Rood, also the popular proprietor of the United States Hotel at Hartford. Excur- sion parties are not permitted to land at this part of the island, but Colonel Rood, knowing that Captain Peck would bring only nice party from New Haven, has very kindly giv- en his permission for the steamer to land there on this occasion. This is the most de- ightful part of the island.

The | walk also continues to the western or car- riage entrance; and 8 branch leads to 1 the eastern entrance. A driveway fol- | lows up the ravine, by which guests
 who desire are taken to the house. The ho- l tel IS situated in the midst of a beautiful l open grove. which is permeated by drives | and walks The eastern border is covered
 by large growth of hickory, maple, cherry, l sassafras, chestnut and oak, some of these | original forest trees, to the depth of from l sixty to eighty rods. The shore of Haven's l Creek is wooded throughout it's length Within this belt of forest is an open area of l sixty acres, on which here and there rise few wide espreading oaks and hickories more l delightful spot for an excursion cannot be | imagined.
