Gala Day at Peaks Island.
Saturday was gala day at Peaks and
hundreds Of people went down to Tn 9
island on the boats of the Casco Bay line.
A great part of the crowd was made up
of ladies and children and how the young
sters did enjoy the afternoon They
howled with delight at the antics of the
musical clowns who gave free exhibit
ton on the out of door stage, greatly en-
joyed the singing and dancing of the
Virginia troubadouFs, who seemed to en-
joy the performance they gave themselves
and fairly run themselves crazy over the
green grass of the lawn.
But the best fun of all and one which
the oldsters as we'll as the youngsters
seemed to enjoy, was the day fire works.
The kids chased the toys released by
the big bombs which go high into the sir
and then burst, letting fall all kinds Of
things for the children to seram BILE after.
The older people watched the big balloons
go calling upwards until they disappeared
in the clouds and speculated on their
height and the speed they were making.
Some of the younger folks got spoony
toy bombs and balloons.
Only one accident occurred to mar the
days happiness. The man who was sent
down from Boston to hand le the fire
works received painful injury by the
premature bursting of a dynamite bomb
which smashed his nose and nearly killed
him. Mr.. Joseph Dow was ON hand
promptly and fixed up the mans wounds
and bandaged his cuts and bruises. The
man was able to continue his work after
q time but he became more careful how
he lighted fuses and then peeked into
the tube to see if the bomb was going
off.
Some went to the rink and skated or
watched the polo game. Many wan
dered through Greenwood garden and
saw the animals and swing In the swings
and the biggest crowd of the season at
at James Horne in "Our Regiment I"
Every body had good time, got sun
burned and hungry and came home feel
ing happy and glad they had visited
Peaks on its gala day.
in the evening occurred the fire works
which were fine and more fun at the'rink
and theatre. Peaks, the Cony Island of
Maine, is indeed "a great place in which
to spend day.
Balloon Ascensions.
There will be balloon ascensions and
paraoh ute drops at Peaks Island every af-
ternoon this week, beginning Tuesday
afternoon. these ascensions will be made
as near half past o'clock each afternoon
as the wind and weather will permit.

HARDWARE.

The hardware merchants had but little
to complain Of during the past year. Start
ing out with the prospects anything but
bright, they were agreeably surprised at
the amount Of business done. Taken all
together, the trade was equally as good,
If not considerably better than the pre-
vious year. The improved condition of
the crops in Florida, after the terrible
setback year before last, added TO the
past years trade. The satisfactory prices
paid for cotton was another gratifying
feature. and collections we're much better
than was expected.
The financial condition Of the farmers
improved wonderfully. as those who rails
cd cotton at cost Of to SC, sold 1t for
much more than they expected to get.
The business during the past spring was
very much larger than the previous year,
as the planters had more money to put
into improvements on their farms.
The prospects for a good trade and
prompt payments were never brighter.
as the crops in this vicinity are In fair
condition, the damage to cotton being
less than that in the southwest.
Were II not for the unsettled condition
Of political affairs, which demoralizes
business, the hardware trade would be
considerably better than It now promises
to be.
The wholesale merchants OF Savannah
have added to their facilities during the
past year, and are able to handle an
