BAR HARBOR, Me-, June %, 1897.
There is nothing more delightful than in
strange land to meet an old friend. How
the heart beats. the cheeks fiush the hand
gees straight out, to one we have known
at home" Today I went to the village
Main street, to chat with the village veter-
mary surgeon on a matter of news. l had
learned of the death of a valuable horse
brought down by Almeric Hugh Paget,
who, with his wife, formerly Pauline Whit
ney, is at Point DAcadie." The surgeon
told me pneumonia killed the animal; that
1t was four-year-old, &C., one of three
Mr.. Paget had in the superb Vanderbilt
stables. We were condoling with owners
who met such losses, when suddenly look
ed down to the pavement and at the heels
OF the surgeon saw familiar face. "Oh!'
1 exclaimed, Il didn't know there was but
one dog in the world as hideously beautiful
as Mr.. John O'Donnels 'Bulla'" The dog
pr1cked up his ears, the surgeon smiled.
That is Bulla." he said, and wild de-
sire to pat the animal l had walked blocks
to avoid in Washington overcame me-
Everybody who is anybody, and some
who are not, in Washington, knows "Bul-
la. Those who don't love him fear"
him, so perhaps the fact that he has been
ill-quite ill-but is terribly lonely in his
convalescence, will give joy at the capital
even as knowledge of Paget's sorrow will
put half the AnglomaniacS in New York in
mourning.
Joyful News.
The news received here this morning
from the Navy Department at Washington
that the white squadron" not including
ships doing patrol duty on Florida coast,
but those Of North Atlantic station, will
about August l be ordered on a several
weeks cruise down east" fills the place
with joy. Plans of department provide
that "a general rendesvouz'' of the ships
will take place at Portland August IL
later by discretion of the admiral. This
means much here to cottagers, other rus
tlcators, tradesmen and natives" The
dove and olive branch could never have
snowy sea birds to the average hotel man
CT Mt. Desert. Already there are yachts
galore IN the harbor. None from Wash
ington as yet. but wait!
