OTH THE KENT HOUSE AND THE WALDMERE are under the same Proprietorship. 
 
 \ It is belieVi'd that niuch gooJ has been accomplished by the two houses worl<ing 
 
 together in harmony, under one management. The satisfactory result has proven tlie 
 
 ^JlT^ wisdom of tliis arrangement. While each will have its distinct individuality, the 
 
 M guests of either house will have all the privileges of the other. 
 
 Many radical changes and improvements have been made, some of which are on 
 Ion extensive a scale to be mentioned in detail, but much has been done that will add to the comfort 
 and convenience of guests. Among other things is tlie consolidation of the two lighting plants ; remov- 
 ing of casino building and gas holder; also, combining tlie two water systems and supplying both 
 hotels and all cottages from the Kent House Artesian Wells, wliich an analysis shows to be excep- 
 tionally pure. Much has been done in the way of renovating, painting, and laying out of the grounds, 
 so that Lakewood will look prettier than ever.

 of New York Stale, at an elevation of 1,^00 feet above the sea level and Scx) leet 
 above Lake Eric, from whicli it is but eight miles distant at its western extreniiiy. 
 Us pure, ileep, elear water conies almost entirely from underground springs, there being

T~ LI F- (~OTT3ri F S FI^"1<1'\? t'l^ hotels on three sides are the cottages. 
 ' Tliey are, properly speaking, a part of the hotels, 
 
 as they are occupied by people who live at the hotels, and have been brought to 
 Lakewood by its conveniences and the desirable society which a mingling of hotel 
 guests and cottagers has produced. The latter get their water from the famous 
 Kent House Artesian Wells, electric lights from the hotels, and take their meals 
 there. All lots are sold with provisions in the deeds requiring the erection of lirst- 
 class cottages ; that no stable or objectionable outbuildings shall ever be erected upon 
 the ground, or lic^uors sold on the premises ; thus protecting the cottage owner from 
 annoyance of this kind. A few cottages are for rent, they are favorably located near 
 the hotels, fronting towards the lake ; have all modern improvements, lighted by 
 electricity, electric bell connected with hotel office, bath and toilet rooms, with 
 arrangements for both hot and cold water.

 from this lake, and it is the only place where it aliounds. It is served daily upon the 
 tables of the Kent and the Waldmere. Black bass and other game fish abound in 
 great quantities, and the clear cold waters of Chautauqua are so well adapted to the 
 propagation of game fish that the Slate of New York has recognized this fact and 
 erected its State hatcheries upon the shores of this lake. 
 
 Muscallonge have been caught weighing as high as 4^ pounds, and small
