East Lamolne aud its Surroundings.

The past week has been rather juicy. a
Ii regards the weather but Sunday and
Monday open the coming week with more
propitious signs Nevertheless the arri-
sal- at The Pavilion cafe have been larger,
and the travel by the ferryboat has gradu.
ally increased.
W. have noticed particularly that the
travel by the ferry, judging by the stylish
eqUipages and the general high toned bear
ing OF the ladIe. and gentlemen, that they
aerr visitors from Bar liarbor and other
places OF resort on the island Of Mt. De
>ert who were taking 10 this direct com
munication for viewing the panoramic
views OF the gem of Frenchman's Bay"
we'll Lamolne especially that part Of
IL which il fast becoming known a.
proper place for summer sojourners.
one Of our citizens remarked in our
hearing that Il any one had prophe>ied
that this usually >taid and quiet hamlet by
the should become in 80 short space
II time so busy with travel. he could not
have believed 1t. He said. II have seen
more vehicles on our street in one day the
past week than in months Of my remem-
brance half century ago, and my doubts
about this town Of ours becoming a first
class watering place have entirely vanish
ed
IL is pleasant 10 know that the old feel
ing of jealousy by our pioneers against
new claimants for public notice las been
for some few years past giving way, and
this new agency for intercommunication
(the ferry has caused the last vestige to
disappear and we shall find that only few
years in the near future will find this glori-
Gus bay of ours, at every point, studded
rssk 10.
only pleasure but health and recreation
seekers shall be found crowding our streets
in this admitted sanitarium, the shores of
Frenchman's Bay.
The Pavilion cafe In the short time it
has been open has become famous for its
cuisine, for its splendid halls, large and
small. public and private, in which it is
served and the respectful promptness which
is manifested by all whose duty it is to
care for the guests at all times. The
buildings are in that state of completeness
that visitors win fiud that no pains or ex-
pense have been spared in making this es-
tablishment second to none on the New
England coast and we bespeak for it that
patronage it has a right TO claim in the
loveliest month of the rusticating season,
September. The visitors are Of high
class and are only in numbers, the advance
heralds of the coming host of kindred splr
its ladies and gentlemen of the higher
walks of society and who are sustaining
positions in shaping the growing progress
of our great nation.
We cannot at this late date of writing
lay claim To long list of arrivals in town
from various and in many instances very
distant states of the Union, but our
guests will remain a sufficient length
of time TO give Us time to give a
welcome recognition. At hotel Gault
they are having quite anumber of
arrivals, for if few guests are neces-
STATED to leave, their places are soon more
than filed and some have taken steps to
have their vacation extended through Sep
TENDER, SO that this house will do fairly
good business this season.
We shall have to let some notes lay over
TO our next communication, If We expect
that you will give Us space for this late
and unavoidable partial list of sayings and
doiDgs at and around this place.
