A NEW WHITE CITY.
WBERE 1,500 ROCHESTER PEO
PLE LIVE JX TENTS.
ti te UNIQUE SUMMER RESORT AT
•rjTXDSOR BEACH, OX LAKE ONTARIO.
Rochester, N. V.. July 6 (Special).— ln this age of
municipal experiment and social study, the City
. Flowers feels that it has Bolved one question
satisfactorily to 1,500 of its inhabitants at least
flat is bow to spend the torrid term of summer
jo health, happiness and economy. The answer
g^iia the name White City. The Columbian Ex
position Installed that designation Into the vocabu
jjjy of the day. That White City was a creation
lof "staff"; this newer one is constructed of canvas.
Tents have been considered the most temporary
•nd a rather primitive form of human habitation.
yjjat was oefore the City of Tents on the bluffs
t l Windsor Beach was conceived. The poet's epit
ome of restlessness is the Bedouins, who "fold up
their tents and silently steal away." The tents of
the White City are pitched in April and folded in
jTovember. This may seem an exaggeration to the
reader who pictures the cold winds of autumn sag
»ing the frail walls and sweeping under the flies.
But these tents are different from the kind which
dot the chores of Canadian lakes on August nights
and are packed in canoes when the sun rises. The
TVhite City has called Into existence a form of can
vas tents which, cool in summer and warm in
autumn, marks probably the furthest advance in
the manufacture of tents and has given a name to
the make which distinguishes it from all others.
I Windsor Beach is a stretch of high bluffs and
shallow, sandy shore, a mile east of Charlotte,
across the Genesee River. It faces the north and
lies open to the winds. Below, the lake rolls on
the sloping sand. To the south stretches the broad
boulevard, with its finely kept bicycle tracks and
Its trie railroad to Rochester, eight miles away.
On the west are the Genesee River, the long piers,
Ontario Beach and Charlotte. To the east the
ebore line winds In and out. past the narrow
mouth of the Irondequoit Bay; then, swinging out
ward, ends in the jutting wooded promontory
called Nine Mile Point. To the north lies the blue
level of the lake. The official course of the Inter
national yacht races Is staked out directly before
the thresholds of the tents. The site is like that
of a miniature Newport.
The White City came Into existence about ten
years ago. The Suiqmerville trolley line was built,
and Windsor Beach Hotel achieved fame. Between
6uinmervil!e and Windsor lay a level line of
bluffs, heavily grassed and prettily wooded. A
small party of Rochester folk decided to spend the
summer there. A few cottages had already been
built. These were too expensive for a short sum
mer's outing:. Somebody suggested tents. That
fall the campers returned to Rochester, tanned,
triumphant and tenacious of their resolve to re
turn next year. They enlisted the sympathy of a
few more. Thus was the White City founded.
The men who owned the tracts of land on which
the tenis were pitched suddenly paw fortunes
awaiting them. Rents went up. Each summer
brought an Increase in the number of campers.
The tents spread further east and west. Streets
came Into being. As the encampment grew, a
name was Bought. Viewed from the distance in
the bright sunlight of a summer afternoon, the
' name was easily fixed upon. White City it was
called, and White City it has remained.
The present year records the high water mark of
the city. Its inhabitants number 1.500, and Its tents
crown the bluffs for a mile and a half east and
west and half a mile north and south. The streets
are named after the Presidents of the United
States. Harrison and Lincoln ayes. are the abid
ing places of the aristocracy. The city is sur
prisingly like a real, permanent municipality. It
has its cliques anil its sets. Many campers do not
know the name« c* their neighbors In the next
street anymore '.iian they would in New-York
Itself. They coma «nd go. and live their own man
ner of life. Early in the morning the men start
for their business in Rochester, returning at night.
In the White City may be found the tents of bank
ers, lawyers, ministers, college professors and. in
• deed, people In every calling in life. They rent the
plots -of land, erect their houses, and enjoy life, in
. coolness and health.
The tents are marvellous creations. First, a '
framework is erected, like that of an Indian bunga
low. in its apparent frailty and slenderness. On
this are stretched the canvas walls. Sometimes the
cloth is pure white; sometimes a striped pattern
gives a touch of color to the almost universal hue.
Most of the tents are double. That is. a large tent
Is used for living purposes. Behind that at a little
distance Is another smaller one. in which the cook
' In?, washing and other domestic duties are done.
Within the living tent one finds luxury and com
fort little dreamed of. The tents are spacious
enough to allow three sleeping rooms, a sitting
room and a dining room. The largest are being de
sciibed now. They are of all sizes, as the number
of occupants demands. At night the flies are
caught up, and the cool lake breezes, which are al
ways flitting about even on the hottest nights of
cummer, penetrate the Innermost recesses of the
>. '.vas houses. Visits are paid, cards are left,
A YITTW OF ITARRTSOX-AVE., IX THE "WHITE CITY," ROCHESTER'S POPULAR SUMMER RESORT.
nußlcals. card parties, dancing, receptions, dln
n*n, and indeed, all the social distractions of a
real community are part of the daily life of this
city by the lake. Late in the fall the flies are
dropped, all made fast, fires started in the little
¦tovea, and comfort kept in spite of storm and
wind.
Although the fame of this strange and successful
experiment In solving the summer problem has not
extended far it has never failed to arous» the
wonder of the visitor. Many of the tents are occu
pied by families from remote parts of the coun
try. As far as is known, the White City is alone of
>U kind.
C THE SEASON AT MANCHESTER. FT.
Manchester, Vt, July C (Special).- Manchester is
again In summer attire. The large crowds that
have already arrived give promise of one of the
best seasons through which the resort has passed.
The cottagers arrived early this year, and will re
gain until late in the fall.
-: la the past social activity has always begun
Mir. the Fourth, and this year was no exception.
¦I Ekwanok Whist Club held its first meeting on
- Wednesday morning. In the afternoon a large

