	PROBABLY THE ONLY CRAFT which could qualify as a "cruiser" in Adirondack Waters was sold that week. It was the "Babette," a gas-powered boat measuring 55 feet in length and displacing 17 tons, which had plied the waters of Upper Saranac Lake for many years. The boat cost Henry Goldman $18,000 and operated out of his Bull Point camp. Its 400-HP motor reportedly used 40 gallons of gas on the round trip of a few miles down the lake to Saranac Inn, and "towered over the average Adirondack launch like a whale over a minnow". After the sale of Bull Point Camp to T. J. Gaisman, its luxury fittings were disposed of by Frank R. Seigel of Tupper Lake, and the "Babette" was the last to go, —sold to Charles Ruderman of Gouverneur. It had been gathering dust in the Bull Point Camp boathouse for several years, and the ''Free Press'' reported that it would probably "be more in its element on the broad St. Lawrence than it was on the narrow reaches of Upper Saranac Lake".

	Another magnificent camp on the Upper Saranac Lake is that of O. H. Kahn of New York city. It is located on Bull Point and was formerly the Kissell camp. The cottages are built on a bluff, fifty feet above the water, facing the southeast. It has one of the most beautiful views in the mountains. The buildings, which are of two stories, are entirely different from the ordinary camps, approaching in a measure the fine villas of Newport. The first story is of logs with the bark on, while the second is of half timber. The one main building, containing the living room and bedrooms, is connected by a glassed-in passage with the dining-room, seventy-five feet away. Directly in front of the dining-room, on the shore of the lake, is the boat-house, built entirely of slabs from spruce logs. The main building contains one large living room, 30 feet square and 19 feet high, with a stone fireplace 11 feet high. A gallery –surrounds three sides of this room, and all is done in spruce and birch poles with the bark on. The side -walls, are covered with red burlap. In the gentlemen’s smoking- room the side walls are covered with red burlap, while the woodwork is of moss-covered fence-rails. One of the principal bedrooms is finished in silver birch logs with the bark on. The bedrooms on the second floor are plastered—a very uncommon treatment of walls in camps. Every bedroom has a stone fireplace; the entire camp is wired for electric lights. The windows of the dining-room are arranged to shove down into the floor, so that the room can be open to the air. The piazzas of the main building are twenty feet wide…		Another magnificent camp on the Upper Saranac Lake is that of O. H. Kahn of New York city.

	In August Bull Point Camp was sold by Mrs. Goldman to H. J. Gaisman of Hartsdale, N.Y. Mr. Gaisman had acquired the [[Walters~~%20camp~~\|Walters camp]] property which adjoins Bull Point several years ago and had remodeled the old Walters camp extensively. His Bull Point holdings now give him a combined shoreline property covering about a mile on Upper Saranac. Mr. Gaisman decided to raze Bull Point camp, and the job was turned over to Frank R.

	PROBABLY THE ONLY CRAFT which could qualify as a "cruiser" in Adirondack Waters was sold that week. It was the "Babette," a gas-powered boat measuring 55 feet in length and displacing 17 tons, which had plied the waters of Upper Saranac Lake for many years. The boat cost Henry Goldman $18,000 and operated out of his Bull Point camp. Its 400-HP motor reportedly used 40 gallons of gas on the round trip of a few miles down the lake to Saranac Inn, and "towered over the average Adirondack launch like a whale over a minnow". After the sale of Bull Point Camp to T. J. Gaisman, its luxury fittings were disposed of by Frank R. Seigel of Tupper Lake, and the "Babette" was the last to go, —sold to Charles Ruderman of Gouverneur. It had been gathering dust in the Bull Point Camp boathouse for several years, and the ''Free Press'' reported that it would probably "be more in its element on the broad St. Lawrence than it was on the narrow reaches of Upper Saranac Lake".
