CAMDEN. Lake City - is the name given
to the cluster of summer cottages, which
have, III recent years, been built along the
southern shore of Megunticook Lake, 1t is
one of the loveliest OF Camden's rural re-
treats and is every year receiving new ac-
cessores. During the past year, cottages
have been built by F. o. Clark, DR. Samuel
Tibbetts, C. X. Miller and others. A cottage
is now being erected for E B. Thorndike of
Canton, Mass, near MoineauX Mills. Lake
City commands fine view of the lake and
mountains and has excellent facilities for
boating and for taking the gamey black bass
and other tish..... Among the interesting
and picturesque features of Camden life are
the golf links, located on Chestnut Hill,
just back of the summer residences of Law
renee F. Abbott and j. F. Hooper, extend
ing to the shore of Lily Pond in Rockport.
They are considered very good course,
having nine holes, extending over $500 yards.
The grounds were laid out by Mr.. Findlay,
the Boston expert, and were opened for
play on the 4th of July. The situation is
very fine commanding an extensive view of
the mountains, and the character of the
ground is admirably adapted for the game.
There are many natural hazards formed by
stone fences and hollows covered with
alders and at other points pine and fir trees.
The teeing ground generally starts from a
knoll and the ball is driven across a valley
to the link at the foot of another knoll and
so on around the course The links vary
slightly in length and average over $50 yards
each. The grounds are we'll patronlzed by a
number of enthusiastic players. A small
club house has been erected on the grounds
for the convenience of the players and
spectators.
