The excursion to Bar Harbor in steamer
Viking was a pleasant affair to a company of
30 persons, besides children, as they left the
wharf here.
The hotel and store will remain open a
few weeks more, and then good bye to the
crowd, with nice cool weather and glorious
autumn for the few who remain to eniov
them.
