A SUMMER PARADISE. 
 
 THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. 
 
 Nature nowhere presents more alluring charms than in that 
 labyrinth of land and water, rock and tree, known as the 
 Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence river; and nowhere 
 else, during our sultry summers, can pleasure and health seek- 
 ers find the objects sought in larger measures, 
 
 HISTORICAL. 
 
 RESORT OK IHK RED MAN. 
 
 This region has a history which is full of romantic interest. 
 When it was first discovered by Europeans, they found it a 
 favorite resort of the red men, who called it Manatoana, or 
 Garden of the Great Spirit, because of the abundant fish and 
 game. Their tents were seen dotting the islands and shores, 
 and their canoes darting to and fro along the river. 
 
 EARLY EXPLORERS AND ACCOUNTS. 
 
 The river was discovered August lo, 1535, by Jacciues 
 Cartier, who named it St. Lawrence in honor of the saint 
 whose feast is celebrated on that day. The first European 
 who visited Lake Ontario was Samuel Champlain, in 1615 ; 
 and in his meagre descriptions he mentions some beautiful 
 and very large islands at the beginning of the St. Lawrence. 
 It is supposed that some French explorers, who went up the 
 river about 1650, gave the region its present name ''•Milks 
 Isles" or Thousand Islands. In the papers relating to De- 
 Comceile's and DeTracey's expeditions against the Mohawk 
 
 Indians in 1666, the islands 
 t'i-^f'^^'^j, - ^'■^ complained of as ob- 
 
 structing navigation and 
 mystifying the most expe- 
 rienced Iroquois pilots. 
 
 In the year 1260 a Capt. 
 Ponchot described the re- 
 gion somewhat minutely in 
 his journal, which was af- 
 terwards published in Swit- 
 
(5 
 
 THK TMCUSAND ISLANDS. 
 
 zerland, and there have been frecjuent allusions to, and descriptions ot it, written and pub- 
 lished trom that time to the present. The picturescjue scenery of this spot also seems to 
 have made a lasting inipression upon French artists, as one of the finest paintings that greet 
 the eye of an American on entering the Picture (iallery at Vers lilles, present a view of 
 these attractive wilds. 
 
 IN KOMANCK AND SONCi. 
 
 We find them occasionally in the poetry and fiction of this latter period, 
 dian Boat Song," by the great Irish jtoet, Thos. Moore, commencing : 
 
 The "Cana- 
 
 "Falntly as Kills the cveiiliiK t.'lilmc, 
 Our volcen Keep tune and our oars keep tlmi'," 
 
 was written in 1804, it is said, on Hart's Island, opposite The Crossmon. During their pas- 
 sage down the river James Fennimore Cooper and Washington Irving visited the Thousand 
 
 (Islands, and were fascinated by them. 
 |Coopcr makes them^the scene of some 
 of the most interesting incidents of 
 "The Pathfinder," from which we copy 
 the following : 
 
 " By sunset again the cutter was up 
 with the first of the islands that he in the 
 outlet of the lake, and ere it wrs dark 
 she was running through the narrow 
 channels, on her way to the long sought 
 station. At nine o'clock, however. Cap 
 [insisted that they should anchor, for 
 the maze of islands became so compli- 
 cated and obscure, that he feared, at 
 every opening, the party would find 
 themselves under the guns of a French 
 fort. * * * The islands might noc 
 have been literally a thousand in num- 
 ber, but they were so numerous and 
 IN CA.VAUiA?^ WATERS. small as to baffle calculation, though 
 
 occasionally one of a larger size than common was passed. Jas[)er had quitted what might 
 have been termed the main channel, and was winding his way, with a good stiff" breeze and 
 a favorable current, through passes that were sometimes so narrow that there appeared to 
 be barely room sufficient for the Scud's spars to clear the trees, while at other moments he 
 shot across little bays, and buried the cutter again amid rocks, forests and bushes. The 
 water was so transparent that there was no occasion for the lead, and being of very equal 
 depth, little risk was actually run. 
 
 Farther on he describes the island where "The Pathfinder" and his party secreted them- 
 selves, which is so good of many others, that we insert it here. 
 

8 
 
 TlIK THOUSAND I8LANDS. 
 
