I could have enjoyed myself much longer
in this park, as it was so beautiful. From
the park dock we moved around tbe upper
end of tbe island, and noticed the beauti
ful situation of some of the cottages
nearest tke river bank. After traveling
awhile we reach We troinster park, at
whose dock we make our last landing be
fore returning to Alexandria Bay. The
grounds have not been opened very much,
some fine cottages and residences have
been built, which, with the Park house,
generally accommodate a population of
several hundred daring the summer
month?. Some think that this yet going
to be the park of the Thousand Islands.
While the steamer stops a few minutes
here, we have occasion to look at tbe
Park house, and get a glimpse of some of
the cottages behind different trees,
which, to see them all distinctly would
require several hours. After leaving this
park, we set our course homeward. We
are again at Alexandria Bay. This was
really a grand ride on the water, an I 1
i enjoyed it very much. I had the pleas
ure of becoming acquainted with some
very nice people while on my ride. Amid
all these pleasures, I never once forgot
my beloved state—Arkansas —and when
ever I had a chance. I would speak of it.
Taking all in all, I will say that this has
been a very pleasant trip, and I hope
that this description will give your read
ers a little idea of their beauty who have
never had an opportunity of the “Thous
and Islands.”
