NyAcK, july s. 1890. This pretty town
which has the advantages of both noun
tain and river pleasures has at last
awakened to the enjoyment of the sum-
mer. The hotels are opened, and the
large boarding houses and picturesque
farm houses have plenty of guests. The
cottagers have been out for some time,
and the town has assumed an appearance
of life and activity. The pretty suburb
of Nyack, Grand View has more
strangers in it than ever before. and
every cottage, some of them perched
high up on the mountain, and others so
close to the river the waves almost wash
their walls, have occupants. Indepen-
dence Day was but mildly celebrated any
where in the town, and the hotels had
nothing of interest going on. The Tap
pan Zee Hotel, which has most pictur-
esque location on point of the river is
delightful resort for summer time
Leading TO the hotel, which is a hand
some structure is an avenue bordered by
tall elms That form a perfect arch. Dur
ing one hour in the morning and for two
hours in the evening the orchestra, led by
Prof. e. L. Cranmer, plays for the
pleasure Of the guests.
Tonight the opening hop for this season
was given here, and the lawn and YER
andas of the hotel were ablaze with many
colored lanterns. The music was far SUI
perior to that generally heard on such oc-
casions. The ball room. parlors and cor
ridors were appropriately decorated
The ladies nearly all wore simply gowns
of fieecy white materials, although some
preferred costumes of more elaborate
style. These hops will be given every
Saturday night, and as Invitations are ex-
tended TO many of the caIlajers, there Is
always large and brilliant attendance.
The Prospect House, located high up on
the mountain, which, by the way, is
Mount Nebo, although the Oldest inhabi-
tant does not seem to know it, has also
many guests. The usual advertising
dodge, that Grover Cleveland would
have one of the cottages belonging to
this hotel was circulated early in the
spring. but did not prove as successful as
last year. The hops given here are quite
as brilliant as at the other hotels.
The Marquise de San Marzano, General
Schuyler Hamilton and Judge Beach are
among the distinguished guests. One of
the finest places here IS that of John ID.
Carscallen, of this city 1t is near the
Hook Mountain, in fact almost under it.
The large house is a mixture of gothic
and plain architecture, and stand high
up on a well kept and neatly terraced
lawn. Miss Carseallen drives out daily
in q stylish dog-cart. the drives through
the country are very beautiful. going
most picturesque nature. The roads are
well kept and lead all over the country
The hop given on the night of My
Fourth BY the Piermont Rowing Asso-
citation attracted many guests from
Nyack. 1t Wys held at the clubhouse at
Piermont, which was prettiiy lighted
and decorated. The season here prom
ises to be unusually brilliant and more
prominent people are expected here than
on any previous year.
