this week the guests have had more OPP
portunIties for pleasure than they could
well accept. To mention card playing
seems to reiterate the past, but it has
assumed such large patronage this week
and such deep interest in the games have
been manifested that 1t is again worthy
of mention. Every night the cottages.
parlors and every available place have
teen occupied by the ''cut and DEAL
gangs.
Then again golf has passed the limit
this week, and the tournaments have
been great In number. On Monday night
putting" contest was "on," and in the
light Of the majestic moon, with great
white rings made OF lime around the
holes, the golf balls were made to play
about just the same as il they had life
in them. Miss Morton. OF Louisville, KY.

golf balls, and won a beautiful vase. At
ter the contest was over delightful re-
freshments were served on the lawn to a
large number of players and other friends.

Philadelphia, Pa, and Mr.. George T. M.

Then following came lovely and en-
joyable piano recital, given by Miss Mil

the guests that could pack in the room
enjoyed 1t immensely.

to outdoor sports, and walking and driv-
ing parties continue to be popular di-
versions Every day almost Flag Rock
or some of the montain peaks are visited.
Large walking parties every day visit
Upon the mountain slope above Horse
shoe Bend" or mill Rock" while the
driving parties go to Fassefern gorge, on

but one ring at a time. but ono ring is
as good as the other

Ann Poe. of Baltimore. carried off the
ladies' prize, and Mr.. Clarence Knowles,
of New York, the gents prize.
A party went to Flag Rock, and there
served a luncheon and watched the sun
set, which, by the way, is one of the
prettiest scenes ever viewed with mortal
eye Far across the Alleghanies the sun
sinks beyond vision, and leaves the most
brilliant red glow with a reflection against
the clouds that is lovely beyond concep-
ton.
