Bethlehem, July 16.-The season of
1894 in the White Mountains is almost
two weeks old, and the prophets whose
self-supposed task it is to predict the
success of the season are saying II told
you so.n Those who predicted a verv
successful season seem to have spoken
truly, because there are a great man
people in the mountains, and letters ask
ing for rooms are coming to all the land
lords in great mum bers August will be
even more gay than usual.
The east side is very lively, and the
charming villages of Jackson, North
Conway and Intervale are full of life and
gaiety. The lovely drives around In ter
vale are in finer condition than ever, and
many very fine private turnouts are to be
seen here.

where the meetings of the American In
