Show Improvements at Black Rock In the course of human events it becomes necessary once in a while to take a bath and under the recent improvements that have been made it is likely that Black Rock will continue to enjoy the popularity in which it was held last year though for far better bet-ter reasons Mr M L Causey the gentlemanly proprietor has been been making extensive changes preparatory to the certain rush of bathers that will crowd on him this season Mr Causey has had a number of pontoons built for the purpose of extending the walk into the water These pontoons when placed end to end and coupled together measure eighty feet in length about four feet in width and are furnished with a railing on either side The whole is attached to the end of the ladies pier and will obviate the necessity ol wading through or bathing in the deep water as it reaches out to a sand bar which is located between the pier and the Black Bock The water on this bar is about three feet deep and the sand makes a comfortable com-fortable bottom to walk on Another great improvement that was noticeable is the covering of canvas on each side of the ladies pier which will add greatly to their comfort when they come out of the water protecting them alike from the chilling breezes and from the rude gaze of the excessively curious Mr Causey has been equally industrious in-dustrious with the dining rooms and with justice prides himself on setting set-ting as excellent a table as can be found anywhere in the territory terri-tory and intends that it shall be kept all through the season He has also refurnished the rooms refitted and renovated them in every way so that guests will be made as comfortable as can be desired de-sired In about a week Mr Causey will have a number of other improvements im-provements completed including several boats for the use of the gen eral > public With these improvements improve-ments and the natural advantages of the place combined it will be no fault of the energetic Causey if Black Rock does not become one of the most popular bathing resorts of the season |
