Beauties of Scenery and Surfat Virginia Beach.

OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND

Surf Bathing Is Already Enjoyed, andThose Pnrticipaling Declare Tem¬

¿Special to Tlie Tlni«Hi-l)l«|>3tch.)VIRGINIA BEACH, May 22.-'Twlxt

Sf:.i and pines," Is a term of description^frequently applied to Virginia. BeachTliero 1b none mure applicable or tlio-roglily iit-curatB. Within two hundredyards of the shore of old ocean thereare the dense forests of pine, whose sweetodors me forever mingled with tlio pun¬gent suit of the oenn breezes. It Is be-Iloved that the beach Is uuli|iin lu thisparticular. Everywhere else uiong theAtlantic coast the hind Is barren offorest nnd grass for a Considerable dis¬tance from the fihore, but the beautifullawn at Virginia. Brach extends to theline of high Udo, rind the pine forests are

nt thn doors of the hotel. This remarka¬ble feature of the landscape Is the mostattractive to be seen at the beach, andone noticed especially by the tourist fromthe North, those from the Kouth beingmore accustomed to verdure near to the

ocean, though, ng I have remarked, thereIs no other piuco where It is found In somarked a degree.The experiment or keeping the hotel

hero open all winter has proven a suo-coas, and it Is well assured that the beau¬tiful Princess Anne Hotel will not againbo closed, winter or summer. The patrou-ugo has boon excellent all winter, andtho guests uro ceimlug in rapidly now.Surf bathing is already enjoyed. Severalgonlloniun and one lady were In tho waterto-day. They declared that tt was aswarm as it Is in midsummer. And whynot? For the sun was shining brightly,the flowers In blossom on the hotelgrounds, and occasional sunshades attest¬ed that tho temperature of the atmon-phero Wim too ardent for comfort. Stillsurf bathing so early In tho yenr Issomething unheard of In the latitude ofthe famous resorts only a few degrees oflatitude further north,

OOBF ADD WINTEB.Oolfers at the beach have enjoyed the

spurt all winter, there being but fewdays whon it was not pleasant on thelinks. Tho nlne-holo course hero Is one »iftlio most beautiful In tho country;; indeed,It Is seldom that one runs aoross a spotmore (juletly lovely thnn the VirginiaBeach golf links, as level as a floor andas green ns tho greenest Held of theEmerald Isle, skirted on two sides byUm magnificent pine forest. One feels Insuch a spot the joy of golfing us It Is notexperienced anywhere olse.The scenery about tho beach Is much

different from that In tlio ii'Iclnlly ofother ropprts. There nro the greatstretches of pine forest; tho grnssymeadows, the true.-k farms, ns well cul¬tivated ns guldens; tho sandhills, largerand more plotiircse.ue than such nro usu¬

ally foupd; tlio limitless stretch of oldocean, the ceaseless booming of whosobillows on Ihn sumí beuch Bound ns thoronr of artillery. It In renlly small won-d,or that tlio beach should lie the favor¬ed resort It Is, Mr. T. D. Oreen, the pro¬prietor, formerly f,f ll|B mnnagoniont ofthe Jefferson In Itlchiiioiid, told me to¬day that tho big Princesa Aune llotol wasentirely Inadequate to supply the demandsfor space he expects this summer. Ho hasalready engaged muiiy rooms to Intendingguests for the summer season, Includingseveral well known Blclnnond people.Tho long row of cottages which line th«bench above und below the hotel arefilled every summer, nnd there will hea number of now ones this seusnn.

It is» little wonder that tliero Is 1)1«crowds at the beach every year- TlieroIs about everything there to attract peo¬ple In search of pleasure or fun, andthe seeker of the boaullfu] In naturewould scarcely seek any other spot afterho had been in tho benoh a day.
