DEER PARK SEASON OPENS JUNE l 5
Splendid Improvements Have Been
Made at Mountain Resort.


The beautiful summer resort at
Deer Park, Maryland, which is better
known internationally than any re-
sort of the Allegany Mountain Range
south of the Adirondacks, has been
improved and made more attractive
than eyer. The tennis courts and
golf links are now Immediately in
front of the large hotels and are, there
fore, very convenient for use.
For fifteen years this magnificent
resort has attracted most fashionable
assemblages, not only from the East,
but from everywhere and consequent
lv has added to and extended its al
ready spacious grounds.
Large sums of money have been
spent in enhancing the natural at
Effectiveness and beauty of the
grounds, located at such an elevation
to give perfectly and pure and eXhil-
Grating atmosphere.
Five hundred acres is large area
to be covered by Il hotel and its en-
virOnments, but the nine, mile plateau
i'll this particular section of the Allie
gheny Range affords an excellent op-
portunity to spread out. There are
II cottages belonging to the hotel,
each having several acres of ground
Immediately surrounding it. EXPIRES
| ident Cleveland occupied one of them
for season while he was Chief Exec
utiYe of the country. The cottage
season will open on June 18th, while
the hotel will be opened on jane 24th,
under the management of Mr. w T..
Burwell, the most efficient Superin-
tendent of Hotels of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century there was great hunter
name Browning who owned nearly
all of the country in the vicinity of
| Deer Park and the country was con
sidered a paradise for hunters and
| sportsmen. In the course of time
| the Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad, which
naturally selected the great plateau as
a convenient place to cross the noun
tains, went through this territory and
accumulated much of the property.
1t developed upon that Company
later to see the advantages afforded
by the mountains in this section and
| establish a summer resort, with the
| consequent building of Deer Park
hotel. 1t Immediately became pOpu-
lar, and year after year, for Il period
of three months each summer, it was
the scene of many spirited con-
course of people.including presidents,
ambassadors, princes, AL helping tow
ard the gaiety of the place: 1t is Il
general thing for all the cottages and
many of the suites of rooms in the
hotel to be engaged year in advance,
and the prospect for the season of
1905 is equally as flattering.
Pittsburg, Washington, Balti more,
Philadelphia, New York and Cincin-
natl always have a full representation
owing to the convenience of the
through train service from these
points. \ great number come from
the South and while Deer Park is
never represented as a health resort,
it is nevertheless place entirely out
of reach of malaria germs, and hay
fever is unknown.
