ever attended picnic there before, nor had one
been held there In many years, but all were
greatly pleased with the place. There was found
good shade, cool spring water, q gurgling brook,
and fine pond, shaded by old forest trees,
making nice cool retreat for bathing.
After partaking Of the abundant good things

generally believed that the Californian bought
the Hoffman house for Stokes and supplied the
money for furnishing it's famous barroom
Mackay always stops at the Hoffman when ne il

In this belief Stokes thoroughly concurs) that

dozen or more other houses were big, but we
are told by western men that they are nothing

Mackny has been particularly anxious that the
CITY should have hotel worthy Of the name
according to his standard. The structure they
propose to put up will be eight times the size OF
the Fifth Avenue hotel In this city, and will
have almost everything under its roof from q

Youthful beauty. 1t has had many I'M

requirements needful for the proper treat

Halls HAIR REVIEWER has steadily
grown in favor. and spread its fame and
usefulness to every quarter Of the globe.
Its unparalleled success can be attributed
to but one cause; the entire Ja.fInienf o.
its promises.
The proprietors have often been sur
prised at the receipt of orders from re-
mote countries, where they had never
made an effort for its introduction.
The use for 4 short time Of HALLS

the personal appearance. 1t cleanses the
scalp. from all impurities, cures all hui
mors, fever, and dryne>s. and thus pre-
vents badness. It stimulates the weak

forward a new and vigorous growth.
The effects of this article are not tran
sienf, like those of alcoholic preparations,
