Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-08-06

One Of the Most Attractive Spots in
New England.

Vermont IN winter may TO some,
more southern cline, appear invested
with almost Arctic vigors, but Yer
mont in summer is one Of the most de-
lightful places on the face of the
earth. The fresh, life giving air, the
beautiful scenery, an enchanting
mixture of hill and dale, mountain
and plain, the merging shades of re-
freshing green which clothe both
hillside and valley, the pure sparkling
water that gushes forth and the SIM
pie rural life Of the outlaying districts
make Vermont as state uneXcelled
as summer haven Of rest for those
mortals doomed to pass the greater
part of the year shut in by brick walls
and happy the persons who can spare
few weeks during the hot weather
for an outing in this beautiful coun-
try.
There are a thousand and one de-
lightful places in the Green Mountain
State in which to spend ones vaca-
ton, but we venture to say there are
none better than the Williamstown
Gulf, located only few short miles
from Barre, and very near the ter
minal Of the Williamstown branch Of
the Central Vermont Railroad. Peo-
pie wishing delightful carriage ride
may leave the train at Royalton. In
times past when the old hotel was
standing Williamstown Gulf, with
it's ice cold springs gushing from the
base of an almost perpendicular
mountain, and it's beautiful scenery
was a favOrite resort but since that
burned the lack of all accommodation
for man and beast has deferred sum-
mer visitors from visiting this pleas
ant spot, but last winter E. j., Gale a
veteran hotel man, very popular
with the public, ereted commodious
new hotel near the site of the old one
and it was opened this season.
Already the people have discovered
that this, their old favorite place for
an outing, is once more available, and
the large parties that have stopped
there so far are more than pleased
with the surrounding country, the
hotel and the proprietor. We would
advise people living in the larger
cities or in neighboring towns to in
vestigate the resources and pleasures
of the Williamstown Gulf House be-
fore deciding on the place in which
they are to spend their summer vaca-
tion.
The house is new, commodious, and
well fitted up, and the cuisine is far
above the average. Acetyline gas is
used for Illuminating purposes. The
rooms are large and cool, and nicely
furnished, being arranged so as to be
used singly or in suites. There is a
pleasant parlor, and music room, and
the closets and bathrooms are conve-
niently located.
The building is thoroughly plumb
ed, and pure spring water from the
mountain flows in abundance.
There are broad verandas for the
evening and for rainy weather and
there is a billiard table for those who
wish to use it. Mine Host Gale and
his clerk, Mr.. Bass, will be found
ever willing to do everything in their
power toward the comfort and enjoy
ment of their guests. There is a
pretty sheet of watera few miles from
the hotel, on the mountains, and the
precipitous green slopes which form
the Gulf and the trout brook flowing
through it are an ever pleasing object
to the artistic eye. The carriage
roads are better than the average,
and the surrounding points of inter
est are easily reached. The grounds
Immediately surrounding the hotel
have been tastefully arranged, ano
easy paths have been constructed up
the sides of the mountains which rise
so abruptly on both sides of the hotel.
BY all means investigate the Will
Jamestown Gulf House before starting
on your summers outing.
