THE BOARDING SEASON CLOSES.

THE BOARDING SEASON CLOSES.
The exit Of the city guests from the
different summer boarding places
about Lake Waramaug, last week, was
most marked and regretted at the end
of the summer months. They come
to cheer and enliven but they must 60
and return to their necessary voca-
tions and leave us to only hope with
the advent of another summer that
they will return, bringing their friends
with them. This past season, for va
rious causes, has not been the most
popular and successful season Lake
Waramaug has known. Changes have
occurred the past two years to be re-
expressed that the right and progress.
i've parties may become interested lin
the near future for the success of the
Lake, that from its failures may arise
renown and success such as never has
been felt here before. There Is also,
like many other villages of its size and
kind, opportunities waiting in the
mechanical and manufacturing line in
New Preston proper for little capt.
tai and energy. Why should we not
enjoy the benefits Of these? Mainly
because the right parties have not
been found to grasp and utilize them.
