PORTIvAND AND GEMS OF CASCO BAY G. W. MORKIS, Publisher. 124 Franklin Strfet, Portland, Maine r-i V Z'i y=3 -< '1^ PORTLAND, MAINE, AND VICINITY. THE man who said he was wedded to Nature made the statement without due regard to the eternal fitness of thinos. Nature is no man's blushing bride, knows naught of the love that enslaves. True, she has lovers by the thousands, followers, subjects if yon please, but no lord and master. She is absolute ijueen (if llic universe, to wiioiii all delight to pay homage. When Nature lured into existance the peninsula that is now l)eautiful Portland, slie left very little for the hand of man to do. Nowhere is there a more delightful sunnner resort in all the world. Sometimes you have accidently come across a magnificent painting, a handsome piece of architecture, or a pretty gem. A casual glance and you turned your back upon it : but you remember an irresistable impulse that made you retrace your steps to the ol)ject of your admiration where you were riveted to the spot as you drank in its beautv. Such an effect has the scenery in and about Portland upon the tourist wlio makes us a frying visit. He is l)ound to come the second time and remain long enough to create a desire in him to always remain here. He keeps coming, tells his fiiends about the " Forest City," and thus the tide of summer travel annually increases to the joy of railroad managers, hotel keepers and inisiiiess men. What little, if any, effect the annual appearance of this modest volume may have had in iniinencing the seeker after perfect rest from business cares to spend a portion of his or her vacation among us, is due to the pictures of Portland's scenery rather than the descriptive matter. Realizing that " word painting " is utterly inade(iuate to convey even the slightest hint of the Forest City's grandeur, the writer will content himself with an attempt to place before the readers a brief sketch of tlie many points of interest that occur to iiim. Portland ])roper, the peninsula kissed by the water of tlie Atlantic, is nearly three miles long and three-Ciuarters of a mile wide. Fore River divides it on the southerly side from Cape Elizabeth and forms what is called tlie Inner Harbor. On the northerly side the Neck is separated I)y the waters of Back Cove from Deering. Tlie city has- an elevation of 161 feet at some points and its almost perfect system of sewerage, together with its altitude and cleanliness, has made it famous for its low death rate. Its streets are neat and clean, and are lined with stately siiade trees, wliich give the city, viewed from its highest point, the apiiearaiice of a vast forest: hence the name "Forest City." Should you approach the city through tiie Wiiile Mountains by tlie Maine Central Railroad, or along the coast via the Boston & Maine, you will be somewhat [irepared for the magnificient scenery that trreels the eye on alighting from tiie train at the I'liion Station. Hut all previous views, restful and suul-stirring- though they may be, are lint the taste that whets tlie appetite for a scenic feast that Portland and vicinity alone can gratify. 2 THE ISLANDS OF CASCO BAY. -^HE fame of Casco Bay and its almost iiuml,erless island, l.as long since spread tl.rough the northern and eastern seetion of tlie country. Campers and cottagers have for years made their summer abodes at the sequestered and attractive spots on the Maine coast. Several lines of island steamers make it convenient for Portland pe,.ple as well as tourists and visitors to take up their residence down the bay during the pleasant months from early June to late in September, the run from Peaks, Diamo.id and Cusinng-s Islands beinc made m twenty nn.uites. Farther dowi the bay are (heat Diamond, Long, Chebeague, Orr's and Bailey's Islands, and Harpswell, a projection of territory from the n.ainland. Falmouth Forside, also on the mainland, has a line of steamers touching its wharf. Peaks Island is the most populous place in tiic bay during the height of the warm season. At this island maybe found the " (iem," beyond question the handsomest sununer theatre in the cou.itrv, and one of tlie largest and most modernly equipped. A company from the leading playhouses of tlie country is selected each season for the production of the latest iiiglK-lass comedies. The i,otels of the island are always tilled to the Innit wth t.mnsts: and i,un.lreds of cottages on the hills and slopes furnish in.provi.sed homes for a vast army of humanity. (.)ne of the features of the season is a boatmg carnival, whirl, forms a gala event in the stirring season's programme of tliis " Coney Island of New England." If inquest of all the best features of a summer resort, tishing, batiiing, society and theatre, together with all the comforts of home, at a moderate cost the tourist will go no further than Peaks Island. Shade trees in abundance, Hnely laid out and carefully looked after thoroughfares, an all-the-vear-round population that is known lor Its courtesy and