Nyack report a good inquiry for houses for the
summer and improved demand for all-year
leases. From the reports received from brokers'
offices Il appears that the popularity OF Nyack
among New-York people who spend their summers
out of town Is increasing and the coming spring
and summer will large increase both In tho
transient and permanent population This is the
time of the year when people are looking about Tor
houses. and there has already been surprising
movement in Nyack among homeseekers from other
places. The hotels and boarding houses have also
already received applications from prospective sum-
guests.

fined almost entirely TO the men, has reached the
young women. and Nyack society will see, just az

young women flying through the town on wheels.
