The Press., 1898-07-07

An unexpected pleasure on Thursday
morning was general invitation for the
excursionists to visit the private flower
garden of Mr.. DeWolf. This garden is
thing of beauty, containing nearly every
thing adapted to that climate. The
grounds were terraced, with small
wooded hill at the rear, in which were
summer houses, walks and seats. Among
these trees were growing ferns, orchids
and rare specimens.
The citizens of Kentville gathered at
the station to see us off, and with cheers
and best wishes we bade farewell.
At Middleton a large delegation well
coined us, and lunch was served in the
station restaurant.
Yarmouth was reached at 8. 80, and we
sailed for Boston at once. An elaborate
dinner was served on the steamer, after
which we all went on deck to watch the
sun set, magnificent sight The water
was literally vivid red as far as the eye
could reach. We landed in Boston Fri
day morning about 1920, where it was
our pleasure to attend Keth's theatre
that night. The house surpasses any
thing in this country in grandeur, with
it's beautiful courts, parlors, toilet rooms,
elegant pictures, and immaculate engine
rooms. The lighting, ventilating and
cooling systems seem perfect. A visit to
Boston will not be complete with out a
visit to Keith's.
