Completed.
Mr.. Charles Hardy has completed his hne
mansion on Adams street, and at hate hour
ON Friday evening we dropped in," at
,racted thi,her by II, being lighted for the 6rst
time with gas. Mr.. Hardy, q man who never
d oes anything by the halves, has erected and
finished residence with which he may well be
satisfied. Anybody can plan drawing rooms,
parlcrs aud chambers (our castle In the air has
NIL these). but to arrange building in which
convenience shall be the chief desirable thing.
requires skill. and in this respect We know OF
nothing more to DC desired than that which
has been secured by the arrangement OF Mr.
llsriys This Is the only residence in the city
which is lighted BY Gas. there being in this
about forty burners. We are afraid the poll
cy Of our Gas Company has no, been such IS
to induce the owner of houses TO enjoy this
luxury. which. would the Company put main
pipes down. could be obtained at comparative
ly small cost.

~ KrnseLunk.
On Friday evening last We enjoyed listening
TO dramatic performance In the new town
hall at Ksnnebunk, given BY some Of the ladies'
Of that beautiful village. The dramatists Of
the evening were Misses Sarah, Lizzie and Olive
Thompson, Margie Smith, josie and Florence
Hooper. Ella Clark, Mary Malin. and Mrs. j..
G. Lord, and the farce The Coming
Woman" We may DO excused for saying that
the women on the stage show that II they we're
not coming themselves. they each and all gave
proof Of keen appreciation Of how the com
ing women would deport themselves. while the
men and women kept coming until the hall
wssfllei with brilliant and apprsciative au-
dience, and the proceeds came up to about
$500 for this AMI the previous evenings enter
tertainment. The orchestra was the "Dirigo
Brass Band" VI that town, who conducted
their part finely. especially considering the
short time since the Band have been practic.
ing. At the close, Mr.. Joseph Dane presented
each of the lady drsma,ists with . floral
wreath.
Our Kennebunk citizens are justly proud o:
their new hall. which for beauty aud convent
ence is not excellel in the State. and the ladies
with much real aud public spirit have furnish
ell il in the best Of style, the entertainment
being one Of the means Of securing the funds |
\ collation. was served below stairs after the
literary exercises we're ented.