visitors and townsmen made speeches In the

AN EARLY OPENING OF
THE SEASON.
Jefferson, N. 11., July 6 (Special).— ln th» pummer
resort edition of The Tribune, published early in
June. White Mountain hotcUceepers were reported
as almost unanimously expecting i hot and dry
summer, with unusually good business in conse
quence, and early Indications have given perfect
support to that view. The protracted hot wave,
which has been bo severely felt in the great cities
of the country, has to some extent been felt h> re,
the saving differences being relief from mid
day warmth by the cooling breezes of the after
noon and evening, and at all the resorts through
out the mountains It is frankly admitted that such
superlative hot weather experiences were never
before known here.
The effect of it all has been to bring good num
bers here much earlier In the summer than is
usually the case. Ordinarily the . early visitor to
the mountains comes cautiously, for until tha
summer schedules, on the various transportation
lines get to running smoothly the trip to the
mountains is handicapped by slow time and changes
which are annoying; but this year the desire to
escape from the awful suffering of urban tem
perature has seemingly been sufficient to over
balance the lesser evils, and there are thousands
already scattered about the various resorts, small
and large. Yet largo numbers are nowhere In evi
dence as yet. for the territory covers so large an
area, and the number of quiet farmhouses which
entertain their twos and threes Is so great, that
these thousands are pimply absorbed, and the
guests who come to tho great hotels simply form
a nucleus for the larger numbers to follow.
The Waumbek, which was the first of such large
hotels to open, Is undoubtedly entertaining th»
largest family to be found at any house in the
mountains, having been adding to Its first regis
trations since June 15. The golf links, stables,
new dining room and Bohemian rooms < are all In
smooth running order, and the lawns about the
house are I* beautiful condition. Still, all condi
tions are not yet perfected, and the rush of guests
is not expected here until the coming weuk.
XEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SUNDAY. JULY 7. 1901.
THE TEXT'S INTERfOR.
The same statement truthfully serves for nearly
or quite all the more prominent resort houses In
this section. So much has been laid out by way
of improvement and enlargement for the season,
and wel weather occasioned the loss of so much
time in the early spring, that nearly every hotel
contractor has l>oen bothered In securing adequate
help, and finds himself far behind his dates. <"ar
penters, masons, paper hangers, painters and even
unskilled laborers havn b<fn In demand every
where, and in some nunrters the finishing touches
Will not be put on until nearly the middle of July.
But meantime the guests are coming, and wIIS be
Comfortably provided for, wherever night may
overtake them.
The Httt^ of Naw-Hampshira is Just beginning
active operations up<>n one of the heaviest and
most valuable schemes of improvement reported
In thla section. An appropriation of j:o.«»». hiip

