Old Home Week was observed in a very

other distinguished persons arrived from
st. Johnsbury, where they had been enter
tanned, Tuesday noon. After dinner,
which was served at the Memphremagog
House, teams were brought out and all
interesting points outside the village. On
the return, many were treated to ride in
the little naphtha Launches on the lake.
The evening was a brilliant one at the
Memphremagog House parlors, where a
most delightful reception was given.
Refreshments were served, after which
many distinguished guests spoke, includ-
ing Ex- Lieut.. Gov. Mansur and Judge
Alfred OF this place. The parlors were
very tastefully decorated with the state
flower, clover, and golden-rod. Wednes-
day morning the Lady of the Lake was at
the disposal OF guests and townspeople;
the morning was beautiful and a crowd
took advantage of the trip to Georgevilie
and return. The party left on the noon
trains, exclaiming over their pleasures
during the stay, and the courtesy received
at the hands of the townspeople. The
pleasure was not all theirs, for the home
people feel well paid for the efforts put
forth, in the privilege of meeting such a
pleasant party of people. Thus all had
reason to remember pleasantly Old Home
Week.
