various industry we found a very 
good little house for tourists: Ho- 
tel Bristol. With other touring par- 
ties like our own, we put up here for 
the night, and were well-cared for 
and courteously entertained. 
We left Bristol Tuesday morning 
at nine o’clock and our course was 
through a country the beauties of 
which increased and were magnified 
as we went on. We skirted New 
Found lake, a most enhancing sheet 
of water, for miles; passed through 
Plymouth, and every mile came 
nearer to the beauty and the gran- 
deur of the White Mountains. We 
dined at the Flume House, a good 
house indeed; went to see the Pool 
which is indeed a wonderful sight, 
and worth much to see. Some of the 
party had seen it at other visits to 
the mountains. We had a_ most 
felicitous view of the ‘‘Old Man of 
the Mountain.’’ It was at the early 
afternoon and our point of view 
was most perfect, and the light was 
best. The ‘‘Old Man’’ was in utter 
repose in all of his sublime dignity. 
This formation of rock is truly mar- 
velous! Nothing impressed _ the 
children more deeply than this. Our 
course was past the Profile House, 
which. is beautifully placed, and 
Keho Lake where we paused to hear 
the echo. A boy blew for us a horn 
with a megaphone attachment, but 
the wind was a little too strong to 
get the echo best, yet we could hear 
sufficiently to perceive how wonder- 
ful it must be when the air is per- 
feetly still. 
On we went down the three mile 
hill, across country into beautiful 
Bethlehem. Here is given, perhaps 
‘the best and widest view of the 
White Mountain country. The 
over-reach of vision across’ the 
country is here most engaging cer- 
tainly. We stopped here just long 
enough to get pennants to decorate 
the auto, and went on to Bretton 
~ Woods. 
We arrived at Mt. Pleasant hotel 
at about 5 p.m., where we put up 
over night. We enjoyed our stay 
at this house, as every guest cer- 
tainly must. 
Wednesday morning we start from 
| Bretton Woods for Poland Spring. 
| Running slowly and stopping at 
points of greatest interest we go 
through the Crawford Notch, a sheer 
eut through the body of the moun- 
tain. This huge gap, laid open by 
the skill and perseverance of man 
but adds a deeper interest to the 
natural grandeur and majesty of the 
whole mountain scenery. 
We found good roads almost. en- 
tirely through the mountains. Our 
course this day lay through Bart-

way, where we had—some of the 
party — passed a month fourteen 
years ago. Then on into Maine 
through the town and country por- 
tion of Fryeburg, and Bridgeton, 
across country to Poland Spring, 
where we arrived at about 5.30 p. m. 
This is perhaps the most popular re- 
sort in New England. The Poland 
Spring Hotel is most exquisitely sit- 
uated on the summit of a hill which 
gives a most charming view of vast 
reach across the beautiful country 
of Maine. Here come guests in great 
numbers to drink the famous Po- 
land Spring water which sells in 
New York city for fifty cents a 
bottle. The spring is on the hill 
top, nearly, beneath an erected can- 
opy of beautiful white marble. A 
boy stands there in the livery of 
the hotel, and pumps from the 
spring the water that is clear 
as crystal, and gives a_ glass 
is clear as crystal, and gives a glass 
to everyone who wishes to drink. 
Hard by is the beautiful stone and 
marble building in which the water 
is bottled for transportation and 
sale, and into which guests may look 
from galleries inclosed with plate 
glass. This is a spot of beauty and 
grandeur with a magnificent hotel 
splendidly managed, and enormous- 
ly patronized. Thursday morning 
we started for Gray to visit a friend 
who owns and manages a large farm 
there. 
West Gloucester, Mass. 
We left here soon after noon as 
we had many miles to cover before 
night. Our next point was Bruns- 
wick. We were strongly impressed 
in favor of Bowdoin college town. 
We made no stop this time but on 
our way back the following morn- 
ing stopped to do some shopping 
and were very courteously treated. 
We pressed on to Richmond where 
we met friends and put up for the 
night, and found good rooms and a 
good table in the little hotel at 
Richmond. 
Next morning, Friday, we start on 
our home stretch. In Brunswick we 
ride around the college grounds, and 
though of course the college is closed 
at this time, we felt strongly the pe- 
culiar atmosphere of the seat of 
learning. We then strike for Port- 
land, which we reach at noon. Here 
we take lunch and do a little shop- 
ping. We all like Portland exceed- 
ingly. As we approach Portsmouth 
and Newburyport, we find the roads 
growing better and better, and the 
finest roads of the whole tour are 
between Newburyport and Ipswich. 
We speeded up a little on these 
good roads reaching forty miles an 
hour, and reached home at five p. m., 
Friday, safe, well, and wholly de- 
lighted with the five days’ tour.
