Ram Island is accessible 
HERE came into the possession of the BrreEze this 
week a circular describing a remarkable bit of Man- 
chester property, that far end of Smith’s Point known as 
‘Ram Island,”’—so far as we know, the only bit of prop-

is famous this bit of detached main-land is an ideal site 
for a summer home, but because of the years of litigation 
has been until now unavailable. It is in fact the only avail- 
able property on the beautful point which is in the market 
for that purpose. 
The island lies on the extreme tip of Smith’s Point. 
At low tide it may be reached by carriage with little dif-
