A fortnight ago Archbishop Farley con-
secrated the beautiful chapel at Tivoli
on the Hudson. which was built as me-
mortal TO the late Mrs Johnston Livings-
ton, by her daughters, Mrs. Redmond
and the Marquise de Laugier Villars.
This is the Catholic branch of the Liv
ingston family. Mrs. Johnston Livings-
ton was descended from old French stock
and her family were noble refugees after
the reign of terror When the famous
centennial quadrille was arranged at the
Columbian ball, 1t was Miss Garcia Liv-
ngston, now the Marqulse de Laugier

Harbor. The Marquise was here for
quite time last winter while her father
was so ILL., She and Mrs. Redmond have
made many handsome gifts to the Catho-
lie church.
Bar Harbor has been unusually gay
for so early in the season, owing prin-
cipally to the visit of the British squad
ron under Vice-Admral Archibald Dou-
glas. The 1otilla, which comprised three
war ships, was augmented by the United
States battleship Texas. which was sent
there to extend an official welcome to
the British officers. These ceremonies in
cluded the customary naval courtesies
tween the commanders OF the ships the
reception rendered by the representatives
of the Governor of Maine and the speech
of welcome by Major General Farnum
The Bar Harbor citizens committee,
headed by Rear Admiral Upshur, also
took part In the greetings. After the
official reception the cottagers We'd with
each other in their efforts to make the
stay of the visiting squadron as agreea-
BILE as possible. Bar Harbor's social cal
endar promises to be unusually well filed
this season, for from now on are planned
various events of a semi-publlc eharac-
ter, including the visit of the North At
lantic squadron which is expected to
rendezvous in Frenchmen's Bay on July
q. The dinner dances at the Kebo Valley
club. which began last night, will con-
tinue through the summer.
The intense heat Of the last week has
driven many people from their homes
along the Hudson and the nearby resorts.
