MESOKTS OX BOTH THE NORTH AXD SOUTH COASTS ARE
THRONGED WITH SUMMER VISITORS.
HORSE SHOWS ARE A POPULAR FEATUREiTIIIS SEASON.
The season which Is now at its height Is one
of. the most satisfactory In the history of the
Ix»ns; Island summer resorts. The number of
pleasure seekers has been at least as large as
In any former year. The social features have
been more numerous than ever before, and there
has been an mount of visiting among the
guests at different places heretofore unknown.
BABYLON.
This Is the beat season Babylon has enjoyed in
five years. The hotels are full to overflowing, every
vxtttage for rent at the commencement of the
weapon has been taken, the owners of summer
Iwan li in the village and its vicinity are nearly all
lier<*. and, above all else, there 1* riot an undi
¦j-iraWe family in the whole summer population. The
«jnl}- thing lacking- is the failure of the Argyle to
..pen its di«>rs, and the business men with one ac
«ord hope that Evelyn H. Baldwin, the arctic cx
rlorer. will discover and bring safely to Brooklyn
the coveted North Pole before another summer. In
exj&ainlna; the failure of the Areyle to open, the
iiativ< Babylonians shake their heads sadly and
nay: '"The proprietor, Baldwin's hacker, was so
buh-y preparing to fird the arctic clothesstick
Ihat he forgot all about the hotel." Bueh is the
I Babylonian opinion of :.¦¦:• Baldwin polar

Tho cottages near Blue Point are all occupied
by excellent tenants, and the hotel has the usual
number of guests. Driving and wheeling over the
fine shell road to Patehogue, Sayvllle and Oakdale
were never more popular.
PATCHOGUE.
One of the most satisfactory seasons In the his

craft, while the roads and cycle, pat h«. are thronged
with vehicles. The snort of the locomobile has this
season become as familiar an was the "tinkle of

turning point for the century runs of metropolitan

there l»* a Steady stream of traftl ¦ along the high
way that Is In the main more satisfactory.
There is more sociability among the summer resi

Stamford. M, V.. Aug. 21 (Special).— Never befor
were there so many visitors in the Catskllla* a*
now. ilvery house in every section is fun, and
such a thing as a vacant room of any kind la
hard to find in any locality. This is especial^
true in this favored village, which has never before
had such a rush of summer business. People coma
here and hay • to search for hours to rind accom
modations, and some have been obliged to go ] ae 3
where.
The three large Churchill resorts have nearly fl T6
hundred guests. The Rexmere. designed to ac
commodate 123, has 140 guests, and Manager Jen
kins say.-, they could have bad 3BQ through August
if they had the rooms. Thus ihat rather expen
sive resort for Stamford la no longer an experi
ment. People are willing to pay for private baths,
fine fittings and extra service. Every house in the,
village is filled, and rooms In private houses that
can be rented are all occupied.
The great society function of the week in th»
Catskills was given by Mrs. F. m. Barr on Thurs
day night, at the Chateau de Navarre, Stamford.
The entertainment was a f£te champe'tre, musical
and dance, and there were over one hundred in
vitations sent out. it proved one of the moat
brilliant and notable events of the season in the
range. There were over thr-e thousand light*
used la the illumination. The affair was given la
honor of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. 1.. T.>rri. . of Xew-
York. Mrs. Torriar.i Is a sister of Mrs. Brevoort
Bristol Barr.
The musical programme closed with the Virginia
reel. Refreshments were served on the lawn and
,i well filled punch bowl stood In the casino. Th»
floral decorations were from ike adjoining forest
and the German garden of the chateau. Among
the guests from New- York. Boston, Philadelphia.
South Carolina and other points were Mr. and Mrs.
F. E. L. Torrianl. Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Barr, Carlo

)e buyers, and he will build at once.
The b.-ill at the I;, ami •¦ Saturday night was a
brilliant spectacle, much enjoyed, marrrtl only by
the rainy evening, which kept some guests away.
The wreck of the coal train on the Ulster and
Delaware Sunday night detained the popular New-
York tin known as the "husbands' train" over
four hours at Mount Pleasant. The six hundred or
more passengers, many of them having had no
supper, spent the time in jolly impatience, and
they had anally to be transferred around ta»
wreck, as the track could not be cleared. It was
a weird scene under the doleful strains of that
noisy symphony of katydids, with a drizzling rain
falling through the midnight gloom there on tisa
bank of the xurgling Esopus Creek: each weary
traveller lugging his own baggage, picking his way
through the mud by the dim light of an occasional
torch, all on an empty stomach, as the scanty
larders of Mount Pleasant were soon depleted, and
not a vacant room could be had in the vicinity.
After the telegraph wires were restored the
wrecking train was dispatched from Rondout, and
also the new transfer train, with, commeudabiu
aseed.
Trains on this line are row making excellent
running time under the unusually heavy trafllo
conditions which prevail, and the season la likely to
prove one of, the most successful in the history of
the road.
The Greene County part of the range reports sins
il;ir conditions of activity and summer llf». The-
Kaaler*kill. Hall Falls, the various parks. Moun
tain House. Cairo, PaJenville, CaiskilU .ill are
tilled with visitors as never bet »re, and a con
tlnr.ance of good business well into September is
confidently looked for.
The Hotel Kaaterskill presents a scene rot «a
nk- the palmy days, of the Paige management,
when every room of the great resort was occupied
and the music hall was filled with cots. Th? house
will probably remain open until September 10.
The Mountain House is still enjoying phenomenal
business. The Antlers, at Halnes Kails, had an
enjoyable musical on Monday evening, under toe
direction of Mr. Tar-,'ett. All the parks in that
charming vicinity are rilled with residents and
guests, and lifi is now at tfc» best there.
