breezy; the nights cool and refreshing.
All effort and conventionallty are relaxed,
each and every one follows the bent
of their own sweet will. The people of
Deerheld know good thing when they
see il, and how and where TO enjoy them
selves. A large party from there spent the
day hero yesterday playing billiards, bow;

made the time pass most pieasantly.
There we're some worry sweet voices among

Champion ten pin roller. the tie being be-
tween her aud Mrs. Peale. Both ladies
PLAYED excelleDtly, but when Miss Mont

The many romantic walks around the

turn in less than an hours tine. 1t must
be that the water is so fascinating they
cannot leave il. The dance after supper
