I ton to rcgale and feast himself to his hearts
content. PHoEBUs has hotel whose spa
ciousness is admirable, and which for a
| long line fronts Hampton Roads, in view
Of the entire maritime array OF the CON-
merce that is floated so Ngrandly to and
| from the Chesapeake. The broad porches
and halls that extend around and through
this immense building maintain steady
aud delightful temperature, and make the

man in relaxation and rest.
The Hygeia has the most convenient ac-
cess to the markets OF New York, Balti-
more, Norfolk, and Richmond, while all the
luxuries OF salt water are at its very doors.
It has, therefore, unsurpassed advantages
for making its guests entirely comfortable
and satisfied.
For pleasure and for health the salt bath
is powerful agent, and the hotel has fine
beach and excellent arrangements for the
purposes OF bathing.
The sailing and fishing ut Old Poiut are
fine. Fish arc abundant, and stiff breeze
III the Roads affords most delightful sail.
Old Point is admirable for its advantages,
and must grow in popularity until it be-
comes sort OF conventional mecting-placc
for representatives OF fashion from nearly
al. sections OF the Union; and this will
help to soften sectional asperities and pro-
mote national harmony. See advertisement.

the dancag light and shade Of the groves OF
