hotels' gives indication that there will
be more holiday 'visitors here this
stinamer than for a considerable num-
ber or years.
•
While there are quite 4 nuinber'ef
visitors already here, it will be the
first of next week before they really
start rolling in. Present indications
point to a majority of thevisitors being
from the United States, with the rest
from other parts of Canada, principal-
ly from Ontario.

Saturday, the Sunset Hotel expe,ets to
be pretty well filled up by the end
of this week Or the begitining of next

in since Janaary not only from Canada
but from many States • south of the
border. From Ontario she reservations
have -come principally from such,
centressas Toronto. Windsor, 'London,
Brantford and 'Galt.
Officials at. thesSiinset Hotel look for
more tfansient trade this slimmers --
more visitors, but people who will stay
for a briefer period of time than last
year, moving on to other places because
their ears now have the gasoline and
tires to do so.
Mr. 3. A. Wilson, manager of the
Park House, which was considerably
damaged by fire last December, states
that by the end of this week the entire
three floors of the hotel will be ready
for tourists. •A gang of workmen are
speedily completing the repairs to the
exterior • of the building, which will
be in stucco. Two additional rooms
will be available in the renovated in-
terior.
Mr. Wilson estimates that sixty-five
per cent. of his guests are U.S. tourists.
.from as far south as Kentucky, but
principally from Michigan, Ohio and
New York States. The demand far
accommodation this year will, as in the
past, exceed the supply, Mr. Wilson
believes.
tourists are commencing tp arrive at
the Goderich tourist camp. Most of
the cars so far are from Ontario, with
many from Lendon and Stratford.
