The booths were decorated with fancy mus
Inns and flags, and the bright coIors
against the cool green sward made a
very pretty effect. There was a good
attendance on both nights. 1t was the first
lawn fete by the q. z. Church, and, consid-

ably be the last in Williamsburg this sum-

route. His colleague, Senator Brice,
spends his summers at Newport, where
he has splendid establishment,
Senator Frye has a rational method of
passing his vacation. He goes up the
Rangeley lakes in Maine and camps out
in the woods, where the trout streams are
frequent and fascinating. When the
trout begin to run in the early summer
Senator Frye shakes the dust of Wash
ington from his feet and HES to the
woods. After two or three weeks of
sport he returns to his senatorial labors.
He is here now. but it is easy to see, as
he dozes in his chair, that ne dreams of
the woods and the fish. Senator Hale
has fine place at Ellsworth, across the
bay, eighteen miles from Bar Harbor,
ana there he spends the summer months,
near enough to be neighborly with his
friends, the Blaines.
Senator Chandler is too busy to have
a vacation. Work is rest for his ener-
getic, interchangeable soul. Senator Proc
tor takes long drives through his be-
loved Green mountains. The senator
who does most driving across country is
Cullom, of Illinois. At his home in
Springfield he keeps an old mare and an
antiquated vehicle which he calls a
"coop," though it was built a long time
ago for coupe. With the old horse
and the old scoop" Senator Cullom
drives at a leisurely pace over the prai-
ries of Illinois. So long as the old mare
survives and the scoop" hangs together
it will not be easy for any ambitious
Illinoisan to get Cullom's seat away
from him. Senator Palmer, ''the grand
old man." is only seventy-fve, and he
still thinks himself young enough to
pass his vacation trying lawsuits on the
Illinois circuit which Lincoln and Doug
las made famous. The old man likes
nothing better than chance to ha-
rangue jury and swap stories with the
country lawyers.
Two of our Senators-Stanford and
Hoar-are in Europe, and perhaps
dozen more will sail as soon as congress
adjourns. Senator Aldrich, the tariff
leader on the Republican side, is an en-
thusiastic member of the famous Squan-
tum club, of Rhode Island, and if he
enjoys anything better than clambake
it is trolling for blueish in the blue
waters of the Atlantic. Senator Quay
is another great fisherman, and he
tackles anything from pickerel to whale,
with preference for Florida tarpon lin
season. and sea bass and bluefish. Every
year, with party of friends, he goes on
a. cruise in a Yacht. and right good times
they all have, hear.
Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, has
a novel way of enjoying himself in va
cation. He keeps barge on the Poto-
mac, fitted up with kitchen and cabins,
and with select party of friends he
moves up and down the Potomac, from
the mountains to the sea, fishing or hunt
ing. Senator Stockbridge likes fishing,
too, though in the fresh water Of his

own Michigan; and what time he can
spare from the fish he puts in with the
horses on his famous stock farm. Sena-
tor Wolcott hovers between ranch
away up in the mountains of Colorado
and the gay life of Saratoga or Long
Branch. Wherever the fastest horses
are running for the biggest stakes, there
you will be pretty sure to find the elo-
quent young senator from Colorado.
Our southern senatorial friends for
the most part go to the White Sulphur
Springs or Fortress Monroe, or remain
quietly at home. The craze for summer
resorts is not nearly so strong in the
south as it is in the north. One excep-
ton to this senatorial rule is Mr.. Butler,
of South Carolina. He has a place at
Cohasset, up in that New England which
the Buffers of the past generation de-
spised so cordially.
There is one style of senatorial vaca-
ton which am glad to see falling into
innocuous desuetude. That is junketing
at the governments expense. For sew
eral years the junket was in high favor.
1t was a committee to investigate Cana
dian relations or Pacific railroads or
condition of the natives of Alaska. OF
course servants, paid by the govern
ment, were taken along, and the sub
sistence department was well looked
after, as the bills for wines and liquors
which came in and were charged to the
contingent fund afterward proved. The
naval committees of the two houses have
been fond of taking magnificent trips
on government cruisers. Last summer
one senator spoiled a fine stag party by
taking his wife along, and when the
cruiser touched land again the offender
and his fair partner were accidentally"
left behind. Some of the sores result
ing from that accident" have not vet
healed.
