BEST CONVEYANCE FROM NEW YORK FOR HORSES AND CARRIAGES Qf^ Marcu.- Founded upon a T{ock NOT AFFECTED BY UNUSUAL TIDES, NOR SEVERE STORMS. ALL IS HIGH, DRY AND PERFECTLY SALUBRIOUS. Indian Harbor Hotel Is located on a rock-bound point of land extending into the Harbor and Sound, and distant from the railroad station and village of Greenwich about three-quarters of a mile. The Hotel is built upon a rocky bluff, with a water frontage of over 500 feet, is constructed in the most substantial and elegant manner, and recently enlarged to the capacity of 250 rooms. Its broad porticoes are over 1,000 feet in length. It has been conducted under the present management for the past two seasons, and its appointments renewed and increased. THE PARLORS. THE parlors are the largest and most ele- gantly furnished of any summer resort on the coast. The Hotel has every conven- ience known in modern hotel-keeping — Electric Bells, Gas, Running Water, Tele- graph, Telephone to New York and other cities, and Steam Heat throughout, which during the prevalence of cold storms renders the Hotel very pleasant. THE DINING-ROOM. THE spacious dining-room is detached from the main buildings, has a ceiling thirty feet in height, and is entirely lined with hard woods. It is very attractive and located di- rectly on the water— facing south and east — with a full view of Long Island Sound for miles. This room is always cool and de- lightful. THE KITCHEN. THE kitchen being separated loo feet from the main buildings, unpleasant odors and danger from fire are thus avoided. THE CUISINE. AS to the cuisine, the host begs leave to state that its supreme importance as the leading feature of a first-class hotel is fully appreciated by him, and trusts his hotel experience, gained in the " Beach House," Sea Girt, N. J., the " Monmouth House," Spring Lake, N. J., and the " Avon Inn," Key East, N. J., will be a sufficient guaran- tee as to its excellence. THE WATER. THE water is abundant and pure, supplied by the Greenwich Water Co., and filtered by the celebrated " Hyatt Filter," not only at the water-works before entering the pipes, but again passes through an additional " Hyatt Filter," in the hotel, thus insuring a perfectly pure water beyond question — as certified to by Prof. C. F. Chandler, of New York, who pronounces it better than Croton. DRAINAGE AND PLUMBING. THE drainage and plumbing have lately been examined by one of the best known experts of the city, and approved as perfect by the Sanitary Engineer, New York Board of Health. The sewage empties into the waters of the Sound, and is entirely carried away by the tides and currents. BILLIARD-ROOM, ETC. THE Billiard-room, Bowling Alleys, and Cafe are in detached Buildings, and complete in all appointments. The Billiard- room contains six tables — four carom and two pool. THE STABLES. THE brick stables within the grounds are ample and fire-proof, with an abundance of running water for" all purposes. The ac- commodations for private turnouts are com- plete — Carriage-rooms, box-stalls, harness closets, Coachmen's rooms, etc. This de- partment, with a fine livery, will be under the direct supervision of the Hotel and the rates moderate. The best conveyance from New York for horses and carriages is by Steamboat " Maid of Kent," leaving pier 41, East River, foot of Pike street, New York, daily during the season at 2 P. M., direct for Greenwich. Grove and Beach. CONNECTED with the Hotel is a Grove of 30 acres of shade trees ; this makes with the water frontage a rare combination, and is one of the main features of the place. The out-door facilities for recreation and pleasure are also very complete. Yachting, Boating, Seawater Bathing, Fishing, and in addition. Archery, Lawn Tennis and Croquet Grounds. The Bathing Beach has been sectioned and made absolutely secure for ladies and children. Finch's Island (opposite Hotel, and but a stone's throw) is a most attractive spot, being a fine fishing point, and available for children's pic-nic and play-ground. A fine fleet of St. Lawrence row-boats, also small sail-boats for charter connected with Hotel. Select entertainments will be arranged during the season, and music of a superior character provided. Orchestra morning and evening. Greenwich Village. SITUATED on Long Island Sound, twenty-eight miles from New York, has long been noted as one of the healthiest, most charming and thriving villages in the coun- try. It is delightfully cool at all times, and entirely free from malaria and mosquitoes. It contains many beautiful summer resi- dences, notably those of Mr. William Rocke- feller, Mrs. Jeremiah Milbank, Mr. E. C. Benedict, Mr. A. F. Higgins, Mr. E. K. Willard, Mr. Frank Kelly, Mr. N. Witherell, Mr. R. M. Bruce, the new colony " Belle Haven," and others. There are also churches of the different denominations. The drives are numerous and the roads excellent. FOR business men whose presence is re- quired daily in New York, there is no summer resort which offers the advantages of the " Indian Harbor Hotel." The location is delightful, cool and attractive ; the com- munication (via New York and New Haven Rail Road), frequent, easy and cheap ; and the Hotel (an unusually well-built and fur- nished structure) is conducted in a first-class manner, at reasonable rates. Hotel open for inspection in May. Parties met there at any time by appointment. After June 1st, Mr. Yard or his representative will be in daily attendance. Address all mail to B. H. Yard, Murray Hill Hotel, New York, until June ist. After that date to Indian Harbor Hotel, Greenwich, Conn. * REFERENCES. MR.
