 summer resort. Its natural advantages

NeWtown is indeed a lovely place, and no wonder it's inhabitants are proud of it. One is reminded of the saying: God made the country, but man the city," and Newtown at this season shows the handiwork of the great Crea- tor, it's magnificent natural beauty ex- ceeding anything which man might hope to equal with all the accessories of art. There are two well known and popular hotels in the town, which are well con- ducted and equipped with everything to ensure the comfort and happiness of guests. The Grand Central Hotel is sit uated in the center of the town It is a substantial building with fine large rooms well furnished. and always kept scrupulously neat and clean. Surround ing the house are extensive grounds where hammocks, swings and summer houses contribute to the comfort of guests The dining hall is large and pleasant, and polite and attentive wait CTS are in attendance. The bill of fare comprises everything in its season of the best quality.
 A f1rst-class livery connected with the hotel affords facilities for enjoying drives which reveal scenery unsurpassed in the state.
 The proprietor of the hotel, ex-Senator M. J. Houlihan, is well and favorably known throughout this state. His friends are numbered by the hundreds in | New Haven. Always genial, he im- presses one favorably at first sight, and | Ion closer acquaintance" the finer quail ities of the man are revealed; generous and large hearted, he is always ready | to respond to any case where help is needed and while diffident and unosten- tatious and desirous of withholding from public view this phase of his char acter, those who know him best apprecl- ate him for his rare qualities of mind and heart, and Newtown has honored itself by placing him from time to time m positions of public trust, where he has acquitted himself to the entire satisfac- .ion of his constituents and to the bene- 1t of the town in which he lives. From present indications the Grand Central will have it's usual large number of sum- ner guests.
