 Fishing has not been remarkably good during the week. Old fishermen say that it never Is at the full of the moon, but predict some good fishing within the next fol might. Selectman Foster, w. A.

 The week was most enjoyable one to the many who spent it at the Mayfiower, and the same party have bespoken accom- modations together for the same period next year. The days went by rapidly, with fishing, rowing and exploring the fine features of natural scenery in the vii cinity. Some of the pranks played by the young people will be enjoyed in memory for years to come. @'<. ",-'e',.'' "- s
 Laurel Park was convenient calling place for boating parties, and here the latch string was always out and a cordial greeting met every visitor. The young gentlemen from this place were in turn welcome guests at the Mayfower tennis grounds, or when the strains of music foated over the lake and the light fan tastic was tripped in unison herewith.
 On Friday evening the Mayfower guests were invited to Smiths grove, where the young men of Laurel Park had provided music, and the ample pavilion was well filled with dancers. Most of the party made the trip by water, 8 few preferring the carriage ride around: It was fine sight to see the fleet of boats returning home in the moonlight, bearing joyous company, who, before leaving, gave wig orous cheers for their hosts and for MT. Smith, who had done so much to make the evening pleasant for all. t...:
 One day nearly all went to ''the Ra- vine," one. of the most wildly beautiful scenes in Connecticut. On another long string of carriages bore all to the Cat Rocks, a precipitious ledge extending for miles along valley, and miles from any habitation. This is truly wonderful bit of scenery The visitors stood on giddy heights and looked down upon the tops oi forest trees directly beneath them.s Al places one could scramble down and look up at the rocks piled up by nature in her most sportive mood; here rent rock, to look into the Assure of which almost cre- ate dizziness, then yawning cavern. Some of the caves could contain score or more ofspersons without crowding, and one can easily imagine what, haunt oi wild beasts these cat rocks were in the olden time. Not far away is one of those ever interesting objects-a tilting rock an immense boulder so poised on 8 ledge that 8 child could rock it, yet it held sev- eral persons while tilting. Here was one of the many places where Miss Newton's camera got focus upon groups of merry makers during the week.
 And with one happy party the week at Mayland Park is a memory stored away with those of three past years before, and a sharpener for an appetite for the hoped for meeting of 1894. -'-.+ "V@+3 'H The Booth family had 8 reunion at Smiths grove on Friday last, thirty per sons being present from Union, Stafford, Brimfield, and other places.
