The Woman's Club Lawn Party.

Seldom has the social spirit of our
town been made more manifest than at
the garden party given by the Woman's
Club Thursday afternoon at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. George M. Gray on
Main street. The house and grounds were
elaborately decorated with bunting and
evergreens, forming fitting background
to the spacious lawn, about which were
scattered small tables daintily trimmed
with roses.
The hours from five to eight were
spent in greetings between club members
and guests. Several members of the
Seventy Club were present; also good
representation Of gentlemen. Many old
time residents of St. Johnsbury found
this an occasion to renew "auld syne"
acquaintance. The company was served
to ice cream and cake and at side table
delicious punch was in waiting. The Or
Ghsstga masd most S tgs tgs4sE9HS 49 u Yth sp1 its

ceived by Mrs. Florence Stafford, presi-
dent of the club, Mrs. Katie Gray, host
ess, Mrs. Ellen Cross, chairman of the
social committee, Mrs. Belle Fletcher
and Mrs. Mary Mackinnon, vice-presi.

Fish and Game Banquet.

The mere mention OF banquet at
Hale's Tavern at Wells River suggests a
feast we'll cooked and we'll spread and
the eighth annual dinner of the Wells
River Fish and Game League was as fine
dinner as has ever been served at that
famous hostelry. A few st. Johnsbury
people were fortunate enough to be
among the invited guests at this function
which was held on Friday evening, the
party including Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Dins-
more, I. G. Jones, Charles A. Calderwood
and Arthur F. Stone.
Dinner was served at 8 O'Clock and
over 60 ladies and gentlemen marched
into the dining room and did full justice
to the game dinner whose menu included
such delicacies as Penobscot river
salmon, blue fish, mackerel, brook, rain
bow and lake trout, land.locked salmon,
salt water perch and frogs legs, together
with chicken, turkey, vegetables and the
usual line of desserts.
John Bailey, the president of the club,
raped to order at $50 and introduced
H. T. Baldwin as the toastmaster Of the
evening. The latter gracefully welcomed
the guests, members of the club and the
ladies, and called upon Cashier Bailey as
the first speaker. Mr.. Bailey spoke of
the splendid outfit the club had in its
preserves in the south part of the town
and made a strong plea for more out
door life and closer sympathy with ma
ture.
Mr.. Brock followed with a vigorous
plea for the six inch trout law, and Mr.
Stone urged that more attention be paid
to the preservation of our forests and
the planting of trees. He also gave the
epitaph on Walton's grave at Winchester
cathedral in England.
Editor Whitcher of the Woodsville
News followed with bright speech in
which he referred to northern New Eng
land as the great park Of America and
said its attractions had never been ap-
preciated. He spoke of the great value
his native state of Maine had been to
sportsmen and hoped Vermont and New
Hampshire would continue to advertise
their summer resorts and their fishing
and hunting grounds.
6. E. Randall described his part in pro-
scouting seine fishing in Lake Champlain
and how be had the legislature pass the
first law to prevent this practice. W.
H. Buck, the secretary Of the club, spoke
somewhat in the line of Mr.. Bailey's plea
and welcomed the ladies to the gather
ing, saying that some of the ladies had
already proved excellent fishermen.
DR.. Eastman OF Woodsville expressed
his thanks at Ueing an iuriLcu & uesL and
-~ne clad q be considered as one of the
fishermen.
A. H. Dinsmore was the last speaker
and entertained the audience by relating
stories Of the old guides of Moosehead
lake. After the people left the dining
room they went into the parlors of the
hotel tor a social hour.
The Wells River Fish and Game Club
is composed of about score of members
from the village, J. W. Titcomb and A. H.
Dinsmore from st. Johnsbury, Congress
man Grout and Admiral Dewey. Their
preserves are as fine as any in the state
and they are we'll stocked with growing
trout. The eighth annual gathering
was one of the social events of the sea-
son and the most successful the club has
ever held.

Asisqwa Camp.

A writer in the American Woodman
has the following to say about the camp
recently established in st. Johnsbury:
"a century ago or more, there lived in
northern Vermont, away up near the
Canadian line, noted killer Of moose,
who was known far and wide for his
energy and power. 1t was said he never
knew defeat, and that his enemies knew
that when his banner was seen on the
hillside or in the valley it meant victory.
A short time ago Woodman looking
for material for log-pile happened to
stray along the trail that led to the
ancient hunting grounds of Asisqwa. He
thought that here in the valley, on the
green banks of the placid Moose river,
the Woodmans axe should be heard,
and although many men of fraternal
minds shook their heads and said that
the thirty or more societies now here
were covering the ground, and another
could not be organized, the undaunted
Woodman, and with the spirit and cour-
of Asisqwa of old, ground up his axe and
began to clear the forest and pile up the
logs. The result was that on May 81
Assqwa Camp, 8149, was organized at
st. Johnsbury with thirty or more men,
bers, and the doubling ones were aston
ished when told that more than fifty
have signed the charter application.
The boys have engaged room for club
purposes and Chiet Forester is select
ing a team of sturdy toresters. State
Deputy A. O. Palmer came up and helped
institute. Next year when State Lee
turer Farrow makes that pretty presen-
tation speech about the banner and the
largest camp, he will be talking to st.
Iohnsbury Woodmen."

The Late George w. Butler.

Portsmouth, N. H., paper gives
sketch of the late George W. Butler,
whose death was chroncled in last weeks
CALIFORNIAN.
He was born in St. Johnsbury, Nov.
7, 1924, and he was the eldest son Of
the late Jefferson and Ruth Butler, the
two other brothers, Lafayette and
Jerome c., dying in Portsmouth few
years since.
The subject of this sketch moved to
Portsmouth many years ago, and dur
ing the Franklin Pierce administration
he was clerk to Hon. John R. Reding who
was naval storekeeper at the navy yard
in 1856.
In November, 1874, Mr.. Butler accept
ed clerkship in the Mechanics & Ira
ders' bank, and held it until October,
1871, when he was chosen cashier there
of and resigned in April, 1880. He oc-
cupied the position with signal ability.
He was twice married and on Decem-
ber 81, 1869, his second union took
place, this time to Miss Ellen McClary
Reding of Haverhill, N. H., daughter Of
Sylvester and Ellen Reding, and niece
of the late Hon. John R. Reding, who
was one of Portsmouth's mayors. The
estimable wife and a daughter, Miss
Alice R., survive the devoted husband
and father.
Mr.. Butler was a gentleman of most
estimable qualities; of quiet, retiring
disposition, and who never obtruded
himself on Others. He left noble re-
cord for family, kindred and friends, and
his memory will be ever hallowed. The
sympathies of the community are with
the widow and daughter in their over
shadowing grief.
