The water front presents a scene of lively
interest every day. Yachts from Bangor,
Bucksport, Castine, Islesboro and other
places have been moored off shore at differ
ent times, and they with the numerous row
boats passing to and fro lnake a very pretty
nautical picture. The yacht Glide of Belfast
is as great favorte with the cottagers and
guests at the Hotel as ever. She has con
tinued her successes of last year by defeat
ing the yachts Lillian & Helen and Annie
+. Spencer-the race with the latter yacht
being spirited affair. After the race the
crew of the Glide were royalty entertained
by the crew of the Spencer During the last
few days the yacht Klondike of Brewer has
rugged, and was built by Capt. Manu- in his
door yard and when completed, hauled
down to the river. She is veritable coun-
try home made boat, but most comfortable
craft to cruise in. She has commodious
cabin, with four be rths, water closet and
nice cooking arrangements. The captain is
accompanied by his charming daughter and
a young lady friend, and they are out on
cruise. The captains history reads like a
romance. He had been master of a vessel
for thirty-tive years. About ten years ago
his wife and three children accompanied him
and sunk by three-masted schooner All
on board We're saved but the narrow escape
from death caused the captains wife to pre-
vail upon him to quit the perils of sea far
ing life. Up to the present time he has lived
on land, but his love for the sea has never left
him, and desire to be once more atioat re-
suited in the construction of his homely, but
comfortable craft.
