GLADRs HOTEL,



The uncomfortable hot weather during
the latter part Of june, hastened our do
parture from the city, ,Sand wishlng 70 Oh.
tain Is great d contrast as possible to the
temperature Of Cincinnati, We sought the
most accessible mountain region. TAX
ing the $50 "A. N. train Of the MRrietta
and Cincinnati Road, VIC had apleasant
thoughSWarm, ride through Ohio, making
the run ingless time than was occupied
two summers ago when we came over the
same road. We were glad to find an
improvement had been made in the ap'
pearauce and. comfort Of the passenger
coaches, which run directly through to
Baltimore, the tunnels on the road from
Parkersburg to Grafton having been Wild
Cned sufficiently 10 allow the passage
Of broader cars than could formerly
be used on this route. There Is an
cxhileration attending the gradual, though
perceptible, ascent Of these grand old
mountains, and an excitement produced
by the cvCr-varying views, which is quite
distinct from that experienced on almost
any other road. Frequently as 1t has
been our good fortune to pass over this
line Of travel, there Is always so much
variety and grandeur Of scenery that We
have never become weary as observers,
but are constantly on the lookout for some
new beauty in nature, and arc not dtsAp-
pointed. The magnificent scenery has
been so often and 50 well described that
no attempt will here be made 70 repro
duCG it to your readers,
The radical change Of climate found
here was so great that II was difficult TO
imagine ones self 50 few hours distant
from tho eneryating heat Of our city. For
the first few days alter our arrival and lln'
cOnIrolIable inclination to sleep WIS yield
cd to, ind such undisturbed rest was en-
loved US could not he secured in the hot
nights left behindus. Wewere surprised
to find the Glades Hotel so nearly full at
this early period Of the season, but the
many Wushingtonians here were forced
by the heat To quit their homes and be-
take themselves to This delightful retreat!
Commissioner DelanO Is here with his
family, enjoying IL brief respite from the
perplexing dudes ofihis office A ntlnl-

Cincinnatians who annually frequent tiIls

Those WHO are acquainted with the
popular host Of the Gladcs Hotel, who
