To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It extends 1300 feet, from the beach out into the ocean, beyond the breakers, afl'ording good deep water, amply sufficient for the landing of the largest class- of steamers. Its general width is 31 1-2 feet, the pier head being 81 1-2 feet wide. In its proportions, as well as in its general construction, it surpasses the Iron Piers of Long Branch and Coney Island, in its special arrange- ments several important improvements having been added. Every span is braced, which gives it a degree of sol...idity and strength equal to the strains of the severest winter storms, and beyond that ever before attained in any iron work of this class. Its surface affords an acre of promenade over the ocean billows, and a delightful resort for visitors, who enjoy an unrivalled marine view, and obtain the full benefit of cool, refreshing, salt sea breezes. During the entire sum- mer season there will be concerts provided. At night it will be bril- liantly illuminated by 212 gas-jets, with colored globes of various tints and hues, and 80 large chandeliers.
