our not having time to number the
M. 5 pages in consecutive order.
During our short stay in Union
week before last we were impressed
with the wonderful amount of bnsi-
ness being done there. The store
of A. II. Foster & Co. was jaumed
so full of customers on Wednesday
that the clerks could hardly get ,
round, and the immense amount of
goods going out of that and other
stores was an indicator that the hard
times was "of duty" or had gone to
hunt more c0ngenisl CLINE.

OLD YACHT SPY.
After Life of Usefulness She Is To Be
Broken Up.

The yacht Spy, once one of the largest
and fastest in the harbor, is to
be broken up. The sails have not been
bent on the yacht for about five years.
But every winter she has been carefully
hauled up at KnIghtville, and every sum-
ner has been as carefully repaired and
painted and towed out to the anchorage,
there to lie idle all summer.
So the Spy, although unused, has been
by no means deserted or neglected
yacht.
Her owner, Miss Helen Cram, of this
city, enjoys the distinction of being one
of the first, if not the very first woman
In the United States to own a yacht. She
acquired the Spy about 1875. In those
dars the Spy was one Of the most promi-
nent crafts in the yacht club.
About five years ago Miss Cram was
obliged, By the illness of her mother to
give up yachting entirely. Since then
Captain Blake has cared for the Spy.
Miss Cram has become SO attached to
the old boat that she does not wish to sell
her. so has decided to have her broken
up
The Spy was designed by William
Taylor, recently deceased. who was also
the designer of the Viva.

The Beechsr Club.

Among the social and delightful events
Of the week worthy of special record, was
the entertainment of the Beeoher club in

Mrs. M. e. Stevens, at her beautiful and
hospitable home in South Bridgton. Miss
Geraldine M cCann was also present as a
guest of honor. Mrs. Stevens entertained
the club with charming drive. The
event of the occasion was an elegant
dinner marked by the beautiful floral
and autumnal decorations. Miss Simpson
made some very clever pen and ink
sketches on cards, with appropriate
verses and illustrated quotations from
the best authors. Miss Beechei favored
the guests with suggestive remarks, and
then Miss Geraldine Mccain rendered
some quaint songs inimitably, fitting
close to the days enjoyment.
