The Sun Obscured by Smoke.

There has been nothing like Wednes-
day afternoon since the famous day in
1881, as the sun was almost entirely
obscured by smoke, looking much as it
does through IL piece of we'll smoked
glass. 1t seemed as if the air was full
of smoke and that there must be Il
very large fire but short distance
away but none could be located. The
appearance of everything and the re-
ports of fires in all directions made
everyone nervous and the work of the
fire department during the afternoon
was very much appreciated. At
o'clock the air seemed to be full of
smoke as if half the city was burning
This doubtless came from the big forest
| fires now burning in various sections
| of the State.

orchestra and is expected to be very
fine as usual. A concert will be given
from to 8, followed by the dancing.
The patronesses will be Mrs. George
X. Boutelle, Mrs. w. H. X. Abbott,
Mrs. II. d. Eaton and Mrs. Percival.
These prOmenades are held every
year by the junior class at Colby and
have always been very pleasing affairs.
For the last few years they have been
held in Fairfield as there were better
accommodations there but it will be
held here, this year, as the Armory is
now Il fine place for such an affair.
There will doubtless be a large at
tendance of friends of the class and
college and from the student body.
