The Woodstock Inn has a grand
and compelling feature for the en-
tertainment of its holiday guests. 1t
occupies the whole of the dining
room annex and shows a miniature
railroad run by electricity over a
track of about eight laps to the mile.
The scene is realistic in the extreme,
and is representation on a small
scale of the Ottauquechee valley and
the Woodstock railway to White
River Junction, many of the topo-
graphical features Of the country
being reproduced with remarkable
fidelity and accuracy. There are
snow-covered hills, the Gorge, sta
tions houses, tunnel not on the
map, bears and other animals, and
no end of happy people straight from
Toyland. \ A flying machine scars
safely at height of three or four
feet. This wonderland is the design
of Manager A. B. Wilder.
