Tuesday evening Aug. 18th, there was
lawn party at the residence of Geo. IL.
Boothby. The weather being fine there
was nothing to prevent the people from
going AS the sun went down they
Old Orchard, Piue Point and Dunstan
Corner, until there were over 200 people
on the grounds. The house and grounds
were illuminated with hundreds of
Japanese lanterns and decorated with
large and small flags. The Esty Band
was there and played a fine selection OF
music. Mr. and Mrs. Littlefield and
Miss Carrie Mills entertained the older
people in the house by playing flne Sc.
lection of music on the piano, violin and
cornet. The young ladies and gentleman
sang fine selection of music. Ice cream
and cake were served to all. The re-
ceipts of the evening were for the benent
of Rev. B. Freeman, and were nearly
$40. The whole thing was the grandest
affair of the kind ever known here, as
the usual attendance at such times is
less than 100 people. Mr.. Freeman has
many friends in Scarboro and vicinity,
and the people will turn ont any time
to give him a benefit, and he is willing
to do anything in his power for his
people. In fact there has not been en- !, a
minister here for good many years that
has done the good work that Mr.. Free
man has or that was liked SO well by the
people.
