MAKING AN OUTLET.
The Channel They Are Cutting Through
Merry Meeting Bay.

On his return from the ice fields below

George n. Lawrence, who has charge
of quitting the channel, said to reporter
1.-THE work is progressing most salts.
factorily, and If reasonably favorably
weather continues, I hope to i. see the
channel completed up to the jam. by
Wednesday evening. Saturday night a
distance of about one mile had to be cut
over on one side, on account OF the Ice
closing together. A strip for that dis
tance Of some 65 feet wide had to be cut
away, occupying the small force en-
ployed during that day.
"On Monday a crew of III men and
about 40 horses started in, and by night
had accomplished about mile more on
the channel. About Hmiles have now
been cut, leaving little over two miles
yet to be cut before the foot Of the jam Ia
reached.
"The channel ia about 500 feet at the
widest, at the mouth of it, so to speak,
and about $50 feet at the narrowest place.
Part of the distance it runs about $50 feet
in width"
The work is under the personal super
vision Of Mr.. Lawrence, whose long ex-
perience In the ice business makes him a
most competent man for experimenting
such piece Of work.

nent part Of all the harmony and de-
signed to represent the Star of Bethle-

its orescendos and diminuendos was very
taking, and exquisitely executed by Mr..
Carter.

so familiar to all was the next number
and displayed to great advantage the
beautiful clarinet stop of the new organ.

served to show Mr.. Carter's splendid
technique to great advantage.
The programme was concluded with

The recital was by all odds the most at
traotive yet given by Mr.. Carter.
