Ocean Point is Booming.

Ocean Point, the summer resort o
many of our citizens, is reported to have
been remarkably free from any disasters
from the recent storm. Moreover there
are many features in the building line
being projected there, which will be wei
coined.
James McDougal is erecting a building
on the lower part to be occupied by q
grocery store; the upper by dance hall,
Of spacious dimensions. Both of these
have been much wanted by the summer
residents and will be kecnly appreciated.
1t is reported that the Brainard cottage
has been leased to the Camp Quiet Club
and that negotiations are being made by
the club for a steam launch for its use
during the coming summer so it looks as
if that club we're planning to entertain
more royalty than ever.

VERY SATISFACTORY.


Thursday was visitors day at the Maine
Insane hospital and Gen. Il. B. Shepherd
Of Skowhegan, Hon. Judson Clark of
Calais, and c. S. Pearl of Bangor, of the
board of trustees, were present and made
their visit. They found the wards in ex-
cellent condition and the institution
throughout very free from sickness. Their
report was of the most commentary de-
scription.
During their stay in the city, members
of the State board of agriculture were
taken over the new barn by DR.. Sanborn
and to a man they expressed the most I'M
qualified praise at the new structure, re-
garding Its accommodations and system
throughout.
The barn is clearly an extraordinary
one, and the moro inspection it receives,
the more IS this fact demonstrated.

THE LAST DAY.
Board Of Agriculture Closes
Its Interesting Session.
Board Decides to Sever Its Connection
from State Pathological Society.
Farmers Institutes Exsoiled-unveilinq Of
Picture Of Or. Holmes Entertainment.

The second days meeting Of the State
board of agriculture was fully attended by
the members.
The meeting opened with discussion
Of the question as to whether the board
should help defray the expenses Of
speakers at the union winter meeting
with the Pathological Society, on the
motion made Wednesday, by W. H. Moody
of Waldo county. There was some opposi
ton but the motion was passed.
Mr.. Light thought that the Pomolog
ical Society had been amply furnished fol
by the State. 1t seemed to be time that
one of two things should be done. The
board should withhold this aid. or at its
institutes take no notice of pomology.
The resolutions were adopted, which
were made by e. E. Light, that legal
standard of measure for cream should BE-
established, that should be based upon the
weight of butter fat it contains, deter.
mined by scales and the Babcock test
and also that the board use its Influence
to secure the passage of law to establish
standard Of purity Of grain and grass
seeds imported for sale, and providing 70,
inspection of same.
1t was the general opinion that with
the right use of the Babcock test, in care
and honesty, that method would be most
satisfactory.
These two resolutions were thoroughly
discussed and it was finally voted to adopt
them.
1t was moved that the executive CON-
mittee be instructed to bring the subjects
for action before the committee of agri-
culture at next year. session of the Lcgis-
laturc.
G. n. Holland moved that the next
State dairy meeting be held in Penobscot
county at such time and place as the
executive committee might decide upon.
Many other members of the board fol-
lowed this move, with other moves to
have the meeting be held in various
places, and some interesting discussions
followed.
It was generally conceded that the
meeting should be held to best advantage
in those sections where the dairy produce
was weakest, rather than where it was
strong, in order to exert stimulus. Mr..
Holland, the member from Penobscot
county produced figures to show that in
his county there had been serious fall
ing of during the past years, and that it
should be remedied by having the dairy
meeting there. The matter was tabled to
come up, this afternoon.
A committee was appointed to confer
with the State grange in the matter of a
union grange and farmers field day
meeting to be held some time in August,
at Old Orchard. W. Fl. Vinton, 7. f.
Skolfield, and L. o. Straw were appointed
on this committee.
