Mokanshan, Sept. 1.
Judged by the number of visitors, this has been the best season in the history of Mokanshan. Improved transportation explains it. A good deal of property has changed hands and many are looking for building sites. Children are healthy and happy all the summer. More is done for them than any other class.
The New Assembly Hall to seat 600 to 800 persons is now assured. Arrangements are already making for next year's activities. Mr. Clement Pape, resident agent for the association, will look after houses, roads, new buildings and property matters. A large hotel to be built will provide for the increase next season. Families desiring summer homes close to Shanghai will do well to arrange early.
