Here also is a little grove of trees covering perâ€" haps half an acre, growing in a semiâ€"wild state for many years, and buffeted by wind and waves. But the magic wand of the benefactor has even started a transâ€" formation here, and the scoops and road machines will have made a dainty restâ€" ing place of this spot by next summer. Mr. Rittenhouse chose wisely and well when he selected the ground for the new farm amidst such beautiful surroundings of lake and forest. With a station at the Grand Trunk tracks, and the new walks down, the people will be able to reach the grounds in twelve or fifteen minutes. In comparison to the Guelph farm, the new one is, of course, very much _ smaller _ in the extent of its grounds In locality, for excursions and picnics on warm days, it will far eclipse the Royal City‘s boasted sight gpot.
