RHODE ISLAND. = The AnnawOm-
scott Visit. The last Leader gives a re-
port OF the visit of the Universalist clubs
of Boston and Providence to the summer
home Of Hon. H. B. Metcalf and Hon.
Olney Arnold, at Annawomscott. We
quote from the account of the UNIQUE
and pleasant occasion:
"Annawamscott is the name-presum-
ably Indian-of summer home, where
dwell, during the vacation months, the
two honorables - both as honorable in
character as in title-Olney Arnold and
Henry B. Metcalf, of Pawtucket. Anna
wamscott is about seven miles from
Providence, on the Bristol road. 1t is on
the banks of Narragansett Bay. The resi-
dences of Messrs. Arnold and Metcalf are
upon smooth grounds which touch the water
and which command IA view OF all the ship
ping between Providence and the ocean.
Perhaps there is somewhere seaside resort
to surpass it: but if SO, we know not where
to look for it.
Messrs. Arnold and Metcalf, whose resi-
dences are side by side, invited to what is
generically a Clam Bake, but which was
supplemented with SO many accompani-
ments, that a round or square dinner is the
appropriate name, the members of the two
Clubs aforesaid, Thursday of the past week,
Portable days of the season. The firm of
Arnold and Metcalf never does anything by
halves. 1t furnished for the guests from
Boston, and "way stations" special cars,
and these of the most elegant pattern; more
than this, a special train-locomotive, en-
gineer, brakeman and conductor were its
exclusive possession for the day; even Super
intendent Folsom was captured and put into
the ranks. One hundred persons from the
Boston Club aud twenty-three from the
Providence, were the guests.
