AT THE WEIRS,
Lake Winnepesaukee, N. H.,
AUGUST $40, 1896.
THE WEIRS.


This popular summer resort is situated on the
western shores OF Lake Winnepesaukee, one
hundred miles from Boston, on the Boston &
Maine Railroad, and same distance from Fab
vans. Commodious steamers make close con-
neciions with trains between Alton Bay, Wolfe
borough, Centre Harbor and The Weirs. The

of the most famous summer resorts in northern
New Hampshire. 1t now contains three large
hotels, besides several smaller ones and board
ing houses, with three hundred cottages and
dwellings. Five express trains daily each way,
all stop at this station. No more convenient
healthful or beautiful spot can be found this

the distance in restful bliss. 1t is twenty-three
miles in length. and on its surface are some
three hundred and sixty-fve islands, many of
which are inhabited and teeming with life and
joy during the summer months. The lake is
well stocked with trout, pickerel. bass and
perch. Steamers and pleasure yachts are con-
stantly plying its waters. Indeed, this wonder
full CLEAN of natures own must be seen to be
appreciated.
