at height the hotel keepers doing fair amount
of business ut last years prices. and they are daily
expecting "rush. with all that that implies. The
private boarding houses actually full, while but
few unoccuped rooms be found at any of the
small hotels the Cliffs. So tar this season the
guests have not made very long tarry
at the hotels but the landlords have nothing
| to complain of. Quite a number of rooms en-
| gagged at the Ocean House and also at the Hotel
Aquidneck for August and portion of September.
Occasionally cottage is rented. but the cottage
renting season is evidently over. from present APP
pearances 1t is more than likely that few houses
| will be rented between and August !. and all
who have delayed making their selection will be apt
to house ut their own price All the first
class houses taken and those that remain in the
market at the present time those which rent at
prices ranging from $500 to $1,000 few of the
unrented houses. which, being OF higher figure. are
