Putnam's Island Camp.

The pleasure of a visit to II. w. Put
man, Jr's. island camp was accorded a
representative of the Free Press the other
day. Many have very frequently seen
Mr.. Putnam's name mentioned in CON
nection with Lake Champlain resorts and
the annual regattas, in which he always
figures conspicuously, but few only have
an inkling of what lovely camp he pos
sesses, in one of the prettiest places on
the whole lake. How he happened to
purchase this little spot has never been
told.
Mr.. Putnam has been lover Of yacht.
ing, a true yatchman, from boyhoOd up.
With his yacht from time to time he has
cruised from one end of the lake to the
other, and he knows its shores very we'll.
Once when cruising with his business
partner, he reached the bay on Saturday
evening and. conditions being unfavor-
able for proceeding further, they an
chored near aud pi'ched their tent on
the island. The next day he took a walk
around the island. He was intensely
pleased with it, the hdrbor being uneX-
celled, and the following year he pur-
chased it. That was seven years ago.
Two years later he built cottage and
made various improvements, building
water service, shelter for his boats, a
dock, house for his servant who takes
care of the premises summer and winter,
tennis court traps for shooting, etc.
His cottage, though not large is pretty.
INTELLECTUALLY. A large veranda is util-
lied during pleasant weather for dining
purposes, which is one of the pleasantest
features of the camp-life. Rainy days
are rolled lightly away in the billiard
room and at other games.
Mr.. Putnam has a sailing yacht and a
steam launch, both of which when not
in use are anchored only little way
from the cottage. His yacht the Thets
is probably the fastest sail boat of her
class on the lake. With her. he always
participates in the annual Tegattas at
Burlington and in 1898 he won the chal-
lenge cup away from the Nautilus, Mr..
Horatio HickOk's yacht. The Thetis
will cOntestin the clubs races again this
year. Mr. Putnam considers tennis, golf
ana trap shooting mere fadS and yacht
ing true sport of which one seldom tires.
He thinks that our people who have been
born and reared within sight of the lake
do not appreciate it. or take advantage
of it, He has travelled extensively and
is outs"Oken in the opinion that he has
yet to find such a beautiful spot, on
which To idle away his summer vacation,
as his island.

height of land is near the west shore,
which is even higher than the highest

She Liked The Story.

A half dozen young lawyers happened
together at the Court House in Birming-
ham, Ala, few days ago, and one OF
them remarked that he had told his wife
very funny story and she never cracked
smile, relates the TOY Times. So he
proposed that the Others tell it to their
wives and they would meet together and
report the result. The story was this:
A widow wishing to- hold communion
with her dead husband, wishing especi-
ally to find out whether he was happy in
the other world, went to spiritualist
and asked him that the late husband be
called up. In a little while it was an
nouuced that he was at hand. The weep
ing widow said: "Howdy, JOhn?" He
said: "Howdy, Sue?" She then with
voice full of mournfullness asked if he
was happy in his present state. The
spirit yawned and answered: "Yaas
bout as happy as l was on earth. Don't
see much change" Then she said:
where are you at, John?" He said:
"I'm in hell" When the lawyers met a.
gain they reported that their wives could
not see anything funny in the story, ex-
cept one and they called on him for re-
port, after the laugh went around.
IVA L." he said, II think I've got the
worst Of it. 1 told her the story in
very significant way, just like it was she
and /, sorter sarcastically and funny too
and then | was right full of laugh and
chuckled, and she turned round and said:
eff that had been your spirit, Jim, that
said that to me, l would have said you
were right where you ought to be-"

CORRESPONDENCE.
SARAToGA, N. Y, July 3lst. !

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 3lst, 1895.
Editor Of Banner: The health giving
waters, the beautiful drives, the inviting
hotel accommodations and the elegant
residences, which make this place the
resort of resorts, have not changed dur.
ing the last year, but there is absent
certain class of visitors who have
for many years been found here on at
tendance at the races, and the tone of
conversation which has filled the ears
of Saratoga's patrons. This is brought
about in great part by the action of the
recent Legislature with reference to rae
ing and gambling, which had been car
ried on to such an extent as to disgust
the decent, highminded and Christian
pleasure, rest and health seekers. The
former president of the place, Caleb
Mitchell who has pandered TO the wish
es of the betting and drinking classes,
has been repudiated by the town and one
of its best citizens, Mr.. Sturgess, an emf
nent lawyer, has been made president
with the view of making this famous re-
sort worthy place for the better and
the best classes of citizens to visit with
their families to spend the warm wealth
er, without the fear of contamination for
the young of both sexes in being thrown
into so close proximity to vice of all
sorts.
This reform has been longed for for
years and it is now hoped has already
begun to be accomplished by the help of
better laws and the Inauguration of bet
ter officers in the town government To
lU did in briDniny a hpnt
sirable an end, a course of twenty lee
lures are being given, consisting of four

Both, by eminent men of our country,
upon the most vital themes of the day.
Your correspondent had the great pleas
ure to listen to the first two by Bishop
j. p. Newman, upon Buddhism and Con-
fuciavism, in the Saratoga Opera House,
which was completely filled on the sec
ond day but was not quite full the first,
a very heavy rain occurring at the time.
An opening address was made by the
president welcoming the stranger and
giving hopeful view of the efforts of
the citizens. The outcome of such a
course of free lectures, as those upon the
"Four Original Religions of the World, {"
by Bishop Newman, four by Prof. Otis
T. Mason, L. l.. D., upon Ethnology, be-
ginning August 9th, four by w. H. Nc.

will attract the attention of men of NOR
ais, of science, of art, of literature and
of Christian thought, not only in our
own land but throughout the world. The
citizens of Saratoga are awake to the
past condition of things here and alive
to seize upon all opportunities to i'm
prove the social standing of the town and
make it village where visitors of the
best classes will delight to come with
their children of all ages, and spend the
whole of their summer vacation.
