Tine Hops at the HOtels-SOc1ety
at the Resort-The Canoe Regatta
other Notes.
Woodmont, the pleasant seaside resort,
is in its glory. The hotels are full of
guests, the many pretty cottages are filed
with residents, and the cool grove at the
Point is occupied by picnic parties nearly
every day. which is to say that the place
has q larger summer population than it
ever had before the present season. The
population at the resort is changing daily,
as some of the pleasure spend the
day there and return home at night, while
others who are in their business Offices
during the day are at Woodmont for the
night. Real estate there has advanced
considerably in value during the past one
or two years. A building lot near the
shore was bought two years ago for $500
and was recently sold for twice that
amount.
At the Pembroke hotel business is good.
All the rooms are occupied nearly every
day and the demand is such that the pro-
prietors contemplate building an addition
| to the hotel.
Business is fourishing at the Bonsilene
hotel, Mr.. Clark proprietor, where George
A. Law of this city is clerk.
The hops at the hotels are institutions
| at Woodmont. These soirees are given on
| every Saturday evening alternately at
| these two hotels. Last Saturday evening,
when the dance was at the latter hotel, a
| very large party was present. The
verandas were crowded, the hall and par
lors were we'll filed and others who occu-
pied the lawns were listening to the music
| The number present was estimated to be
| 500. This estimate was probably sxces-
| sive, but it indicates that the party was a
large one. The society at the hops is said
be very select. Young people are numer-
| GUS and older PERSONS are among the regu-
lar attendants. From the accounts of
these hops it is evident that many pretty
| love affairs have their origin from the
evening dances. What will result from
| these affairs will of course be decided in
future, but to say the least it appears that
very many desirable acquaintance have
been formed at this popular resort.
