TO rest and outdoor recreation. Never
since the place has been under the excellent
management of the Messrs. Peyton have
they had a more brilliant season, aud had
the accommodations been sufficient the
crowd would have more than doubled any
preceding summer. With all the advice by
letter. telegram, and instructions to rail-
road conductors by the proprlotors TO dis
courage visitors from afar, warning them
not TO come, that they were full TO over

Much complaint is made OF the heat, but
the highest the thermometer has reached
was 81 in the shade during August. The
pTOprietors promise much for next season,
and | am confident they will keep their
promise faithfully. First OF all will be de-
sirable rooms for $500 guests; & table which
shall surpass its present excellence, If not
any in this country, with improved cot
tages. baths, stables, an abundant supply OF
gas, calcium and electric lights on the bills
and mountains; a race-course, and lake for
boating and swimming. The recent acci-
dent at Little Bend tunnel, by which one
man was killed and several wounded,-all
employees OF the cOmpany-has interrupted
somewhat the departures for the West, ira
velers having TO walk some distance to the
western end OF the tunnel to reach the
trains, it being INSTRUCTED by the wrecked
train of some sixteen cars, which no doubt
will be removed and the track clear ere this
reaches you. Several accidents have Oc-
Cured to inexperienced riders of untamed
sieedS brought here since the fire. None,
however, so serious as that OF Miss Bolton,
OF New York, whose face was terribly cut
and bruised. DIR. Jud. Wood was first to
render her surgical assistance, and hand
someIy did he perform the operation, re-
ceiying the praises OF the most experienced
surgeons here.
