day gathered the following interesting
points about this destined.to.be famous re.
sort, situated on top Of the AlleghAnies-a
West Virginia enterprise located in smother
State. Winters near spproach, heralded by
quite heavy snow storm, a few days since,
warned the few remaining residents OF the
Park that It was time to leave, and the place
now Is deserted sIye by thoye who are COM
PEELED to remain during the winter. The
autumn has been spent In bustly pnshit
The various improvements, principally the

streets and broad avenues numerous enough
for city, while the cottages extending along
the front for about mile aud those farther
back that lie dotted over the entire place,
present an appearance Of attactivelCsIw which
surprises the stranger who has an idea thGt
the place Is wilderness and almost aston
ishes those who have watched the Park
spring up. 1.-THE rapid Growth OF the place
has been phenomenal sail the gentleman.
