those who. knowing the virtues of its
wonderful waters, flock here in search
of their elixir of life. Owing TO lack
of accommodations the. management
has been compelled, much to its re-
gret to turn away scores of these
since the list of June. Those who have
been so fortunate as to be able to Sc
cure admission here have had no lack
of amusement and entertainment to
speed away time but too rapidly.
Bridge. as elsewhere, seems to hold the
first place In the favor of those who
delight in card playing. while dear
old, progressive euchre, which always
found many votaries here. comes in
for its full share Of attention.
