A 1LEASANT PARTY AT PROCTOR.

Monday nns was one which will
not be forgotten for long, long time
by the society people Of Bluomsburg,
for 1t was the occasion of one of the
most delightful parties ever given in
this vicinity. Invitations had been
extended by Mr.. and Mrs. L. +. Wal.
Ter, and a special train conveyed their
guests over the Bloomsbury and Sulli-
van railroad to Jamison City, where
at Proctor Inn, the popular resort, a
most delightful evening was spent.
The train started from the Main St.
station of the road promptly at 6:2o
and for about an hour and half the
guests were treated to ride through
one of the most beautiful regions in
the State, along the banks of old Fish
ing-creek.
Upon arrival at the City, all repaired
to rooms assigned them, and when the
party appeared again in the parlors all
were in full evening dress. At about
nine O'Clock the sweet strains of an
overture, we'll rendered by the STOPPER
and Fisk orchestra of Willamsport,
iloated out upon the cool mountain
air, and the guests began assembling,
being received in the parlors by Mr..
and Mrs. Waller, Mr.. and Mrs. P. Z.
Writ, Mrs. r. {. Neal, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Wigfall.
In short time the orchestra struck
up waltz, and the beautiful ladies
and gallant men were soon crcling in
the may. From this time until sup
per was served the dancing was almost
continuous.
Shortly after eleven o'clock the
doors leading from the parlors to the
dining rooms were thrown open, and
the guests entered and were seated
around eight tables, according to cards
bearing the name of each one and
placed at their respective places. The
tables and dining room, as we'll as the
parlors, were tastily decorated with
ferns, etc.
After supper dancing was kept up
until nearly one o'clock, when the
guests again repaired to the various
rooms, and after changing their cos
tunes, wended their way down stairs
to the station, and boarded the train,
which was soon in motion, reaching
Bloomsburg in the short time of one
hour. The trip was one that will live
long in the memories of all present,
every one expressing him or herself as
having had a delightful time.
Those present from distance were :
Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Wiegand, DR.. and
Mrs. ]. B. Neal, Mr.. H. o. Rogers
and wife, Mrs. r. c. Neal, Misses
Powers, Monroe, Parkes and McHen-
rY, Messrs. Rickets, Goodhue, Hodge,
Jones and Williamson.
Everything in the arrangements
moved smoothly from beginning 10
end. Mr.. Hill proprietor Of Proctor
Inn, did everything possible for the ac-
commodatlon of his guests, and the
railroad facilities were excellent.

CENTRAL PARK.

There will be more excursions to
Central this year than any season.
The fact is, people have been looking
about for some suitable place for sum
mer excursions, and have found none
so desirable as that of Central. The
scenery along the route is grand. The
train leaving early in the morning, the
woods and hills afford protection from
the sun, and the passengers are not
annoyed by dust and dirt. The temp.
erature at Central is nearly ten degrees
lower than this place, and the noun
springs produce water that is abso-
lutely pure. The grove itself is Ger
tainly beautiful. Our people here dc
not half appreciate the advantages we
enjoy by our nearness to such a
beautiful place, and the exceedingly
low car fare of less than a cent mile
to reach there. If this grove were To-
Gated along any other railroad we be,
lieve that the full excursion rate of two
cents mile would be charged, and
still the grove always occupied.

Available Whip Cost, So, 900,

The Vanderbilt family owns valua-
bic whip. 1t was presented to the
late w. II. Vanderbilt by the Jackson
4 Woodin Car company, of Berwick,
Pa. The design was made by Fritz
Kaldenburg, the sculptor at cost Of
$4,000. The whip and ivory stock,
before any carving was done cost 5000.
1t is seven feet long. Above
the stock the whip is made Of solid
whale bone, then worth So per pound,
now scarce at $Io. Over this solid
whalebone is the finest braiding of
split tapered whllebone ever attempt
ed.
The braiding of the whip and the
making of the snapper occupied one
whole month. The case for the whip
cost $Ioo. The handle of the whip
is the purest ivory, twenty-one inches
long and one and one half inches
thick at the butt end, which is an ora
mental capital, from which floral
pattern emanates, emblematic Of pow
er, truth and perpetuity, which en-
circles four panels. In each panel is
a wonderful piece of carving-on one
side train of cars, on the other a
steamboat symbolizing the fountain OF
Cornelius Vrnderbit's great achieve.
ments.
On the third and fourth pannels
are the achievements of w. H. Van
derbilt's genius-the Grand Central
Railroad Depot on one and on the
other himself in buggy driving his
celebrated fast horses on the road
On the end of the handle two por-
trait busts in high relief of Cornelius
and w. II. Vanderbilt father and
son. The whip is sacredly kept in Il
glass case among the art treasures OF
the Vanderbilt gallery, and in future
generations will be treasured as work
Of art, even though it is only whip.

QUAY'S SUMNER HOME

Win Be on the Deep Blue Sea in the Clip
per Yacht Of an Atlantic City Man
Dick Provides for the Liquid Refresh
ments.
ATLANTIC CITY, June 21.-[Special J.
Yesterday Ben Sooy, the owner of the
smart clipper which bears the name of I'M.
S. Quay" received long letter from Dick
Quay, the Senator's son, in which he out
lined the wishes Of his distinguished father
in the shape of detailed instructions to
Captain Sooy. The latter tries to be very
much like Senator Quay in his manner of
refusing to talk to newspaper men, but he
is garrulous so far as his neighbors are con-
cerned, and to a neighbor the letter was
shown.
Young Quay, in his letter, stated that his
father was very desirous of spending as
much of his time as possible on the water
as he, intended to do little else this season
than fish. He would do nothing but fish in
deep sea, and, therefore, desired Captain
Sooy to make all necessary preparations to
spend the day on the water from early
morning until nightfall.
'Father is desirious," continued the let
ter, 'for you to devise some kind of an
awning under which he can take nap
when he desires. If any expenses are in
CURED, keep track of them and you will be
reimbursed. Do not let expenses stand in
the way of making everything about the
boat irst-class, for it will practically be
our home this summer Get all the pro-
visions necessary, and get none but the best.
Use your own judgment concerning the
edibles, and as to the liquid part of the
ballast will attend to that myself"
MI. Sooy told the communicative neigh
Dor that Senator Quay would be in New
York for week before July 4, and on July
5 would arrive at Brigantine, where apart
ments had been prepared for eight persons.
Who the eight persons are to be no one ap-
pears to know but Senator Quay himself
