Crab Dinner Mt the High House.
BUSH RIVER, August 2lst. 1877,

MIR. EDITOR: Surprising your readers are
anxious to know with what success the ladies of
Bush River Neck met at their Grab Dinncrn
held on August 18th at the High House Landing,
to pay of the debt on their chapel take this
method of acquainting them. 1t seems as if
Providence favored them, for Tuesday was the
most pleasant day of the week. All who gave
them call, both this year and last, are perfectly
familiar with the location, surroundings, and
convenicnccs of this fayoritc resort and those
who are not, must make themselves so when
again call on their patronage is made by the
ladies undertaking this noble work. But per-
haps pcn.picture may make it more attractive
when another notice of such dinner will have
appeared in your county papers.
High House Landing is situated on Romncy
Creek, just above where it Gmpties into the Chcs-
apcakc. nice kitchen, dressing room, dining
pavilion and covered court have been provided
for the accommodation of guests by the propric-
tor, Mr.. j. II. Mahan. Several sail boats arc at
the disposal of guests, and here the follower of
lzaak Walton may find ample recreation, and
the ichthyologist satisfy his taste.
But Pm using too much of your valuable time
and space without describing the dinner.
Such dinner! One has only to partake once
of meal provided by the ladies of "the Neck"
and its remembrance will haunt him forever. -
Twas bounteous feast! Ham, lamb chicken,
all the vegetables in season (and hot at that !
biscuits, pies, custards, crabs in e0eyy style, and
other things too numerous to mention, were
there to tickle the palate of every one. After
dinner, ice cream, cakes, fruit, and melons were
eaten with as much gusto as if those present had
not tasted morsel of food since morning.
At the solicitation of many gentlemen the
ladies were induced 10 provide supper that com
pared favoraby with the dinner. Altogether, a
most delightful day was spent
The amount Of money realized was insufficient
to liquidatc the debt, but considering the num-
Der present, those having the affair in charge
were greatly pleased with the proceeds and
thankful for their patronage.
In conclusion, permit me to take it upon my.
self to thank the editors of the Hartford papers
for their liberal donations in the way OF advertis.
