 Lake Mashapaug never looked better than 1t does this year. The sand banks are not in sight water reaches to the level of the foliage. When the day is still the reflections are perfect. The Ma jor Smith grove Is now in charge of John Foster of Stafford Springs. The barn has been put into good condition, ham, mocks have been swung, boats have been added, and these improvements, with the natural advantages of the place, and the excellent dinners served, make the grove as pleasant for large or small parties as the palmiest days of twenty years ago. We are glad to see Smith camp take on its old-time appearance. The fishing was never better. Large catches of bass are common. The writer, though he has been at the lake many summers, has never known so many three-pound and four-pound bass to be taken. The best bate have been dobsons and perch, though frogs, now becoming plentiful, may soon have the preference.
