THE SPORTSMAN’S AND TOURIST’S GUIDE. 
shadowing hill on the north, a singularly 
beautiful and extensive outlook is obtain- 
ed, extending to the eastern slope of the 
Fishkill Mountains, north to the Shaw- 
angunk, and south and west to the Jer- 
sey hills. Among the lakes that are ac- 
cessible from Turner’s, are the following, 
all of them stocked with bass or pickerel, 
or both: Three miles east is Slaughter 
Lake, one and a half miles long, and one 
mile wide; two miles east, Rumsey Lake, 
containing one hundred acres; three miles 
and a half west, Little Long Lake, one 
mile Jong, and one-half mile wide; four 
miles west, and higher than the last-men- 
tioned, Monbasha Lake, with eight hun- 
dred acres; three miles southwest, Round 
Lake, two hundred acres. Quail, wood- 
cock, ruffed grouse, rabbits, and other 
game are found in fair numbers in the 
vicinity. Excellent board and rooms are 
furnished by Mrs. P. Turner and Mr. C. 
Ford, Jr., residing near the station, and 
A. Chase, Mrs. McKelvey, Peter Tur- 
ner, and N. Starkweather, living from 
one-eighth to one mile from the depot. 
Their prices range from $7 to $12 per 
week, ’ 
Monroe is fifty miles from New York, 
and occupies an elevated position, the 
highest of any station on the road, east 
of the Shawangunk Mountains. It is lit- 
erally aregion of lakes, and streams, and 
mountains, where both hunting and fish- 
ing can be enjoyed. There are one or 
two hotels and several boarding-houses 
where accommodations can be had at 
prices running from $6 to $15 per week. 
Florida is sixty-four miles from New 
York, by the Pine Island branch. A 
mile away, shimmering among the hills, 
is one of the famous lakes of the county, 
known as “The Mirror.” The pickerel 
of this lake afford rare sport to the ang- 
er. The shooting is pretty good over 
quail, woodcock, raffed grouse, rabbits, 
and squirrels. Both the sportsman and 
the lover of Nature generally will find 
excellent accommodations at the Glen- 
mere House. Accommodations can also 
be had at the private houses of George 
Seeley (farm), N. D. Houston, W. M. 
Sutton, and Mrs. Round. They charge 
from $6 to $8 a week. 
Guymard is eighty miles from New 
York, where there is the finest summer 
boarding-house within many a mile. Its 
existence was rendered necessary by the 
demand for some place where guests 
could spend the summer in this moun- 
tain neighborhood. The house overlooks 
the fairest portion of the Neversink Val- 
ley, and is on the shore of a large and 
picturesque lake, which has an outlet in 
a wild, deep gorge. Pickerel-fishing and 
boating are the summer pastimes, while 
the excellent shooting in the neighbor- 
hood will serve to while away the de- 
clining days of autumn. The price of 
board at the Guymard Springs House is 
$10 to $12 a week. The accomoda- 
tions are all that could be desired by the 
most fastidious. 
Port Jervis is eighty-eight miles from 
New York. East of the town, its sum- 
mit led up to by an easy wagon-road, is 
High Point, among the Shawangunks. 
There a lake of striking beauty lies, cool 
and rock-bound. The lake has been 
stocked with salmon, and is a favorite 
resort. There are other lakes in the vi- 
cinity of Port Jervis noted for their pick- 
erel-fishing. The Delaware River at this 
point furnishes unexcelled black-bass- 
fishing. The river was stocked with this 
game-fish six years ago, and they appear- 
ed last season in immense ‘ schools,” and 
thousands were taken at Port Jervis 
alone. This sport, in conneetion with the 
| many excellent game covers in the vici-
