lots OF money made IN he hotel business
this summer The rush has set in fully
two wesksssarlier than usual, and the
scenes around the station this Afternoon
made Al seem just like the height OF the
season.
The 10. 80 train, this forenoon, brought
from Portland a party Of 1875 officers and
employees Of the Union Mutual Lite In
suEanoe company and their families. In
the afternoon 2s5 excursionIsts from
Springfield. Mass, who are booked for
two weeks stay at the Old Orchard
house, put in an appearances Biddeford
ANA saco have just begun the Saturday
half-holiday system. and hundreds Of oft
izsns from those two places came down
on the electrics and steam cars for Whit
Of the salt air. Chandler's band Of Port
land, which is under two days contract
with Il. l.. Hildreth, proprietor OF the
new Hotel Velvet, gave open air concsrts,
first ON the piazzas of the Velvet then at
the entrances to the pier, and later In
Railroad square.
Il was an exceedingly lively afternoon

SON Ii not considered fairly started till
after the Fourth, but this season OF 1899
gives unmistakabls promise Of being
record breaker. All the hotels are, open,
some Of them well peopled. and the de-
nand for cottages beats anything local
real estate men have experienced in many
pears.
THE UNION MUTUAL OUTING.
AT the beginning of every summer the
Union Mutual gives all Its officers and
employees days outing. Usually the
chosen date is the last Saturday In June,
but thas day falling this year on a Ma
sonic holiday, the outing was put forward

From the station the party proceeded
to the Seashore house, where arrange
ments had been made for their entertAin-
rnent. Some remained ON the Seashore
verandas until dinner time, imbiping
ozone from the breeze that was waited in
from the sss, while the others OF the par
" ,tarted ont on Sightseeing expeditions
and - lew took dip in the surf.
There was no occasion for the sound
ing Of gepg at the dinuer hour, for the
piigrims had all returned and were in
readiness to do full justice to the leading
feature of the days programme. Propri-
etor Il. @. Staples of the Seashore has the
reputation of spsring nothing in his din
iog hall service, and the fsb Portlanders
who sat down to this BANQUET can bear
witness that his reputation was fully sus-
tanned. ~
