Burton Harrison, of "Nilla Sea Urchins, y
the famous authoress and New Y ork soci-
ETY. leader, TO be seen on Mount Desert av
euue. the Ocean drive or the Corniche
Maui seated in her BAN boo basket phaeton,
drawn by q span of coal black steeds, com
pletely surrounded by a parade OF beautiful
turnouts. whose occupants chatter, chatter,
chatter TO each other, and Mrs. Harrison IN
particular, until the new arrival looks 10
vain for fire." Fight or some sort Of
an exciting accident, only TO be Informed
that il is the habit for the rusticators 70
stop at the forks ia the roadways and hold
these little greeting parties"
OF conrse the visitor smiles, and why
shouldn't he, for who ever heard of such a
thing anywhere eisea But then sex-Secre-
tary Blame explained away all THIS when
he said There is but one Bar Harbor."
How much the best society people believe
this, is proven by the rush they are in TO
get away FROM their city homes and quicken
TO its shores 81 the first burn Of the July
sunbeam.
For stables full Of thoronghbreds It. is
safe to say the Vanderbilts. the Shepards,
the McAilllsns of Detroit the Gurnees of
New York, the Murchisons of Baltimore,
the Morrises OF New Orleans, the Barney 8
OF Washington, the A-mours of Chicago.
and the Cushines OF Boston, take the lead.
Mr.. George Vanderbilt. the lord Of Point
o'Arcadie, the Bar Harder home OF the
Nsnderbilts, is a lover OF hne horses. He
does not love them from only an aesthetic
standpoint, either, as is the case with most
social milllonalres, be loves them for the
speed that is IN them. and be chooses a
horse that can never be ridicuied for his
stylish halt. This information is given be-
cause eli or nearly all OF the swell
spans here are a conglomeraton OF
cooked tails, hating gaits shackled

brutes who seem but decorated
machines, created only for show. One can
hardly sec that that there is anything of
the horse about them, they are SO envel-
oped in their dress OF fashion. The broad
1hree-inch harness, the fringed reins, the
engraved Bit succeeds in completely hiding
the features and form OF the horse, and it
might really be taken for camel, with the
many humps and burdens Of gaudy en-
beilishment.
But George Vanderbilt has a light oak
gig which is gracefully set or a nickel
spring body much resembling q dewy
spider webb when IL is q long distance up
the mountain side. He has also birds
eve maple surrey. For fear you don't
know what 8 surry is, 1 viii tell you. 1t is
manufactured after the fashion of buck
board, being made up Of seat built on q
long fat body underneath which is spring
that lightens the weight, and gives an easy
swaying motion. There is an awkward
meas about the appearance Of the surry,
but nothing can beat it fer clear, sheer
comfort
THE PRIDE OF THE VILLAGE.
Mr. Vapderbilt's landau is the pride Of
the village. he drives in this, when on his
best behavior and in company with his
mother. Mrs w. X. Vanderbilt, be goes
through the boorishness Of "callsn This
carriage has a short body, with high, broad
wheels ana it seems to roll right along
like a rubber ball Mrs. Vnderbilt,
who usually spends half the summer
with her son. prefers this TO all his turn
outs The royal pu. pie silken curtains are
partially drawn when she is within, for abe
is modest lady and prefers TO recede from
public gaze. The soft, downy cushions
are Of conventional black and they seem
quite harmless as one beholds them SOL
EMMY buttoned down to the seats, but If
the eye is allowed 10 peek beneath those
cushions there can be found whole relay
OF toilet requisites. These come in quite
handy on the calling tours. when a puff Of
powder, glance Ia q mirror and q brush
Of the stray locks probably sets Mrs
Vanderbiltis heart at rest, and makes her
feel she is quite sure all is neat and har-
monious.
The Vanderbilt tally-ho coach is the envy
OF all the rusticators. IL Is their custom TO
give weekly excursions TO the famous
Green mountains. There is always a
scrimmage for the top Of the coach and
