A larger number of cottages are being put
up and are liable to go up about Willough-
by than in any previous season. At the
Foster grove G. E. Winter of Lyndon has
put up a pleasant cottage; Miss Kate Put
nam of Orange, Mass, is putting up a
large two-story cottage, and c.. j. Trefran
and Charles j.. Ruggles are each to put up
pretty buildings. DR.. e. G.. Stevens of
Barton Landing, who bought the Rev. J..
K. Fuller cottage, has improved the prem
ises by grading and setting trees. Mr..
Foster has imported a good band stand
and set it near his cottages and it will be
used for a band stand or an observatory.
He is preparing to fit up a feed stable in
the grove for the better convenience of
those who come in for a days outing or as
picnicers. Mr.. Carruth has completed his
house and his boat house and put a fine
boat on to the lake. A road has been built
on to the high knoll above Rocky Point,
where Charles Atkins and some East
Burke people will put up a large and cost
" house for themselves and visitors. The
site is high, airy and very pleasant. We
understand that it will soon be ready for
occupancy. This viii be one of the most
slightly places about the lake. The Gill
man hotel, which has a fine reputation in
all the vicinity, is having considerable GUS
tom at present, with a prospect that it will
be pretty well filled up through the remain
der of the season. Harry Gilman is hav-
ing a new sign painted in honor of Peter
Gilman, who built the hotel, and was the
moving spirit who caused the construction
of the highway along the east shore of the
lake-a great undertaking in its day. South
of the hotel parties from Burke and Lyn-
o are putting up cottages on different
sites and this locality will soon be quite
populous with summer campers The
boat builders are preparing for a larger
business in boating excursions. Captain
Averin launches his new boat this week,
which will be a craft capable of standing
the strain of a storm on the sea. 1t will
easily accommodate from sixty to eighty
e-xcursionists. @. A. Corune is also build
ing a new and large boat, which he soon
will have in running trim. At the south
end of the lake Mrs. Richardson expects a
large number of summer guests. Her house
is now open for the summer business. She
expects the Vermont Press Association
here to spend a day or two, the first of
July.
