FALL EXCURSION OVER LAKE
WINNIPESAUKEE.

New England's best known lake re-
sorts are situated on the shores of Lake
Winnipesaukee in Northern New Hamp-
shire. Lake Winnipesaukee is perhaps
the most beautiful lake in the world,
and the scenic landscapes and surrou nd
ings are of a most wonderfully charming
and widely varying character, and in
Jude woodland and mountain scenes.
The lake In size fairly equals an inland
sea, its shore line measuring about one
hundred and eighty -seven miles. No less
than three hundred islands are scattered
over its surface. some OF them in extent
covering several hundred acres, The
landing places on the lake are Weirs,
Centre Harbor, Wolfeboro, Alton Bay,
Bear and Long Islands, and 1t is at these
places that the steamer Mt. Washington
makes landings during It's journey over
the lake, which distance is about sixty
miles, occupying about four hours. Nc
doubt these trips OF the boat have aided
materially in making the lake famous
for thousands take advantage of the low
rate fall excursions which the Boston
q Maine Railroad runs in connection
with the steamer Mt. Washington fol
visiting Winnipesaukee.
An excursion is to be run from Port
land on Oct list. Round trip $3.50. Take
train leaving here at 90 a. m. arriving
at Alton Bay in time to connect witt
steamer for tour Of the lake.
