somewhat superior to the Yale students

occasion.
On the day Of the regatta, the boats came crowd

This fine hotel has delightful location, just a.
the head of the lake, and is at present crowded to
overfowing with strangers from all parts Of the
country. The weather is quite cool-the bathing

that you can sit and see the fish playing round your
hook-the scenery unsurpassed, and everything
seems to conspire to render this one OF the
| pleasantest summer retreats in the country. A
couple of fine little steamers furnish opportunities
for very pleasant trips to the different points upon
! the lake There are also numerous sail boats IN
readiness for fishing, or cruising about among the
islands Several parties organizing for trip to
the Red Hills to morrow. The view is said to be
very fine, comprising not only Lake Winnepiseogee,
but some half dozen other lakes, visible here aud

on Thursday, at which shall endeavor to be pre-
sent, and furnish your readers with an account.

band, marched from the Pavilion to the wharf, aud
rowed about the lake, for the qualification of the
townspeople.
In the evening, the boat clubs met at the Paw
lion at Marlborough, and passed several resolu-
tions, expressing their qualification at the treat
ment they had received, and their thanks to the
committee of arrangements after which they re-
ceived sufficient funds to pay their expenses their
respective colleges Te whole affair has passed
off finely, and, as far as can learn, to the entire
satisfaction Of all parties. An invitation has been
extended to the clubs to their visit next year.
which will doubtless be accepted.
The affair winds up with ball ut the Pavilion,
this evening, which bids fair to be fine one An
invitation to dinner, for tomorrow, has been ten
