The fine sulphur baths of the Fountain are in grateful remembrance of allwho have had the good fortune to enjoy them; the water comes from one ofthe hot springs near the Paint Pots at an elevation sufficient to send thewater to the bathrooms on the second floor of the hotel. On the little rise of a hill in front of the hotel near the road, to be seen fromthe passing stages, are the Mammoth Paint Pots, Fountain Geyser, ClepsydraSpring and Sulphur Pool. Back of the hotel is a hot pool used as laundry 155. A TALLYHO. boiler for the hotel linen. The Fountain is noted for its back-door boarders, the bears, that come from the forests on the east side of the rear of the house, one of the finest zoos in the Park. About two miles south and east of the hotel is the Great Fountain Geyserand Fire Hole Lake, well worth the while of a visit, even if it requires a stop-over, as they are off the main road; there is nothing like the Fire Hole Lakein the world, and the Great Fountain Geyser is one of the finest. There isgood fishing in the Madison and Fire Hole rivers and in Nez Perce Creek. OLD FAITHFUL INN—Who shall describe this most charming, mostunique, queer, quaint, fascinating place that is in a class by itself, with noneother like it in all the world in its positive enchantment, without exhaustingthe visible supply of superlative adjectives in all the dictionaries of alllanguages of the earth ?
