telescope -a small' clearing in the forest, anti on the
brow of'.a rising ground a cottage. delightfully situ-
eted. Nor were we left long in doubt for, on ap
preaching the place, we met a canoe having onboard
a strange, combination of Indians, . velveteens and
whiskers, and discovered within the roots' of the. red
chair the living features of Dr, Dunlop. Having
crossed the river's bar of eight Rea, Ave 'came to a
beautiful anchorage of fourteen feet of water tri an
uncommonly ,pleasant baths." There the two 'cour-
•
ageotla .voyagers united in founding what is now
kribwri as, the 'beautiful town of Cioderich.
In 1826 the ,town's 'need of accommodation ,eve
satiaaed by the erection of .a. little lig tavern do=

Thera on the bluff of the hill overlooking the lake

the social life°:of the early Settlers. 'I'rom the pages
of "The Days of the' Canada Company" we find that
"Poor . Reed's ' Hotel, the best hostelry in the place
d t of most of the revels of the "day; where the
Clinton people and those •outside the, 'rOwrl 'put up'

Dr; Hamilton and : the Otters, and `Bignalis, the

;far ,cricket and culoits :by, the Lysters and Dixie
son and genial Charlie'Widder, Damn Don,, and others•
of the beaux who .missed their club life.' Where
Judge Reed anti. Woodliffe and their' cronies sat -on. •
the benches and sunned themselves of bright after- '
nouns; where the seats, along the tank were filled
evening after evening with people who never 'wearied
of that .gorgeous' pageant, .not i;olcur but „eonflagra

were so. famous that • travellers made the detour to

would crumble and disappear."
A worthy successor to the fine 'traditions of : the
old Reed Hotel, the splendid modern Hotel Sunset
stands within a stone's throw of the site of that fain-
