were tired and hungry. So, descending the
hills by the shortest route VIC could find, and
crossing the lake, We retreated in good order
to the Casino, the restaurant, where We recu
pcratcd our failing strength with certain shell
fish, for which New York is celebrated. This
necessary preliminary to eScrtion being over
we sailed forth again.
One word concerning this restaurant, which
is well known to all park visitors The rooms
and building are exceedingly handsome, and
the tabIc.lurnturo is elegant; but there is,
perhaps rather more show than substance
IN truth the business is Of necessity a variable
one in such locility, bad weather putting a
complete stop T. it, Hence the bill Of fare is
short with small variety. Except in the ice
cream season, it seems to depend upon visitors
from abroad looking at the park, the rich
who visit the park being too near their owr
homes, while the poor will not pay the high
rates, which it seems a necessity 10 charge, %
live at all.
From the Casino we speedily found our way
to an ocag1nal, towershapel building, sit
united on a knoll near by, which has earned O
coloh,ity in p,lico ren,rts nc beipe the detect.
