fine white sand and on the other slde good deal
more. There are some twelve large spacious ho-

largest which accommodate some 500 apiece, is
the Atlantic kept by Messrs. McMakn, thorough
gentlemen quiet, affable and obging, and there is
not hotel kept better, than this in the United
States, nor anywhere out oft. The Columbia follows

IA If all the cities had sent their farest flowers to
