Loving Cup for MIR. Rumsey The
Horse show.


Up to date there are abS,ut seventy-five
entries on the seeretary's books of the
horse show. This is more than one-third
OF the total amount Of entries received
last year. There is every reason to be-
held in Bar Harbor. Thirty-six out Of
the thirty-eight boxes have been sold,
nearly all the coach stands, and about
sixty reserved seats.
For the running RACKS TO be held during
the horse show, six entries have. been re-
ceived, and there will be a great many
more. The running races will be such as
satisfactorily to replace the trotting
which is eliminated from the programme

The old sdage that nisfortunes never
ings ago, says our West Franklin corre-
spondent. We viii call no names, viii just
say it was not the man who invented teIeg-
raphy. He went to put big candy pail
OF water into his horses crib when his
feet went skyward with lightning-liIze
rapidity. His back struck solidly in the
aecumnlations of the stall, the water COM
pletely drenching him. In falling he hurt
one of his thumbs severely, which caused
him to feel faint. He crawled into the
house, his wife changed his clothes and
he laid down to reeuperate. In taking his
first bath he wet one of his stockings.
Feeling better, he drew up to the kitchen
stove, placing his heel upon its edge, and
stretching back in chair. Presently his
heel slipped from the edge of the stove,
the chair shot forward, his feet struck a
large kettle OF boiIing-hot water, upset
ting it, Thinking that hot bath taken
so soon after cold one would not be
beneficial TO his health, some smart
serambling was necessary to avoid it. In
50 doing he upset euspidor, the con-
tents covering something less than a
quarter of an acre of floor space. His wife,
hastily grabbing the broom and glancing
out OF the window at huge boulder
weighing hundred tons, said: '.You
get out Of here; go lie down beside that
rock. ! have been wanting that upset for
long time.n When last heard from he
was finishing an extra COW stall.

Az interesting communication to
the navy department has come from
Lieut.. Kaiser, in charge of the wire
less apparatus on board of the Brook
lyn, when she brought home Paul
Jones' body from France. He states
that the Brooklyn's wireless installa-
tion sent and received message
while at sea from a distance of 1,100
miles. The message came so strong
that it is quite evident that it could
have been received at a considerably
greater distance. During the same
voyage signals we're observed up to a
distance of 1,7o0 miles.

1t was with rare diplomacy, and

The sixth public performance Of the Bar
Hsrbor choral society was held last cven-
ing at the Casino, which was crowded with
a distinguished and appreeistive audience.
In every way il was a success = musically,
socially, financially. The chorus OF about
eighty voices sang with brillianey and pre-
eision, rejecting credit not only upon it
self, but also upon its rnssterfnl conductor,
Maurice c. Rumsey.
The soloists were Nine. Bertha sfariuon-
Force, soprano, Theodore Van YORK,
tenor, Frank Cr6xton, bass. At the piano
was Miss Ina NJ. Guptiil. A feature Of the
occasion was the orchestra twenty-five
members OF the Boston symphony orches-
ira, and their splendid work Of course en-
HANGED the enjoyment of the occasion.
The first two parts OF HRydl's oratorio,
The Creation, were sung. The first num-
ber Of part II was composition, s.The
Lord is my shepherd" by CORTLAND
Palmer, who conducted. II was sung
without accompaniment, and was enthusi-
asticaliy received.
An event not down on the programme
was the presentation to Mr. Rumsey OF a
loving cup in appreciation Of his untiring
efforts in behalf of music in Bar Harbor.
A graceful speech was made by Bishop
William Lawrence. OF Massachusetts. who
handed the cup to Mr.. Mhitmore, prcsi-
dent Of the society, who, in turn, pre-
sented it to Mr.. Rumsey.

The work of investigation in the
department of agriculture has halted
temporarily, the grand jury taking a
recess and apparently awaiting the
return of Statistician Hyde from
England. 1t is not known just what
testimony he may be able to give in
connection with the investigation
now going on in the department, but
it is believed to be important, and it is
known that Secretary Wilson urged
him strongly to return at once and
lend his aid to the department in
probing the Irregularities and thus
clear himself of any suspicion OF
completely in the wrong doing.
Secretary Wilson has announced HIM
self that he is not going to take any
vacation this summer, but viii stay
at home and work on the investiga-
ton in his department. He is deter
mined that everything shall have a
thorough airing that needs it.

