quiet at this particular time" said
the manager OF one OF the popular hos
Stelries last night. "but I see no reason
for fearing that the present lull Will
last very long. July and August are
usually dull months with us, and, Of
course. we do not expect any great
rush during either OF them, but there
may be a pull up now and then which
will help to bridge over the nonpaying
season.. Business always looks up I'M
our limo about the first OF September,
and 1t usually remains good from that
time until spring at least"
This view appears to be entertained
at most Of the hotels. and an inspec-
ton OF the various registers shows thtt
comparatively few out-of-town people
arc coming here from day to day dur
ing the heated term.
