The MEssRs. WILLARD, AT OLD PoISr-A
correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer writ
ing from Old Point, pays the following compli-
ment to the Messrs. Willard, at present the
proprietors of that delightful watering place.
We cordially endorse what he says of them:
Mr.. Caleb Willard is a prodigy in hotel
management. The quiet, amiable, and yet
effective personal supervision that he bestows
on all the movements of this vast carav ansary,
secures comfort to every guest. You should
know that the Willard brothers are not mere
spectators in hoteling-nOt simply men who
have gone into it to take the money Of the
travelling public for such accommodation as
they are only obliged to extend, but they are
regular born and bred hotelists, thoroughly
learned and practical in all that concerns the
government of great American hotel. And
this is TIE secret of the present unexampled
success of Old Point Comfort under the genius
of the Willarts. They have fixed the fact,
for the first time, o. splendid Southern wa
tering place, and they deserve the success
which they are receiving.
