run House. Manitou. Sept. 2.-(spec-
ri1-The summer season now drawing
u close has {. cen one OF the most
. ,-ltlant and successful seasons in the
+ history Of this delightful hotel. From
I Ia nrst day It has been filled and
,nsny times hubbling over with summer
1 s,inurners and mountain tourists. 1t Is
4 BEAUTIFULLY situated on the cliff at the
foot OF Williams canon. which is one
4 az the most charming drives about
4 here Its grounds, communicating, as
,hey do. with the popular Soda Springs
4 mark. are spacious and exceedingly pic
4 fresqiie. with the sparkling waters
N Ruxton creek dancing and splashing
4 ali day long along their fiowery banks.
4 his spot is a delight to young and
Il IA alike. and not one who comes but
a what wants to llnger. While the house
4 now Of extensive proportions and
\ modern appointments, stu its pro-
psietor Mr.. f. r. Nichols, has found
4 4 Inadequate for the large patronage
4 enjoyed by the house, and so contem-
4 plates enlarglng and remodeling the
4 entire structure before next season.
4 This done. II will be one Of the most
4 spacious, as It now is one Of the most
attractive In Manitou What makes
4 Il 80 especially delightful to the stran-
n ger is the unceaslng and courteous at
tentlon Of the management, who do not
Il seem TO think that u room and three
n meals day Is all sufficient for the
a happiness of the average man, but
everything Is done to make his stay
one OF pleasure and profit Besides
\ climbing mountains, delving into caves,
q riding up carons and drinking water,
dances and cards, music and tableauN
are eleverly sandwiched In rule-du-
- fgeuer, al fresco and otherwise. If one
I wants to be quiet, there are cozy card
and reading rooms. If one wants to be
cay, there is the brilliant whirl OF tho
ballroom, the genial set of the billiard
room and the pleasant chlt-chat OF the
balcony. Time never lags here; the
chronic case of boredom is not seen and
tnnul Is unknown.
Both the summer girl and the sum
rer beau, In all their variations, have
been en- evidence all summer at this
hotel, and, as one is as necessary
IS the other to the success OF the sea-
ton. the combination was unusually
n basted; tennis and tea. dancing and
dining, riding and driving, following
last on the heels of each other,
Any fine morning one can see a party
from young swelldom starting out

passes and canyons that link this
