 The attractions of Mayland Park are strong ones, inducing repeated visits from one who has first tasted them. Until last season it was chiefly the people of South bridge who enjoyed them, but the consid- erable number of our own people who then sought out this lovely place is in- creased, and will increase. The beauty of the spot is in it's natural wildness, which the proprietor seeks to have rather than subdued. The eff fort of MT. Howard, the proprietor, is at development rather than change. The end that nature seems seeking for is en- couraged. Cottages are built with little disturbance of the contour of the ground. The grove is simply kept clean and clear ed of excresences and dead wood. The soil is light, and generally the hardest rainfall is quickly absorbed, and the ground is never damp if it has had the briefest interval of sunshine since rain. The shade is just thick enough. One marked feature is the dry, wholesome at Malaria or lung troubles have no place at Mayland Park.
 Next, the vicinity is rich in fine natural scenery. Within easy rowing or walking distance are several points of attraction. Visitors are never at loss how to dis pose of their time. The lake affords fine fishing, and to row upon it is always a pleasure, the many islands and bays ever opening new vistas of scenery. These at fractions will ever keep Mayland Park in high favor as a place at which to spend a summer outing.
 This week Mrs. Brockbank and friends from Stafford Springs are occupying the Bidwell cottage.
 Last Sunday dinner was served at the Mayfower to over forty persons, in the number being included members of Citi- zens' Band, who spent the day upon the grounds, and made the grove resonifd to the tones of their instruments as they gave forth airs fitted to the occasion. The band has large repertoire of sacred music, which was we'll drawn upon during the day, the broad veranda of the May flower giving shelter from the frequent rains to the musicians and large crowd of listeners. ...
 Dr. E. N. Clark is guest for the week at Camp Leach.
