The season Just closing has been the
most successful for ten years. This
was largely on account of the excessive
ly hot weather. The season was short
ened by the fear of railroad strike.
The different meetings and conventions
were well attended and interesting,
especially the Moody Bible institute,
which brought a great many people to
the Park. This Institute will continue
TO be one Of the star attractions here.
Quite number of families still con-
tinue with US, as well as quite a few
others.
The new road, in course of construc-
ton connecting with the state system
at Weber's, is rapidly nearing compile
ton and will be finished before the
water sets in. This will be a great
convenience to our people, and when
completed to the station our JOY will be
full.
Many promises are made for next
season, but we have heard them before
and our faith is not strong.
Rev. Flanagan will preach his last
sermon before Conference Sunday
night, when the sacrament will be adj
mimstered, Brother Flanagan will
doubtless be returned. We understand
that it is his wish and we know that it
is the wish Of his congregation.
All the hotels and boarding houses
are open, and have some boarders.
Many Of the houses are occupied and
will be througout this month. During
the month of August the hotels and
boarding houses could not accommodate
the demand for rooms. MANY private
cottages rented rooms. Mrs. Schrock
fed eighty people a day, others did as
we'll
Miss VERNE Schrock, who has been
spending her vacation here, will return
to the Woman's Hos pital to resume her
duties Saturday.
A number of cottages have been rent
ed for 1917. Contracts have been given
for painting and remodeling several
cottages.
The sum of 1920 has been raised to
secure a Shoemaker road from the
terminus of the road on G street to the
B. & 0. depot This is somewhat in
excess of the amount required by law
E street from Oakland avenue will be
graded this fall so as to secure a FIVE
! per cent. grade from the State road.

a permanent one. This is the first camp
located in Maryland by the State. They

people. These campers will come to
the Park in a special car from Balti-
