pretty cottage of Mrs. Chase trees trimmed,
and grading done on the " alter front. Dr.

assured fine crop Of Jumping Jennies,
Grading has been done about the Roberts
cottage, built last season, and the ground
cleared in the vicinity. One new cottage
was noted in course OF erection in the Camp
Ground, and Mr.. Andrews is making many
improvements in the vicinity of White Rock
Cottage. A new kitchen is to be built and a
large tract of ground has been prepared for
cultivation. This is very comfortable,
home-like place, and is well patronized in
the season. The greatest Improvement of
the year, however, is the erection Of the
CODE cottage on the South Shore, aud when
completed it will be the finest summer home
in Northport. The exterior is about finish
ed, the roof painted, and the second story
lathed. The surroundings have been i'm
proved by the removal of the building oppo-
site, occupied as a fruit store and the Ocean
House lawn will be extended down to the
road. Passing the other South Shore cot
tages we came to Shore Acres, where the F.
V. Cottrell cottage looms up, having been
greatly enlarged and beautiied. Continuing
along the shore road, which was found IN
excellent condition, we came to a clearing
on the shore side where stands the cottage
and stable erected this season by II. j. Nor
rison The buildings are nicel y painted and
present handsome exterior, while the in
terror is said to be no less attractive. This
ended the tour of observation for the sun
had gone down and it was time to turn our
horses head homeward.
