Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1897-07-15

| Maine. The Ellsworth Knights are
enthusiastic in their praise of the recep-
tion accorded them in Portland, and of
the celebration as a whole. From one Of
the Portland papers it is learned that
the Ellsworth company, while one of
the youngest in line, was one of the finest
in appearance.
Rev. Albert j. Lord has accepted call
to the pastorate of the Congregational
church at Hartford, Vt, and entered
upon his duti les last Sunday. Mr.. Lords
call to this church as his first charge is a
tlattering one. Hartford is not as large
town as Ellsworth, having population of
some 1000, but the church to which Mr..
Lord has been called has a larger men,
bership than the Congregational church
of this city. Mr.. Lords many friends
here predict for him success in his Iifes
work.

week were the following from Hancock

Judge Lucilus A Emery, Of the su-
preme judicial court of Maine, was in
town this week, and like all good men
who love and enjoy outdoor sports and
heslthful exercise, he brought his wheel
along with him. The judge went over to
Sorrento to make an informal call upon
Chief Justice Fuller, and incidentally
took spin over the fine roads OF that
picturesque resort. He was nattily at
tired in gray flannel outing suit, and
looked very much like a member OF the
l.. A. w. The judge is very good rider,
and handles his bike with grace and tact.
Judge Emery has held many responsible
positions, but it is doubtful II he has
ever held any more difficult to fill than
that of riding bicycle over a country
road; and he has filled none with more
ability than the one he now occupies a
member of The supreme bench OF this
state.-Bar Harbor Record.
The Unitarian Sunday school with its
friends started for Newbury Neck this
"Wednesday morning ou The schooner
samuel Lewis, in tow Of tie Little
| Round Top" The wind was blowing a
/ gale. The bay vas ItaHtlh foam, ard
somewhat rough. It was altogether too
rough for those on board who We're not
| sailors and they seemed few and soon
after the schooner pcked her nose outside
the bar there WAS trouble on board.
Most OF the eXcursionist9 We're rot sorry
| when the schooner turned tail to the gale,
and came back up the river to Tinker S
wharf, where they disembarked and those
who did not walk home ate their
| picnic luncheons in the grove and en-
| joyed it much more than they would had
| they continued on the sail down the bay.
There were about $50 in the party,
"Kim', as the rollcl<ing advertising
manager of the Maine Central Magazine,
w. A. X kmball, is best known, has
this to say i'll the July nun Der:
"ElIsworth is a little city snuggled down
in the valley by itself, and they have
good hotel there, the Hancock house,
kept by our friend, Frank Gould, and
it's a dandy. He has twenty elegant
rooms, steam heat, electric light, bath
rooms, free carriage to and from all trains.
You can't expect the earth for = day,
but you come pretty near getting it here,
with a fence around it. We have known
Frank for n long while and can highly
recommend his house. | don't know
whet her Ben Tinker is there now or not,
but il he is kindly remember me to him."
Yes, Ben is still there, and as busy and
ohlipinp and reminiscent as ever
