the walls of this most modern Inn. The cuisine will be maintained at that same high standard of excellence which was set
during its first season, in 1899.
The summer pleasures which it offers are as diversified as at
any resort in the world, making each day
~~em but a fleeting moment, until the time
for home going comes all too soon.
A fine bathing beach gives a chance for
a morning swim; an excellent golf course,
laid out by Professor Fenn, helps to round
out the morning's pleasure, or, if preferred,

many respects as remarkable as any in the world.
Leaving the
Union Station in Portland, over the Mountain Division of
the Maine Central Railroad, a half-hour's ride takes one to
Sebago Lake Station, where a transfer is made to the steamers of
the Sebago Lake, Songo River and Bay of Naples Steamboat Company. The course lies over the beautiful Sebago Lake and up the
most winding river in the world, the Songo, made famous by Longfellow and Hawthorne. So tortuous and crooked is this stream
that steamers going in opposite directions steam alongside of each
other for nearly a mile, separated by only a little strip of land.
Following the serpentine windings of
this unique stream , the steamer emerges
into the Bay of Naples, passing through
the Songo lock, the only lock in New
England now used by steamers, and
lands its passengers directly in front of

with the steamer and lands passengers in Portland in ample time
to connect with the evening trains and the boat for Boston.
