THE SPIRIT OF ‘76. Willie Sparrow—" My! wouldn't mother be proud to see what a brave son she has."" Queehawkett Notes. HE Sand View House, which was to have opened for boarders next Sat- urday, has postponed the opening for two weeks longer for repainting, a large flock of June bugs having alighted on the recently applied paint before it was dry and been stuck there. The Sea Crest has had a narrow iron bridge run from its rear piazza down to the bathing houses on the beach, and with characteristic enterprise has an- nounced as an additional attraction that it now offers a ‘*bath connected with every room in the house.’” The old dark-room in the Bella Vista House, formerly used by the Quee- hawkett Camera Club, has been enlarged this season and will be devoted to the uses of engaged couples on rainy days, when the summer houses in the pine grove are not available. Owing to the large number of com- plaints made by the patrons of the Ma- ple Tree Inn last season, the manage- ment has had a large knocker in- stalled in the office, for the special use of those who object to the service, food or general condi- tions of things at the inn. The High Point will be run finan- cially on the club system this year, all guests’ accounts be- ing posted in aconspicuous place in the office and kept there until paid, further credit being refused after an elapsed pe- riod of ten days from date of posting, On account of annoying delays in the installation of the hydrau- lic power service at the Rockhill Palace Hotel, the new elevator put in this spring will not be used this season for the pur- pose for which it was designed, but will be remodeled into a cigar and embroidery stand for the convenience of guests of both sexes. The scarcity of labor at Queehawkett having made it impossible for the pro- prietors of the Squinnipiak House to have their roof reshingled this season, the managers have made a virtue of necessity and are letting out rooms on the top floor, where the leaks are most persistent, for shower baths. They will be greatly in demand during the rainy season. G It is pleasant to announce that the subscriptions of the guests of all the hotels of Queehawkett last season have amounted to enough money to send the village band off ona three months’ tour of South America, starting July Ist. It begins to look as if, in spite of the fact that this is a presidential year, we shall enjoy a quiet summer at Queehawkett. The Chamber of Commerce should ad- vertise the fact of the band’s absence as widely as its means will permit. Actuated by a desire to put a stop to piazza gossip this season, the enterpris- ing managers of Pinehurst Lodge an- nounce that they have placed a series of dictagraphs: along their whole piazza line, upon which all conversation will be immediately recorded and transmitted to the office, where it will be transcribed and published in the Pinehurst Daily Tattler, a copy of which will be placed beside the plate of every guest at the next morning’s breakfast table, the sources of the information as to the private lives of uthers being stated in full. This at first may give some of the guests a chill as they meet at breakfast, but it will get warmer during the day. comicbooks.com
