One of theimportant re- sidents. was at man named . William Mann, store keeper, host of `a tavern. and brewer withal. -His -prestige inthe. community. was such that the -ha`m'let was called Mann's` Point as freely as Kempenfeldt. Another name which-has fallen into the dim background through disuse is_'.l`rafalgar Bay, given atiny cove, by Capt. Robert Oliver, R.N., to honour Nelson's great naval victory. In the`days of its `greatness Kempenfeldt was a larger and more prosperous and promising place than was Barrie. It will be recalled that K Tollendal agitated vigorously to be- come ,._the county capital and `that to please both. places, yet satisfy neither of them. .Bar-rie situated about half way between the two was chosen. Col. S.. Wilmot. surveyor of the Penetang road was~the- man responsible,"/for the choice` of the site. In 1811, Ccl..Wi1mot received instructions to" `survey a road of communication between Kempen- feldt Bay and Penetanguishene har- bour. In his survey he reported on the suitability of the site for _a town and the following, year was given orders to proceed with the survey. The town was to be a mile in length and half a mile in breadth. Thiswas Kmpenfeldt in embryo, and it was designated a gov- ernment _reserve. Subsequently a gov- erment station was estab1ished.on this reserve for the accommodation of men and stores landed for transportation overland to Penetang. Log barracks and a store were built aboutthe year 1819. -The area embraced within this hamlet was some three hundred acres which was sacredly` reserved and pre- servedfrom the clutche of the agri- culturist. Belden s Atlas states that when circumstances began to indicate the prospect of a future town at Kem- penfeldt the government disposed of `its forty-five acre -reserve to the west and its influence was promised to assist the development .of_ the_ village. The pur- chaser was Capt. -Olive , R.N. Ere two years had passed rad cally different opinions were formed by the parties concerned as to its future status. The representatives of the Government be- came .convinced that the efforts to build up" a town in that place must end in failure; while Capt. Oliver, seeing a induced the Government to relieve him of his .for.ty-five acre purchase further west-\and secured a large tract.of land in the immediate vicinity of the hamlet down the Bay. Two `of the streets in the hamlet were named `Monk and Davis, after two half-pay officers who lived in Oro. Capt. .Oliver's home was situated about half a mile to the east of Kempenfeldt. on the property later owned by the late Geo. Raikes. . _A tavern was kept for a time by a man named Ladd, who was said to have`. been somewhat addicted to the flowing cup. About the year 1837 he came to an untimely end by drowning in the Bay and his/widow with her family of five children carried on'for a time but later removed to the States. The site of their tavern was used inla- ter years as`a brick-yard. Several emi- grants came to Kemp_enfeld`t.prior to 1837 when it was the largest commun- ity in the district. but afterwards Bar- rie proved too strong a competitor. Be- ing on the travelled route from Toronto to the Georgian Bay. it was visited by frequently quartered` there.

A few attrac- e ti_ve cottages have been located there of recent years. G. D. Lindsay, C. P. Read, D.` L. MacPherson and A. E. Read, have been there for four seasons. E. Burnham occupied during the .1as` season. the cottage formenly owned by E. Tyrell, the Toronto jeweller; Dr. W. A. Lewis is the only Barrie man who . has a cottage at Fisherman's Point. 'I`h_is-is one of the prettiest spots on ' the bay and before it was occupied by summer cottages was a favorite pic- nic spot for canoeists. A number of years ago. James Vair endeavored to boom that bit of shore as a summering place. He had a pavilion at the Point and a summer cottage of his own called Casa Loma, east of where Dr. Lewis has his now. This was before the mo- tor car came into such general use and the plans for building up the Point at that time were not very uccessful. -* Rant nf Rnilzm: (`irnnninsr nnnthnr ULIL EIJUIIE Llle UUHUUSEIUII 11116.

The most wester1y_ of "these, properties sons The house was originally a log`- _cabin `which has been suitably re- the story of the `bravery of the wife of the unknown first settler who sing- Ied-handedtackled a bear which was making off with a pig. To The Exam- iner,` he painted out the part of the house which was the. kitchen in which theigood woman was .working when -wondering ears. Looking out the win- of one" of their few pigs, soyseizing a poker she rushed out of doors, smote Bruin mightily, causing him to-drop his meal and flee. Not far `~from the house stands a massive elmtree which ._-was the special pride of th late Col. W. E_. O'Brien during his li etime. As an old man he` would visit the tree fre- quently, and recall the days when as a boy he had played. beneath its boughs. Itsage is reckoned in scores for no one living can remember when it was small. On this `property Lt.-Col. Mason has erected another home which is used by his daughters, Mrs. W. ,B. Woods and Mrs. J. D. Woods. Parkla ds" Desirous of obtaining an especially attractive spot on which to build a country estate, Senator Frederic Ni- icholls chose Parklands, seeing in it a place of singular beauty. He lavished money on the place and had erected a residence, which is-the most pretentious of any on,the,Bay or Lake. Senator had a wide circle of friends whom.they entertained extensively. Although this luxurious 4 home,` contained seven- teen guest roomsit was found neces- sary to! fix up another dwelling on the place for use as an. annex whenever an unusual number of guests had been invited. Theimain-residence at Park- lands is contructed in English`bunga- low style and is of part.stone and brick. The upper storey is shingled. One who sees the place carries away an impres- sion of massive trees,-English lawns, broad winding drives, and paths lead- ing through sylvan glades to sandy beaches washed by the iridescent wa- ters of` the lake. _Nestling against the leafy background of umbrageous forest rises `a long comfortable bungalow -:f spacious rooms,` mullioned windows and broad verandahs. A large portion of the grounds have been left in their natural state and are beautifully wood- ed with' maple. fir, birch and oak of great size and attractivness. The land immediately \ surrounding the house and extending to the lake shore hasbeen underdrained byitiles and is laid out in sloping terraces and lawns with well cultivated flowers and shrubs. The grounds contain" grass tennis courts, croquet lawn and bowling green. There is'a. private wharf on which iselocated a steel lighthouse. The ground floor of the house is commodious and .Well planned, containing dining room. drawing room. billiard lounge and music rooms. A private plant gen- erates ele_ctric_ity for household` use. Vvaterworks, modern plumbing and _an efficient furnace system are installed throughout.
