AMUSEM ENTS.
1.-THE Trolley Party"

Richard p. Crolius, who is coming to
Island Park, for a weeks engagement,
commencing Monday, July II. in THE
Trolley Party which manager Joseph
J. Flynn will present by special ar
rangement with Weber & Field, tells a
new story of a proverbial joke. The
victim of this Jest was spending the
day in New York, and dropped into a
fashionable restaurant for lunch. He
selected very good meal, but after he
had eaten it, found some trouble in de-
Gliding upon a dessert. At last he or
dered Charlotte Russo, although his
pronunciation of the word was posi-
tive proof that he had never heard of
the dainty before. When the waiter
brought in the frothy confection, he
looked at it, then at the waiter, and
finally beckOned to that individual to
come to him. Drawing the mans ear
down to the level of his lips, he whis-
pered, Say, l want to eat. you know
not to shave" The waiter explained
that the little white paper cup was
not shaving mug. and the Charlotte
Russo followed the rest of the dinner.

reason of meeting an automobile. Mr.
Hewins was. coming down the street

horse which Mr.. Hewins was drivine
was a green. one. and. not liking the
sight of the; machine. or the sound
that it wass making. began at once IN
endeavor to- get as far away from II

A Boat Tour to Jersey Coast.

The time has come when even the
most dilatory can no longer postpone
their flight to the beaches or suburban
resorts. 1t IS now that people have
nothing but good to say of New Jersey
as they seek sanctuary from the
terrors of the ''man-stifed town.
Once on the swift Sandy Hook boat and
every discomfort of the over-heated
city is left behind. Atlantic Highlands,
an imposing bluff forming the northern
end of the Highlands Of Navesink, is
about an hours sail from New York
There Is splendid anchorage which is
always alive with craft from one end
of the season TO the other. The New
York Yacht Club has a sub-station here
and 1t is the home of the Pavonia Yacht
Club. From the Highlands there is an
extensive view in all directions. Sandy
Hook points toward the north like an
index finger. with it's lighthouse, life
saving and signal stations, fort and
barracks. The NarrOws are plainly
observable and the sandy shore Of Long
Island stretching east. The blue hills
of Staten Island are seen to end
abruptly at Raritan Bay. Toward the
south lies IA fertile farming country.
prettily divided by streams and marked
with groves. The resorts along the
shore run the gamut of all attractions
so that to the fastidious it is only a
matter of a short search to find the
hearts desire. There are romantic
scrambles over the hills; beautiful
drives through the back country; still
water bathing from the long piers, and
fishing and yachting. Transient visit
ors and tourists may choose their
quarters from among hundreds of
well-kept hotels. There is an all rail
line to the Jersey coast besides the
| Sandy Hook route. Upon application
to G. NJ. Burt, General Passenger
Agent, Central Railroad Of New Jersey,
New York, a hotel book and sea-shore
time table will be sent free to any ad-
dress.

A party Of IS Italians were in the
city, yesterday forenoon, in very dis
satisfied frame Of mind. because Of an
experience which had been theirs
through coming to Maine. 1t seems
that they had arrived in the city,
Wednesday. having come from Boston
i'm response to an offer from one of
the men working on the pipe line. On
arriving at the scene Of operations,
however, they found that the pay was
not what they had expected that it
would be. and they decided not to take
the job. The man who got them to
come to Augusta was not the one who
has the contract for hiring the men
to work in the trench, the men came
in town, yesterday morning, and re-
turned to Boston, later in the day.

An amusing incident occurred In one
Of. the stores on Water street. the other
day. A lady came in and inquired OF
the proprietor if he had any souvenir
postal cards with Augusta views upon
them. She was shown an assortment
with the different points, of interest
about the city on them. but they did
not suit her. and she inquired If the
man did rot have some with marine
views upon them. The proprietor re-
piled in tie negative. but said that he
had some with views of the river
front, and of CObbosseecontee lake,
which he showed to her. but they did
not suit. and che left the store. to con-
tinue her search for marine views OF
Augusta in other places. Just what
she wanted, the dealer has not vet as
certained. but he is convinced that the
fair hunter after souvenir cards that
bear anything Of a marine" nature
pertaining to this city is in for hope
less quest.
