situsted ct foot of Mount Equinox. whose
summit is 1900 70. higher. The main
street is bordered by beautiful Iswns, wide
enough for tennis courts, oversrcbed by
century,old elms and naples. Under the
shadow OF these grand old trees are the
white marble side walks, and back OF them
the coy, home like cottages in their
emerald setting; the absence OF all fences
gives the spacious street the effect OF
pleasure park. In the centre OF the town
stands the Equinox Htt4l, perfect in all its
