The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-07-23
BY MORE ANON.

AS items are more scarce than rain
for the past few weeks, we have de-
layed in giving the doings of Deer
Park and vicinity until the copious
showers have passed and the sun
breaks forth this afternoon in all its
splendor and revives our dropping
spirits; and we feel again like giving
the readers of THE REPUBLICAN items
of interest from this the mecca of our
own native county, and try in our
feeble way not to let our sister resort,
Mountain Lake Park, eclipse us
through the medium of the racy pen
of the fair correspondent, IN. A. Y, y
Of your contemporary.
Item No. / will be the famous Deer
Park Hotel, and from our gleanings
we find is rapidly filling up with the
elite of the land and under the able
management of the new regime and
the western push of that cautious
manager, Col. w. E. Burwell, is fast
coming to the front as the best
equipped hotel in this or any other
laud. The rich viands that are served
up by that master of the culinary de-
part ment, Mr.. Orbello, and the rich
strains of music of the Annapolis
Naval Academy Band, presided oyer
by the courtly Prof. Zimmerman.
The first named capiYates the gentle
men, the latter the ladies. The old
adage comes to our mind, "You can
only reach a mans heart through his
stomach but you know music
charms lady's ear, and the Colonel
realizes this and gives his guests the
best the land affords. The writer
heard a lady say that Delmonico's
could not excel this famous hostelry.
So much for the hotel.
"Fairview" is having its usual
quota and all speak in the highest
terms of the hostess of this popular
resort, with its magnificent grounds
and home comforts.
pleasant Rest is getting it's share
of patronage, and we notice the genial
and cultivated gentleman, Capt. w.
H. Dryden, and his accomplished wife
and fair young daughter domiciled at
this pleasant and beautiful home.
Mountain Home" the once popu-
lar home for ladies and persons of a
nervous temperament, owing to its
distance from the noise of passing
trains and noisy children, is rented
to private parties for the season, Mr..
and Mrs. Hiss and family with her
mother, Mrs. Bailey, of Washington.
Hotel de Lashorn," noted as in
days of yore for its splendid repasts
and kindly smiles of its hostess, has
been renovated and receives its usual
transient patronage.
Give Cables one of the new re-
sorts situate on Quality HILL on the
corner of Church and Green streets
and opened for its first season, al
though the clouds have been lower
ing and rain pouring in torrents, yet
with all these discouragements is
meeting with splendid success, and
we find on inspecting the register
that Mrs. A. G.. Orbello and her two
daughters, Misses Maysie and Edith,
of Washington; Mrs. Daniel Entler
and two sons, Paul and William, OF
st. Paul, Minnesota; Mrs. L. G. Hen.
erickson and daughter, Miss Camille,
of Washington, are guests.
So much for the popular resorts OF
the town of Deer Park. Now as &c
our suburban summer residents.
Hon. John II. McGraw is now eX.
tending the Inequalities of his mag
nifcent home to his many friends
both of church and state, that home
of all the splendid homes of the SUI
burbs, midway between the B. & O.
Hotel and the town proper, where
Grant, Cleyeland, Harrison, Bayard,
Pendleton and other great statesmen
were so often entertained by the gen
ial, personal friend of all, ex-senator
H. g. Davis; and last, but not least
of all the fair galaxy of statesmen, the
peer, yes more, the superior of then
all, was so princely entertained by the
gallant Colonel McGraw, its present
owner, both in the campaign of 1884,
and 1900-need l mention his name
to you, Mr.. Editor, but for the bene
fit of your hosts of readers may say
the great candidate of Democracy
and that splendid specimen of Amer
lean young manhood, Hon. William
Jennings Bryan, "the orator of the
Platte"
J. Swan Frick,o Hunting Ridge,

palatial summer home. This socia
