VACANCIES FILLED.
Local Old Home Week Association AGAIN
Placed on a Working Basis.

The local Old Home Week Associa-
tion was reorganized. last evening. The
members met in the aldermen's room
in the City building, a good represen-
tatiOn being present. The meeting was
called to order by {. +. Burleigh, pres
idcnt of the Board of Trade Hon. $.
w. Matthews. who has been tireless in
his efforts to have the local association
formed. spoke of what had been done
in other cities in the State and of tht.
number formed and the work done
Major c. J. House also furnished facts
and figures To show what had been
done.
After the matter had been discussed
Walter ID. Stinson was elected presi-
dent: J.. Clair Minot, vice president;
and Mrs. c. c. Hunt a member of the
executive committee.
After the form Of the celebration had
been talked over the method of OBJ
servance in one of the New Hampshire
towns was outlined. There the people
held an Informal reception in the town
hall and a luncheon prepared by tn"
ladies' was served. Short addresses of
welcome We're made, after which old
neiShbors and friends mingled together
socially. In this manner the people
who had returned to the town Were
given an opportunity to meet their
old friends. There was nothing formal
but everything passed off in very
pleasant manner.
This plan of celebration seemed to
meet with considerable favor. The de
cision of all details. however. will he
left with the local old Hom" Associa
tion. With the officers chosen there
seems to be not tho slightest reason
why the city should not give the visi
tors a welcome on Old Home Week,
which even if il be not attended with
expensive or elaborate functions will
least be cordial and sincere.

The New Park.

Nature is full Of surprises and
though the new Crescent park lately
laid out by the Augusta, HalloweIl &
Gardiner electric road, may be one of
the least of the surprises, nevertheless
the multitudeS who have so many
times passed within few rods Of thi;
natural little amphitheater. will be
surprised when they see how perfectly
it is adapted to the present purpose.
The precipitous sides. the crescent
shape. the tiny stream Of spring water
now damned and enlarged into i
pretty little pond with the beautiful
and abundant shade trees and the
well-arranged seats all combine to
make this quiet retreat quite gem in
its way. Supt. Taylor is ambitious to
make this free pleasure resort where
families and all well-disposed people
can rest and enjoy the band music.
He also wishes it understood that the
rough element or those who are in
clned to drink and become noisy on
such ccasions. are not desired
neither will they be toIerated for from
the first, perfect order will be en-
forced if necessary. though il is hoped
that all will 50 appreciate this pleas
uie resort WHICH Is u ne Tree IHdt
they will feel like keeping it so order
ly that the ladies will delight in visit
ing it often in the afternoons. and al
lowing their children to romp and
play to their hearts content. OF
course the first concert, Sunday after
noon, will find things crude and but
partially planned even. though all will
no doubt be delighted 10 see the oppor-
tunity nature has provided for the
making of quite an extensive park. If
the people encourage and take to the
idea. For quite distance back of
the amphitheater the grounds and
trees will be found well adapted 10
park purposes and time will develop
to what extent they may be appro-
priated for the health and enjoyment
OF the three cities.
