A CANOE PARADE
Charming Festival Given at
Bar Harbor. }

Turning from Lenox aud It's envlrons 10
the far northeasterly end Of our Atlantic
ooast line, we find on the rocky shores of
Mount Desert new and elaborate examples
of tho rural festival. Long years ago. be-
fore that rare and charming isle had been
formally adopted rs the chosen resort of
summer pilgrims from all parts OF the
continent athletic contests, foot races and
canoe races among the Passamaquoddy
Indians were known to Bar Harbor. by
tho descendants Of those Indians was
aroused the interest In canoeing shown by
visitors Of recent times which resulted in
the formation Of the Canoe club, now
numbering hundreds Of members.
The first public parade of the club was
arrange In honor of an expected visit from
Matthew Arnold, who In discussing his
anticipated expedition TO that Eden OF the
Sea, had expressed hope that he might
there find some spectacle possessing the
true local color which he had failed to dis
cover elsewhere In America, Marshaled In
line, with bows toward the South, upon a
fortunately CLASSY stretch Of Frenchman's
bay, near the westerly point Of Bar island,
gathered a numl'er Of flower wreathed ca
noes to perform "A series of manAlyers as
dexterous In execution rs Ingenious in the
planning
The canoe parade, repeated the following
year, was followed In another season by an
illuminated fete. To this midsummer
nights dream nature lent herself In all
graciousness. The sun had set upon sen
OF opal. AS the moon rose and the tide
flooded the bar, people living along the
shore on each side Of the Eden road sat in
their verandas to wait for the coming of
the boats, In an atmosphere as soft and
caressing as that Of June night In Ven
Ice. From the starting place at the chief
landing OF the village out Of darkness
streaked with columns Of light from the
electric arcs above the town and from the
lamps OF q hotilla of yachts and other
boats at anchor In the harbor, came silent
ly stealing long train OF mysterious black
craft tossing leashes Of FIRE bubbles into
the air or wreathed from stem To stern
with multicolored lanterns Their destina-
tion was q dwelling situated upon the
shore at some distance up the bay, where
the performers In these mysteries OF the
expedition wero expected ultimately TO
at supper. For an hour the
meanderings Of the fire laden boats gave
delight to many watchers ashore At last,
answering the signal Of dance music from
the house, the cortege fell again into line
and proceeded to disombark upon float
ing wharf lighted by bengal fires and
strung with eolored lanterns. The boats,
deserted by their crews, were then strung
together by boatmen and towed back to
the starting point, the jewellers electing to
return by the highways.-Mrs. Burton
Harrison in Century.

Bohemian Dancing.

There were many merry and grotesque
dances among the early Bohemians, al
though the church was often hostile Some
the village festivities which had such q
charming laureate In Robert Herrick.
Those were indeed days when
Merrily went their tabor
And nimbly went their toes.
But gradually, owing to the spread
throughout the country of religious opin-
ions very much corresponding TO those Of
our own Puritans, the dance became an
object Of spiritual ccnsure
1t was In tho sixteenth century that the
thundcrs Of the church began to be direct
ed against 1t with the greatest severity.
None was moro forward in these attacks
than the members Of the bohemian broth
erhood. One chapter OF our authors book
Is devoted to an account OF these opponents.
In 1926 and 1865 the diets passed laws In
restraint Of the excuses Of dancing. But
one Of the greatest of It's enemies was the
famous Simon Lomnicky. an author who
plays a conspicuous part In the Bohemian
troubles at the end of the sixteenth and
beginning Of the seventeenth century.
Still. for all these philippics, dances
went on among the 5ohUmians on saints
days and holidays In the marke. place and
around the maypolc. Tho peasants had
hard time Of IL, but they still danced, just
as tho Polish rustics did In spite Of tho
grievous corvee, or as even in the old times

RELICS OF OTHER DAYS.

Mayor Connell yesterday received
two odd gifts, one of which Is very valu-
able, from Rev. DR.. w. II. Pearce. pas
tor Of Elm Park church. The articles
were an old Roman seal found beneath
the Coliseum. and a paper cutter
made from an olive shrub which DR..
Pearce cut from the Mount of Olives
at Jerusalem. The Roman seal is Of
bronze and Is two and one-half inches
in diameter. On one side Is the raised
figure OF a wild boar surmounted by
an arrow; the other side shows the
helmeted head Of a legionary. The fig
ures can be easily discerned, but the
seal during centuries has gathered a
quantity Of substance. The whole
weighs perhaps a pound. 1t was ex-
humed from beneath what Is now
called the "office" of the Coliseum,
and which was occupied by the aedlle,
or chief of public works. Only three Of
the relics are in existence.
e. E. Owens, OF 1920 Jones street, Is
the owner of a silver Masonic pin that
has been in his family for over two hun
dred years. It was made by hand, Is
Of a beautiful design and is supposed to
be about 300 years old. 1t came into
the possession Of Mr.. Owens two years
ago on the death of his father, who was
SO years Of age. For four generations
It has been handed down from father
to son in the Owens families, and Is
priced very highly by Its present
owner.
