NYAcK, July %. 1890 Camping parties
have been the features of attraction here
this week. and several white tents are
seen on the South Mountain and along
the bank of the Hudson. The campers
have had no reason to complain of in
hospitality or lack of company, as many
visitors have made various excuses to
visit them. and catch a glimpse OF the in
erIor of the picturesque looking abodes
The tent on the Hudson near Salisbury's
Point has probably had more visitors than
any of the others, but only because it is
nearer tosthe town. and can be reached by
less tiresome journey than those on the
mountains 1t has another lnducement
to attract visitors. and that is that one of
the young gentlemen who shall be name
less. has widespread reputation for
making good coffee. So good is it that
when the occupants of the row boats
that frequently pass by the tent get
Whit of the delicious beverage, they gen

ers should offer a Gun of coffee, but some
they will find out some more secluded
spot to camp. as too many visitors prove
troublesome

JUDGE DESSAR'S NEW RESIDENCE.
The fine residence of stone which
Judge Dessar has been having erected at
South Nyack is about complete and the
family are now occupying it. 1t is the
most elaborate and costly Of any of the
dwellings about here and commands an
exquisite view of the river and surround
ing scenery. When the grounds have
been laid out and the house has more
shrubbery about it Judge Dessar will
have one of the most beautiful country
residences to be found anywhere.
Among the departures of this week was
that of Miss Emma. Woodruff, of Jersey
City Heights, who was popular and made
many friends during her stay. The Tap
pan Zee Hotel has had fewer arrivals
than previously, as the house has about
its complement of guests. Ex-Muyor
