Big Bay Point ` No place, however charming. can of-5 ter the summer vacationist more in- ducements or make better romise of a Joyous holiday than.` Big ay _Point.| It possesses all the requisites ot a true holiday resort and this is undoubtedly . the reason why its wooded shores re- sound to the merry din or happy cot- tagers throughout the summer months. Behind the protecting foliage which shades the whole shore, scores of cottages hide scarcely .to be seen from the water. There are summer homes of every type present. Some large; others .small; a i!ew'weather beaten; many with the appearance of newness still unsullied. All are decorated. with gaudy pennants, or flashing banners. `Varsity colors are numerous, McGill , is represented and so occasionally is Harvard or even` Yale. Flaming cu- shions and wicker chairs give the place a holiday touch and varl-colored bath- ing suits adorn the lines at -the rear 0! the cottages. Throughout the length of the warmer days the beach is a scene or splashing. laughingand col- orful gaiety. Trim canoes glide up and down along the shore, swiftly passing- youngsters, while others go poking along in row boats, `Rut neither boating nor swimming, Mr. from frir-mls` \ f_...

During` the growth of the-`P nt in popularity there has been a cons der- able change in the summer colony. Each season has seen the arrival of new members , a few of the old ones have left: `some having moved to dis- tant parts, others having departed this life.

While on thesubject of boats, one is bound to `make some mention oi the regattas which formerly were held at the Point. Dinghy facing was, very popular, and many a bad pill occur-r red though noneewere attended by ser- ' ious occurrences. In the evening the water was. literally. swarming with canoes or row`-boats and many.1a_unch- ' es scooted up and down the shore. l` `During: u: av-Ann-h no 41...:-D.-.a..4. a..' u atunu. snuunu come up. . was customary cottagers at the Point to come to Barrie to mar- ket every Sa.turday morning on one of .l the ing the Islay, with a large crowd on board, left the Point but `had proceeded sud- fdenly function.

With the ance of the other half. of fcrew, namely Jack, the .` re-lighting bucket in drifted "over a mile out into the lake.` Due to the lateness of the hour, th cottagers were forced to abandon their trip to market. One of the other boats,| `said to be the `Otonabee, caused con- siderable consternation on a certain occasion when` after leaving the Barrie wharf-it circled about about a dozen times. finally. stopping when the engin- eswere shut off soi the vessel would not strike the wharf. It was found that `the rope used totie the vessel to the . dock had become entangled in the rud- der. A very pronounced `though un-. reasonable fright which many cot- tagers at the Point experienced one morning was in bee. It was during the war and the people at the Point, as elsewhere, had been-hearingrumors to the effect that. the Germans were planning to bomb sections of Canada, by planes "sent from the States. Imagine the horror` withwhlch they awoke to `the? sound of a deafening explosion early one morning. The, cottages trembled and the presidents, mostly women, were terrified. The" cause, however was not of;the enemy. The Otonabee, 'moored_ at the Go_vernment.wharf. had caught fire and burned. The heat was suffi- the lighthouse, causing the explosion.

The contract for the building was `a- warded tothe. late.George Ball, and the material was prepared in Barrie and hauled to the Point over the ice` of the bay in winter.

The first [of these, though not the oldest, is that erected by the late J. C. Mc,Nabb. It is goccupied this season. by R. Dunbar, of Toronto. Adjacent to it is the home ,built about thirty-five years ago by E. T. Tyrer. A cottage was built by .Fred Smith during.the same summer ias that in which Mr. Tyrer located at lBig Bay. Bide-A-Wee,"- owned by J. `T. 'Dougall, is the third member of the `group of three. In front of .these cot- tages is a fine sandy beach which `makes the site unusually attractive. The water is shallow for many yards ;out and the bottom is quite free from ;stones._ The woodback of the houses I has a greater variety of trees in it than a September garden has colors. A weeping willowbends over the break- water in front, of the Dougall cot- tage `and'pours its grief into the `waters. Some birch trees, which the owner carefully guards. adorn the `sides of the lots and behind are oaks and maples and cedars with'an occa- sional pine. During their longlstay at the Point these cottagers have noticed ;-that the water level has been gradually i getting lower. This year there has beenl a decided decrease. Mrs. C. A. Wilson of Barrie resides in the adjoining cot- tage which is situated in Cherry Grove. ,Resthaven" . is the aease-suggesting ggname of A. S. Savage's house.

