 THE FRONTENAC is located on Island Fronte- 
 nac, St. Lawrence River, New York, in the heart 
 of the Thousand Islands, and overlooks an unrivaled 
 panorama of river, islands and woodland. It is recog- 
 nized as an ideal summer resort hotel, thoroughly modern 
 and convenient and is favored especially by families who 
 desire ease and comfort. 
 
 The main building and annex contain over three 
 hundred and fifty luxuriously furnished rooms, the major- 
 ity being en suite, and all commanding extensive views 
 of the river and islands. There are one hundred private 
 baths, together with numerous general baths on each 
 floor. The buildings are lighted with electricity and 
 are warmed by steam and open fires ; they are well 
 equipped with elevators, numerous stairways and exits. 
 The plumbing and fixtures are the best and no expense 
 has been spared to make this hotel the finest of its kind. 
 
The public rooms are unusually large and artistically 
 furnished ; the library and reading-rooms are well sup- 
 plied with standard fiction, magazines and papers. 
 
 The Frontenac is celebrated for its high-class service 
 and excellent table.

 The sanitary arrangements are beyond criticism; the 
 island is perfectly drained and it is entirely free from 
 flies and mosquitoes. 
 
 A resident physician is in attendance at the hotel 
 during the season. 
 
 The drinking water used is the product of the Great 
 Bear Springs of Fulton, N. Y., and is remarkable for its 
 great purity ; it is bottled at the springs by most approved 
 methods and stored in refrigerators until used.

 Island Frontenac contains about two hundred acres ; 
 the shores are bold and rocky, (ringed with forest growth, 
 and abound in pleasant paths and secluded nooks. 
 
 The grounds are beautifully parked, contain fine 
 lawns, numerous walks and roads, and a superb nine- 
 hole golf course. 
 
 Grouped about the island and completely surround- 
 ing the hotel are masses of shrubs and flowers, the 
 ever changing color and perfume of which are a con- 
 tinual delight and, added to the natural beauty of the 
 region, form a combination not readily forgotten.

Cloudless days ; cool, dry nights ; no fogs or mists ; 
 perfect immunity from hay fever ; balmy breezes that 
 rout oppressive heat ; no humidity ; gorgeous sunsets ; 
 winding channels and day-long stretches of open v^^ater, 
 pure and limpid ; emerald isles of every form and size — 
 these are some of the natural attractions. 
 
 An orchestra, dancing, tennis courts, bowling, billiards, 
 boating, fishing and numerous other forms of amusement, 
 also delight and entertain. 
 
The golf course is an agreeable surprise to golfers ; 
 being situated on an island, many strangers infer that 
 it is a course in name only. It consists of nine holes, 
 with a playing distance of about two thousand six 
 hundred yards; it follows the shore of the island, has 
 a fine, soft turf and many natural and artificial hazards. 
 A unique feature is that at no point do you lose 
 sight of the river, and many of the views are exceed- 
 ingly beautiful. A competent instructor is in charge, 
 who keeps a large stock of supplies constantly on hand. 
 No charge is made to hotel patrons for use of the links. 
 
The finest fishing grounds in this region are located 
 within the immediate vicinity — black bass, muskallonge, 
 pike, pickerel, perch and other fish abounding— and a day's 
 sport with the rod, coupled with one of the famous 
 island dinners, prepared at an open fire on one of the 
 many islands as only a Frontenac guide can prepare 
 it, is a long remembered event. 
 
 The guides are excellent cooks and their skiffs are 
 models of safety, neatness and utility, being thoroughly 
 equipped with all kinds of fishing tackle.

The Thousand Islands are the delight of lovers of 
 yachting ; the great purity of the water ; the ever chang- 
 ing scenery, as the innumerable channels or broad open 
 stretches are traversed ; safe and convenient harbors ; 
 and at Frontenac the finest docks on the whole St. 
 Lawrence, all contribute toward making this an ideal spot. 
 
 Three different excursion yachts leave Frontenac 
 daily, morning and afternoon, for the world renowned 
 fifty mile ramble among the islands, and in the 
 evening the steamer St. Lawrence makes her famous 
 search light excursion. 
 
 Yachts and launches of every description may be 
 chartered for any length of time at reasonable rates.

 The Frontenac owns over three thousand feet of 
 dock, which is always at the disposal of guests with 
 yachts ; the arrangement is such that a good harbor 
 IS assured. These docks have been patronized to such 
 an extent that it has been necessary to double their 
 capacity during the past two years.

Directly in front of the hotel are the racing courses 
 of the Frontenac Yacht Club. Having been surveyed 
 on the ice they are absolutely accurate and are pro- 
 nounced by experts to be the finest motorboat courses 
 in the world. 
 
 Some of the fastest yachts built participated in the 
 races last season and many handsome cups were given 
 in the various events. The races this season will be 
 an attractive feature.
