was all that could be desired, includ-
ing a generous supply Of longe, which
came from the deep waters Of Will |
oughby. A few hours spent about |
the house, the approach Of Capt. Az
erilps launch called the party to the
wharf. where they went on board for |
a ride around the lake. Willoughby |
is never seen to such advantage as on |
a boat ride around its shores. The |
high mountains towering up on either |
side at the south end; the almost end
less variety of colorings on the sur
face of the precipice on the east, the
figures of birds and beasts, and the |
rocky chirography, which the boat |
captain will point out and explain, |
keeps the imagination and the eyes !
on the alert as this section is crossed. !
Further on, where the forests come
down to the waters, and the rock
paved shores beat the waves into |
spray, or invite the boatman to spend |
an hour in hunting among the MOSES
and ferns, there is something all the |

along the west shore, where the sun |
falls behind the hills and the cool |
breezes come, the sight eastward is !
grand and magnificent. The noun
tains, the tinted sky clouds, the far
away hills and mountains in Caledon- |
ia county, and the widening prospects
to the north and eastward form pan
Drama that one will not soon forget. |
A short stop at the wharves, where |
the campers assemble, and the boat |
speeds away under the eastern shore
to the landing and the party repairs
to the hotel. The genial captain was
complimented on the beauty and speed |
of his new boat. After tea time is spent |
among the members of the craft in
discussing matters pertaining to bus
mess. A visit was made to the Van |
Arsdale cottage house, built several
years ago by wealthy man, who
spared not pains or cost to make it |
beautiful and pleasant. It has re-
Gently been purchased by the Cheney |
Bros. of Manchester, N. H., former
Vermont boys, who have reftted it
and made the place most pleasant and |
beautiful. Here the genial Fred Che
ney and his courteous wife made the
short stop most agreeable. Mr. Che
ney's people say that the deer, which,
under law, are multiplying quite rap
idly, are among their frequent visitors
coming out of the woods to gIaze on
the lawns.
The party decided to break up |
early on the morning ofsthe Sd, some
going to West Burke TO take an early /
train south, others to return to Bar
don Union and Bro. Bishop of the
Essec Co. Herald remained a day or
two longer, that the departure might
not break the equilibrium of things if
all went at once.

much enjoyed by all; certainly twas
by the members Of the craft in this

welcome those from else where.
