Deep public concern centres in the
affairs OF Sorrento, for the place has
always been peculiar as compared with
other Frenehman's Bay resorts, being, as
it was, blessed with never a want for i'm.
provements during the life of Frank
Jones, its founder.
The rise OF Sorrento also brings to
mind the name OF W. II. Lawrence, W he
for fifteen years was the practical man at
the head of everything that concerned
Sorrento. Mr.. Lawrence, 1t Is said, drew
the attention OF Mr.. Jones while at work
with his father when building the Mt.
Desert Ferry wharf and buildings.
Later he was commissioned as general
manager OF Sorrento, and under his direct
supervision the resort gained the prom
inence 1t has acquired. The death of Mr..
Jones and the withdrawal OF Mr.. Law
renee are likely materially to change tn
situation at Sorrento.
The probabilities are that nothing
special will take place OF her than that the
hotel will be conducted under the m IN
agement OF the widow OF the former pro-
prletor, Mr.. hlsteen, OF Boston, VINO holds
five-yesr lease OF the house. The cot
tagers will be there as usual, and Leslie
Havey will act as postmaster, express and
freight clerk and telephone operator.
1t is expected that Linley Wilbur will
be retained as local engineer in charge oil
the water line, the electric light plant and
the steam heating apparatus.
The roads have been put in fine condi-
tion by the street commissioner. AS re-
CARDS the land company business, 1t Ii
said that no active promoting will be
done until the Jones interest has been
sold or arranged. The big wharf is being
boarded over lengthwise to make better
surface for trucking and walking.
Mr.. Lawrence is expected here this
week; also the new resident superin.

FACTS FOR THE FANS.

The new ball team showed UP in
manner yesterday that would suit the
most exacting fan. If this aggregation
can only keep up the fast lick it cut out
yesterday from the start. Salt Lake
need not be ashamed of the club that
will represent it in all the big cities Of
the northwest. The score was One-sidcd,
but the fans can forgive this as long
as the big end IS in favor of the home
team, for say what you may. it is the
home team winning that pleases the
fans. Pitcher Quick was the stumbling
block for the Senators. and notwith-
bruised digit. due from the result of
handling a fast hit ball last Tuesday. he
did great work yesterday. Not only was
the local teams fielding OF the highest
order. but the Senators proved them
