Breton Woods, y. H., June I'm
Seeing America First" the real
Switzerland of America has b. no
means been forgotten BY the vast
army of tourists who swarm 20 the
American resorts with resignation this
year, being deprived Of their annual
elobc-trotting expeditions in European
lands. To many Of them the season
will come as a revelation. and. to their
utter surprise, they Will discover that
America has hotels quite as good and
scenery as grand as anything on the
other side Of the m.ne-ridden, sub
marine-infested pond The fjords Of
Norway will find worthy substitutes IN
the Canadian Rockies and the Rhine
and the Danube have rival in the
Saguenay and the majestic St. Law
renee. Europe has nothing more love
~ than the limpid lakes and the emer-
aid hills Of the White Mountains,
and among them are facilities for rec
reation and sport that surpass those
offered by any resorts in Europe in
similar area. New Hampshire farms,
abandoned and otherwise. have made
some famous summer homes. and from
Dublin and Cornish IN the southern
part Of the state, 20 Jefferson and
Franconia Notch, on the borders OF the
White Mountains, many prominent
New Workers have set up their lares
and penates for the glorious summer
time.
The principal event in the golhns
world among the White Hills Will ne
in the opening early this season or
the beautiful and sporty eighteenth
course Of the Balsams Golf CLUB az
Dixville Notch, the point IN the NILS
furthest north, where over three or
four rambling old farms hugging the
hills runs one of the most picturesque
and scenic courses in the entire White
Mountain region. A delightful little
clubhouse has been built and fur
nished artistically, and patrons OF the
Balsams will find IL n welcome add
ton to the galaxy OF sports. The ten
mis- courts here are second 20 none IN
the White Mountains.
Open golf tournaments are played az
the Bethlehem Country Club, the
Waumbek Golf Club at Jefferson and
the Maplewood Golf Club al Maple

Stamford. y. Y. June 12.-The tabled
land of Rip Van Wrinkle needs no intro
dUction to freQuenters of summer re-
sorts in America. The trip from New
York 70 the resorts in the Catshili
Mountains embraces combination OF
scenery UNSURPASSED. The beauties
OF the Hudson rival those of the Rhine
and Switzerland. Because this section
is so close TO New York, it is the sum-
mer playground Of thousands Of New
Workers. II is visited annually by more
than two hundred thousand people.
Reservations made last week indicate
that the season of 1915 is going 10 be
a record breaker, in Delaware, Ulster
and Greene counties. The demand for
cottages throughout every community
in TIE mountains. the bookings for July
and August, the summer colony already
here and the opening of many hotels at
an esrlier date than in former years, in
dicate that the Catskills will share
plentifully in resort popularity.
There is charm about the Catsklll re-
zion that leads people 10 return 70 It
season after season. II is not unusual
to find at hotels and boarding houses
throughout the region, men and women,
who are spending their twentieth, thir-
teeth and in some instances, their for
tieth annual season here.
At Stamford there are already many
Cubans, and it is expected that there
will be a summer Cuban colony be-
cause many Havana residents, who have
been prevented from enjoying a sum-
mer in Europe By the war, have made
reservation here for July and August
With the exception of the Rexmere,
which will not open until June "a, all
of the hotels and boarding houses at
Stamford have thrown open their doors
for the season and are entertaining
r,ore people than at this time last year.
Nearly all of the members of the cot
tage colony at Stamford have opened
the summer places they own or lease
for the season.
While there will be many forms Of
an usement at Stamford this summer,
such as the floral parade, operate pro-
auctions and the music festivals that
have been featured here for several
seasons. golf will be one of the chief
attractions. Golfers will find at STAN
ford two of the best golf courses in the
CGtskills.
The new Grant House will be man
aged this year by Mrs. John II. His
eek: II. H. Mase will conduct the Ingle-
side. and Harold c. King, the West
holm.
Among the cottages that have been
taken for the season are the Dyksman,

Prominent among sports events of
the season is the principal open tennis
tournament of the White Mountains,

tional Lawn Tennis Association at the
Crawford House, in Crawford Notch,
during the last Of July and first days
Of August From Newport and Long

ers to compete for the honor of leg
on the Crawford Notch Challenge Cup.
Other tournaments are held at Bethle
hem and Maplewood Country clubs and
at Waumbek and Breton Woods
Motoring in the White Mountains
has been a famous sport ever since the
early days when the climb to the
clouds on Mount Washington and the
endurance runs through Crawford
Notch brought hundreds of enthusiasts
into the White Hills. there to become
devotees of the sport over its wonder
full gravelled highways and scenic
drives. The good roads movement has
had nowhere in the country more in
telligent cooperation among hotel
proprietors than in the White Noun
tains. which form the apex OF several
noted tours starting from New York,
BOgfon and the W est
One Of the notable attractions OF
the White Mountains is the trout nsn-
ing which abounds here in its many
streams and lakes. The state has gen
erously stocked the principal ones with
fry, and the long fishing season, from
April until mid-September. makes II
possible for most OF the vacaloneFS
TO whip the streams and cast ny at
some time during the summer months.
During the late summer and autumn
the hills become the Mecca OF nay
fever sufferers and most resorts are
entirely immune from this dread dis.
ease. so that the annual convention OF
the American Hay Fever Association
held in Bethlehem every August, IS
veritable experience meeting OF those
who have found instant RELIEF IN the
granite hills of old New Hampshire.
