it of the Bath dummy line iseet back to back acainst what mey be called aonc-third boarding- buuse and two-thirds saloon. The Indians at Saratoga and Niagara are nota particle ahead o: the Coney-Islanders in disposing. of salabie foods so that the visitor will have everr induce- mentto buy. Aside from the legitimate trade, a large business is done by the keepers of Fates, vall-throwing reserves, shootiug-galle- ries, aud the like. Tbe beach presents A SUCCESSION OF CHEAP ATTRACTIONS, well calculated to draw in the thousands of Jaborers wito take their families out for an air- ing and are bound to do and sce all that is to be done or scen;‘not jess to cuarm the shop and servant girls, who are accompanied by ready Youth. There are numerous teut shows, in- cluding the Great American Museum with its mammoth pig; ever moving panoramas and marvelous sterescopic views at butadimne a head; rope-untying and strength-displayiny: jugglers, who will eat hammers or do almost Anything requested after they have collected half-dotlar from the crowd;.all sorts of absurd perfurmances hold the boards, or the beach rather. Coney Island knows no Sunday laws or re- strictious. Police trouble vot the inhabitants thereof, whether they fight or keep the peace. Beer sows as treely as thouch New York had never induiged in a liquor law, while all kinds of spirits are to be obtained with equal readi- Billiard-rooms do a rushing business. In short, there is much more of everything going onon Sunday than at any other time, because the numberof people is more than twice as preat. The four chief amusements with the general mob appear tv be bathing, drinking un- Himited ager, throwing. base-balls at wooden- headed and wooden-hodied * fizers,”? aud cat~ ing claws from the wagons which are so arranged as to give one the idea that they have just. been driven up frum some clam-depot under the sea with their fresh luad, THE RIVALRY AMONG THE SALOONS is simply intense. pily it is uot so danger- ous as that between two of the raiiroad lines whose tracks cross, and whose engineers ran their trains together last Sunday because each was dctermitied to pass the crossing first. One saloon sets upa minstrel show (Cotton save the smark!), with tour performers and a piano. If the salvon-keeper next door bad any sense, he might have come into a good custom from thuse who were only too glad to escape the musical agonies of the other place. But no, he must needs fo and sccure a company larger and woree, if possible: and uow. neither’ keever makes much, siuce two such combinations of talent within twenty yards of each other over- come even the man with uo carat all for har- mony.- Hiher-class saloons show the same rivalry in their Lands or orchestras. The wusie at the Atlantic Garden is fair, aud more than fair if vou hear it from the distant beach a3 you sit idling iv the sand and waiting fur the ‘moon, who keeps-rather late hours even for a goddess, to rise from her couch in thesca._ If the Hirting at Coney Island is-not so fastidious as at Lone Branch, there is vastly more of it. And if any one cannot see Where's the ‘arm in- it. Jet him loos around the misses. Talk of the stulen flected from glasses of spring water, ved in the ball-ruum or on Broadway, these go for nothing in comparison. and chngs to the victim likethe fine saud. ‘h the Coney Island towels are warranted not teremove. An English poet tried it and behold the result: In tie gloaming to be roaming, where the crested ‘waves are fouming, And the shy mermaidens combing locks that mpple to their feet; the zloaming is Inever made the ghost of n endeavor but whatever the hour, it would be te to roam beneath a ehady cliff, of course, with some young lady, Lalage, Newra, Msidee, or Elaine, or Mary Ann; Love, you dear delusive dream youl Very uvar your victims deem you, e When, heard only by the seamen, they talk all the. stuff one can. If vou hold that poets are unnecessarily susceptible and unquestionally unreliable, te: the thing once for yourself, either in the gioam- ing or by movulight. There are no bluffs to give Coney Island variety, but the beacn is excellent for bathing purposes. ‘There is no dangerous undertow, and the small number of accidents which hap- pen is a wonder when the thrones of bathers is considered. Ht is not at all uncommon tor from 20,000 to 40.000 people to visit the shore on Sunday, and the majority of these take to the water. There ure batting iouses without end, though not many really desirable ones. Suits can be had for a quarter, and in some parts of the west cud fora dime. ‘he bathing- house proprictors ure the meu who reap the Prolits. “Most of them refuse to become re- sponeibte for valuables, even if these are left in their charge, and the CASES OF ROBBERY ARE NUMEROUS. Last-week a Jewess lost $1,500 worth of dia- monds which she hid for. safety in her dress, and other heavy lJsses were reported. One noust either deposit valuables at the hotels, or leave them in town, which latter method is much pursued, but is out of the question, of course, fur a lady with diamonds. The most enjoyable way to reach Cable's, saye on the two days I have excepted, is by the littie steamers ich can be taken hourly from both the North and East River piers. These boats are to be avoided Saturdays and Sundays, both because they are patronized by the worst classes, and because they are overloaded so that the danger of acci- dent is everimminent. This overcrowding of excursion steamers has become so notorious, and trips like those to Rockaway. Beach are so full of chance, that the City Fathers have at. last aroused themselves, and propose to appoint inspectors whose only duty shall be to stop the embarkation whenever the proper quota allowed by license is reached. On landing at the west end, wagons with wide-tired wheels, made espe- cially to roll along over the lard sand, are in waiting to carry you to Cable’s. The excursion- jare on the bout is 40 or 50 cents, there being many rivals in this transportation ‘traffic as in everything else connected with the island. THE OVERLAND ROUTE oceupies more time, except for those who live in Brooklyn. The horse-car nde_to Prospect. Park takes nearly an hour from Fulton Ferry, aud the express-trains from tbat point. run to Cable's in a half hour more. There are now two of these rail-lnes, and a third will be in uperation next summer. ‘There is also an all- the-way horsc-ctr line, which has the sole at- traction of a i-cent fare, a3 against 25 by steam. Open cars are run on all trains, so that it is almost us breezy by train as by ‘steamer. ‘The staadard ‘Wwiticism perpe- trated on these lines is that they curve so continuously and curiously the engiucers never can tell which direction they are going till they reach one or the other of the termini. A new branch has just been completed to Manhattan Leach, 2 mile or two east from Cabdle’s, aud a point which promises to be the most desirable aud select. Here, aiso, the Centennial build. ings are represented in the hotel, which w: imported piece by piece from Philadelphia, and makes a Very. attractive resort. Aside from the public conveyances, the drive to the island isadelightiul one. ‘The roads have been put in tine condition, and ure shaded heavily nearly all the way. THE CAPITALISTS INTERESTED in the advance of Uoncy Islana to what it should be—the great watering-place ot Brooklyn put only, but a place of summer residences equal to those on the Jersey coast—hare done Very satisfactory work for one scason’s space. 1t_is tar easier to build hotels and houses than to build good reputation for them, and both must be done before goud people will be willing to lend the necessary aid, As it is, Coney Island is one of the yreat. allies of the Health Board in pres he city from disease and death, and improvements may be made in cértain loc 3 tending to shut out the poorer classes, there will always be beach enough for all who can get to it, and the ocean isno discriminator of persons. Hut ity in bathing costume is pretty much in appearance and equally wet by the impartial waves. Nor can one even grudge the worst character at the west end nis cleansing splash m the surf. That isa good motto on one of the bathing-houses there, “While we jive, let us live—clean,” aud underneath the practical illustration, “Flannel suits, 25 cents.” H.G. et Some Life-Insurance Methods, Laston Commercial Bulletin, Farber has a trained corps of operators for his New York companies, and here is a_sample of the way they go to work. Of course it would not do for Furker 10 appear personally in the “ freezm-vut,” so a corps of .wreskers are on hand to do it for him. . A small civar-dealer on Broadway, New York, 9 German, had a policy in the North American, the reserve on which amounted to.82,100. He was in consumption, and, it-was thought, would not live more than a Sweet ear. The wrecker, hearing of this, made anoffer to the German, through the solicitor wno origi- nally obtained the insurame, of 3800 for his licy. The solicitor, whe knew all the circum- Stunces, the poverty of the family, etc, re- peated the offer, but at the same time mad knowy to the German the real vajue of hi: policy and the villainous nature of the scheme of the insurance people, and strongly advised him not to accept the offer. The German saw the point, and told the solic itor to return with his rctusal. The wrecker asked his agent the nature of the cigar-dealer’s consumption, how far gone be was, etc., and finally told him to return with an otfer of $1,200 cast for the policy. The solicitor did as he was told. eave the Getman the same adviceas before, and brought back thesameanswer. “D—n him,” Said the wreck “go back and offer him $1,500, and if he retuses,it leave him. The Company is going into toe “Receiver'’s hands in less than four months, and if he doesn’t accept 31,500 now he will vet nothing then.” The sulicitor stated the case fully to the Ger- man, and advised him to accept the $1,500. But the latter bad now become thoroughly sus-' the whole business, und reiused to seil bis policy for any amount. In four months Lhe company failed, ‘The abuve facts are substantiated by the affidavit of the solicitor, He was at tae time, he says, utterly opposed to Furber’s wrecking operations, and only remained in the employ of the company because ut his commissions on re- newal premiums. A few weeks afterward he Jefe the company. ‘REAL ESTATE. Payments in the Real Estate Loan i Market Prompt. H n Satisfactory Amount of New Business Interest Rates Weak. Horleage Loans Offered in New York at 6, and at Philadelphia at 5 Per Cente Decrease in Sales of Property and in In- quiries—Some of the Principal Sales : of the Week, In the loan market the principal. feature in the past weck’s business was payments, and these ‘were very satisfactory, as showing the solvent condition of the borrowers, and bring- ing comfort to the hearts of agents in proving that they had not misplaced their confidence nor abused their principals’ trust. The agsre- gate ol new business transacted was also pleas- ant to.contemplate. There isa gradual wea ening in the rate of interest, and it seems now as though it must tumble toG per cent. This is not a favorable indication, but is rather a warn- ing that we bave not yet touched bottom in this real-cstute depression, Some New York parties have turown their money on the market this week dt 6 per cent, and some of our oldest agents think the rate will come to this before there is a rebound. A still weaker tendency is apparent in the loan indrket in Philadelphia.
