are nothing In the way Of drawbacks
compared to the total absence OF any

A good landing that the steamer could
come up to with facility should b.
built ut once. The Glenbrook Hotel
Is n large aud commodious two-story
frame building, hard flushed through

conyeniences required for such an es-
Establishment. Vesey Is an old veteran

boarders. including the ladies, OF

south OF the saloon. and Is n good
sized one sufficient to accommodate a

gay and festive assemblage danced IN

Some Of the finest and largest trout

In the cove for sailing or fishing, aud
If visitors do not enjoy themselves

visitors from all parts Of the country:

place Is most literally aud abundantly
