FRIEND WHITE:-Ntfen I left Mey.
i:o | promised to write YOU a few
lin:s Hhilr .0ous. LaiviAh there che +
We agG Ut. j, Mniihs dnrxt day.a.
after II tsenty ioutf trtHr' ride Il
find myself nicely si.Hnted on this
Island. This is the largest Of the
group and the most picturesque. 1t
is very Good and pleasant here; to-
day it is raining and feels like a Sep
teIaber day at home. The days are
not too warm, while the nights are
quite cool. l have been to many
places of summer resort, but for
beauty, comfort and pleasure none
are equal 10 this. There are two,
large hotels here, besides several
small ones and many boarding houses,
They ara we'll filled, though not as
we'll patronized as many years age,
owing to the financial condition of
many who formerly came here. This
is the largest hotel in the Island, con-
tanning 400 rooms, with a hall about
500 feet long. About 400 guests are
stopping here, most of whom are from
Ohio and Indiana, with a few from
New York, Chicago and st. Louis.
From two to five excursion boats COME
daily from towns from the surround
ing States, spend a few hours here
and Depart. Everything is subservi-
ent to comfort and pleasure, and We
never grow tired of visiting the many
places Of interest, while the AR from
the lakes is al all times pure, fresh
and invigorating. There Is. nptllhg
the visitors delight more in than row
ing and you Il at almost any hour
sec hundreds engaged i'll that pleas
ure. Within one mile of us on al
Island is the great wine house where
the many tons Of grapes produced
here is made into wine; it is a neat,
beautiful and pleasant place to visit.
Within half-a-mile- is Gibralter, where
stands the fine residence built by Jay
| Cooke. 1t has but II occupant
now in the person of Owen Brown,
the youngest son of Old John Brown ;
|"
he is a man Of 60 years of age or
more. There is an Artillery Com
pany here for the entertainment OF
the visitors. They have a fine string
banl and large dancing hall, which
is well filled every evening; Saturday
evenings they have a dress hop, when
all are expected to dress in good
style. There was a fine display o.
dry goods last Saturday night. Some
wore elegant and rich dresses; the
one attracting the most attention wa
