farms there. Only two Of the farmhouscs remain,
and these leased to men approved by the 81 MI

cottagers and guests of tho hotel IN the
place. No one erect cottage except
on approval or by invitation Of the syndl-
cate The hotel IS owned and run by the syndicate
They also own tho little steamer that runs between
New Bedford and Nonquit and the wharf where IL
lands and no picnic parties are permitted to land ex
ccpt by written permission. All this naturally lends

good fishing I'm tho bay, and plenty OF partridge and
quail I'm the woods.

view of the Bay The cottage occupied last summer by

and roomy. but not large enough to accommodate tho
family and guests and the General engaged apartments