James K. < 'arter. of Boston, who ba« his beautiful

begun. The new road will leave the Highlands

Members of the New-Hampshire Weekly Tuiv
lisbers" JtsSOClatlon, in annual ee.ssion at Littleton,
visited the Profile House and Fabyans on Satur
day, and enjoyed th« rail trip to tho summit of
Mount Washington on Sunday. They returned to
the Crawford House In the afternoon, and alto
gether enjoyed two days of most delightful ex
periences.
For many of the prominent ho.ises June 29 was
the date of formal opening; and while daily regis
trations since that date have made up good totals,
personal mention Is reserved for another week.
The Balsams, at Dixville Notch; the Mount Pleas
ant House, the Crawford, Twl.i Mountain anil
Pabyans, under the Barron. Merrill & Barren
management, are all now earing comfortably for
appreciative natrons, and look for a crowded busi
ness a little later.
At the Mount Pleasant House there Is much In
terest In the foundation work for the new hotel
which Is to be opened next season, and which will
ho the largest and most modern hotel in the entire
W hlto Mountain section.
Fishermen are having phenomenal success In the
trout brooks this year, and finer string are b<*ing
brought In than were ever before shown here. The
week has been one of electrical disturbance^ ami
has had the effect of breaking the hot wave, giv

ALL LENOX COTTAGES REXTED.

BHIRE3.
Lennx. Mass.. July 6 (Special).— Berkshire*
are resting and refreshing thousands of New-
Yorkers Just now. Th*» hot wave of th© last fort
night has sent them hurrying Into the resorts
v here th« cool, quiet nights of the villages have
nui<l«* tha beat of the days bearable and so refresh
ing that no one bats thought of leaving for the
i«hore— a condition that almost always exists In the
Berkshire Hills in July. When the hot wave swept
over the country th«» hotels were well filled, but
flnro each Incoming train brings added guests,
until Lenox Is enjoying th*» most prosperous mid
summer In many years. The renown of the hills
for cool nights is widespread A study of. the
thermometers shows thai while the heat of the
fortnight has registered In th*» nine: ., iby day. there
has sen a failing off during the evening until as
low a temperature as GO degrees has been reached
and the COOI comfort has been blessed by multi
tudes. Nothing like the. opening season has been
seen In Lenox since ii x ''4. and the demand for cot
tages li now met by negatives from the real estate
nun. There Is not a cottage for hire In the whole
town. Bookings at the hotel are large, and the
autumn months promise to be busy.
Nearly every one In Lenox entertained a house
party over the Fourth of July, or entertainment
there was a regatta on Lake Mahkeenac under the
aospicea of the Mahkeenac Boating Club, with
classes for rat boats, dories and canoes. One race
for young women canoeists had six entries and
was very interesting. The Lenox Golf Club opened
Its season of tournaments with a mates for a sil
ver trophy, a large class entering. In the evening
fireworks were sent up from many of the country
places.
Indications of the permanence of Lenox as a
place of residence of wealthy New-York men Is
shown by the fact that there are at present three
handsome cottages In process of building, and
others are contemplated. The Scotch castle that
is in the course of erection for Robert W. Patter
son, of New-York, win be an Interesting addition
to the many line places about Lenox. The) castle
is to be a reproduction in part of a famous Scotch
building of Tudor times: It will be built of native
blues tone. Mrs. Kdlth Wharton has plans' for a
OOsey cottage on the shores of Laurel Lake, where
"he has purchased a place, which she has decided
to make her permanent homo. Mrs. Wharton is
at the Poplars this year and Is at work on a new
novel to lie given to her publishers for publication
for Christmas. Miss Oeotglna Sergeant, of New-
York, Is building a pretty Colonial cottage near
Laurel Lake. Dr. 11. P. Jacques, of Boston, has
plans for a handsome house on the Richmond
Head, as has George R. Turnure, of Now- York.
One of tho most Interesting announcements of
the season la that Lenox Is to have a new town
hall, postofllce and bank. '1 he »own has voted
$20,000 for the purchase of land adjoining the town
property, and $40,000 for the building. An attempt
Is to be made to preserve the old town bull,
which was built In liCT, and which has served the
town as courthouse and poatofßoa since.
