At iiight the entire length of the boardwalk and the pier Is with small lights, and from the large concrete pier one obtains a moot beautiful view of the entire beach front. llcBecting over the ips of the hotels are the caiup fil es in the tent city, and above this on the hills stand out two of tho moc.t powerful lights lr. the harbor of New York which guide the mariner after At all the hotels the finest of fond is served, the vegetables all coming direct from the farms on the Island, fresh every day.

There are bathing pavilions large enough to accommodate hundreds, and Scattered along the beach at intervals are large low wooden umbrellas, not too high to prevent the ocean view from the boardwalk, b.it enough to protect the bathers during the heated hours of mlddry. The boardwalk is nearly fifty feet from the waterllne, while the bench slopes gently out to sea. The water is clean and no driftwood floats near to. strike or harm the bathers. Lifesavers patrol the beach and are constantly watching to protect anyone attacked with cramps or Illness.

At the northern end of the beach there Is a trolley line over a mile and a half In length connecting Midland and South Beaches. 1H0U0H there Is no line of ex cursion boats plying between Midland Beach and Brooklyn direct, there are several ways tho other amusements which refined retorts will allow their patrons to cater are on the beach.

All of the bridges connecting Brooklyn nd Manhattan have transportation lines running direct to South Ferry, while the subway from Atlantic avenue brings one out one station north of the ferry, where a change may be made to a South Ferry train or walking through Battery Park.

Both ferries land at St. George, ad- Joining one another, and from there trol-j deys run every few minutes to the beach. The ride, which Is about forty minutes in length, carries visitors through some the prettiest sections of the island, I mostly countrified, though the first part Is through the largest business section ol the south side of the Island.
