AMERICAN HOTELS COMPANY or
JAMAICA.
from the GLeGner.)

The following letter was sent by
Mr.. William DrysdaIe to the Chair
man of the American Hotels Compa-
ny in Jamaica
Dear Sir.-In this land of flowers
and sunshine | find it much easier
to lie by on the %verandah, than to
undertake any sort of literary work.
But in response to your kind invita-
ton | am very much pleased to write
you something on what | think OF the
prospects OF an American Hotel in
jamaica.
1t has been my opinion for a long
time, that Jamaica is eminentIy the
place for such an undertaking.
You have here a climate that Gel
tainly cannot be excelled anywhere,
in the winter months. No visitor can
reasonably find fault with il, because
he can have pretty much any temper
ature he desires, from the cool bree-
yes OF the mountain tops, to the ge-
NAL warmth of the coast. This is a
very important matter in the selection
of a winter resort; and Jamaica is
almost the only tropical place | know
of where such a choice can be had.
There are indeed very few places
in the West Indies where winter Wis
itors from the northern cities u
make themselves at all comfortable,
on account of the lack of hotel accom-
modations. 1t is safe to say that
there are only three such places.
HAVANA, Nassau, and Barbados.
HAVANA can hardly be called a
health resort, but is frequented prin-
, 1888-01-18

with q sea voyage of less than four
hundred miles, provided there is a
comfortable way Of crossing from the
south shore of Cuba. The cable is
another advantage you have here.
At Nassau there is no cable, and Vi
sitors are completely shut off from
their friends.
| am familiar with nearly every
summer and winter resort in Ameri-
ca and the West Indies, from Santa
90 and Newport down 10 The little
"HoteI de France" in Trinidad ; ard
| do not believe that there is a better
place anywhere for a good hotel for
American visitors than Jamaica. If
it was comfortable and well managed
it would have plenty of customers.
If such a hotel were to be built here
| know at least of one American who
would come down and spend the
winter in it, and his name is,
Yours truly,
WILLIAM DRYSDALE.

The accuracy of the reports as to
tne gold-feld said to have been dis
covered in Wales still requires con
frmatlon; previous explorations there
resulted in disappointment. The
owner, however, from his letters,
seems to drepm of an out-turn Of two
millions a year and it is certain that
the out-turn from the goId-mines in
the Transvaal will be very large.
Ninety Companies, with a paId.up
capital of nearly IS, 900, 900, are al
ready at work there, cities are spring
ing up, and the rush Of English
diggers will, it is believed, greatly
modify the aspect Of political affairs.
If the new supply proves continuous,
it must improve the prospects Of
trade, which is suffering, in part at
least, from the appreciation Of gold.
A new supply Of ever $4,000, 600 4"
year would make a great difference,
and this ever if the extraction of tn"
of the gold yielded very little profit
on the labour and machinery devoted
to it. 1t is gold for currency, not
profit on gold digging, that the na-
tons with a gold standard are sigh
ing for.
The Daily reports from San Reno
are all of them favourable as are also,
the extracts published from the let
ters of the Crown Prince himself.
It is, however, unhoppiIy the fact
that his health is a subject OF specu-
lation to great parties, both political
and financial and that all accounts
not strictly official must be received
with great distrust. His own, Of
course, as usual with patients Of such
courage, are Of little value. 1t is,
we have reason to believe, the opinion
Of the best experts, that although the
case is an unusual one, the disease is
running it's usual course, with alterna-
tons of temporary promise.

cipalIy by transient visitors from
America travelling for pleasure.
One of the strongest objections to
Cuba as a winter resort is the Ian
guage j; and the mountains are prac-
tically Inaccessible to visitors, leaving
them no chance to escape from the
heat Of the coast. Nassau is more
popular with Americans, but the
island has few points Of interest, and
visitors so0n tire of the monOtOny.
The Island too is almost fat, and
there is no such mountain breeze as
fans your hiIl-tops here. Barbados,
with the Hotel that has recently been
opened there, is almost u Of the
question. 1t is much too far fr"m
New York, and the Hotel building is
a big place, entirely without shade,
and presenting few attractions. AS
to Florida, it takes now nine-tenths
of the Americans who leave the North
in Winter but | have met very few
people who would visit Florida q
second time if they knew of IA better
place to 90 to.
To use a commercial phrnse, the
market is almost unSupplied, while
the demand is annually increasing.
Every year more people in the North
are learning that there are lands of
perpetual sunshine within easy reach,
where health and pleasure may be
found, while our own lawns are bu-
ried in snow. The demand for COM
lOrtabIe Winter Resorts must always
incrcaSe-it can never decrease.
From what I have seen of this
Island, l believe it TO be the best
place in The " est Indies for il Winter
Resort, I have visited nearly all the
large Islands, and have seen none to
equal Jamaica IN beauty or scenery
or in climate. The ONLY island that
compares with il AT all in beauty IS
Martinique, and even there | think
the scenery inferior to many parts OF
this Island. There are Spots here,
both on the coast and in the noun
tains, where a hotel could be put to
such advantage that it would omly be
necessary to let Northern people
know Of if, to keep it constantly
filled.
Another strong reason for conSid-
oring Jamaica a suitable spot for a
winter resting place, is lis accessible
ity. The steamers bring paSScng rs
down in good time and very comior-
tably but there is another way of
reaching the island, which might aud
should be considered, Many people,
particularly invalids, object to a long
sea voyage; but by taking our fast
trains to Florida and then crossing to
Cuba, a visitor Il reach Jamaica
