Since then the change certainly has been
remarkable and speaks well indeed for the
great energy and enterprise Of some Of the
best citizens Of Wheeling and vicinity. as
well as others interested in this worthy
undertaking which can not fail to COM
mand the commendation and admiration
Of all interested in religious summer re.
sorts. The originators Of Ocean Grove,
Chautauqua and other similar enterprises
look with wonder at this babe in the
Woods" as well they may.
It's first year saw the founding Of the
place, the building Of beautiful settle
ment OF fine cottage homes, an auditorium
capable Of accommodating hundreds Of
hearers and hotel, depot, postotiice and
other necessaries for public comfort and
pleasure, such as should please the most
particular. Hl@ te
The first season was as successful in every
respect rs the most sanguine could reason
ably anticipate, and far more so than ex-
pected.
The Sunday School Assembly with its
able force Of lecturers attracted the atten-

The Board Of Directors held meeting
on the grounds on the first Tuesday Of
December. They inspected the Park in
large sleigh drawn by Mr.. VanMeter's
spirited horses. A turkey dinner and .
venison supper at the Park Hotel fully sus-
tained the reputation OF this fine house. A
large amount Of business was transacted,
and the interests Of the Association were
found to be in excellent condition.
Several fine new cottages were in the
course Of erection, the most beautiful being
one near Doctor Logans on the knoll
west OF the Park Hotel, owned by Mrs.
Beacham, Of Baltimore, and another east
OF the hotel and near 10 Mr.. Lists, and be-
longing to Maj. AldeBon, Of Wheeling.
The lake, which also is due alone to
Wheeling enterprise, was well under way,
though II will probably not be entirely
completed before spring, and fine crop Of
first class ice has been secured for the
coming summer, which will doubtless be
source OF great comfort to many.
Come additional ditching has been done
to improve the drainage Of the Park front,
