Dr, Fowler and Messrs. W. H. Cow-
an, Howard Cowan, Gordon Cuning-
hame, all of Clinton, Harold Turner
of Goderich, Carl East of Toronto
and Roy East of St. Catharines went
up to Bale -de -dare, which is a charmi-
ing little bay about fifty-five rnilee
north. of Goderich; and spent the
week -end and holiday. They
stayed at a little hunt
ing and fishing lodge belongong to
Dr. Fowler and. Messrs. Cuninghame,
Turner, Carl East and Geo. Van -
Horne, who could not get away on
this particular time, and they report
a very fine holiday.
This little bay, called Baie-de-done,,
which is said to be Spanish for "Bay
of Gold," having relation to the
golden rays of the setting sun on the
water, not to the presenceof any of
the precious yellow metal; is said to
be set in a seemingly out of the way
section, although it is really not far
from well -tilled and inhabited farm
holdings. But it is more or , less:
thickly wooded and supplies good
cluck -hunting in the, marshes and
pike and bass fishing in the little
bay. One big lilke was caught there
this spring measuring forty-three in-
ches and weighing twenty-seven
pounds, Once a thriving and busy
village occupied a place near where;
this hutting lodge now stands and
the •remains of a wharf and a saw-
mill still remain.
It was the late Rev. A. A. Holmes,
who dearly loved • to get away from
the haunts of men for a few days
in the wilds, who first recognized In
it the possibilities of a pleasant holi-
day site, and he. came home and in-
terested some of his friends in it
and they got the cabin erected. lie
had spent several short holidays at
the cabin before his sudden passing,
and the friends who now enjoy it er-
ten speak and think, of him when
they go up fol a little outing:
The log cabin is built. for comfort
but only. necessary equipment is con-
tained in it A screened -in porch
has been added this year, however,
which will be a great convenience,
for, ,as is the case at most summer
resorts, the mosquitoes are,sontetimes
troublesome. But, now . the rnernbers
of the little, company can sit in corn•

moonlight on the bay of gold, after a
hard day's fishing and before turn-
ing in for the night,
