WHAT IT COSTS TO LIVE BY THE SURF. Hach Hotel Keeper Expecting that “Tuere Is Millions in It.” WAITING FOR AN AWFUL RUSH, A New Railroad Started and the Present Monop- oly To Be Broken Up (?). Lone Branen, June 26, 1875. “How is it,’ Lasked of an old New Yorker who Was slvting under the roof of one of taose smail summer houses which are dotted ail over the two miles of blud at Long Branch—‘How is tt that the season 1s so Very backward at this watering placer? The New Yorker, who comes to Long Branch every year more irom @ habit than from love of the plage, answered slowly between the vapory pulls of wis Reina Victoria:— 4 SHOW PLACE, “Well, there are a good many reasons, and as § do not want to be assassinated by the combined hotel Keepers, who are all known to me, | will be as caroful as possible in my statements, To begin with, the edge 18 worn off Long Branch. It isn’t as cew as it was, oud it lacks novelty. Five years Qo its success as @ watering place had reached tho maximum, But there ts not as much money going a8 there used to be, and for what you get here the prices are des- perately high.

Itis not like Dieppe, which cathedral for sentimental People to investigate and talk to each other about, It cannot compare with any of the great German watering p: like Carlsbad, Ems or Wildbad, where there is a cultivated amd refined society to be met with and where, if you cau’t talk well, play cards or dance, you have the privi- Jege of looking at a king, an emperor, some great statesman or a picturesque body of soldiery or peasantry in the colors of the rainbow. No king or emperor is likely to visit Long Branch, our Statesmen are mostly from the slums of New York and Brooxlyn, and for a sovereign we have only Grant, who locks himself up from all social intercourse excepting with the shoady people, Who have built up the Branoh. Scarborough, the Englisn Newport, is a delightful place to lounge in, and Long Branch ts no piace at all to lounge in.
