Among the many rustic amusements
this resort affords, HrC hunting and fish
ing. Besides these we have many other
sources OF recreation, among which may
be mentioned the bowling alley, crOquet,
dancing and West Virginia horseback
riding, to say nothing Of the pleasure and
profit that is derived from an inVlg0r'

beautiful and romantic walks among the
picturesque pine forests and cool, shady
glens Astounding 10 buDbling springs and
sparkling cascades. Among the latter,
Laurel Cascade is especially worthy Of
note. Taking its source in several springs
On the mountain top, it makes sudden
descent over rocky preciplCc 10 feet In
height, forming at the same time most
picturesque and beautiful scene, while at
its foot the broken waters are collected
IN natural basin where trout abound.

action and energy, bringing life md neaIth

Two guests of the Summit House above
mentioned, well known for their hunting
and fishing propensiIies, went forth with
huoysnt spirits TO wage war against the

the trophies Of their success, but 10, and
behold the ho,eling wilderness was not
awakened by Lhe sound Of a successful
