al church is an ornament to the village, and

HE WILSON,, Aug. 10th, 1891.
To the Editor of the Press:
"We came. we saw and were conquered :"
and we found here number of Portland
people who were taken the same way. 1t is
most charming spot and destined to be-
come one Of Names most popular resorts.
The hotel itself is just finished and was
opened to the public on July 10Th. and has
jumped into popular favor at one bound. 1t
is most delightfully."- situated upon very high
land overlooking the surrounding country
for many miles, and bringing into view a
landscape unsurpassed, with Its forests and
fields and silver lakes. The Wilson spring
water Is Of unusual purity. and is equalled
here is the celebrated Poland Spring and
there is delightful ride nearly all the way
through the woods, the OVERLAPPING bushes Of
the trees forming almost an arch all the way.
The "Wilson boys"will do all that man can
do to make your stay pleasant and comfort
ing another season. Maine is destined to be-
come the summer play ground for the nation !;
and every such resort as "The Wilson" adds
one more attraction to help on the hour.

Scarboro.
The game Of ball played last Saturday by
the guests of the tAtlantic House and the
Scarboro Beech nine was won by the
Atlantic nine by a score of 10 to 20. Quite a
number of people saw the game beside the
guests at the hotel.
There have been quite a number of schoon-
ers fishing for mackerel In the bay OIL the
Atlantic and Kirkw0od houses during the
summer, but perhaps after the unfortunate
meeting between Captain Jackman and the
tug Plymouth carrying Game Warden lCush-
man and the sheriffs they will not fish quite
as near shore as they have been Of late.
The summer season is at its height, the
shores and beaches are lined with people,
picnic's and hay rack parties are Of almost
daily cccurance. Soon all will leave for
their city houses, and the people of Scarboro
will loose sight Of the rush and hustle and
the contingent hand organ man and monkey,
performing bear and his not too finely clad
associates, bag pipe players and all that goes
to make up summer season by the sea.
Mrs. Chas. +. Walker gave tiddledy
wink party at her house to q few friends last
Saturday night. A fine collation. was served
and all had ine time.
