A DAY AT SWAN LAKE. Last Thursday
some twenty-five Belfast people were guests
of Mr. A. W. Thompson at Cliff Cottage.
Swan Lake. Many of the party had FREE
quently been guests in the past of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. z. Thompson and the place was
fragrant with memories of their hospitality.
1t had been some fifteen years since the
writer had visited this spot, but every
thing was as familiar as though seen but
yesterday-the big boulders and the hill be-
hind the cottage, the grove in front and the
charming views up and down the lake,
The trip was made by buck boards and pri-
vate teams, and the party, in which the la
DIES predominated, included a clergyman,
lawyer, a doctor and an editor. Soon after
arrival smoke was curling gracefully up
ward from the chimney and Il little later
savory odors in which the fragrance of
onions was mingled brought cheer to the
hungry m0rtalS on the veranda. Who was
the presiding genius of the kitchen we can
not say, but the haddock chowder, served
smoking hot, was the work of an artist IN
that line. This was followed by salads,
sandwiches and hot coffee, ice cream and
cake. 1t was an appetlzing and satisfying
meal, to which ali did ample justice, After
dinner a launch was at the service of the
party for trips about the lake, and many en-
joyed delightful sail on this fine sheet of
water. Then as the day drew to close and
preparations were made for the ride home
each individual declared d vote of thanks to
Mr. Thompson for this very enjoyable out
ing.