 " Lying in the midst of twenty others, it was not an easy matter to find it, since boats 
 might pass quite near, and, by the ghmpses caught through the openings, this particular 
 island would be taken for a part of some other, indeed, the channels between the -islands, 
 that lay around the one we have been describing, were so narrow that it was even dithcult 
 to say which portions of the land were connected or which separated, even as one stood in 
 their centre, with the express desire of ascertaining the truth. The little bay, in particular, 
 that Jasper used as a harbor, was so emboweretl with bushes and shut in with islands, that 
 the sails of the cutter being lowered, her own peojile, on one occasion, had searched for 
 hours before they could find 
 the Scud, on their return from 
 a short excursion among the 
 adjacent channels in (juest of 
 fish." 
 
 IN THK PRKSKNT. 
 
 " Now, however, the inex- 
 orably rotating kaleidoscope 
 of time has shaken away the; 
 savage scenes of old, never to- 
 be repeated, and new ones* 
 appear to the eye of the pres-? 
 ent. No longer in Alexan- 
 dria Bay — fortunately still 
 beautiful — does Nature reign 
 in silent majesty, for the con- 
 stant flutter and bustle of the 
 life and gayety of a summer 
 resort have superseded her. 
 But although Alexandria Bay 
 is in the continual tumult ot 
 life, for some fortunate and 
 almost unaccountable reason, the Thousand Islands are not in the least tinctured with the 
 blase air of an ordinary watering place, nor are they likely to become so. There are hund- 
 reds, thousands of places, rugged and solitary, among which a boat can glide, while its oc- 
 cupant lies gloriously indolent, doing nothing but reveling in thf realization ot life, little 
 bays, almost land locked, where the resinous odors of hemlock and pine fill the nostrils, and 
 the whispers of nature's unseen life seem but to make the solitude more perceptible. Some- 
 times the vociferous cawmg of crows sounds through the hollow woods, or a solitary eagle 
 lifts from her perch on the top of a stark and dead pine, and sails majestically across the 
 .__y!'ue arch of the sky. Such scenes occur on a beautiful sheet of water called Lake of the 
 Isle, lying placidly and balmily in the lap of the piney hills of Wells Island, reflecting their 
 rugged crests in its glassy surface, dotted here and there by tiny islands. In the stillest bays

 are spots i. . seem to lie in a Rip VanWinklc sleep, where one would scarcely be surprised 
 to see an Indian canoe shoot from beneath llie hemlocks of the siiore into the open, freighted 
 with a Natty Humpo or a Chingachgook, breaking the placid surface of the water into slow- 
 ly widening ripples. In such a spot, one evening after a day spent in sketching, when pad- 
 dling our boat about in an indolent, 
 
 aimless way, looking down through the M^^^^^Kg^^^^^^KgU^gMi^^U^ . \ 
 crystal clearness of the water to thcy 
 jangle of weeds below, now frighteninpj 
 a pickerel from his haunt or startling ;.

 selves belated. As the sun set in aHHmH^Rii^n9H0fi^^^Hi^9»^&A'eb ^-^ 
 blaze of crimson and gold, two boat.] 
 men moving homeward passed darklj 
 along the glassy surface that caught thel 
 blazing light of the sky, and across thtf 
 water came, in meafuired rythm with 
 the dip of their oars, the tunc of a 
 (juaint, old, half-melancholy Methodist] 
 hymn that they sang. We listened asl 
 the song trailed after them until they| 
 turned into an inlet behind the dusky 
 woods and were lost to view. From 
 such romantic and secluded recesses 
 one can watch the bustle and hurry of 
 life as serenely as though one were the 
 inhabitant of another planet.'" 
 
 IN RECENT LITERATURE. 
 
 During the past few years wherein! 
 the Thousand Islands have suddenly 
 become one of the leading resorts for : 
 summer recreation, they have beeni 
 prominent in the current literature and ; 
 pictorial illustrations of the country. 
 Newspapers and magazi ^s have made 
 
 them the subject of many long and in- safe point. 
 
 teresting articles ; reporters, essayists, romancers, poets and humorists have seemed to vie 
 with each other in calling the attention of the public to this place of enchantment ; and the 
 consequence is that a vast and annually swelling tide of humanity flows that way, and many 
 linger there from early June until late October.

