boarding houses are In the town.
East of the Park at the distance of
four miles is Deer Park. Here is an
other fine, large hotel, run by the B.
& o. r. r. Company.
The three places will form an al.
most continuous summer resort for
six miles along this railroad, with
frequent trains both ways, stopping
at all three stations. Whatever of
interest may be going on at one point
will be available at the other two.
I HEALTHFULNEss.
This whole region of country has
become so famous for healthtulness
that it is unnecessary to enlarge upon
the subject here. Thousands repair
to these mountains every year in
search of rest and health. and no one
in whom is left susceptibility to phys.
ical and mental repairs come in vain.
Every hotel and boarding house was
overlooking during the summer of
1881. Scarcely house in Oakland
and the country round was without
boarders. Even then hundreds were
turned away. This year the B., &
o. R. r. Company have found it ne.
cessary to enlarge their hotels, nearly
doubling their accommodations.
Persons suffering from dyspepsia,
nervous prostration, loss CT appetite,
mental weariness, low spirits, are
especially benefited by a lsojourn
here. Within a very few hours the
exhilirating effects of the atmosphere
are experienced. Appetite begins
to return, elasticity is resored, the
spirits recover their buoNncy, nor
NAL sleep revisits the sufferer from
sleeplessnes.
hay FEVER.
This is one of the regions where hay
fever is unknown. Sufferers from
this scourge escape it entirely by
visit to these mountains. and an at
tack is quickly relieved by coming
here.
DESIGN.
The design of this resort is stated as
follows, in Article 2 ofits charter:
1.-THE object of this Association shall
be to establish Summer Resort,

proposed to hold Camp meeting

10th and ending Aug. Goth.

lecturers will be engaged to deliver
lectures during the season. To these
lectures small admission fee will be
charged to assist in defraying expen-

accomplishing the purposes of the
Association as rapidly as circumstan-
ces will permit. 1t is thus hoped to
promote the religious and intellec-
tual welfare of visitors as we'll as

recreation.
