Belfast las a pecuniary, if no other
interest, III the prosperity Of the YES
ieyan Grove Camp Ground in North
port. The natural advantages of the
grounds are many, the location is con
yenient, and the facilities for receiving
and caring for visitors are all that is
needed. They include wharf at which
steamers may land and hotel capable
OF entertaining a large number of
guests. There is a fine growth of forest
trees on the grounds, and the surround
ings are attractive. There are pleasant
walks and drives in every direction, and
the bay III front affords ever changing
marine views. The cottages are SUP
piled with pure spring water milk. but
ter, eggs vegetables and fruits in their
season are brought to the doors, and
there is general store, and post office.
With all these attractions and conven.
fences it is the general impression that
the Camp Ground is not prospecting as
it should, and that the attendance at
the religious meetings is lessening year
by year, This year, for example, al
though the weather was exceptionally
favorable, the attendance was much
less than last year, while to those who
remember the crowds that gathered at
Northport twenty or twenty-five years
ago the falling off is seen to be very
great. What is the cause, and what the
remedy? That we must leave for others
to say. 1t is evident, however, that
something must be done to restore the
prestige of this once favorite resort
and bring back those who formerly
found pleasure and profit there.
