w. e. O. Notes.

On these hot fall days when the blue
haze is on the hills and the green of
the tree tops is splashed with red and
yellow, good many people are avail
irS themselves of the chance for q cool
r.dc over the Waterville & Oakland
Road. The summer theatre is closed
for the season and is being made ready
for the winter, but would doubtless
have been kept open longer if there
had been any hint of the kind of wealth
or that was coming about this time.
The stone crusher is being run full
blast and is covering everything in it's
immediate vicinity with the fine gray
dust. The ballasting is we'll along and
will doubtless be completed before the
ground freezes. 1t is now practically
completed from the main turnout on
the hill into Oakland and spots have
been finished this side of the turnout
II makes fine road bed and the cars
ride very smoothly over it where it has
been completed. All of the rock is be
ing obtained near the crusher and the
fields in that vicinity will be pretty
well cleared when the work is complet-
ed.
The poles along the line have all been
painted a dark green, almost black
green in fact. The trees are just be-
ginning to turn and promise to be very
beautiful a little later.

Of relieving Sir Thomas Upton of en-

me to be the guest of the club at its
annual banquet and he accepted with
the distinct understanding that 1t was
not to be large formal function but
simply the annual banquet of the CLUB

Thomas LiptOn's name was not men
toned. nor that of any other gentle

bar Sir Thomas Upton or any one else
from the dinner, 1 take pleasure In Civ
ing to the press the following letter

1.-The President directs me to say that
it will be a particular pleasure to him
if Sir Thomas Upton can come to the
Seawanhaka dinner. AS you Will re-
call all that the President said when
the invitation was asked to hlm was
that he did not feel like accepting any
more invitations to formal functions;
that if it was simply to be a neighbor-
hood dinner among his own friends in
the Seawanhaka Club he would gladly
come. The President has a particular
ly high regard for Sir Thomas Upton
and a high reputation Of the manly and
sportsmanlike spirit he ha" shown
throughout the yacht contests. Inc
President earnestly desires that Sill
Thomas be present at the dinner.
Very Truly Yours.
