New arrivals st 'llotel Elmhurst Season. Bretton Woods, N. July 17 Although the rainy weather has prevented much travel to the White Mountains for a few days, many travelers are noted at the larger resorts, and the Brooklyn colonies have begun to take shape at the larger resorts where Brooklyn society congregates. rival In purity the crystal of the mountain brook. To the Indian and to the early white settlers who tried to measure its depths with a plumb line the lake was bottomless.

The original Indian explanation of this was that a young chief became Infatuated with an Indian maiden who spurned his love. He forthwith went out in his canoe to the very center of the lake and made a mighty dive. Although his body did not reappear in Honkon-koma, It was found a few days later in Great South Hay. The tribal mind was thus relieved of further inquiry concerning the lack of surface outlet. Recent Investigations, however, have shown that the lake has a uniform depth of about IB feet except In a spot near the center, where a depth of 92 feet has been recorded.

This particular pot was found to be the source of supply for the lake, and fresh water comes pouring- In at a rapid rate. It was also found that the maximum rise was seven feet, usually following a period of heavy rains In Vermont and New Hampshire. This interesting place, noted both for Us beauty and for Its Indian legends, is In almost the geographical center of the island, being a trifle more than 60 miles from New York City. With the Motor Parkway terminating there, the Jericho Turnpike on the north side and the Merrick road on the south side the mo-tolst has a choice of excellent highways In reaching Lake Ronkonkoma from Rrooklyn and Manhattan. The Long Island Railroad station at Ronkonkoma Is about a mile from the lake.
