A Mile South Of Vineyard Haven-NeW
Haven Guests and Talent.
Vineyard Haven, Mass, Aug. 16, 1899
My letter on the subject of "Innis-
fall with its environments, has, I re-
greet been necessarily delayed. Innis-
fail, located as it is, mile south of
is the terminus of the trolley system,
is practically isolated from the sum-
mer resort element which at this season
of the year dominates other resorts of
the island. In this fact lies one Of its
great charms,
The clubhouse and cottages are To-
Gated on lagoon some three miles
long, large arm of the sea connecting
with Vineyard Haven harbor. Here the
scenery is most enchanting, almost wild
at times. The frequent tramping par
ties organized for the purpose of find
ing arrow points, reminds us of the sew
eral Indian tribes which camped here
but few decades ago.
At Innisfail during the summer, ore
meets some of the most noted must
clans of the country. The proprietors,
Tom Karl the famous tenor, and Del
low M Dewey, the genial opera man
ager, well known through his connec-
ton with the Bostonians, are most pop
ular hosts. Innisfail is not a public
hotel, in fact, it is more of a club, as it is
often called or one large family. The
patronage is secured only by invitation.

resented and this year not few have
found their way here. Mr.. Leopold,
the vocal teacher, arrived early in July
and recently Mr.. and Mrs. e. A. Par
sons this being their fifteenth year;
Rev L. A. Parsons of North Haven,
Nathan Freyer Professor Parsons pro-
tege; Miss Isabelle Feutchwanger Miss
Kate Osborn, Innis Osborn, George Os-
born, Dr. and Miss Goodyear and Miss
Eva Bradley of North Haven, and yes
terday Mrs. Jean Pardee Clark.
A musical treat, of which there are
many, was the Sunday evening musicale
at which among others to appear were
Mr. Karl, Mrs. Theodore Foedt, soprano
of Bartholomew church. New York;
Master Freyer and f. A, Leopold. Mr.
Parsons was the accompanist.
A few days previous to the departure
of Professor H. W. Parker for Europe
charming dinner was given in his
honor, among the guests being Mr.. and
Mrs Parker, Mr., and Mrs. George W.
Chadwick of Boston and Signor Rotilli
of the New England Conservatory of
Boston, after which a most artistic pro-
gramnle was carried out
Innisfail has ceased to be known as
a school of music, although Mr.. Parsons,
Mr. Leopold and Mr. Karl all have
pupils studying with them.
A fancy dress bail last Friday evening
was an innovation to this sedate mu-
steal colony and proved a huge success.
The New Haveners were very attract
i've. Rev Mr.. Parsons and Mrs. Par
sons, his mother, appeared most charm
ingly as the lady and gentleman of we
olden times, as did Mr.. Leopold as
Prussian prince. Miss Feutchwanger as
a flower girl was excellent Many of
the young people from Vineyard Haven
were hidden and altogether a most en-
chanting scene was presented.
Several card parties each week and
TIE many llupltillplu ILLUSTRATES, 10
gether with bathing, boating, fishing,
golf, driving, cycling ETC., all help to
make the summer days pass far too
rapidly.
The first of a series of concerts In
which several of the New Haven peo-
pie will figure prominently occurs Fri
day evening at Cottage City, the next
being at Nantucket.
