Il8 GAME AND FISH RESORTS. 



To reach this hunting ground, the sportsman has a choice ol 

 .wo routes. First — leave the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg

 miles by stage, three times a week, or by private conveyances. 

 At Fine, one can put up at a good hotel, or go on five miles to

 to the foot of still water on the outlet or inlet, as the river is fre-

 railroad at Canton and go direct to the foot of Cranberry Lake by 

 team. The distance is about forty miles, and is accomphshed in
