Your correspondent arrived at this
charming mountain resort early on the
morning Of the 18th. and was surprised to
find the Allegheny House open and quite
q number Of families occupying cottages.
Tho great difference in temperature be-
tween this altitude and the region near the
sea level is indicated in the fact that here
some OF the trees are Just putting forth
leaves. The park Is alive with birds and
carpeted with wild flowers. The tonic,
atmosphere makes every breath 3 delight,
and TO eat and sleep seems normal exer-
else even to one OF nervous temperament.
Having supposed that it would be difficult
to obtain comfortable quarters at such an
early date, we. were sgreeably disappoint-
ed in being regaled on mountain mutton,
green peas, asparagus, strawberries, &C.,
and otherwise entertainer at the Allegheny
House in excellent style. We find parties
here from Baltimore, Philadelphia, Wheel
ing, Pittsburgh, and even as far as st.
Louis. An1mber Of cottages have been
enlarged or otherwise improved, while
several new ones are in course OF erection.
"Cozy cottage row." ablock of thirteen
four-room domiciles, Is an addition to the
Accommodations since last season. AT
one end OF this neat row stands. the res
taurant building, remodeled and greatly
improved, 10 be known hereafter as Park
Dining Hail." The most notable im-
lproyement, however, Is the large new
Literary Hall, which has been built so as
to connect Il with the auditorium. 1t
presents the appearance OF an educational
Institution, and Is q model for buildings
| IJas;nna1 Eor uttch mn rnn0ae II r0nfainu
rooms for lectures, class work, the pfaetiee
OF photographing, DC, and Is the best
structure Of the kind on any assembly
ground in the country.
Sunday was observed as Children's Day
at the park, Methodist congregations
having been formed here by Rev. WsP.
Ryder, ofthe West Virginia Conference,
and numbering already some thirty mem-
\ bers, with aouiishtng sunday school.
The auditorium was adorned with flowers,
the programme prepared by the Board OF
Education was used, addresses were de-
llivered by Miss Addie Sherman, Mr.. Il. T.
Oliver, resident Of tho park and graduate
of Dickinson College, and DR.. Fysnger.
The audience, whichswas larger than any
which atten led the firstyear's exercises Of
the assembly, wxs,greatly pleased. -
| The religious and literary attractions
provided for the summer are quite nu-
meIous, among them being the inter.
State Convention OF the w. @. 7. NJ, the
International meeting ofithe Grand Divi-
sion OF the Sons Of Temperance, on which
Occasion public addresses will be made by
General Neal Dow and others OF world
wide reputation, the Friends Eyangelistie
Meeting, to be conducted by Dugan Clark
and William Updsgraf, who are among
the Quakers what Moody and Sankey are
among other denominations, the summer
school OF amatuer photography, under the
supervision OF the scholarly Professor
Hines, Ph. D., who was the frst 10 pop
utarize this recreatiye study ut sum-
mer resort, and to crown the whole, the
Mountain Lake Park Assembly, with
its Lecture, Normal, Language. and G.
IL. s. O. Departments. Covering the
'ltime Of nearly all OF these, the Mour-
ltain Lake. Park Summer School Of
Language, in which Modern Languages
and elocution will be mlde specialties,
will be conducted by Mrs. NJ. Stevens
Hart, Of Washington, DC. With such q
bill of fare, many VIII no doubt this year
be tempted 10 this mountain top resort
who have heretofore bean going elsewhere,
| especially as the choIefat threatens TO be q
visitor to our shores as Booh as hot weather
sets In. Those who go TO Mountain Lake
Park will have the satisfaction ef knowing
that the moral atmosphere there Is as pute
from faint as It's physical atmosphere is
from disease. The management is strictly
Christian, and no complaint has yet been
! made saye that It Is too near an approach
to Pnritanism. Asa sincere friend tlsthe
enterprise, would humbly petition, the
