Its place is grown over with smooth Park grass the very site of it forgotten! and, a quarter of a mile down the lake, a vast hotel built in the railroad station style making up, I suppose, its fifty or eighty beds, with coffee-room smoking-room and every pestilent and devilish Yankeeism that money can buy, or speculation plan.
