BUCKsPoRT. One of the most romantic and en-
joyable occasions occurred last Friday evening. BY
invitation goodly company met at beautiful
grove at the lower part of the village. To be
definite to location shot Id say it is the left
hand side of Main street OPP ose the "Parker Ship
Yard" and some thirty rods up the hill. Just the
exact spot to reach and how to get to it seemed a
mystery to me, but to the reporter of the Bangor
Commercial, who very kindly offered to lead the
way, it was very plain. But, customary for
daily scribbers, their work has to be reconslered,
so lover the garden wall" went, up the lane,
across swail, jumping from rock to rock, and
then making misstap to be rewarded with wet
foot, then retacing steps to what appeared the
right path to find brook to ford or leap, dodging
under the out lying bushes, losing our hat in the
darkness, stumbling headlong rocks and into
| mudholes was the easy way our guide took but
not the bargained for. Delicious music
tloated on the evening air to charm ear, and
from the grove above of torches sent their
bright rays through the leafy branches dazzling
our eyes while we caught the sound of many
voices during this pleasant "cut across lots" This
road all well enough for Daily but
reporter for the journal would have gone Il
little farther on the street coming to the fine
residence of Capt. Chas. f. Brown with its well
kept grounds. Turning to the left and a straight
course would have been before as to what the Old
gentleman Saunders, the grandfather. is particular
to call "Ceyeand grove" At this point | would
| say that the ladies would appreciate such name
| as Crystal fountain Grove" which is suggested by
the neighborng spring whose waters gllsh from
the rock amid the stately trees that crown the hill
side. Our long journey caused us to be late for
the first table which then occupied by the
Bucksport cornet band, in whose honor the ente,
tainment was gotten up by the ladies of the"lower
district" who it is said are always up for good
time. The boys from the table our
tering. He thought they overcome by
arrival. Not so. Ice cream and cake had vanished
from before them and they arose to hear Mr.. A. b.
Ames return thanks to the ladies for the bountifu
| and excellent supper they had enjoyed The next
| table was soon filled. Button-Eoe bouquets were
pinned upon coats, torch light bearers were
stationed at our elbows and half dozen Ladies ask
ed all at ''what kind of creams will you have?"
| His modesty calls for only three-ours for two
| Now for the romance. 1t happened the said
evening that those band boys had the eyes of owls
| for after another missing. lie being of
tender years took the matter in at once-a girl was
behind each tree waiting, waiting for the last note
One by one the boys skipped from the circle. The
swings from the trees became moionless, their oc-
cupants had flown. Not maiden was left alone in
| the darkness. The clock struck ten. The lights
were out and the merry voices of old and young
were heard more. The following pro
gramme was finely rendered during the eve
ming: /. Overture Lustspiel, Keller Bella ,. Pol
