day with their families and friends. while
still others have taken airy apartments
for the entire season. Manager George

engage in some form of entertainment or
amusements. On the great lawns are ten
MS courts sections for croquet and cool
pOrches where ladies entertain at bridge
whist and euchre. The base ball grounds

of tie strongest teams of Washington and
