titled and of great fertility. It is said
that the land at the point" is many
feet higher than at any other portion of
the Eastern Shore. But be this as it
may. the prospect is indeed lovely from
every point OF view. On either side of
you the e&panse of water is boundleSs.
When you arise in the morning the sun
is beheld as a great ball of fire COM
Ing right up from the bosom of the
ocean. and in the evening he sinks, as 1t
were, to rest In the placid waters of
the bay TO the west. And, too, right
here the abundance of fish, oysters ana
clans furnished by the waters adjacent,
together with the great variety OF
fcathered game, all conspire to render
the spot an earthly paradise for SAN
ttarlum or u clubhouse.
And here 1t is, too, that the Hon.
John S. Wise. the son of n distinguished
Virginian from the Eastern Shore, Sc
lected and purchased some 400 acres
of land. portion of the wcll-known
"Hallett Farm" and upon It has had
erected buildings suitable for club
house purposes. This property as It
now stands, is owned by Mr.. Wise and
a number of his friends. and hence IL
is that his visits TO the Peninsula, with
those Of his friends, is OF frequent oc,
currence. We have not time at this
writing to so into detail as to Mr..
Wise's cottage by the sea-" Suffice it
now TO say that 1t is handsomely built,
splendidly located and equipped and
aHords retreat and an asylum most
enchanting from the noise and con:
fusion OF great metropolis like New
York.
The home of Mr.. Leonard T. Fitchett
aoJoins Mr. Wise on the east, and next
IN order comes the farms of q. O.
smith and Wade Hallett. Adjacent to
the cottage" on the west is the farm
or MI X. ID. Warren All these Droper
ties are Of the highest fertility. and
their location is exceptionally fascinat-
ing, especially that of Mr.. Fitchett, who,
whiie he is said to be the last man
IN the county" is an elegant, hospit-
aple gentleman. We shall have more
to say about the Point" hereafter.
