Village and St Adams Bay have been

The work on the new st. Adams
hotel, temporarily named Park House
by the architect, is progressing rapid
ly. 1t begins to show its magnificent
proportions One hundred and seven
ty thousand bricks have already been

thousand. Judging from the manner
in which travellers fill up the hotels at
Newport, Stowe, Burlington, Alburgh
and Highgate Spring s, we have no
doubt but the new hotel here, if ready
for guests. would be wholly occupied.
