AuE l.--Now that the season is fairly
under way at the Chalybeate and all the
rooms filed. the one fault to be found is
that the days contain only twenty-four
hours, for that is small space allotted
wherein one may do Justice to all the
pleasures offered us here. Not only a
number OF small entertainments, but so
many picnic parties. drives and rides to
surrounding places to arrange In the
space of twentyfour hours, and at the
Chalybeate the days seem shorter than
any other place.
The dlning-room is now filed, and
only one or two tables, which are en-
gagged. are now vacant and the linen
and all appointments spotlessly neat.
The fare is unusually fine, for the fresh
vegetables from the finely cultivated
garden on the place are tempting to all
appetities, as is the killed lamb
and beef. which is grown on the place.
Last week we had Mr.. F. B. Enslow.
OF Huntington, w. Va. who is prom
inent attorney Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway. He came over with his
Family and spent few days, promising
to return in August for longer stay.
