SUMMER IN THE CITY AND SEASHORE. The Kxtrciue Hut Wrnllier Theatrical Tuples Pickups Atimit llir City, iKtiiTouiAt. ConitKni-oNDKNcr.. Just now tho great inotroKi)U of America Is not In its most Attractive splendor, nor do tho denuens enjoy homo Urn any too well. Tho weather, during my stay of a week has boon excessively warm, iiueomfortatilo to live by day, and tho heat hy ttl(ht Iwlng such as to prevent sleep like unto our neiiraskn siumttcrH. This Is certainly 0110 big advantage wo havo over tho olToto cast. It may lx hot enough dur ing tho day to roast a good dinner In tho sun, hut nt 11 Iglit wo seldom fall to obtain n cool nnd (pilot sleep. Tho atmosphere in tho city hns Itccn so oppressive that during the at few days, hundreds havo liecii stricken down in tho streets, and n great many deaths havo been reported lit tho daily (wilier. A fair Idea of tho extent of heat may I hi formed from tho fnct that n gentleman was prostrated In Ceil trnl park yesterday, and this Is considered 11 very cool place. Tlio seashore resorts uro Just opening for tho season nnd It is at near by-jwlnU that tho Now Yorker seeks frequent cool roiKwos from tho city's mighty heat. Coney Island Is easily nnd speedily reached hy several routes, of which tho most popular is tho nil wnter route, Thero nre no vera I ways to reach tho island hut that of tho Iron Mtenmhoat Co,, is tho only 0110 that goes by wntor entire. This Isn U-nutlful ride, affording tho plensuro seeker n lovely view of tho bay mid hit; hnrlior, with such at tractions along the route ns the famous Htntuo of I.lliorty, Governors Island, Brooklyn bridge, tho former nnd latter presenting par ticularly handsome pictures on returning nt night, lx)th being hriliniitly illuminatetl by eloctriclty. Tho Iron steamboats nro largo nnd commodious, having n capacity of from 1000 to 2200 pawtenger. They hnvo trlplo decks and inako tho run In (lfty minutes, and tho fnro Is very cheap, (fifty cents round trip) thus affording everybody an opportunity to go frequently. The other transportation Hues go part by rail and tho balance by water. Un Friday I vlsitod Coney Island and yes terday, which wns renlly ooiiliig dny, for It was tho first very largo gathering tho now bench has had this Rummer. I visited Brigh ton nnd Manhattan bench, on both occasions accepting tho opportunity to dnuivn my i son in tho waters of tho mighty deep; music filled tho nlr, and bathers by tho hundred filled tho beach, nnd it was altogether very elegant. Notwithstanding tho fact that It was Sunday, tho hctel.i nnd other seaside resorts, ns well ns Manhattan ImnicIi, wns visited by Now York's host element and oftentimes while waiting for n breaker to coma thundering nlong, an acquaintance who seemed to know, or know hy sight, most ovorj prominent per sou, would from time to time point out various looplo of prominence both In and out of tho wnter; mid the fair sox wero thero too in great uumheiH nnd in fact I might say there wore 111 reality onccthinl more ladles than gentlemen Manhattan bench, as every out. hero knows, is for tho refined clement, wlillo Coney Island is visited by all classes, the for mer, howover, havl ig njliotter bcach.and su perlor accomodations. I visited Buffalo Bill's Wild West, on Frl. day and from what I had hoard of it, expect ed much, and it Is but Just to say that my ex pectations were more than realized. Tho show consists of fancy riding, oxcrt marks mntislilp, exhibit showing various modes of life on the plains in tho early history of tho west, etc. The attraction Is located at Eras tlno on Htaton Island and is doing big business. To reach tho pliico It is necessary to tnko the lioats nnd trains of tho Slaten Island llnplri Transit Co; boats leaving here overy twenty minutes, tho rido Mug about half hy wnter nnd half by rail.

Today Is "Slaughter Day" in Now York wholesale houses and it is an iiitorehtlng sight to observe the array of resident and visiting buyers Jumping hi for bargains. All goods are sold at n big discount for two reasons, viz.: to make room for winter goods and secondly, most all the larger houses invoice this mouth, It takes but little time to clear out 1111 cntlro Moor of tho oxtensive Jobbing houses, 11 half day ImjIiik tho usual timo .lleii- ular huyorp, of course, know the exact value of goods, mid a sulllcient discount Is offered to move tho goods ami they move rapidly.

At noou weddings tho ushers, especially if tboy are very young men, wear cutaway ooata of flne black diagonal cloth, with white plquo vests and very dark strlpod trousers, tnoro bluo than gray in tone, Tholr scarfs are of whlto China crupo, or of white Bon gallne, In which, stuck In one corner, is n scarf pin, the gift of tho groom, their glovos nre pearl colored, with blnck cording or stitching on tho back; their shoes are of pat ent leather, with dull kid uppers, and tholr very largo boutoiinlcresaroof tho whlto rosos of Juno, with a littlo sprig of tho cultivated nspnrngus amid tho row leaves; whlto ribbon loops sometimes show conspicuously In those wedding favors, but are moro often conflnod to tho coachman nnd footman of tho carrlngo in which tho brldo is taken away from the churcli. At afternoon weddings tho frock coat with black vest Is most generally worn, yet tho cutaway coat Is by no means limited to morning weddings.
