Strictly speaking the October days havt
closed the season at the Hotel del Monte bu
the many guests who are now at this populal
resort find the place none the less delightful
The baths closed for the season last week anC
at first left vacancy, but the people are grad
ually learning to fill the usual swimming houl
from IL to II o'clock in the morning with
various other amusements, horseback ridinf
and bowling seeming to have the preference
Wheeling and driving of course well to the
fore in the estimation OF every one, but seem
ingly horseback riding is more universally
the idea of happiness upon these sun
shiny autumn days. There are also few
pedestrians among the guests, who delight in
an all-day ramble among the woody hills there
appear to gain many disciples.
