Chandler's bond played some Of its
choicest selections Eduring the sail
and it's presence added greatly, to the en-
joyment Of the occasion. After sailing
up the harbor in order to give the visi-
tors comprehensive view of Portland's
fine water front and docking facilities,
the Pilgrim sailed out the ship channel
and around Oushing's island. coming
back into the har bor again through
White Head passage. Here the visitors
we're given fine view of the features Of
the old man who guards this entrance to
the harbor, carved by nature in bold
face on the bluff in as perfect manner
as it could have been done by Sculptor.
The steamer Pilgrim then sailed swiftly
through the roads between the beautiful
islands of the bay and across Hussey's
sound to Factory landing. Great Che
beague island, where stop was made
for lunch.
In the large cabin of the stea mer
caterer Dana Robinson had spread his
tables, finely decorated with flowers and
fruit, and on which were placed all kinds
of coed things. The lunch consisted OF
steamed olams and Holsters. sandwiches,
cold meats and fruits. and the way it
disappeared before the hungry crowd was
a sight once seen to be long remembered.
Solid old business men with plates piled
high with steaming CLAIMS balanced on
their knees. deftly extracted the clam
from it's sh ell and in all kinds Of grace
full and awkward fashions managed to
dispose of it in some way, apparently
very satisfactory to themselves. When
cigars were lighted the party landed On
the picturesque island and strolled about,
drinking in one of the finest views In the
lower bay. After nearly an hour had
been passed in this way the band headed
a procession which marched down onto
the side OF q bold bluff where photog-
rapher W. W. White took picture OF the
group.
President Henry Lord then called the
State Board of Trade toget her, and the
following resolutions were presented and
adopted:
