from MIR. e. B. Cook and family, of Mid
dletown Springs, accompanied by the fam |
lily Of ex-Mayor Coursen, Of Elizabeth |
city, N. j., who are again stopping for the |
season at Mr.. Crooks. The party wishing
to enjoy days ride and a more extended
view of the country, came this way and
continued their journey as far as the Bor-
ough, where, arriving about noon, they
halted for rest and refreshments at the
Dandy hotel. After refreshments they
were invited by Mr.. Bond, the gentlemanly
and obliging proprietor, on a visit to his
fishing caufs and trout pond, which have
been fitted up In very convenient and
attractive style. Here, over 5000 trout,
in their various stages, are to be seen, from
less than one ounce in weight to four
pounds. These are valuable addition to
Mr.. Bonds premises, and are well worth q
visit to see them, and through his courtesy
the party were highly entertained. A ride
was then taken to Brooklyn, Mt. Tabor,
one of the most romantic spots to be found
in this section, after which the party re-
turned to Middletown, viewing with much
pleasure the magnificent and varied scenery
along the route. Mr.. Cook Is among those
who are entertaining boarders from the
city this season at the springs. His resi-
dence is situated about one-half mile from
from this beautiful village, on the Poultney
road, and is one of the finest locations
in this thriving and prosperous town.
| Elk Mayor Coursen and family, con-
sis.ing of seven persons, are board
| ing at Mr.. Cooks for the seventh sea-
son In succession, which fully attests TO
the good entertainment received from him
and his excellent family. No pleasanter
| nv lCualo ~ m no fpnNJ f,Nr hoo1th
and recreation than at Middletown Springs.
Beautiful scenery, pleasant drives, anu
everything which goes to make an attrac-
tive summer resort to the pleasure seeker,
or those seeking rest from the crowded and
busting city, is there to be found.
