To the right is Lake Waukewan. We now turn away from Lake Winnepesaukee. 121 M. Ashland. At (123 M.) Bridgewater we cross the Pemigewasset (g soft; 'place of crooked pines').

126 M. Plymouth (*Pemigewasset Ho., $2-4, meal-station; Plymouth Ho., $2), in the beautiful valley of the Pemigewasset, 7 M. to the W. of Squam Lake (p. 118). A good view is obtained from Walker's Hill, close to the village and *Mt. Prospect (2070 ft.), 4 M. to the N.E., commands a splendid panorama of the Franconia Mts. (N.), Sandwich Mts., and Lake Winnepesaukee. Plymouth is known for its buckskin gloves, and contains the old court-house where Daniel Webster made his first plea.

FROM PLYMOUTH TO NORTH WOODSTOCK, 21 M., railway in 3/4 hr. This line ascends the Valley of the Pemigewasset and leads to the heart of the Franconia Mts. (see p. 128). Fine views. 21 M. North Woodstock (*Deer Park Hotel, $3; Fair View, $2) is finely situated at the S. end of the *Franconia Notch, 10 M. from the Profile House (see p. 128; stage).

Our train now ascends the valley of the Baker River. Small stations. 146 M. Warren (Langdon Ho., $11/2) is the starting-point of the stage to the (10 M.) top of Mt. Moosilauke ('bald place'; 4790 ft.), which has been conspicuous to the right for some time (Tip-Top Ho., at the top, $2-4; Moosilauke, at the base, $3; Mountain Ho., halfway up, $11/2-2). The *View of the White Mts., the Franconia Mts., and the Connecticut Valley is very fine. Near (150 M.) Warren Summit (1060 ft.), the highest point on the line (path to the top of Mt. Moosilauke, 5 M.), the train passes through a deep rock-cutting. At (168 M.) Woodsville, at the mouth of the Ammonoosuc (p. 126), we cross the Connecticut to

169 M. Wells River Junction (Rail. Restaurant), where our line joins the Passumpsic Division of the Boston and Maine Railroad. Wells River is also the junction of lines to the White Mts. and Montpelier (see below).

FROM WELLS RIVER JUNCTION TO GROVETON JUNCTION, 52 M., railway in 21/2-3 hrs. This line runs into the heart of the White Mts. (see R. 16) and forms part of one of the regular through-routes from New York and Boston (comp. p. 121). The White Mt. expresses from the latter city do not cross the river at Wells Junction. The train ascends along the Ammoosuc. 4 M. Bath. From (9 M.) Lisbon coaches run to Sunset Hill Ho. (p. 130). 20 M. Littleton (Oak Hill, Chiswick, $3; Thayer's, $2-3; The Maples), a pleasant resort, from which stages run to (6 M.) Franconia (p. 130). 25 M. Wing Road is the junction of the line to (4 M.) Bethlehem Junction, (8 M.) Twin Mt. House, (11 M.) Zealand, (12 M.) White Mt. House, and (13 M.) Fabyan's (comp. p. 127). [From Bethlehem Junction a narrow-gauge railway runs to (2 M.) Maplewood, (3 M.) Bethlehem Street, and (10 M.) the Profile House; see p. 111.] 31 M. Whitefield (p. 126), the junction of the Maine Central line to Jefferson (see p. 111); 42 M. Lancaster (see p. 111). 52 M. Groveton Junction, see p. 109.

FROM WELLS RIVER JUNCTION TO MONTPELIER, 39 M., railway in 13/4 hr. 23 M. Marshfield. 39 M. Montpelier, see p. 117.

Beyond (181 M.) Barnet we leave the valley of the Connecticut, which bends to the N.E., and ascend along the Passumpsic, which we cross 25 times in 24 M. - 190 M. St. Johnsbury (St. Johnsbury Ho., Avenue Ho., $2-21/2), a busy little town of 6567 inhab., with

the Fairbanks Scales Works, a Soldiers' Monument, and an Art Gallery. It is the junction of lines to (22 M.) Lunenburg (p.112) and (96 M.) Swanton (p. 115). – 199 M. Lyndonville, with the Great Falls of the Passumpsic. At (213 M.) Summit Station (1050 ft.), wecross the watershed between the Connecticut and the St. Lawrence.

235 M. Newport (700 ft.; *Memphremagog Ho., $21/2-3; Newport Ho., $ 11/2-2), a village with 3000 inhab., is prettily situated at the head (S. end) of Lake Memphremagog and is a good centre for excursions. Good view of the lake from Prospect Hill. Jay Peak (4018 ft.), 12 M. to the W., commands a wide prospect.

*Lake Memphremagog ('beautiful water'; 470 ft.), a lovely sheet of water, 30 M. long and 2-4 M. wide, lies one-fifth in Vermont and fourfifths in Canada. It is enclosed by rocky shores and wooded hills, and its waters abound in lake-trout (salmo confinis), pickerel, perch, and bass. A small steamer plies daily between Newport (see above) and Magog, at the N. end of the lake (there and back about 6-7 hrs.). Passing Indian Point and the Twin Sisters, we cross the Canadian line near Province Island. On the W. (left) shore we stop at (12 M.) the Mountain House ($2-3), at the foot of the prominent Owl's Head (3270 ft.), which is ascended hence in 1/2-21/2 hrs. The *View includes, on a clear day, Montreal and the Green, White, and Adirondack Mts. Farther on the steamer passes Long Island and calls at some small landings. On the E. shore are the country-houses of several wealthy Montrealers, and on the W. rises Mt. Elephantis (Revere Ho.). Georgeville (Camperdown Hotel), on the E. bank, 20 M. from Newport, is a quiet and inexpensive watering-place. - Magog (Park's House), at the N. end of the lake, at its outlet through the Magog River, is a good fishing-station and is connected by railway (C. P. R.) with (19 M.) Sherbrooke (p. 109). Mt. Orford, 5 M. to the W., affords a good view of the Canadian pine-forests to the N. and W.

From Newport there are two routes to Montreal: viâ Sherbrooke (p. 109) and the Grand Trunk Railway, and viâ Richford and the Canadian Pacific Railway. In the mean time we follow the latter.

At first we run W. to (266 M.) Richford, whence a branch-line diverges on the left to Sheldon Junction and St. Albans (p. 115). At Richford we cross the Canadian frontier and proceed N. to (278 M.) Sutton Junction. Here we turn again to the W. 314 M. St. John's, and thence to (344 M.) Montreal, see Baedeker's Canada.

The other line from Newport to Montreal (see above) crosses an arm of Lake Memphremagog (see above), enters Canada, and traverses the picturesque 'Eastern Townships'. 241 M. Stanstead Junction; 256 M. Massawippi, near the pretty lake of that name, which lies to the left. Thence we ascend along the Massawippi to (272 M.) Lennoxville. 275 M. Sherbrooke, and thence to (383 M.) Montreal and to (418 M.) Quebec, see p. 109.

St. Johnsbury in 1 hr.; BOSTON AND MAINE RAILROAD thence to (45 M.) Newport in 13/4 hr.; CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY thence to (109 M.) Montreal in 4 hrs. (through-fare $10.50). Passengers for Quebec (fare $11) may travel either via Quebec Junction and the Upper Coos R. R. (see p. 111) or viâ Sherbrooke and the Quebec Central R. R. (see p. 109). This line forms the shortest and quickest approach to the White Mts. (R. 16) and is also one of the regular routes to Lake Winnepesaukee (see pp. 118, 121).
