IsLEsBoRO The Bangor Wing says of Hughes
Point Visitors to this place report everything de
ghtful and exhirating. summer view of the
eastern islands from Abrams mountain will repay
a trip from Bangor. Eleven cottages have been
built here the past season and there are more to
follow. Some when completed will be very fine. A
lady artist from Washington is taking sketches of
the picturesque scenery. Mr. Bracket of Boston,
who has bought the lower end of the island, is
cruising in that vicinity with his steam yacht. The
wharf completed this season is very substantial
structure, having fifteen feet of water at low tide
for vessels to float in, SO that large steamers
come up without getting aground. The growth of
this place has been rapid and probably another year
will witness 4 larger increase.