hospitality, make this resort, within a few minutes' ride from the citv, an ideal resting place. Good water, plenty of wood for the picking, tishing grounds and neigliboring islands, have made this spot tlie rendezvous of campers for years. It is a well wooded island, almost every known tree indigenous to Maine soil being represented here. T«o an.l a half miles long by ,me and a-juarter miles wide, there is ample room for carriage driving, and many families annually bring their private turnouts iiere. If one is desirous of doing the island by carriage, lie will find conveyances to liis taste at a moment's notice. Tiie new Peaks Island House, just completed, and wliicli was built the past winter, is a hotel wiiicli has accommodati.ms for l^OO guests and is an imposing structure, situated but a short walk from the steamboat landing. It will be under the careful management ,,f K. A. Sawyer wh,. has catered at tiie old Peaks Island House for more than tiiirty years. The new Peaks Island Hotel has all tiie modern improvements m the way of many bath rooms, electric lights, electric bells, etc. Tiie tourist spending his or her vacation at the hotel will tinil it a must excellent jilace to sojourn a few weeks (Un'ing the snninier. The table will he kept up to the verv best that can be secured from the market. The old i\>aks Island House had a wide re|)utation for the cxcelleney of its sea food dinners. It will still be the aim of the proprietor to serve the finest of fish dinners, and hold the reputation the old liouse enjnyed amonnthe many ihdusands of its friends. The veranda eonnnands a t;'rand view of the great harlior and islands of Caseo Hay. and those wlm are so fortunate as to make the above house their home will enjoy the scenery very nindi. At Little and (iieat Diamond Islands, like Cushings, are the summer homes of the wealthy and C(^iiservative. At Cushinos, however, in addition to handsome and costly cottages, is tlie widely-known Ottawa Hoitse. Long Island and llarpswell ha\e hotel acconnuodations, as well as cottages for those who prefer the rustic life among the woods of Casco {{ay's gems. •lust as Cushing"s is the most (diaractcristic island of tiie bay, combining every desirable seaside feature, from boldest .sea-cliff to silvei-sanded l)athing lieaidi, from forest to meadow land ; so is the Ottawa House the only hotel of modern construction, si/,e and appointments existing among the islands of Casco Bay. Of all tiie islands that art; in close touch with the city of Portland, and obviously these are the most populous and popular of the bay, Cusiiing's has numerous [loints of superiority as a resting retreat. First, it is the farthest seaward of all ; that is, it occurs first, heading tiie alignment of isles which extend from the Cape Elizabeth shore to tiie long peninsula of Harpswell. Between this landward shore, wiiich slopes gently to the sea, and the mainland shores of Cape Elizai)eth, c-ottage-covered, exists the narrow ship channel, through wiiich are cdiitinually passing the members of numerous mercantile, fisiiing and pleasure fleet whose home port is the beautifid peninsular city of Portland, three miles distant. The summer life of Casco Bay is very merry and is nowhere seen to more lively advantage than from the broad verandas of the loftily situated Ottawa House, Cushing's Island. Long Island is one of the largest islands of the bay, it has a poi)iilation of :iOi), nr thereabouts, in addition to its crowds of summer visitors. It has a woild-wide reputation fur "clam bakes" and "shore dinners,"' due largely to tiie efforts of E. Ponce, the proprietor of tlie (iranite Spring Hotel. Boating, batliing and fishing, togetiier with its large groves, its distance from the city, make this island much sought after bv picnic parties, campers, tourists and pleasure seekers. In the season it is not uncommnn for a dozen different excursion parties to visit this spot on the same day. Each is usually attended liy a band, and the woods eclni and re-echo with music. This is also the headijuarters for several regimental associations who have Imilt substantial buildings liere. The sail to this island, for a short trip, cannot be excelled for beautv of sccnerv. There are many ailvaiita<;es to lie enjoyed at this island that many otiier ishinds in C'asei) Ba\'d(i iKil pussess. There are grand t'arilitics fur liathin^;- at many heautii'ul, sandy iieaeiies. where liatiiinn' can he enjoved at all times of day. There is sjileiidid deep-sea tisiiing, where you can catch many varieties of tiie very best lish that tiiis part of the bay is so abundantly supplied with. There are plenty of clams to be had for the digging, and no lietter to be had anywhere on the Atlantic coast. Tliere are many marine views that are grand to look upon, and the drives are numerous. So, take it all in all, l.cmg Island is a beautiful place to spend a da\', a week, ninnth nr all summer. 