The famous old schooner Polly, built in
1906, which has filled columns of space in
newspapers all over the world, and
promises to fill many more before her old
bones bleach, is now Hancock county
craft. Capt. Edward Blastow, of Little
Deer Isle, has just purchased the Polly of
Capt George Rsan, of Belfast. The story
most frequently told about the Polly is of
her capture in the war OF 1912 by the
British, when she had cargo Of rum and
corn on board. The Yankee crew was put
in irons and the prize crew aboard
broached the cargo and proceeded to get
joyously drunk on the same. One of the
crew then got loose and freed his com
panions. They reeaptured the little yes
sci and sailed triumphantly into Portland
with the prize-crew in irons.

The navy department is congratu-
lating itself on the record made by
the armored cruiser Pennsylvania,
which broke the record for armored
vessels by doing trial with regular
crew on board at rate of 22.s knots.
This makes her not only the.fastest
armored vessel in the navy, but the
first time that a vessel in the navy has
beaten her builders trial with a
regular crew. The speed of the

| BLuEHiLL, Aug. 5 (speciai1 The event
of the season was the mneh-tsliSed-os con-
cert OF the Rneisel qnartette which was
given last evening in the town hail.
1t was success in every way. The town
hall-itself an ornament and credit to the

audience made up Of both summer visitors
! and towns people. with a generous sprink-
| ling Of music-iovers from nearby towns.
| The stage was tastefuliy decorated for
the occasion with small cedars and run
| ming vines, and made a picturesque back
ground.
A most interesting feature of the pro-
| gramme mot common herea bouts was
| the explanatory remarks preceding each OF
the two parts by II. Y. krehbiel, the
musical editor OF the New York Tribune
In most delightful and informal manner.
Mr.. Krehbiel talked about the composers
whose works were about 10 be played;
told what chamber music is its origin
and development; why a quartette is
divided into movements, and what
Instruments, telling lots of interesting
things about them that it is safe to say
lots OF people didn't know.
Mr.. Krehbiel told so much that is worth
knowing that 1t seems almost ungrateful
TO express regret that he hadn't told some
thing about the individuals whose won
derful playing held the audience spell
bound.
OF the Performance itself the writer will
say little partly because sufficient space
adequately to describe ii is not available,
and partly because he couldn't adequately
describe il if he had all the space neces-
sary.
Suffice it to say the entire programme
was keenly enjoyed. Tha players told
with their instruments the music-stories
just as Mr.. krehbiei said they should, and
the memory OF them viii linger long in
the minds of the hearers.
The proceeds OF the concert are TO he
used in improving the highway between
the village Of Bluehill and Parker Point
where most of the summer cottages are
located.

Considerable salk has been made
over the alleged refusal of President
Roosevelt to participate in the coming
reciprocity congress. This is based
almost entirely on either misappre-
hension or distortion of facts. The
Presidents views on reciprocity are
well known, and the same views were
held by Mckinley and before him by
Blaine. Capital is now being made
out OF the statement. that the ad-
ministration is against the reciprocity
congress, and that its Indifference has
become matter of .aotive hostility.
This 10 not true. The President at
Oyster Bay has had his hands full
recently with both the peace envoys
and the troubles in the agricultural
department. But be has made time

The Bar Harbor Record has opened its
columns to a discussion of the auto
terrors as applied TO the question whether
or not the automobile should be per-
mitted on the streets of Eden. Under the
present town ordinance, they are pro-
hibited, though some staunch advocates
of the auto have threatened to test the
eonstitutionality OF the law. The ex-
perience of Ellsworth has been that of
every other town and city horses, at first
alarmed at the sight of the auto, soon
become accustomed TO it. 1t is case Of
familiarity breeding contempt. With
ordinary caution ON the part of the auto
lists and drivers, accidents should not
occur. The auto seems to have come to
stay, and whether now, year from now,
or ten years hence, some day it viii be as
common on the streets Of Bar Harbor as
are the handsome turn-outs of to-day.
An auto-less Eden as a permanent thing
is an impossibility.
