BAR HARBOR.
Nit Desert, on which Bar Harbor Is
located Is the largest island on the New
England coast Its mountains can be seen
sixty miles from sea. and are remarkable
az being the first landmark for seamen.
In many respects it is unexcelled by any
combination of natural views on the
North Atlantic coast. In 100 square
miles of terri ory are 10 mountain peaks.
II pounds and lakes, with gorges. glens,
promontories, and harbors of unusual
beauty.
The hotel accommodation Is ample, the
cottages are spacious and beautiful aud
from altogether the fashionable summer
resort of Maine. Bar Harbor owes Its
popularity to its pure, bracing air. its ro-
mantio and extended driveways, enchsnt-
ing ocean views and grand mountain
scenery. One familiar with the history
and legends of the island, as he stands
upon u rocky eminence and overlooks the
ialnnds creeks and rayi nes can easily
imagine that q savage is about to emerge
from some glen, or that the rude boat OF
two centuries ago is riding at anchor In
the waters below.
