The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-08-14

The past week, says the Boston
Journal, has seen great influx OF sum-
mer visitors at the resorts along Cham
plains shores and among the Green
Mountains, and it seems safe TO predict
that this will prove the busiest sea-
son for Vermont in its whole career
as resort state. 1t is noticeable fact
that among the "summerers" here
there are some of the best people of
the country-representin the metrop-
oils, the capital, the cultured centers of
the East and the busy cities of the
West and South-who have found in
| Vermont a state of marvellous health
fulness and of unrivaled scenic beauty.
Burlington has long been renowned
as most charming summer resort, and
this season it seems to be more pop
ular than ever. The hotels have been
busy for a fortnight, and many Of the
homes of the Queen City are also en-
tertaining visitors for the summer.
Yachting and fishing on the lake are,
OF course, the greatest attractions here,
and it may be added in this connection
that nowhere in New England is there
more sport for the angler and the
yachtsman than in the clear waters of
Lake Champlain.
Among the recent arrivals here are:
Justice Brewer of the United States su-
preme court, who is occupying a cot
tage at Thompson's Point; Judge Nc
Cormick of the United States circuit
court; Mr.. and Mrs. II. L. Billings,
Mrs. w. F. Baker and family and Miss
Florence Murray of Boston; Mrs. L. p.
Petit of Worcester, Mass; Charles D.
Wright and family Of Fergus Falls,
Mimi, and Messrs. G. r. Folsom and
H. M. Dougherty OF Boston.
A novel conveyance, carrying eight
athletic representatives of the New
buryport (Mass.) Young Mems Chris
tan Association, arrived in Burlington
this week. 1t was wagon fitted up
with all the necessaries and many of
the luxuries of life, and drawn by three
horses. 1t was provided with mat
tresses and bedding, cook-stove, and
locker for provisions. The party had
travelled 200 miles when it reached this
city. They will return to Newburyport
via Montpelier, and expect to reach
Newburyport in about three weeks.
Reports from St. Adams indicate that
the present season will be lively one
for that pretty town. Already scores
of summer guests have arrived, among
the most recent arrivals being Mr..
Charles A. Tinker and family of Brook
Ign, n. Y, Mrs. H. A. Brewer of Bos-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. Newton of

Some summer visitors who were
picking ferns in a pasture, just outside
of the village limits this week, came
across young fa~n, which didn't ap-
pear at all frightened at the sudden
advent of the fair visitors. Deer are
really becoming quite plenty in some
of the surrounding towns, and by the
Illle Iut law 10 III lJOO3 ILLS ScC~
ton of the state ought to be paradise
for hunters.
