BuENA VISTA.
A New Summer Resort at Cape Eliza
beth.

At the southwestern point of Cape
| Elizabeth, Me-, seven miles from beautiful
Portland, there are four farms, the loca-
| ton and view from which far surpass
that of the celebrated Bar Harbor. The
land is very high terminating in Grand
| Mountain one mile from the shore and
gradually sloping down to the ocean.
Parties have been trying for several
years to secure this property for a sum-
| mer resort, but Mr.. Rufus Emerson Jor-
| dan who owned the middle and most de-
| sirable farm, would never sell in his life
| time single lot. He has recently died
and these four farms can now be secured.
CLANS, fish and Holsters are here in great
| abundance The New York and Boston
steamers pass this property within a few
hundred feet. From Grand Mountain
and from seven-eighths of this entire
property of over $50 acres can be seen a
most magnificent inland and ocean
view, taking in and visible to the naked
| eye, the White Mountains. Portland and
it's beautiful harbor, Casco Bay, the
ocean, the Two Lights, Higgins Beach,
Old Orchard Beach, Prout's Neck and
many islands. A greater than Newport
or Bar Harbor can be made here, for it
very far surpasses both of them and all
other resorts on the New England coast
in it's magnificent scenery, location and
grandeur of view. The property con-
tains two beautiful beaches and a spring
of as pure water as is to be found even
in Maine.
This property has just been bonded by
Mr.. Herbert S. Dyer of this city and a
| party of New York capitalists.
