NUE DE L1EAU HOTEL.
HAMPTON ROADS, VA,
Opposite FORTRESS MONROE.

OPPOSITE FORTRESS MONROE.
This delightful Southern seaside wafer
ing place is now daily receiving large num-
bers of visitors from all portions of lie
country. The hotel is under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Il. s. Dodson, formerly pro-
prietOr of the Fountain Hotel in Baltimore,
but more recently of the Hurdick House,
WillianspOrt, Pa, ard he is most ably as
sisted by Captain John Freeman, that
prince Of caterers, so well known to all
who have taken trip on the Ironsides,
which for SO long period made the con-
Eection between Acquia Creek and Wash
ington, D. q.
All the attractions which generally sur
round our principal watering resorts are to
be found in abundance. The fishing is ex-
Celient, the bathing fine, and the OppOrtu-
mites afforded for sailing parties are not
CXcellcd by any resort on the Atlantic
coast. The hotel is i'll daily communica-
tiOnH by steamer with Baltimore, and by
telegraph with all parts Of the world
Boats from Norfolk are frequent in their
trips and il facilities are enjoyed which
could be afforded by hotel in the city.
The company which OWNS the hotel has
spared no expense in decorating and i'm
proving the grounds to make the enter
prise success, and, if may judge from
the patronage it has already received from
the travelling public since its opening, it is
safe for me to predict prosperous future
for its owners and q brilliant success for
the hotel.
Many visitors from Baltimore are stop
ping here permanently, and conspicuous
among the ,lmber is Capt. John NJ. Rob
inson, President of the Bay Line of steam
ers and of the Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad, who is accompanied by his fami-
". There are many ladies among the
visitors, and the ball room is nightly filled
with youth and beauty.
