dinner at the Lancy House, Pittsfield. They

up the lake by steamer Comet 20 miles to

The next morning the party started out to
climb the mountain, and Messrs. Parker,

summit, 900 feet above the hotel, but at
point from which they could throw stone
into the lake below. In the afternoon the
party took blackboard ride of 20 miles to
the Deer Head Farm, the source of supply
for the Kineo House for game, vegetables,
etc. The evening was pleasantly spent
about the hotel with music, cards, etc.
Thursday morning the party left for home
at $780, partaking of the closing meal OF the
hotel for the season. Word was telephoned
to Roy Libby of Burnham to prepare to feed
a hungry crowd, and when the train arrived
there he had dinner ready that showed
him to be equal to an emergency on short
notice. The eXcursionists arrived home ON
the p. m. train, all voting Orrln to be a
success as an excursion manager. Mr..
