Wintering in Someiviiie.


The confirmed ''globe trotter'' has
much greater difficulty in finding new
and untried places for his wintering than
has the summer traveller, and usually is
more or less disappointed with his choice.
The Florida habitue finds California too
cool for his sensitive nature, and the en-
thusiast of California's pleasure places
is too warm and much too moist in the
Floridian resorts. Bermuda, Cuba and
Nassau each have their charms. But
New England is most enjoyable for the
entire year. And one can not help think
ing of dear old Belfast and Northport
Campground; both places have their re-
turning population year after year and
their confirmed admirers. 1t remains
for the beautiful city of Somerville,
Mass, to materialize a marvel of per-
lection in temperature and scenery for
him who has the price to reach Somer-
vile and find himself and family nicely
located at Benton Road.
The average traveller does not appre-
bend much of the information he reads
in the literature" Of the steamship
companies or travel bureaus; and so,
when he arrives on the spot, finds the
things he has but dimly known some
what strange, and proceeds to take in
facts and figures that are more or less
accurate, as he happens to run across
reliable citizen who instructs him.
The hotels here are sufficient for the
needs of the city; the boarding houses
fairly numerous; and furnished and un-
furnished apartments are to be found
according to the inclination or purse
of the visitor; and, superior to all
other things, one finds plenty to eat and
of the best quality, if fortunate in secur-
ing board with Mr.. A. J. Mcleod, who
conducts the finest place of its kind in
Somerville, located at IS Central street.
Mr.. McLeod's present comfortable quar-
tiers, occupied by himself, and family