 ITEMS OF INTEREST. 
 
 We have stated that the St. Lawrence was discovered and named in 1535, and that 
 Lake Ontario was discovered in 1615. A few other references to the past may be interest- 
 ing. The first mihtary post on Lake Ontario and the upper St. Lawrence was Fort Fronte- 
 nac, which was established by the Frencli under the direction of Count de Frontenac, in 
 1673, on the spot where Kingston now stands. During the French war, in 1758, this post 
 was captured by an English army of 3,340 men, commanded by Col. John Bradstreet, who 
 crossed over from Oswego. It then remained in British possession until surrendered again 
 to the French, in whose possession it remained until a short time before the Revolution. 
 
 Fort Carleton, the ruins of which are seen upon the upper end of Carleton Island, just be- 
 low Cape Vincent, was built under the direction ot Gen. Carleton, as a British post, in 1777. 
 During the Revolutionary war, and for some 
 time afterwards, it was the principal military 
 station on the lake. It was finally aband- 
 oned as a place of military defense in 1808. 
 It remained in nominal possession of the Brit- 
 ish until the beginning of the war of 1812. 
 
 The boundary line between Canada and 
 the United States was definitely setded in 
 1822. The first steamboat appeared on Lake 
 Ontario and the St. Lawrence in 1817, caus- 
 ing great excitement and demonstration 
 amc ^g the people along the shores. Its 
 name was the Oneida. 
 
 In 1823 all liie islands in the State be- 
 tween Ogdensburg, on the St. Lawrence, and 
 Grindstone Island, in Lake Ontario, were 
 granted to Elisha Camp, of Sackets Harbor, 
 and all titles within these limits must be traced 
 to this proprietor. The Patriot War, which led to exciting military scenes and adventures on 
 the St. Lawrence, occurred in 1837-1839. The British steamer "Sir Robert Peel" was fired 
 and burnt on the south side ot Wells' Island on the night of May 29-30, 1838, and the 
 ''Battle of the Windmill" occurred at Prescott in November of the same year, a memorable 
 battle to the elder Crossmon, A'ho was taken prisoner during the engagement, tried, and 
 sentenced to be shot. Owing to his extreme youth a respite was obtained, and he was af- 
 terwards ronsomed, thus barely escaping with his life. 
 
 GEOLOGICAL. 
 
 The geological formation of the Thousand Islands is mostly gneiss rock, of the Lawren- 
 tian period. This rock is composed largely of a reddish feldspar, with mixtures of quartz 
 and hornblende, and a little magnetic iron ore. There are also occasionally thin veins of 
 
la 
 
 THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. 
 
 :trap and greenstone, and in places a variety of crystal- 
 line mineral forms, Potsdam sandstone occurs among 
 ^che islands in thick masses, rising sometimes into high 
 ''cliffs. Before reachmg Brockville from above, and for a 
 long distance below, a calciferous sandstone and the 
 older limestones constitute the only rock, and in these 
 are found the organic remains of lower forms of animal 
 and vegetable life. 
 
 are nearly all small, usually varying in size from a few 
 square yards of surface to several acres. Many of them 
 are separated by only narrow channels, which are general- 
 ly deep, but sometimes shallow. Quiet and inviting little 
 bays are found here and there. All the islands are thickly 
 studded with trees of rich foliage, but generally of moder- 
 ate or stunted growth, many of which stand close to the 
 water's edge, and afford cooling shade for passing boat- 
 men. In the bays and by the sides of the islands is excel- 
 lent fishing, bass and pickerel being the principal fish but 
 the famous muscalonge is sufficiently numerous to warrant 
 the fisherman in expecting an electric bite from him at any 
 moment, which will put his strength and skill to their utmost test 
 
 CHABACTEEISTICS. 
 
 THE ISLANDS AND CHANNELS. 
 
 There are nearly two thousand of these St. Lawrence 
 islands, and perhaps one thousand within six miles of 
 Alexandria Bay, this being the central part of by far the 
 most beautiful and wonderful section of the river. They

 AS A SUMMER RESORT. 
 
 OLD TIMES. 
 
