The Bursting of Cloud.-Gaithers-

The Bursting of ClOud.-Gaithers-
burg on Monday evening last verified the
old quotation
A feeling of dissatisfaction has been very
conspicuous since the opening of the Summit
Hotel as a summer resort-but like to the
bursting of a chrysalis, is the sudden trans
formation that has there taken place. The
individual wearied Of city life, and the mo-
notony attending his duties there, will read
a description of the Hotel under its present
prosperous condition, with delight for the
present, and satisfactory thought for his
future vacations.
Mr.. Juan Boyle has been entrusted with
the hotel-and We congratulate the stock
holders on what we are pleased to term
their decided hit-we do not wish them
successive assure it. Mr. Boyle, having
always been a welcome guest among the
cultivated, well knows the art of making
everything agreeable.
On the evening referred to he proved HIM
self professional caterer to comfort and
filled the hearts of young and old with graft
tudc for having given them resort where
they will meet only those whom one should
be proud to meet. One would be excused
for supposing the so-called "German and
BALI "cupids archery club" for if there
were not some darts sent and received we
are much mistaken.
The train from Washington arrived at
the depot about half past eight O'Clock laden
with happy individuals; the plank walk
from the depot TO the summit" was crowded,
while vehicles were coming in every direc-
ton, and the effort was to get inside-for
judging from the exterior decorations we
Qa for a of tho intarinr Tho
grounds were lighted with Chinese lanterns,
which were as numerous as fire-tlies the
effect was beautiful, being sufficient but
subdued light.
After we had donned our "Claw hammer"
and ministerial neck-tie, we circulated among
as many bellies and beaux as could adorn
any ball -room.
The German" was the feature OF the en-
Northumberland success by Miss Bessie
Chubb, who led with Mr.. Derringer The
music by Weber. The handsome ballroom
was decorated with ferns and vines. The
floor of itself was an invitation TO indulge
in the "Terpsichorean" art. The inner man
was made happy as Mr.. Boyle did not for
get to do justice to the established reputation
of his family for their refined selection OF
comestibles, in word, the ball was sue
cess.
w aou.uBtOu was represented ny MIS-. anu
Miss Chubb, Mrs. Alice Thompson and sis
ter, Miss Jennie Lawn; Mrs. Whitney, Jones
and Eddy, Misses Ranney, Monroe, Kelley,
Brooke, and Messrs. Howard, Martin, Knott,
Hutchinson, McLane and Derringer
Rockville was comprehensive noticed
the Misses Veirs, Hodges, Maddox, Simpson
Messrs. Maddox, Green and A. Kilgour.
The presence of Senator Peter, DIR. SOM
mers, w. V. Bouic, Jr., and Mr.. Allen
added greatly to the occasion.
There were many present from the camp
ground and Gaithersburg, Mrs. Fitzgerald,
Monroe, Hutton, Delahunt, fancy Foley,
Bailey, Warning, Lybrand and-we fail to
go through the list-liie is too short. The
toilets were unexceptionable
We have passed TO far into the "scre and
yellow leaf" to be an active participant upon
such a joyous occasion, but rs we gazed on
the crowded saloons, caught the smile of
beauty playing DER dimpled cheeks, heard
the rich, mellow laugh minglng with soft
strains of choice music il recalled the rosy
memories of the past and impressed us with
an appreciation of the following couplet:
Beauty, grace, were there combined
To prove the goddess had been kind"
The were no tagging feet, and only when
morning kindly limited her farewell 10 night
by casting aside her cap, did the guests re-
linquish their enjoyments, and when TO the
genial host they said goodbye" they felt
lingering hope that it was not 10 be their
last, but they would again be "bidden to the
feast"
