A small but very select party went to Saratoga, last week, under the guidance of the Recreation Tourist Co.,, for four day excursion, and all expressed them selves as perfectly delighted with the treatment received. It is astonishing how the company can afford to give so much entertainment for so little money. These tours are conducted by an experi- enced conductor who is familiar with the route, which relieves the tourist from all care.

The new commissioners have already commenced improvements on the park with determination that the money ex- pended will be for the benefit of the park. Visitors st the park are increasing every day. It is interesting to note that MT Meager's father served in the Civil War, his grandfather in the War of 1872, while his great grandfather did service in the Revolutionary army. Ex-Sheriff Aaron Sanford was recently re-appointed commissioner of Putnam park by Gov Coffin.
