LAWRENCE RIVER C.G.TRUSSELL FR.ONTENACNBW YORK Opens in o7ime and confinues f/irouan September ^nofe/ ^Tronfenac 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 warmed by steam and open fires; they are well equip ped 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. r *%&*¦'''* r--7-^^' ¦¦'.. ^J$J0'A " 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, fringed 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 water, 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 hundreds 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 slock 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 abound ; 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.