 Not until 1872 was the at- 
 tention of the general public 
 turned to the Thousand Isl- 
 ands as "a watering place," or 
 resort for pleasure seekers and 
 invalids, although some dis- 
 cerning ones had been in the 
 habit of spending a few sum- 
 mer days or weeks there for 
 more than a quarter of a cen- 
 tury previous. There Gov'r 
 Seward shook hands across 
 the party chasm with Silas 
 Wright, and caught bass and

 THE NEW DEPARTURE. 
 
 m the summer ot 1872 two or three t'>ings occurred opportunely to draw immediate at 
 tention to the river attractions. George W. Pullman, the palace cir king, had become en-

 amored with the place, purchased a beautiful island nearly opposite the Bay, and erected 
 thereon suitable buildings for a luxurious summer residence. By his invitation, in 1872, 
 Gen. Orient and family, and a party of friends, went to Pullman's Island, as his guests, and re- 
 mained eight days. 
 The same season 
 a large party of 
 New York and 
 Southern editors 
 made an excursion 
 to the islands, and 
 dined alfresco on 
 the same island, 
 the viands ijeing 
 furnished from the 
 c u i s i n e of the 
 Crossmon House. 
 These two events 
 brought the isl- 
 ands to the notice 
 of the people in 
 all parts of the 
 country. 
 
 So when the big 
 
 new hotels were 
 
 o p e n e d in the 
 
 summer of 1873, 
 
 the people at once 
 
 hasten to them.and since then 
 
 continued to come every 
 
 imbers. 
 
 ESTS OF LAST SEASON 
 
 The Crossmon was particularly 
 honored last summer by being the 
 chosen stopping place of ^President 
 Arthur, Archbishop McClosky and 
 cATcniNG MrsrAi.oNOK. Herbert Spencer. 
 
 About the same time there began to be a great demand for islands on which to build 
 summer cottages. A large number were sold in 1872 and 1873, and the demand and sale 
 have continued each year since. Of course the best of ^he islands have now been appro- 
 priated, but there are many desirable ones left, and beautiful points also, on the main shore 
 on Wells Island.

 PARTICULAR ISLANDS. 
 
 17 
 
 ' 
 
 Among the islands let us notice a few more pa.ticularly. We have already referred to 
 Pullman's island. 
 
 Just above the village in the American channel, is Warner':; island, ovned by H H 
 Warner, of Rochester, who is famous for the magnitude, boldness and success of his busi- 
 ness operations. The line steamers pass within a few feet of his handsome cottage The 
 river-bound half acre on 
 which it stands has been 
 beautified at much ex- 
 pense, and is one of the 
 most coveted spots of the 
 region. Mr. Warner and 
 family are in the habit of 
 remaining here two to three 
 months of the year, and 
 their gracious hospitalities 
 have won them ho'ts of 
 friends among the freciuen- 
 ters to the T h o u s a n d 
 Islands. 
 
 A short distance down 
 the river from the Bay is a 
 triplet of charming little 
 islands, owned by the fol- 
 lowing named gentlemen, 
 who are spending much 
 money uoon them. They 
 are. Little Lehigh, owned 
 by Chas. H. Cummins, of 
 New York; Sport, owned 
 by H. E. Packer, of Mauch 
 Chunk, Pa., and E. P. 
 Wilbur, Bethlehem, Pa,, 
 and Idlewild, owned by 
 R. A. Packer, of Sayre, Pa. 
 The first two are connected by a handsome wrought iron suspension bridge. 
 
 Sport Island is nicely terraced, and a private gas house furnishes the means of illumin- 
 ating It at night with two hundred lights. A few rods from the Oossmon, between it and 
 Well's Island, is Hart's Island, a little paradise, with one cf the largest and most legant of 
 the island cottages, Mrs. J. L. LeConte, of Philadelphia, Pa., has recently purchased Isle 
 Imperial, just above Hart's Island, much enlarged it by piering and falling in, and erected a

 cottage costing about $20,000. Plantagenet Island has been purchased by [udge Charles 
 Donohue, of Ntnv Vork, and rcchrislened "St. John." He h.,s built a handsome cottage 
 upon it and is making many improvements. 
 The details might be indefinitely extended. 
 
 ■JHK C'Al'KS. 
 
