DINING IN "GREAT RELIEF,"

Is entered after pasing through the narrow, tortuous passage called "Fat Man's Misery." It is indeed a relief for the aching bones of the visitor after threading the narrow path above mentioned and the dinner party in the picture seem to think so. One of the guides is pouring out some of Kentucky's unrivalled beverage, Bourbon Whiskey, for the relief of this companions.
