everybody who goes there returns with
superlative praises of that delightful place

wider interest is excited every season and
more people than ever are going there this
year. Ever since the assembly was organ
lied on an undenominational plan more
people have been going there to spend their
summer vacation. Last season 50 cottages
were erected and all the hotels and public
buildings enlarged. Everything was filed

made again and IS 10 100 new cottages will
be erected this year. 1t is estimated that