 Many small capes which scallop the main shores of the river, afford beautiful buildin. 
 sites, and some of them are adorned by handsome cottages. The demand for these canes 
 has mcreased of late, and it is probable that before many years the shores for a long distance 
 each way from the Bay, as well as the islands, will be thickly studded with cottages, owned 
 by health and i)leasure seekers from abroad. 
 
 I'erhaps the most desirable point on the river was purchased by Dr. |, () Holland the 
 celebrated author, ana late editor ot Scribner's Monthly. It is at "the mouth of the 
 
 l>li. .1. (i. HOLLAND'S I.AiK liKSIDKNCE, "liONME CASTI.K."

 lovely httle ba)', o^■erlooked by the Crossmon, and only a kw rods across the water from 
 It. Dr. Holland has expended many thousands ot dollars in erecting here a luxurious cot- 
 tage and nnprovmg the grounds. The point is named "Bonnie Castle," from one of Dr 
 Holland's novels. The family are in the habit of spending three or four months of the year 
 on this island, and here Dr. Holland did much ot his literary work.

 The historically famous Devil's Oven is an island so named from a water cav c into which 
 a boat can be rowed from the river. This cave was the hiding place for many months of

 daughter Ivate, he finally escaped. 
 
 (ioose Hay is a well-known fishing and hunting ground three miles from the village Fel 
 Bay IS another at the head of Wells island. Halsteads Bay is another, on the Canadian side. 
 
 fiddlers Klbow is a thick and favorite cluster of islands in the Cana.lian waters. 
 
 'iiiK ( oita(;ks. 
 
 The river cottages are numerous and every year important additions are made to them 
 It IS noticeable that as time passes the new 
 ones constructed are made more and more 
 elegant and improved. 
 
 PARKS. -■ **^ '* 
 
 The Thousand fsland Bark of the Metho- L 
 dists, on the upper end of Wells island, was M 
 started in 187,3, and to its natural beauties 
 have been added delightful drives and walks; 
 dock and dock buildings, a village of cot- 
 tages, bath houses, and buildings for religious 
 purposes and the accommodation of visitors. 
 Here are held camp meetings, Sunday school, 
 temperance and educational conventions every season 
 
 Westminster Park was purchased in 1874 by a Bre-sbyterian stock company, and has 
 been rapidly improved, having now several miles of winding drives, and some fine bu.l.lings 
 Ihis Park IS at the foot of Wells' Island and directly opposite Alexandria Bay. across a nl 
 of water In the midst of the ground is a high hill, to the top of which is a winding road! 
 way. I ms hill is called Mt. Beulah, and is .surmounte<I by a pentagonal chapel, w licl wHl 
 accommodate one thousand persons, and has a tower ,36 feel high, presenting one o 
 best views of the river and islands. b c u. me

 the Thous- 
 and Islands 
 are now dot- 
 ted with cottages and thronged here and there with people, their 
 original wild beauty and enticements remain, the trees and rocks ; 
 the majestic flow of crystal pure waters; the yet purer air, with its 
 splendid tonic and healing properties; the ever varying views; the 
 opportunities for boating, fishing, hunting, bathing, vVc; all are here, 
 and man has added to them yet more. 
 
 KIVER SI'ORTS. 
 
 Boating, fishing, hunting, cruising among the islands in row boats 
 or steam yachts, visitmg many jjoints of historical or trnrlifiomr,, 
 .nterest,p,c-n.cku;g in large or small parties, open-ail feasting, and "ningu, |^ 
 
 lei' If' ''''' "^ ^""" ""'^'^'^ ^"" "'^ ^'- P"-''l"^' 'p-ts of the Hver Th re 
 are many small boats at the ]]ay, and many good oarsmen stand ready to serve at . nod 
 crate pr.ce, t ose who want their services. These oarsmen are a convenienc^ but ot a 
 necessity, to the enjoyments among the islands. They know all the good fi" ng gl nds 
 -.n g.ve al needed instruction in the art of catching, will furnish the requisitetMngTac t' 
 and cook the hsh in dainty and appetizing style when caught. ^ ' 
 
 Black bass and pickerel, large and gamv, abound in these waters 
 
 -many muscalonge are also caught every season, and the lady or 
 
 gentleman who hooks and secures one or more of these largest and 
 
 best of all fresh water fish, becomes the heroine or hero ot the day on 
 
 returning to the Bay. ^ 
 
 Ladies are often the lucky .r-s, and sometimes pull in a musca- 
 longe of enormous size, cou . j,,- .,^y uMusing the while all masculine 
 assistance.

 pickerel as higli as twenty pounds, and a bass as higli as six or seven poun<ls. Ihc musca- 
 longe are mostly taken between the middle of May and the last of July; the bass bite best 
 between the middle r)f June and Sei)tember, while the pickerel are caught early and late in 
 the season, and all the season. 
 
