Summer residences, with gardens and 
fountains, adorn the street that follows 
the line of the beach, and lend a home- 
like aspect. Numerous two-masted Mac- 
kinae boats and other craft at anchor off 
shore, or alongside the 
little piers that reach 
out from land, give 
animation to the pret- 
ty scene. 
The situation of the 
Tsland of Mackinac is 
romantic, and it is not

southern peninsulas of

waters of Huron and 
Michigan meet. ‘Lhe

and heavy flannels. The air, while never 
warm, is tempered by the winds from the 
great lakes, and strikes the cheeks grate- 
fully. The accommodations provided for 
the entertainment of tonrists at the is- 
Jand are ample and ofthe best. Steam-
