cents for the whole distance, out like the
New York “L” roads, a short ride costa
just as much as a long one. I overheard
a young man arguing with a hack runri the
other day about bis bill. The price
seemed a little steep until the hackman
explained why he charged so much.
“My carriages all come from New
York aid he. “and before 1 can run
them I have to pay #17 for a license for
each one. This fa the tax paid to the
town for three month bitsines-. In New

trial l,o the hundreds to whom Long
Branch was a delightful place to bring
their horses. It is till, however, an
agreeable, drive from Seabright to Elbe
ron, and even further up and down the
coast.
The Long Branch stage i one of tie
most ineonveniei)'. vehicles on earth, but
it is etieap and therefor' - popular with
Branch.” The hackman depends largely
on the custom of transient visitors. Near¬
ly all of the permanent guests at the
hotels and the cottage* bring their own
equiiaiges. ( noticed the other day on
the avenue quite a number of well-known
people behind their own horse:-.
Not to mention the Barones- Blanc
when writing about tie- driving on the
a venue would be leaving out one of tho
best known whips at the Branch. The
Baroness i,. an expert in managing horses
either from the box or in the saddle. For
year: her has been a familiar figure,
mounted on » spirited steed and whizzing
along at a rate that would make almost
any other woman faint to think of. This
season, however, the Barone - does not
appear on horseback- She drives a span
of sorrels to a stylish victoria in the after¬
noon, but it is in the morning that she
appears in fin* lillle yellow buck board
that is so familiar to people at the
Branch.
While the wealthy ar enjoying them
si Iv'i s in their carriages the less fortunate
find plenty of amusement at the hotels
and cottages. Long Branch will never
ben second Gouty Island. It is too far
from New York, and the necessarily high
rate- of transportation keep away to a
great extent the crowds that make Wist
Brighton so lively. Yet the building of
the iron pier has encouraged the Sunday
pleasure-seeker to conic, and lias made
that end >f the Branch n little like the
popular Long Island resort. The sausage
man can be seen now and then near the
pier, the carrousel is there, and while it
is quiet enough week day it is the liveli¬
est spot for miles about at night and on
Sunday ■ 8 ,
ft is a remarkable thing that one sel¬
dom sees a drunken man. This is true of
(lie whole region. The policemen tell me
that the crowds are remarkably well be¬
haved and that arrests are .seldom made.

After the lovelorn runuieos and the

Beneath th'

travagantly furnished and beautiful to
look upon. Sometimes it is expensive round, to
look upon them when the ball goes
for th-y are gambling rooms. The rooms
are attractive and are visited nightly by
hundreds of men, not all of whom are
by any means professional gamblers.
They are the centers of life after ten
o'clock, and remain so until the circles
of light above them pale in the growing
morn. The frequenters are mostly busi¬
