| BAR HARBOR. June 80. 1900
Within fortnight Bar Harbor will have
been swept and garnished for the arrival
of the summer hosts. Then it will be that
| the social leader will hold most autocratic
| sway over society's obedient subjects and
| the busy men and women of the city will
| seek here regeneration of their wilted and
| persptring energies. 1t is not to be sup
posed that Bar Harbor is at all dull be-
| cause the season is not yet opened In fact,
| there Is more life here than is usually the
| case The cottagers are down in large num-
pers, and In a small way there has been
| Considerable entertaining. Indications point
! 10 prosperous summer. We are to have
i visits from the North Atlantic squadron
! Whlch is incidentally the greatest joy Bar
Harbor knows; a visit probably from the
] English fleet at Halifax. under the COM
mand of Admiral Bedford; a society horse
snow country fair, a series Of yachting
reSattas, automobile races and paratles
and golfng season filed with interesting
events This is sufficient to encourage the
! fondest hopes for foolishly gay summer
Visit of the Naval Vessels
Naturally, the most important event is
| the visit of the warships. The North At
| lantic squadron will arrive here about the
| 18th of August, and We shall expect it to
remain several days. Their stay is a great
| impetus to entertaining. Everybody be-
most of the sailors on shore leave get drunk
| and cause disturbances, and the week winds
/ up with fish-hause punch aboard the flag
ship, which makes everybody happy Then
the squadron sails away and the summer
girl goes and pounds the gutta percha off a
golf ball.
Following the visit of the North Ameri-
can squadron. Admiral Bedford is expected
to bring his jackes here, and society Will
endeavor to show our English cousins how
| very agreeable We can be under pressure.

in all probability he will not be able TO
reach here before September l. This is all
the more satisfactory. for it will urag tho
season out to a pleasant finish.
