the tip of the mountain is made In 8
half hour, the path being clear to the
eye, through the bright beams of the
moon. A dinner is served at the little
hotel on the summit, and the return
trip is accomplished in the 1--WE sma
hours" when only the cocks are crow
ing.
The substantial cabriolette Of the
Gurnees, decorated in blue and drawn
by span of bays, represents dignity
in its SWEETEST sense. On very sun
shiny day the top is thrown back and
Miss Gurnee, whose presence BELTS the
coach, deigns to rest one kid-gloved
hand tightly on the side. The slow,
measured tread, the perfect rhythm OF
the clashing harnesses, the erect posture
of the horses heads prove that they
have been taught in Ward McAllister's
school.
The Miss Gurnee in the family coach
doing the heavy social representation Of
the Gurnee household, "Beaudesert,"
and the Miss Gurnee racing down the
ocean drive in double-decked dog cart,
are one and the same person, only in
different phases of life 1t is hard to
tell which she is the more successful in.
The grim, hypocritical Irish coachman
thinks she is at her best in the latter
mood, for then he rides behind and can
grimace to his hearts content. On
these trips she prefers to drive
And whom does she race with? None
other than the Misses Sturgis, Of Phila-
delphia, the daughters of Robert Stur-
gis, the millionaire, who has the st.
Savior villa. These blonde horsewomen
are drawer than they are graceful, and
they steer straight ahead in their wild
attempts ito win," not fearful of the
loss of hat, jacket, hairpins, or maiden
ly reserve. Their little turnout is not
pretentious, and it is hired affair; but
then they are the bellies of the Kebo
club, and noticeable anywhere in any
sort of framing. With their slick
little dog-cart, trimmed up in wild
flowers, and the blooms on their hats
and gowns, they look like Floras
daughters in real earnest, and one
thinks them quite too fair for earth, and
wouldn't blame any monster for swal-
lowing them up-even If that monster
be man.
Since Col Elliott Shepard came to
hall, the native children of
Bar Harbor have not ceased to wonder
at the pony phaeton, which conveys his
nephews, the Twombly boys, to noun
tain, meadow or stream.
This little affair vies with Cinderel-
las coach for daintiness and richness.
1t is painted yellow, just like pump
kin, and strange to say, there is always
enough cake and goodies in it to attract
any amount of mice" The fat little
Shetlands who guide this fancy coach
Are lazy at any and all times, and their
movements allow the young
'ters to carefully study the beauties of !
he landscape.
The stables at Mossley hall are finely
and the stalls for the horses
Ire perfect chambers of comfort. The |
,olonel's favorite driving horses are
named Ben" and General" and he has /
/ penchant for getting up early these /
bright, brisk mornings, having them /
into a wagonette and driving 4
way down to Otter cliffs to watch the /
og banks melt away into the sun.
,irs. Shepard rarely accompanies him
N these occasions, but after luncheon
he enjoys an ocean drive in the family
andau
The Shepard Rockaway Beach
wagon, which holds six occupants
nd is covered with a fancy canvas
anopy, is quite an oddity in the way Of
ummer turnouts. 1t is used for pic
tic parties and is very comfortable.

nance for coachman and footman.

Hugh Mcmillan, of Detroit, Mich,
be weQ-known western millionaire,
as taken Bar Harbor by storm this
ear with his magnificent turnouts
here seems a grander and more mag
iticent one every day.
The English" drag with the gray
ercherons is stylish and handsome;
he double-decked dog cart OF yellow
nd black, with horses driven in tam
en-. is odd and equally as noticeable:
lille the French landau, driven from a
OK seat on the back, with footman in
-ont. Is perfectly gorgeous in appear
nee Mrs Mcmillan is a reigning
eauty, and above everything else has
perfect passion for handsome
arriage gowns; those rich wine colors
nd amber effects which set off the
runette style OF loneliness suit her
aste and well become her With her
sated by his side. Mr.. Mcmillan, with
IS handsome turnouts. bids fair TO |
even the eternal hills and
mountains Of this desert
lie.
The Murchisons, Of Baltimore, who
ave an international fame for being
Indmarks in southern aristocracy, are
taking 4 fine showing Of thoroughbred
orses here. Their beautiful tally-ho
zach and four horses is an item of end

asket phaeton and big bay horse
RANGING from villa to villa on morning
ais is an event which would be sadly
Used by the summer inhabitants. The

Isions Is conventional and grand
