 GLORIEs OF SPECTACLE LAKE.
 Dear Mir Editor: Fifteen years ago the territory adjacent to the North Spectacle lake was dense with a growth of brush and trees, and but oc- casionally fishermen found their way there to camp. Visitors discovered what a choice bit of nature was hidden away here, and in short time the building of cottages began. At the present time Fred Green and family and Mir and Mrs Harry Ives are oc- cupying the Hornet Nest cottage. Prof Babbitt and family are located in their bungalow on Panaramma hill. Senator "A. G. Barnes and family are enjoyin g life at the Chestnut Burr cottage. MT Tucker and family of Trumbull are at their cottage. The family of Chauncey B. Marsh are having royal time at Indian Rock cottage. MT Marsh passed Sunday with his family there. and went up, Thursday, to remain for a few days. Walter Hatch and family are located in cottage on Indian Rock. Mir Hatch caught two handsome bass weighing two and three-quarters and three and one-eighth pounds and holds the record for the season. Seven teachers from Princeton university are at "Montcalm" cottage. Charles Planz and family are at their cottage on the north shore of the lake. Fifty boys from the Y. M. c. A., in New York are camping out on land the as. sociation has purchased They have constructed an athletic field and the boys are having a fine time. They have fine lot of canoes and boats which are constantly in use. A large float has been constructed On Sun day evening an organ is taken out or the float, people gather from all the cottages in boats and an open air serv- ice is held. One is reminded of that service in Palestine when the Master pushed out in a boat because of the throng and spoke to them. In the churches people delight to bring in bits of nature to beautify the House of Goo but here one is surrounded by the best that nature can give. Come up anc see us, Mir Editor, get near to na. ture's heart and have genuine rest. By the way, 1 have forgotten to mention the cottage of Mrs s. H. Clark anc Minor Warehouse of Marketable, who are expected here shortly for a months sojourn. Am expecting that my friend, James Marsh, will point one of his big automobiles up this way, when he hears what luck his partner Hatch, is having with the big bass "Jim" knows how to land 'em, ant where they lie.
