OCEAN POINT.
Season About Over--Trcnd Of
Travel Is Homeward.
The Pointers Will Have Their Own
Yacht Races, Next Year.
4 Good jokc..Thc Arrivals and Depayiurcs. i.
Youthful Thics Detected.

The season of 1901 is almost at a
close. Each boat as it leaves the
wharf carries away many, while the
arrivals are few. although there are
many people here and will stay till
the last of the month. Many of the
cottages will remain open till Septem-
Der Is. Probably the weather during
the month of September will be the
best OF the season. with its westerly
winds. We cannot brag of d fine
weather season. for we have had fog
every week this season. The excite
ment of the season is about over and
now folks are taking things easy.
The yacht races which we have look
ed forward to each year. best two out
of three have been narrowed down to
one, probably because the Squirrel
boat won from the Nirvana. The peo-
l,le hero would ike to see the series
completed. as in previous years. There
is no doubt in the mind Of the owner
Of the Nirvana and also the Pointers
that had the Ocean Point boat won.
the series would be completed. best
two out of three. but we must be salts
field with whichever way the commit
tee wishes to act.
1t looks now as if next season we will
have races here, and "a cup to be put
up by Pointers. for an open race in the
25-foot class. Mr.. Presbrcy has been
approached on several occasions as to
whether or not he Should enter his
yacht again in Squirrel Island races
and the answer is silence. We are all
at sea as to know what the trouble is.
probably it will leak out itself.
The hotels and boarding houses have
| had q very successful season. We have
had no accidents. no sickness to speak
of. in fact every thing has gone along
very Eicc,y. This season has brought
many new faces mere, ana many nave
| engaged cottages and board for an
| other season. everything goes TO snow
that Ocean Point is certainly booming
and a healthy resort to pass your va
! cation.
