Cape Cottage.


Saturday afternoon, by invitation of Mr..
B. c. Gibson, proprietor of Cape Cottage,
the members of the press of this city, repre-
senting the daily and weekly papers, assem-
bled at franklin wharf, where the swift lit
tie steamer Cadet was placed at their dispo-
sition. There were sixteen of the knights
of the quill on hand. The afternoon was
bright and beautiful at the outset, although
the southerly winds later came in rather chill
from old ocean and clouded the sea and land
scape. But on the cosy steamer, and in the
care of such host as Gibson, wind and
weather were Of little consequence.
The boat landed the scribes at the new
wharf. The wharf was built by sinking
crib work 15x30 feet, and extending wood
en- trestle to the shore, distance Of about
100 feet, supported in the center by another
crib work. 1t is substantial structure, and
visitors to the Cottage will much enjoy the
new method Of conveyance thither by boat
After arrival, the party amused themelyes
in various ways The hotel was looked over
and was found in apple-pie order, having
been newly repainted and thoroughly reno
waited. At 8 o'clock a splendid dinner was

motive for the mu' der is not definitely
