at hand with the dawn of the

vacation, and vacation in its turn
is always allied with the pleasures
that characterize the summer

and the charm of its hospitality
was in keeping with the note wor-
thy entertainments that have CEN
tered around the Harrison home
in the past. Decorations of n.y.
drangeas prevailed in the draw
ing room, and were used with
particularly happy result in the
dining room, where covers were
laid for ten. Here the center
piece of the massive table was a
great silver loving cup filled vii h
blue and white hydrangeas, and
amid the CLEAN of cut glass and
silver, especially interesting to
the lover of the antique were the
old fashioned silver goblets at the
individual plates. Seven courses

the Vigilant could have sent her TO

they crossed the boundary line and

More than 30 shots struck the yes

The Barnhurst. according TO Captain
Easel. was about five miles over the
line. drawing nets, when the Vigilant
appeared. The other Erie tugs, the
Alma. Valiant and the Boyd. were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunn or
dered the Barnhurst to stop, but In
stead Of doing so Captain Easel put
on full steam and started for the line.
He took a southwesterly direction and
could not be headed by the Vigilant
1t has become quite the custom for
the Erie fishermen to cross the line
