and we'll ofilcered. stopped one day q. Traycrs
City, and Was made to regret that could no
stay longer. It Is an euterprising and thrift
town, and its principal hotel is, upon tn

the best in Northern Michigan. This hotel
though large, has been we'll filled all summer
and itsregister contains the names Of numerou

made extended visits. Traverse, too, has be
come sort Of distributing point Tor gentlemen
| in search OF good fishing, who are here within
| easy reach Of several lakes well stocked witt
bass, pickerel, etc. But the attractions are toe
| we'll known to need further mention. }

but said: "The Mackfnac hotels are like the
roads Of the Arkansas Traveller; if you take
either one, you will wish you had taken the
other" This prophecy has not been fully re-
allied In my case, though am constrained to
say thnt the hotels here are not frst-claes. The
rates are higher than at Traverse City, while the
