Miss L. G. Colburne received letter last
week from her sister, Miss Clara Colburne,
who is spending the summer abroad. She
has been stopping in Ireland and writes
that her stay there has been most delight
full. Among the interesting places visited
were Londonderry, Giants Causeway, Dub
lin, the lakes Of Killarney and Muchross
Abbey. This abbey was founded more
than six hundred years ago, and although
in ruins, presents most picturesque ap-
pearance, the walls being covered with ivy
and climbing roses. Miss Co1burne also
visited st. Patrick's church in Dublin.
This church is over one Thousand years old
and the we'll is still there where st. Patrick
used to baptize his converts. Dean Swift
had this church for many years and is bur
led in the chancel.
Mr.. E. E. Webster left last Friday night
for San Francisco where he will take the
steamer July 23d for Manila. We have
made arrangements with Mr.. Webster
of letters describing his trip to the islands,
the conditions there, and the interesting
points which he will visit. The govern
ment is planning trip to Japan for the
teachers during their vacation which will
doubtless be taken by Mr.. Webster and
description of which which viii be of in
terest to all readers Of this paper. While
in college Mr.. Webster was one of the
editors of the college journal and is an ex-
cellent writer. His articles will be written
in spicy manner and will be of great in
terest to all. AS it will take at least one
month for him to reach Manila and an
equal time for letter to reach us from
there it will be some time before the first
of the articles will be published.
Mr.. Arthur s. Drew and Miss Ida R.
Ruggles were married at the home of the
BRIDES mother, Mrs. Margaret Ruggles,
last Tuesday evening. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. r. L. Sheaff, the ring
service being used. Only a small company
of the nearest relatives of the bride and
groom were present. The bride wore
dainty gown of pale blue silk with trim
mings of white chiffon and silver gimp.
The rooms were tastefUlly decorated with
palms, ported plants and cut flowers. Re-
freshments of cake and ice cream were
served, after which the newly welded pair

here. Mr.. and Mrs. Drew have resided in
this village from childhood and have
large circle of friends who extend congrat-
uIatiOns and wish them a long and happy

We are in receipt of letter signed IAN
Observer commenting on the celebration
held here July 18th. Had the writer given
US his name it would have been withheld
if ne had so requested and his article would
have been published. However we viii
state that the writer expresses himself as
being much pleased with the many i'm
provements which have been made on the
grounds, and also with the method Of
conducting the grand stand with its all
day ticket costing but twenty-five cents
and return checks for all who wish TO
leave the stand at any time. He also men
tions the toilet rooms as being highly APP
preciated by visitors The writer then
points out some of the defects. in W hich |
ne mentions the dining hall which he |
states was gotten up in al attractive man |
ner and in which good and wholesome food |
was served, but the hall is in need of i'm |
1t should be arranged |
with a ticket stand some distance from |
the hall. To avoid the stampede which &C.
Cured at the entrance door there should |
be another opening for those Who are pass |
ing out of the building, with broad doors |
at each opening. Meals should be served |
from TO e. n. till p. m. with 2 sufficient |
number of walters to look after the wants |
Of the people and avoid OBTAINING them an
unusual length of time. These suggestions |
appear to be good ones and we have no
doubt the management has seen the Deces-
sity for some changes which will very like
~ be made in the near future.
The baseball team was defeated at Hard
wick last Saturday by a score of 40. Both
teams played an excellent game. The
visitors lost in the sixth inning by three
costly errors. The three double plays by
the Barton boys were among the features
Of the game. The umpiring was satisfac-
-Ory to both teams.
