BRILLIANT FINISH OF THE SEASON.
PITTsBURG ON THE MOUNTAIN ToP-CoLD DAYS
AND WARM CoMNORT.


Cresson Springs. Penn. Aug 30 (special-with Mrs.
Harrisons arrival on Friday night. the fashionahie
Pttsburg colony has become good natured again.
The many delays and contradictory reports be-
came so vexatous that the patience Of most If
the people gave out, and several who had
postponed leaving here for their usual late sum
mer trp TO the lakes the seaside. In hopes Of
getting sight of Mrs. Harrison, go'e. Only
ten OF the cottages not incucng the Presidents villa,
are occupied. Mrs d. A. Stewart and he: family
closed their handsome cottage FRIDAY morning and
have gone 20 Conneaut Lake, and Douglass Stewart
goes ON Monday. The Thaw cottage has not been
omen all summer neither has the Edwards house.
Mrs Thomas Carnegie and her family only came a
fortnight ago and then with the intention Of staying
but a short time. The Schoonmaler cottage has been
open all summer but the Schoonmaker family not
ther, and James A.. Chambers, of Ridge-ave.,
Allcgheny and his family have the of it for this
season.
The Harrison party evidently eDjoved good
nights rest in the bracing mountain air. for IL
was 10 O'Clock (, day before any STIR noticeable
at the park cottage. Mr.. and Mrs. George W. Boyd
breakased with the party in the private dining
The baggage was brought up from the station, and
the ladies were busy during the forenoon arranging
things about the cottage. The day was bright clear
and pleasant, and drive to of the many places
Of attraction the mountain taken in the after
noon Dozens of guests arrived by every train, and
the hotel Will soon again De as crowded IL was IN
the heated summer months. Owing to an uneAp pected
pressure of public business, the President has been
compelled to postpone his departure from Washington
until some iimc next week probably Wednesday.
These are to be Mrs. HarrsOn's neghbors during her

are all the cotagsTs. OF course, among the 500 or
600 guests at the hotel there many more Pitts
burgers to say nothing Of prominent people from every
large city in the United states. But the Pttsburgers
prcdom nate for Cresson has always been essentially
P.ttsburg summer resort, and Pttsburger going up
there naturally finds himself at once much at
home. At the hotel however. II is plain to be seen
that the fag end Of the has come. for most Of
its guests at present are transient. During the last
fortnight nearly the entire fore OF the lgna gu sts
lett has been replaced by the later and these
again have gone and others av taken their place 1t Is
usual for the Pittsburg people to stop the hotel
but large number Of fashionable and wealthy families
drawn there by the possibility of Presidential visit
have spent the summer at Crcsson. The natural
result has been a gayety such Cresson has never
seen before.
There is every evidence that the exclusive cotagcr

agreeable surprise in store The cottage ! m c ,r

IL hardly possible u conceive has taken place.
Tno Wtatler cold everywhere, has been extremely 50
in these mountains and for the last week fires have
been burning throughout The house, making its atnUs-

Presidents family might have been occupying II all

apartments somewhat changed. The Old nursery

Although il had been arranged at first thai the
President and MS family should dine either In the
public dniugroOm or have tA-.r meals served al the

room IN the Mountain House has been turned into a
handsome little dinng-room for the occasion.
