old that it fairly looks blue-and thd ink and materi.
ais with which it is printed, smack d an ioa Of the
Old Style" modus operandi Itseens BY this notice.
which we give verbatim, that BantAm Lake was
fashionable resort by the pleasure seeking public
more than fifty years ago. Sail Boats were launched
into its bosom, and were then, as they are now en-.
joyed by the worthy people of those times. How
many generations have enjoyed the varied pleasures
connected with this Lake, we are not informed but it
is evident-being universally known throughout the
country as possessing many charms THAT least for
century it has been often visited by the larger por
| ton of our Illuminating and gay citizens.

to "draw the tea ?" And, again-perhaps the " Pond
Lily" Of 1888 was furnished with cabin-(no doubt
spaciousl-diferent from the fast sailing Red Rouer
of 1912 No wonder the past have, and the present
generation do, seek for pleasure here.

Rover, Mr.. +. MARSH, believe is ready to receive
on board those who are fond of contemplating the
wonders OF the mighty decp'-and no son Of Nep-
tune ever boosted better treat.