'J'lie hotels and Itoarding-houses are aood. .Vmoiip- the best are the (iranite Sririna' Hotel, K. Ponce, proprietor, and the Dirigo House, Mrs. Perry, proprietor, as well as manv good restaurants, do to l^ong Island and enjoy the good air, good water, the cool sea breeze, beautiful sailing, as well as good company. It does not cost nuxcli to enjoy all this at this place. For the guidance of the stranger within our gates, it might be well to keeji in mind that the Casco Bay Company's steamers leave Custom House Wharf, at frequent intervals, for the following landings, down the bay: Little and Great Diamond Islands, Trefethen's and Evergreen, Peaks Island and Ponce's Landing, Long Island. One of the company's best steamers takes care of this route, while anothei steamer, connnodious and speedy, and liglited by electricity and sujiplicd with a powerful search light, devotes its entire service between Portland and Cushing's and Forest City Landing at Peaks Island. For an interesting sail, the Harpsvvell Steaml)oat Company's boats, leaving Portland Pier, supply a good breath of salt air and cover a distance of eighteen miles, as far as Harpswell, touching on the way at Long, Chebeagues and ( )rr"s islands. The steamers of tlie McDonald Steandioat Company are well patronized during the sunnner on their trips to Falmouth Foreside, Prince's Point, Cousin's, Littlejohn, Cliebeague, Bustin's and Orr's islands, and Cundy's Harbor, Small Point and Freep(.)rt. 'I'liese steamers furnish a beautiful sail among the islands of the bay. Portland's capitalists invested well when they developed into an entrancing park, called I'nderwood Springs, the forests and rugged bluffs on the easterly shore of Casco l>ay. The Underwood Spring water, the medicinal and health-giving beverage which issues in copious draughts through the ledges in the park, is popularly used in the cities of America and the old world by the lovers of pure, sparkling water. The fascination of the odor of pines whicii pervades its atmosphere, its nooks and ravines and rustic bridges, its mammoth electric fountain and lookouts on tlie cliffs overlooking the tides with the distant islands, can never be told in words. It is one of the latest (if the numerous attractions on tlie line of the electric I'ailroads radiating from Portland, and its name and attractiveness liecoming familiar t(i the annual influx of visitors to this region of New England. A sumiuer nio-ht at RivertDii Park is a veritable dreamland, where mental and physical weariness will lind relief in Nature's tonic of wooded scenery and refreshing breezes from the waters of the Presumpscot. In the course of a week fifteen to twenty thousand people visit this park and revel in its outdoor summer splendors. It is .not an uncommon sight to see from a dozen to twenty of the commodious and comfortable electric cars of the Portland Street Railway Company leaving the head of Preble street for the glades of Riverton. Two relined vaudeville performances are given each day at the rustic theatre which slopes toward the river, the eartii below and tlie sununer sky al)ove serving as floor and arch to this natural playhouse. Stately oaks and inajilcs, with spreading branches, make an enclosure and add to the picturesqueness of tlie surroundings. The piomoters of tlie transt'ornuition of this primeval landscape into a breathing ground of recreation supplied every artistic touch which the outlay of capital could conunand. Since the inauguration of the electrics to Cape Elizabeth from Portland, there is no more frequented place among the sul)url)an attractions than tlie shore road which leads to the once celebrated Cape Cottage and from which may be observed the ocean in all its splendor. It is generally conceded that there is no more beautiful spot in all the coast states than this healthful resort for thousands of tourists, cooled by the neighboring sea and refreslied by its bracing breezes. Tiiere is no more fascinating scene tiian, after a storm, to behold the foam-crested breakers dashing up against the jagged cliffs which jut into the ocean, the spray rising hundi'eds of feet into the air and presenting a i)icture that Nature alone can paint. It is, indeed, soothing to the weary traveler, after tlie shades of twilight have deej^ened and night has enveloped all the world about, to listen to the murnuir nf the waves as they leap upon tlic sliorc and, continuing tlieir weird chant, return to join the millions of white caps on the l)road expanse. Cliff House, formerly called Cliff Cottage, magnificently situated on the shore of Cape Elizabeth, Me.; the location of tiiis hotel is one of the grandest on the Maine coast — facing the broad ocean and in view of the many beautiful islands dotted here as far as the eye can reach. The hotel is under the able management of (icii. II. Davis. The hotel is conducted on up-tmlate principle, the house is furnished with all modern conveniences such as electric lights and many other advantages. (UM (irounds connected with hotel; the house contains over 100 rooms. CITY HALL.
