ers pay their devotions all along the coast and
even visit the city itself and partake of the
fine air and beautiful views that are afforded
from Munjoy, Bramhall and other points.
Yet change is often desirable on the part
of Portlands devotees and certainly of its
own residents. The query then is 'sWhere
shall they go?" Without detracting from
other and favorite resorts, we would call the
public attention to one of the most charming
and beautiful localities in the country, giving
a description thereof and the way "thither

LAKE wINNIPIsEoGEE, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Lake Winnipiseogee Is ten miles wide
widest part), irregular however in shape,
twenty miles long, and is reported to contain
the memorable number of 365 islands-nore
OF less. 1t lies northwest and southeast and
several bays penetrating far inland, affording
a number of pleasant retreats from the noisy
din of the world at large. 1t being on the
route to the White Mountains from Dover N.
H., renders it a grand cooler of the weary
and heated travelling public. Tourists thus
make delightful change from the dusty con-
fines of the cars to the invigorating breezes
and magnificent scenery of Lake w. before
staging it "over the hills and far away" to the
White Mountains. Nothing could be more
opportune.
PRINCIPAL RESORTS.
Alton Bay, Woltboro, and Center Hafbor
are the principal places on the lake frequent
ed by summer visitors. Alton Bay is %
miles from Dover, N. Fl. at the terminus OF
the Dover and Winnepiseogee railroad. 1t
lies at the end of long narrow bay or inlet
from the Lake and has several prominent at
fractions, including sailing. fishing, boating,
cunning &C., visits to Sharp's Mountains,
Lougie Pond with its tame fish &c. Being
the railroad terminus and lake beginning 1t is
busy place, on arrival of the trains and
steamers, and additional to its own attrac-
tions, it is much patronized as resting
place, between Boston and the Mountains.
The Winnipiseogee House, Daniel G. Wiggin,
proprietor, is the hotel at Alton Bay and is
kept in fine style. Mr.. Wiggn for many
years has been connected with the New
Hampshire House, Dover, and is an experienc-
ed host. His table d'hote is unsurpassed and
the place has been entirely renovated and re-
furnished. Connected with the house is a
livery stable, bowling, billiard room, boats
&c.
Notwithstanding this resort has been large
ly patronized Tor years, ii promises to be still
more so this and future seasons, as Mr.. Wig
gins is far and wide known as model land
lord. s.,s.. .f
Wolfboroughi is 60 miles from Alton Bay
and is one of the most romantic and attract
i've resorts in the whole State. 1t has largely
increased in popularity within the last few
years, much having been done by those In
terested in the summer business to add to its
attractiveness-were such thing possible.
Nature has made Wolfborough very healthy
place, as it is not shut in like many summer
resorts, trusting to artificial means to make it
rl.~sinsz It Ges on and between two emf
nences, long wide street running through
the village. Smiths and Rust's ponds, back
OF the village, and emptying into the Lake
and the high elevation of the locality, keep
the circulation Of air rapid and pure. 1t is
one of the sweetest places we know about.
The views from the different points are mag
nifcent, especially from Copple Crown and
Tumble-down-Dick Mountains and the Pa
vilion. overlooking the Lake, especially in a
moonlight evening. l astf8 isi
The Pavilion, A. L. Howe, proprietor, is a
commodious and airy house of modern style
and very convenient. 1t has been enlarged
within three years and is every summer large
ly filed with guests. 1t is pleasantly situated
on the eastern eminence and overlooks the
Lake, giving from the piazza some of the
most charming pictures of the region. 1t IS
admirably kept-and number one Metro
politan establishment. The cottages through
out the village are yearly filed with families
and boarders from the cities and the worthy
place becomes a lively resort. The dives
about Wolfborough'a are very fine slno'lA.
Center Harbor is 20 miles from Wolfbor-
ough and is a cozy village nesting at the foot
of Red Hill, and other eminences and for
years has been regarded as one Of the most
popular and desirable places of summer resort
in the country. 1t is the Northwest termin-
us of the Lake and the steamers from thence
return to their back trips. The Senter House
]. L. Huntress proprietor is finely kept, ani
every season is crowded with guests-a gooi
evidence of its excellence. The large expe
rience of Mr.. Huntress in Massachusetts as
in other parts of New Hampshire render his
house popular one. The Moulton House
S. F. Emery, proprietor, is also largely pat
ronized and deserves the praises bestowed
upon it. Among the attractions are Red Hill
Squaw Lake, and other localities. The APP
pearance cfthe hotel with its long colonade
of large and beautiful trees forms a charming
picture as you look from the steamer on ap
preaching the harbor. f0..n et aGa