 Trolling is the usual and nmst exciting method ot fishing among the islands though 
 much pleasant still fishing is also done. 
 
 Late fall and early spring, as all hunters know, are the times for 
 shooting duck, when they flock to the bays and coves of this sec- 
 tion of the river by thousands. It is not unusual for a fishing party 
 to return to the Bay at night with a huiulred or more fine fish, nor 
 lor the luinter to conic in with fifteen or twenty broad-billed trophies 
 of his marksmanship.

 STKA.MKRS ANt) VACMTS. 
 
 The large line steamers are seen plying u}) and down the river at 
 fre<|uent intervals. All of them touch at the Bay, and many others 
 nearly as large are devoted to excursions, A new company has been 
 formed to meet the demands and necessities of the increasing travel 
 along the River and Lake Ontario, by putting on a line of lloaling 
 l)ala(:es, similar to those on the Hudson, and costing from $So,ooo 
 to $100,000 each. 
 
 An important feature of life at the J}ay, and among the Thous- 
 and Islands, is the great and increasing number of steam yachts, 
 large and small, which glide to and fro over the blue waters, and in 
 and out among the island channels, during the pleasure season. 
 Some ot these are models of architectual beauty, such as can be seen 
 almost nowhere else. In going considerable distances on the river, 
 up and down and acro.ss from shore to shore, and island to island,' 
 and point to point, when fishing is not desired, these yachts have 
 nearly superceded the row boats, although tiie latter are always ready, 
 with good oarsmen, when reciuired. * These yachts afford a swift 
 and delightful conveyance for small parties, as the larger steamers 
 do for large parties, and for distant places and pic-nics, or extensive 
 views of the river scenery. 
 
 A SCENE 01' ENCHANTMENT. 
 
 The summer night scenes at the Bay are wierdly enchanting, and European travelers 
 say they remind them of the night scenes at Venice, and are quite as beautiful. The illumi- 
 nations extend far up and down the river, on gliding yachts, and steamers, on the i'^lands 
 along the groun.is, and in the windows and towers o!" the great hotels and added to these

 are the lights of the village, and almost nightly dis- 
 plays of Chinese lanterns, roman candles, rockets and 
 other fireworks. l"his superb kaleidoscope of river 
 fires must be witnessed to be appreciated. 
 
 IMPORTANT KFFECTS. 
 
 Some of the important effects of a sojourn among 
 these Thousand Islands are : ist, health and happi- 
 ness; 2d, enthusiasm, and poetic feeling, as a substi- 
 tute for dullness and dry prose; 3d, love matches. 
 Concernmg this last it should be said that Cupid is 
 all-powerful here; the momentous question, which is 
 the key to the heaven of matrimony, has been asked 
 and answered several scores of times, on and along 
 tne river, during the past year. It is the resort before 
 all others for lovers and would-bo lovers. 
 
 ALEXANDRIA BAY. 
 
 This village, with a population of about seven 
 hundred, is the place to stop at and then start from, 
 when seeking the enjoyments of the islands. No 
 other place on the river can compare with it in pic- 
 tures<iue location^ proximity to the islands, good fish- 
 ing and hotel comforts. Here, too, is the 
 
 CHURCH OF THE THOUSAND ISLANDS, 
 
 built through 'he instrumentality of Rev. Dr. Geor-e 
 W. Bethune, of the Reformed Dutch Church, who 
 was a regular visitor at the Bay for many successive 
 years, commencing as early as 1845. This church 
 wasbudt m 185 1, and has been regularly occupied 
 for divme service according to the usages of that de- 
 nommation. Strangers are always welcome then 
 
 and i

 METHODIST CHURCH. 
 
