SWEET SPRINGS.
Opening of the Gay Season Of
this Famous Watering
Place.

The opening of the far-famed Swee
Springs for the year 1883, has been made
under more favorable auspices than ever
heretofore known.
The management is of the very best, in
including the senior proprietor, Col. Hall,
of Louisville, Kentucky, an old expe-
rienced hotel man, and one whose success
| in the matter of summer resorts has been
marked, and the well-knOwn w. p. Walton,
who has long been proprietor OF the City
hotel at Brownsville, and also was one Of
| the hotel managers at Sweet Springs last
season. These gentlemen are ably assisted
! in their endeavOrs toward securing the
comfort of their guests, not alone by their
amiable and intelligent wives, but by q
thoroughly trained corps of the most eff
Gent servants These latter have had the
education of Long Branch, and also have
been thoroughly tested by aperiOd Of actual
and practical service with Col. Hall pre-
vious to their advent at Sweet Springs.
| The hotel building has been furnished
with new coat of paint and put in q
thorough state Of cleanliness throughout.
Many of the rooms and cottages have al
ready been engaged for the season and it is
altogether concluded that more distin-
guished visitors will be present this year
than ever before.
| The excellent band which last season en-
tranced all visitors at the Springs. has
again been engaged, and the harmonies
evoked are worthy of the admiration of ev-
cry appreciative listener.
| There are already about fifty permanent
visitors at the Springs, and although the
stir is not yet found that will eventuate in
later day, the enjoyment is heartfelt and
sincere.
The formal opening Of the salt baths
which have been such .
taking feature in the past, took
place Friday morning, and in the even
ing ball was given, which, although not
what had been expected, owing to the
heavy storm prevailing, and which mate
rally interfered with the arrival of those
to whom an attendance otherwise would
have been feasible, was participated in by
a number of dancers from Brownsville and
The Springs.
The ball took place in the ball room and
the dancing was kept up until an early
hour of the morning.
}, The most of the costumes were hastily
improyised for the occasion, and while being
In several instances pretty and Elective
there were bnt few worthy of special men
ton.
At midnight the dancers adjourned to
the hotel dining room, where banquet
consisting of cold ham, sliced beef, salads,
role, pickles, cheese, . variety OF rich
cakes, ice cream and delicious coffee was
served
The tables were laid With excellent taste,
in the form of double cross, the center
one being ornamented with q spiral py-
rsmid of pink and white cream candy, sur
mounted BY white dove. There were also
pyramids Of fruits and baskets of nuts and
confectionery. The proprietor, as we'll as
