Boat Carnival at Bryant's Pond.

The boat carnival on Friday night, the
l4th, was the event of the season. Lake
Christopher presented beautiful and
brilliant appearance. Most of the cot
tages around the lake were decorated
and illuminated with Japanese lanterns.
Camp Christopher and Camp COhassett
deserve special praise. The points of
land owned by Wiske and Hall were
lighted with Japanese lanterns, headed
with big w. and H., the former in red
lights, the latter in green. The boat
landing owned by Arthur Kicker was
decorated with lanterns, with the name
of Kicker lighted in fine manner.
The boats, numbering 20 in all, formed
a line in front of the big wharf at the
foot of Pond Street, headed by D. d.
Peverley's steam launch, then slowly
made circuit of the lake, burning color
ed lights and throwing up rockets, max
ing brilliant spectacle which will live
for years in the memory of the many
who witnessed the scene from the shore.
The band, which was stationed on the
big island, was playing through all, and
gave just the finishing touch to the
scene. After the boats passed around
the lake, they were called in by G. L.
Stephens, master of ceremonies, and re-
ceived the prizes which were awarded
by the judges, Mrs. j. l.. Bowker, Miss
Alice Day and Miss Farrar. z. Wiske,
first prize, F. D. Hall second, and Ray
Crockett third.
The boat of Ray Crockett deserves
special mention, as Ray had built a
small house, representing Camp Dewey,
which was lighted and decorated, show
ing lots of labor, and was unique af-
fair. Mr.. Low with his graphophOne
was inside the house, and played many
selections while on the water. Lakeside
Cottage and A. l.. Bolster's house were
decorated and lighted. A silver col
lection was taken on the shore for the
band, amounting to S13.05. Mr.. Munger
OF Camp Cohassett added ten dollar
bill and MIR. Kinsman of Beechmere two
dollars, so the band received S25.O5,
which they very gratefully acknowledge
with thanks.

from that of others, but easily foremost
among them l would place, not ma

existence it used to be known in the
catalogues as "the American system of
interchangeable type bodies" and among
printers rs "the point system" To-day
it is the accepted basis of Typography,
and needs no name.
When l began work at the case, there
were in use various sizes of type bodies,
each having name of its own, as agate,
nonpareil, minion, BREWER, and so on.
The studious printers apprentice, delv.
ing into the literature of the craft, would
learn the historic associations connected
with each of these sizes-when it was
first used and by what "old master" in
the art, thus showing how many hun
dred years it had been in use. These
various sizes of type had no relation one
to another. No, that statement is not
strictly correct, for two nOnpareils made
plea, two pleas double plea, two
double pleas canon, two canons an
eight-line letter, and so on. But of the
sizes of type in most common use there
were nonpareil, minion, BREWER, bour-
geois, long primer and small plea, whose
sizes were absolutely incommensurate

them in combination was ready to swear

II it was necessary or desirable to ust
two sizes of type in combination-and il
often was-the printer was confronted
with one of his incest and most time

Under this system the combination Of

possible to give one who has not had
practical experience as printer any
adequate idea of the results OF the
change. To sum it up, we may say that
twenty-five years ago, type, collectively
considered, was hodge-podge; to-day

have 80 far considered only the mat
ter of type and its form, without going
into details regarding the developments
of the system, or mentioning the many
beautiful faces-and some not beautiful
which are made in series to take the
place of the former comparatively small
| variety. In the line of machinery there
has been no radical change. The neces-
sary machines used to-day are most OF
them of essentially the same type as
those of twenty-five years ago, and no
new process or elaborate piece of mech
anism has revolutionized the work of the
country office. But the improvement in
details of construction has made the
work of the machines greatly more Of
fective and more convenient and COM |
Portable for the operator. The develop
ment of electric power, now used by so
many printing offices, has all been with
in the quarter-century.
The minor appliances and furnishings |
of the printing office-compact, dust
tight cabinets which take the place of
former dust-traps for keeping type and
paper, and the thousand and one other
things necessary in well-fitted estab-
lishment-are vastly ahead of those
which were procurable only few years
since. The manufacturers catalogues
present to the printer the problem, not
how to find what he wants, but when to
stop buying, and it is best for one of
limited means not to cultivate too close
acquaintance with the wareroOms of the
supply houses where there is so much to
tempt him.
Even in such hasty review have car
ried this article beyond its intended
space. but I can not forbear a word re-
garling the old-fashioned printer. This
is an age of specialization and minute
division OF labor. The printing office
cmploye to-day is not often a printer.
He is a linotype operator, an ad COM
positor, cylinder pressman, or some
thing else. He is specialist in his line,
but he knows little about the other
branches of the work. The all-ronnd
printer almost seems to be passing;
even in the country offices the printers
devil is now comparatively rare. But in
spite of changed conditions, the day has
not come, nor is there any prospect of it,
when the old-fashioned country printer,
who can turn his hand to any branch of
the trade, works steadily, and lets rum
alone. ever need be out of job.
