SUBURBAN hostelry that offers a pleasant welcome at 
all seasons of the year. In summer one finds 
the pleasantest breezes upon its thousand and 
more feet of porches. In winter steam heat 
and a sun-parlor several hundred feet in 
length defy the icy blasts, and open fires in 
many of the rooms add to the home-like effect. 
First-class management and an excellent cuisine guar¬ 
antee one’s comfort. 
While social attractions are not wanting at any time, the height of the 
season is for six weeks in the early summer. The special attractions of this 
season are two.

THE INN FROM THE LAWN. 
The Philadelphia Horse Show Association, whose grounds adjoin those 
of the Inn, holds its annual exhibition during the week in which Decoration 
Day (May 30th) occurs. At this time Chestnut Hill is crowded with the 
best horses and the best people in the country, and Wissahickon Inn is the 
center from which all the life radiates. 
About a fortnight later the Tennis Tournament for the Wissahickon Inn 
Cup, and the Championship of the United States for Ladies, is held on the 
grounds of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, also adjoining the Inn lawn. 
Then again is the Inn monopolized by strangers, but the conversation 
has changed from*“ hackney,” “trotter,” and “hunter” to “rackets,” 
“serves,” and “volleys.”
