The Hay Rover Resort n~TOptnabee.~
For the benefit of such of our reader,
as suffer from the hay fever affection, q.
well as those who seek a summer rosOr1
at once %healthful, quiet, delightful ant
easy OF access, we make the following
extracts from a prospectus just issued
by the Northern Hay Fever Resort Asso-
ciatien:
There are thousands of people in the
United. States, suffering victims of Hay
Fever, and are annually obliged to flee
to some place of refuge. and spend an
eighth or one-sixth of their time there.
or suffer hay fever with all its horrors.
This annual pilgrimage, which must be
continued during life, so far as aUe know,
assumes to be a matter of serious impor-
lance with many of us, whether we can
earn enough during the five-sixths of
time we are at home, to live and paw
our expenses at a place of refuge. It is
also a question of serious Importance to
us, that where we spend One-sixth of
u time, VIZ are able to surround our
selves with the comforts and convenient
ces of a home.
With all these questions pressing for
years on us victims, 1t is strange that
some organized attempt has not been
made heretofore, to avail ourselves of
the advantages to be secured by assO-
ciated effort. To meet this want for our
selves, a few of us have made a new de-
parture, and organized an association,
with $4,000 capital stock, in one hundred
shares of twenty-five dollars each, over
One-quarter of which il already sub
scribed. The Association has located
at TOpinabee, on a narrow peninsula
between Mullat Lake and Burt Lake,
only two miles wide, on the Mackinaw
Division of the Michigan Central r. R.,
over which, during the season, there are
run daily. two passenger trains besides
local trains) each way from Detroit and
Chicago. with sleepers, and no change
OF cars, all stopping at the station, the
depot OF which is within twenty rods of
U lands. T~Opinabee is 40 miles from
Chicago; 263 miles from Detroit; 30 miles
south from Mackinaw Island and has
daily mail and telegraph facilities.
During the summer season. there Is a
daily line OF steamers each way, from
Mackinaw Island across the straits to
C~neD0ygah, up through ChebOygan river
and Mullett lake to TOpinabee, thence
through Indian river and Crooked lake
TO Oden, about eight miles north and
east Oh Pet0skey,. a vesy popular route
for tourists. 1t is one of the best points
IN Northern Michigan for fishing with
hook and line. and bass, pickerel, pike
n whlte6Sh are abundant in the lakes,
and fine trout and grayling streams not
far distant. Plenty of game in its sea-
s0n-deers, ducks, geese and partridge.
There is q first class hotel, with accomo-
datiOns for a thousand guests. Board
~ per day, or $40. so to $14 per week.
The grounds are a beautiful natural
park, rising in terraces from the lake, to
over a hundred feet, and adjoining the
village of ~TOpinabee. 1t is covered with
second growth of timber, from ten to
thirty feet high, consisting of pine,
spruce, balsam, poplar, oak of different
Kinds, and maple, and carpeted with
.l~ntergreens, trailing arbutus, sweet
and low bush huckleberries.
Although the Association was organ
,,zed primarily in the interest of hay
ever victims. we are willing and desir-
of sharing its benefits with summer
'esorters, and we cordially invite them
% join our Association and enjoy its adj
'antagas.
