The Bourbon news. [volume] (Millersburg, Ky.) 1881-1883, 1883-07-17
Blue Lick Springs.

The NEWS tourist recreated at the Blue
Lick Springs from Saturday evening until
Monday morning. While looking over the
beautiful scenery and palatial new Airing
ton House on the site of the old hotel
grounds where once reveled the Clays, Crit
tendens, Breckenridge and Marshalls, OF
Kentucky, and hundreds of the wealthy
planters of the South in days of yore, when
that comic old building ranked as the Mecca
Of the South as place to pay tribute to the
health-giving powers of natures purest and
proudest gift-and the snug and coy LaRue
House with modest and unpretentious bear
ing under the cool retreat of the weeping
elms HARDLY, we wondered why thousands
fOcked to that hot-hole of sin and robbery
at the Hot Springs Of Arkansas and passed
this far more beautiful and healthy retreat
by.
But we have not time nor space here to
discuss the problem, but will say to the un-
sophisticated that an analysis Of the Blue
Lick water shows that it is pre-eminent
above all others; and as for hotels, none in
the South stands pre-eminent to the Airing
ton, except perhaps the White Sulphur, and
that merely in dimensiOns-nOt even in
glitter and mechanical construction or in
management.
In viewing the massive building over, we
could not suggest single improvement.
The table is now being supplied with the
very best that our country and city markets
afford, and the finest corps of cooks, stewards,
and other servants are the best that could be
gathered from the various steamboats, now
lying up. All attention is being paid to
guests that they may be made supremacy
comfortable. The rooms are large, well-fur-
| nished and ventilated, and they are suffi-
cient in number to accommodate 500 guests
comfortably.
The two hotels, though by no means
crowded, owing to the backward season, are
| now having a paying run Of trade, which is
being daily added unto.
There is a fine string band at each of the
hotels, and the giddy whirl is INDUCED in
| every evening.
