hotel shows large increase the past
week, and many latter season visitors
have arrived or are due in a few
days to spend what will doubtless
prove to be the best part of the sum

DR.. p. H. Devine, Edward D. Orpen,
George B. Hastings, and j. J. Nc

appearance OF the sun and the abb

downpours.
Long Island in general had rather
poorer season the first of the sum-

standard and with a good September,

despite the rainy months preceding.
