will probably be moved down

1t goes without saying that the
lots upon which these cottages
stand, and the beach in the en-
tire vicinity, have been complete
ly transformed since they came
into Mr.. Blakely's hands. We
understand he has secured the en-
tire front between Cliff Null
around the cove to Mr.. Winship's
property, has cleared it of dense
underground of shrubs and small
trees, leaving only those of larg-
er and finer growth, has con-
structed a pleasant walk along
the beach, made two or three
"out-door-parlors" in the shrub
berry, which are furnished with
rustic seats, and he has general
ly opened up this end of the Lake
to the view of passers along the
road, and the entire head of the
Lake now forms a landscape dot
ted with charming cottages and
lighthouses, which can hardly be
,clipsed by any locality on the
shores of matchless Lake Morey.

LIKE pl0BEY."

The traveller alighting from
the train at Fairlee, finds pleas
ant little village, almost enclosed
on the north and west by semi
circle of hills, which on the north
form the Fairlee Palisades, a
frowning cliff of solid rock, ris-
ing several hundred feet above
the river. Just beyond the Pal
isade is Lake Morey. A brisk
drive of five minutes from the
station, past one or two fine
farms. brings one to the Pond
View Pavilion, a rustic hotel mes
tied in a beautiful pine grove on
the southern shore of Lake
Morey.
The Lake is a liquid gem, SUR
rounded by an amphitheatre of
glorious hills, with shadowy
mountain outlines visible in the
back ground. It is fed by never
failing springs, and its limpld
waters reflect the feecy clouds,
and invert the trees and cottages
along the shore. When you view
the Lake northward from the
Pavilion, the distant and pictur-
esque cottages and boat houses,
the back ground of rounded and
wooded hills, you will think that
nothing is lacking in the serene
and restful beauty of the scene;
but as you pass up the west shore
you may perhaps SUCCESSFULLY
choose "Birchmere," Central
Point" echo Dale" and Cliff
Null" as the best objective point
in this kaleidoscope of nature.
The Lake is historic as we'll as
picturesque. 1t will bear down
to posterity the name of that re-
markable and original man, Sam
uel Morey, who gave the world
the invention of the steam boat,
though Fulton gained the re-
ward. Morey's residence was at
the foot of the Lake, and tradi-
ton informs us that the boat that
contained the original engine was
sunk in the waters of the Lake.
The Lake for many years has
been noted for its historic asso-
Citations and picturesque scenery,
and was the scene of many picnic
and camping parties. Rev. Mr..
Blttinger was an early visitor,
and the graphic account from his ,
facile pen, aided in securing a {
better appreciation of the scenic {
beauties of the place. 1t was not I
until 1887 that any attempt was !
made to provide suitable accom- I
modations for the visiting public, '
when Mr.. Rogers of Fair1ee built '
the Pavilion on the southern
shore. The next season George
Spear built the "Glen Falls ]
House" at Middle Point. c
Samuel S. Houghton of the {
well-known firm of Houghton & t
Dutton of Boston, purchased the G
hotel in 1889, and also a large
tract of lake frontage on the f
eastern and western shores, and Q
began extensive operations, erect i
ed fifteen cottages and contem- i

that was suspended by Mr.. Hough- t

The Houghton estate last year
erected a fine boat house at an
expense of $500 and thoroughly
repaired the Glen Falls House.
The veteran landlord, Mr.. H. w.
Bishop, also manager of Hotel
Low at Bradford, has leased the
Glen Falls House and steamer,
and has furnished the hotel with
