The Ocean House is the great commercial centre
of Old Orchard, there being more commercial men
stop there than at any other two hotels together.
Saturday nights festivities included hops at most
of the hotels, while some enjoyed little musicale
or private theatrcas but by far the most brilliant
affair of the evening was the hop at the Ocean
House. 1t was the largest gathering that has con-
gregated at any hotel this season. Everything was
grand. One reason why the Ocean House hops are
SO popular and draw SO from the smaller hotels is
their orchestra. -
