Correspondence of The CALEDoNIAN.]
Life at Fairlee is at its height all but
two Of the cottages are occupied; the
hotels are full; fishing is good, and all
told, all who are here seem to be enjoy
ing life, as is always the case with those
who stop at this favorite resort. The
"Pavilion"is this year run by p. J. Haley
OF Wells River, who is having good
custom besides entertaining many picnic
parties. A party came last Friday from
Thetford, and that evening a dance was
given, which was well attended and
enjoyed notwithstanding the rain.
Many people stop here also to get
drink from "Morey spring" which is the
finest at the lake, and many say it is the
best they ever tasted. Among the guests
at the Pavilion" are: Mrs. H. A. Win
ship and Miss Marcia Winship OF Brad
ford Rev. David Wallace and wife OF
North Troy and Mr. and Mrs. Stone OF
Hartford. The next cottage is owned
by Rev. I. p. Frost formerly Of st.
Johnsbury, and will be occupied for five
or six weeks by Rev. and Mrs. Frost,
Miss Virtine Frost and Philip Frost.
Your correspondent next called on Mr..
Bracy, the photographer and all around
sportsman. AS usual he had many inter
esting anecdotes to relate, and showed
us white hedgehog which he captured
alive over year ago, a fine lot of black
bass in his fountain and his new naptha
launch, which is beauty. We called on
E. 6. Tracy of Haverhll, N. H., who
showed us his new cottage and steam
launch, made entirely by himself. At the
Glen Falls House we were unable to find
Mr.. Bishop, but learned that the house
was full. We found here P. A. Prior, for
merly of st. Johnsbury but now of Nal
den, Mass. The scenery about Middle
Point is fine, and it is hard to find the
equal of the walk up to the falls, it is so
cool and shady. From there around the
lake the drive is very pleasant and many
surprises in the way of scenery are found,
and as you come into the village once
more, you are struck with the beauty
and grandeur of the cliff back of the
Winona House, which house is now full
of guests party OF II arriving Tuesday
afternoon from Boston and vicinity.
The first cottage on the east side of the
lake is owned by H. P. Warren and at
present is occupied by N. B. Hazen and

present occupied by five st. Johnsbury
boys as follows: John and Don Cameron,
James Cushman, Harry Lovejoy and
Don Stiles. From here one can 90 by
boat to WILDWOOD" where a party of
II young people from Oxford, n. H., are
staying. A tent was on the grounds
adjoining in which some of the boys sleep
IN preference to the cottage. At "Morey
Cottage the families of c. ]. Berry and
I. b. Dodge of LyndonviIe and c. F.

tortably housed. They also occupied

Aldrlch and families of st. Johnsbury,

Fish are reported as being quite plenty
this season. Many black bass, pickerel
and perch are being caught every day,
and occasionally a salmon is landed.
Hunting is also 6rst-class in this locality,
and as soon as the season is open sports
men not few will flock here for small
game, which it is reported will be plenty
this season.
Lake Morey is certainly very pretty,
and, with Fair+ee's many other attrac-
tons, excellent springs, pleasant drives
ana walks, is without doubt one of YER
mont's most interesting spots,
