 the water in front. Finally, by a niagniticent run back-

 on the rock. It was a tine triumph of mind over matter, 

 and we heartily cheered, while the Judge waved his In-oken 

 rod and tangled line, and joined in the shouts. 



(!)n the northerly side of the lake, near Smith's clearing, 

 is the outlet of Harrington's Pond, a goodl}^ stream that 

 comes tumbling down the rocks and forms a favorite pool 

 for ti-out. We had some of our tinest sport there, in water 

 then about eight feet deep. There were also points in the 

 lake where submerged islands just lifted their rocky crowns 

 above the surface. These seemed to be chosen haunts of 

 the trout, and we took our largest at such places. There 

 are various small lakes and ponds, not distant and easily- 

 accessible, but we visited none of them. Later in the sea- 

 son they are said to afford rare sport.