Mrs.l Gooch is an ardent lover of flowersi and from the very first, despite the] lack of fertility of the ground, was de-l termined to have them growing aboutl . the place. A visitor said to her, You: can't grow anything here, it is too dry! and sandy. The weeds and the trees] and the grass grow here, why should` not the flowers also bloom? was the, reply. And Mrs. Gooch was right. Thel flowers would blossom, all that was needed was attention. Mrs. Gooch saw to it that they "got it and her reward is a fine display of the season's bright- est flowers. Gordon Hall named af- ter an estate in Scotland, is the pro- perty. of Allan Robertson of Toronto and the `resident is C. McQuigge also from the city. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson are living at Lakeview," a charming cottage finished in maroon and grey.

V ` Vivid stories are told of the days when two hotels boomed at Big Bay. Robert Bingham kept a restaurant near the `Red Hotel as the Robinson House was known, and to Judge from tales told by some of the old-`timers the place was the scene of some uproarious times. There. were many of the men of Barrie, who enjoyed an occasional glass there but it is said that Ameri- can guests at the hotels and not Bar- rie men were responsible for the rath- er questionable tame which the place bore tor a time. The Robinson House referred to was started by William Robinson. a farmer at the Point`. At first he began by taking summer visit- on to board with him at the farm-. p house. This proved so profitable h turned his home into a hotel and en- larged it. making a two-s,torey log place in later years and operated the house. Ed.

Cooke, Silas Smith and more re- cently, Robert, and William Carr and Ed. Guest. For years the shore was considered valuable to the farm only as a watering place for"the cattle. This was frequently regarded as a disad- va.ntn.ge,.wheneverthe stock wandered alone: the ,shore and had to be located after the day's work` was over. In common with all water-front` land. that in the vicinity of the Point was extremely unfertile and it is hardly to be wondered at that the first summer residents there bought frontage for as low a figure as forty-five cents a.. foot. Today the price varies from $15 to-$25 per foot according to the prox- _ imity of the lot to the Point.

Although it _is a matter of common knowledge that the `Indians found the region an ideal meeting place, there is no _record of any name applied by them to distin- guish it from the numerous other points which cut the waters of Ouen-9 taron. Over a century has passed since` the first white settler arrived. He was an Irishman. Francis I-Iewsqn by name, who sailed from his native coun- try in 1817, and after clearing a home from the primeval, sent for his family who arrived in 1820. Thenceforth the lace was known as Hewson's Point. egarding this family Andrew F. Hun- ter in his "History of Simcoe County" writes: "Owing to the lonely situation beside the Lake Simcoe waterway, over which passed the entire traffic be- tween the frontier and the upper lakes? the house of Hewson sheltered many: early travellers, fatigued by the toil ('1 of the journey. Amongst them werel Sir John Franklin and his party, who passed through in 1825..After a resi- dence of a few years, the familylnoved away. their farm became d-eserted, their fields were again overgrown with! woodland. and nature once more reign-', ed supreme. The forest of second growth trees which then appeared upon the scenes of their firstexper-, iences, makes the place so attractive at: the present day for those desiring to find retirement in the heated months of summer."

But neither boating swimming, `nor any other diversion at the `Point enjoys greater popularity than golf. From early in the morning until long after the sun has marked the day's end, the golf course is dotted with players. Work on the course was start- ed iast year under the direction. of Frank Thompson, son-in-law` of. F. H. Gooch, and member of a family .`of famous golfers. At that time five holes were built on what was formerly the V Elliott farm. This year additional land was secured from Geo. Leslie, and another four holes added. Frequent tournaments. are held and many /who ' never played" golf before are doing so? daily at the Point. Judge Lennox is president of the club and F. H. Gooch is the vice-president. A. H.
