A CANOE PARADE.

ehaSning Festival Given by Summer WIS.,
itors at Bar Harbor.
Turning from Lenox and it's environs TO
the far northeasterly end of our Atlantic
coast line, we find on the rocky shores of
Mount Desert new and elaborate examples
of the rural festival. Long years ago, be-
fore that rare and charming isle had been
formally adopted as 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
the 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 mis-
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
fortunately CLASSY stretch of Frenchman's
bay, near the westerly point of Bar island,
gathered a number of flower wreathed ca
noes TO perform series of maneuvers as
dexterous in execution as ingenious in the
planning.
The canoe parade, repeated the following
year was followed In another season by an
illuminated fete. To this midsummer

graciousness. The sun had set upon n sea

flooded the bar, people living along the

electric arcs above the town and from the

tion was dwelling situated upon the
shore at some distance up the bay, where
the performers in these mysteries Of the
expedition were expected ultimately TO
congregatc 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 cortoge fell again into line
and proceeded TO disembark upon float
