Holiday Haunts.

HOLIDAY HAUNTS .

MARGATE AND ITS SURKOUN'DIN'GS . MAI IGATE is the most popular watering-place in England . There nre other resorts as near , even nearer to the metropolis , but none rival the lively Thanefc town . No clonbfc the railway services of the South Eastern , ami London , Chatham , and Dover Railways have done much to increase the nnmber of visitors . The facility and cheapness of

access must of necessity have contribnted a great deal to its popularity . Something else , however , was needed to make Margate what it is . Before railways existed , this Kentish bathing-place had a ccveat reputation . A friend , who is now enjoying his holiday there , is always enthusiastic about ; Margate . He has been seized with the

afflicting comp laint , " caoaofches scribendi , " and much as we value his opinion on most matters , we are not inclined to repeat what he has written on his favourite topic . There is some excuse for him ; he went , to Margate as a boy ; he has been going ever since , and if we say that he is not now young , we shall tell all onr readers

need to know on that point , withont offending our friend . The Margate boats are an institution . They were something more before the era of railways . Then the town wns more primitive than it is now ; the improving , not destroying , hand of time has effected great changes . It was no easy matter on occasions for passengers to

land , and that torture to bad sailors—mal de mer— was increased b y the rough transit from steamer to dry land . The boatmen , of course , wero tho gainers , and doubtless thoy regret the "good old times " when they made profit out of other people ' s misfortunes . The scene sometimes wns very amnsing , especially when some of the passengers

preferred to wade to shore rather than be carried on the bicks of old salts . The , old jetty in those days lost its attractions to the sick traveller , although ifc was largely patronised from the land side . Now , owing to an extension , passengers can gain terra firma , with ease and comfort , and visitors find a pleasant resort . The added area

covers something like 50 , 000 feet , and on it are erected a refreshment bar and a shelter from the sun and rain . It offers , too , a splendid sea view . The caterers are Messrs . Simmonds , of Heading , who have secured a courteous and efficient manager iu Mr . Dupree . The hand of the West Kent Militia , under the direction of Mr . Man .

golsdoTf , plays afc intervals during the day , and altogether the j ^ tty just now is a very popular centre of attraction . It would not , however , be complete without the presence of the Harbour Master , Mr . Fowster , and the Secretary , Mr . Sowfcer . Tlie patriarchal appearance of the former and the healthy bronz'd features of the latter remind

old visitors of the past , and of the value and character of the air of Margate . We shall not attempt a description of the improvements that have been effected on the beach , and in other parts of the town , except to say that a new town has arisen on the Fort , which has not as a

consequence lost the charm of its lofty eminence . We shall , however , allude to some old and new features provided for visitors , but before doing so , we desire to mention a few of the familiar landmarks where men have congregated , and still do muster to satisfy those bodily wants which arise with such avidity afc Margate . The town was always

noted for its hotel accommodation , and it has not lost its character ia this respect . Civility , although ifc costs nothing , is not always finel y dispensed . The people of Margate have learned its value , and it is because they are civil that thoy have won tho good opinion of visitors generally . Tins is especially true of tho hotel keepers . We

' an call to mind some of these places , known to as vve do not enre to say how long ago , but with which the friend we have referred to was acquainted years before . Among the most prominent , at the nresenfc dav are the White ITart , tho York , Nayland Rock , the Grand Hotel under the management , of Mr . Penman , the old-fishioned , I

cosy , comfortabl" Kind ' s Head , kent by Mr . T . Pierce ; fc ' ie celebrated " Hoy , " with Mrs . J . Stevens at the head of affairs : the Ship , under rhc captaincy of Bro . Alrehiir . st , who has always a welcome smile for bis patrons . Then there is tho Old Kern , com nanded by the soldier'ike Bro . Thur-ton ; also the Elephant , and the quiec bar at

• Vestal ; s , where all that the thirsty need can be had of the best . Ve may add to the list tho Cliftonville Hotel , which is under the ible management of Bro . Louis . L'it'eris . Among the "institutions " > F Margate must , be reckoned Bro . W . Crawford , who is over re-idy

• - ' th a witty s . 'i' / y and a trood-hnmonred joke . Nor should we forget vlr . Cosier '? Canf . ei-bnry Conch , which never hicks living freight ; at his lime of the year . The journey is a pleasant one , and the coachnan , Mr . Harry Cracknel ! , is a character in his way . When Lhe old A :: ;" -mb ) y Rooms were burnt down abont three ;
