T.. NJ. Cartwright, who Tor several sea
sons mast was manager of the Allegheny

lie is a young man who enjoys the
good things OF life and endeayors to place
them In the way OF others.
The hotel has the advantages OF country
and the conveniences or city life.
Jefferson Park is favored by nature
win a most beautiful situation on slope
of the Blue Ridge, high up above the
city OF Charlottesville, two miles distant.
With the blue hills at the back and the
valley lying below, it commands magn.
ficent view OF Albemarle. which Is called
the garden spot OF Virginia.
A beautiful tennis court has been laid
off on the lawn, and great many i'm
provements are noticed ABOUT the IoOpy
and yerandahs.
A fine string band entices us into the
diufng-rOOm at each meal hour, Where
healthy appetites, sharpened by the ex-
hiarating air and draught from the
iron spring for which the resort Is known,
do ample justice 10 the tempting fare
prepared by the chef.
The ballroom IS thrown open to the
guests directly after supper, and dane
ing is INDUCED in until the last car leaves
for Charlottesville. A particularly fine
electric service is In operation between
10 OH w
the hotel easily accessible TO tho l25 stu
dents at the University who are taking
tho summer law course under Judge Har-
Ian, OF the Supreme Court.
Having these TO draw from, beside the
young men of Charlottesville, the summer
girl IS provided with beaux galore and
naturally finds Jefferson Park an earthly
paradise.
Where there are so many young people,
a german can be gotten up in short or
der, during the past week there have
been two given in which thirty couples
danced through the graceful figures.
DRIVES.
There arc beautiful drives through the
mountains which lead directly TO Ivy,
Pantops Academy the University and
the Mccormick Observatory, whose tele-
scope ranks fifth in the world. A short
path through the woods takes one TO the
top Of tho mountain, where the great
glass stands mounted, and on moonlight
evenings permission is obtained for guests
OF the hotels To enter the tower and by
means OF = ladder hung at the side 10
look at the man in the moon.
When His Majesty deigns TO smile upon
his admirers, the radiance is so dazzling
that they are blinded as by a flash Of
lightning, and the descent OF the narrow
steps OF the platform IS made with
cropping hands ana stumbling feet.
1 don't know how the girls learned that
there was u man IN the moon. but they
are the ones who ought TO know. one
told me conhdentaly the other night
that she saw him wink his other eye.
The Germans have a funny idea OF II.
They say Der Mond." and when L in

supposed IL was because the moon got
full and stayed out late at night"
