The Season at Sharon-GueStS at the Pavilion
Reereaticn-The Hotd-IM Spring-TM At
mosphrs
This agreeable summer retreat, which never
wants for patrons, is, usual the resort of large
number Of wealthy and respectable citizens, from
New York, Boston and the South. The hotel
proper is full and the adjacent building, known as
Bachelors Hall, has, within the last day two,
received quite a number of tenants. Messrs.
Gardner & Josn, the proprietors Of the Pavilion,
have been obliged to refuse quite a number Of ap-
plcations for apartments, their large rooms having
long since been engaged. This is sort of home
spot for those who visit 1t. The same faces may
be seen from year to year, and the newly arrived
are, therefore, nearly always met and welcomed by
those who have been their compan ions on former
occasions. The ride from the railroad hither pre-
pares one to enter at once upon the enjoyment Of
the comforts which the establishment affords. The
rugged hills, which have to be crossed before ar
irving here, afford just enough of that kind Of
travel to satisfy, without wearyng, the traveller.
The distance from Palatine Bridge, the point at
which the cars are exchanged for the stage coach,
tance is over plank road At the depot, the tra-
weller is beset by runners for livery sta
bles, private backrnen, who are anxious to make
a fare by conveying him to the Springs. The most
popular mode OF conveyance is by Harris line of
stages. The coaches on this line are comfortable,
and the journey, performed in of them is very
pleasant affair. This is, in fact, the regular mode
of eachng Sharon.

here at present. and among them the following:-
