| find little settlement known "rhe North
Shore, Northpor. This comprises some seven or
eight cottages, extending from the Camp Ground

| rises quite abruptly from smooth and sandy

| Belfast have located their summer homes, where
they may escape the heat and dust of the city and
find Il cool and pleasant beginning and end 10 the

was 'opcnina day Notwithstanding the intense
| heat it seemed success. Nearest The Camp
Ground find the cottage of Mr. Crawford.
Voices and signs of activity are everywhere appar-
cnt, and the treble of the voices signify that the
| ladies' arc there and something will be done. His;
retreat is cool and shady, affordng Il fine view Of
the curve of the shore in each direction. Next in
| order, after having descended and assembled the
banks of ravine, stands the roomy and attractive
cottage of Mr. AS: a. IIowes. High and of gen
erOus proportions everything is suggestive of
| freshness and summer comfort from the tastefully
painted outside to the trim and well kept surround
ings. At late hour Saturday evening the lights