 There is also a pretty little church recently completed by the Methodists at a cost of 
 about $6,000, finished inside in black walnut and ash, and nicely carpeted. It has a ca- 
 pacity for seating about three hundred persons. 
 
 PROSPECTIVE EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 
 
 Bishop Huntington and others are making an effort to secure the erection of an Episco- 
 l)al Chapel at the Bay, and a part of tlie necessary funds have been pledged and collected. 
 
 Lir.KARV 
 
 A fine library has been established at the Ray for the use of visitors, under the auspices 
 of the Y. M. C. A. It has about one thousand volumes, a large portion of which were gen- 
 erously donated by its founder, I )r. Holland. These will be increased from year to year. 
 
 THE CROSSMON. 
 
 ■J HE OLD AM) NEW. 
 
 We now come to that which provides sweet and invigorating rest after the varied river 
 
 ^sports, country drives and so- 
 jciabilities, we mean The 
 JCrossmon. The old hotel 
 under the same management 
 |as the new, has been referred 
 to. It had been the stopping 
 place for visitors to the islands 
 ifor more than a quarter of a 
 .century and acquired a repu- 
 tation during that time which 
 jany hotel with similar facili- 
 ties might be proud. The 
 new, many-towered Cross- 
 mon consists of a five-story 
 building, covering exactly the 
 site of the old hotel of pleas- 
 |ant memories. It is a pic- 
 turesque structure,harmonious 
 and pleasmg in proportion 
 and adornment, surrounded 
 by wide verandahs and tra- 
 v^ersed by spacious halls.

 Morning concerts are given by a fine orchestra, and the amusements of the day are

 enjoyment may be continued from early morning until late bedtime There are over five 
 hundred feet of verandahs, and guests may promenade the entire distance, and through the 
 long halls, without obstruction. 
 
 Appetizing lunches are neatly put up, free of charge, at the Hotel, for pic-nic and fishing 
 parties, and, after a ride on the river, are often enjoyed in the open air, under the trees,

 fishing tackle can be engaged for parties wishing ^them by applying at the hotel office. 
 
 The grounds of the hotel, over an acre in extent, have been nicely grassed and graded, 
 and are beautified in places with beds of flowers. 
 
 On the east, towards the bay, is an extensive lawn, reaching to the water's edge. On 
 this side is the principal landing place for yachts and smaller boats. On tlie north is a 
 rocky incline, spotted with grass and flowers. The grounds, as well as building, are bril- 
 liantly illuminated at night, colored lights shining in all the towers, which have a peculiarly 
 beautiful effect as seen from the river.

CENTENNIAL HALL, 
 
 AT.EXANIIBIA KAY, N. Y. 
 
 One of the most attractive features at Alexandria . Jay is Centennial Hnll. It is a magnificent 
 stmcture in the atyle of a Swiss cottage, 60.; 14 feet in size, entiivly surrouiulfil by :i broad veran- 
 dah 8i feet wide, making the entire dimensions 77x31 feet : thus affording a delightful uninter- 
 rupted promenade of 316 feet. 
 
 The entire finishing and furnishing is of the richest description. Its sides are made up of 
 windows, from each of which is a fine view. At each end are windows of stained glass. Flag- 
 staffs surmount the edifice, bearing the reHpcctivo banners of the United Stiitos and England. 
 Well, you ask, what is all this for ? Just what we ar coming at. Here will be kept 
 
 ALL THE DELICACIES OF THE SEASON. 
 
 Here you will find the most delicious of ice creams, made of cream, too, my dear madam. Think 
 of an iced lemonade in this delightful spot ! Perhaps it is some of those fresh tempting oranges, 
 pineapples, peaches or bananas that you prefer V If it ' e anything in the line of fruits, or the 
 most tempting of confectionery, they are here. Here, too, is the 
 
 CHOICEST LITERATURE OF THE DAY. 
 
 Books, papers, magazines, etc., and Mclntyre's Gems of the Thousand Isles are had here, and in 
 fact much of all that goes to make life pleasant as well as profitable. In a word, Centennial 
 Hall is un Grand Place du Resort. 
 
 DO NOT FAIL TO VISIT IT.
