departed for Albany by special train.
The great and Astounding vitality

by the awakening of social activities

were provided in plenty. For exhil-
arating and delightful weather ex-
tended throughout the week, and the
call of the golf links, the tennis
courts, the diamond and the lake

the more active spirits and urged
them outdoors with a voice that they
could not disobey. The week, there
fore, passed pleasantly and rapidly
too rapidly, in factor the large
crowd of guests who are enjoying
every precious moment of their stay
here.
