Bar Harbor's second season is on and its
summer colony has settled down for quiet
and restful September. varied by some quiet
entertaining and great deal of outdoor
life and enjoyment of the bracing winds
and falling leaves. The summer season
closes officially with the end of horse show
week, and thereupon those birds of pas
sage, the hotel guests, commence their mi
grafton back to the city.

OF the month, and even later. will do much
to lengthen and enliven the fall season

an example this fall which might we'll be
adopted by others of the summer colony

public, and all are free to visit the beau

the hennedys' generous act, and it is prob
able that another season several of the

been to mingle with the common crowd
and pay final and farewell visit to the
famous old Rodick House, whose contents
have been going under the hammer Of the
auctioneer. Society, young old and middle
aged, has assembled the steps Of the famous
old hotel. which was the life Of Bar Harbor

through the halls of the old building whose
doors have not been open for ten years.
All the furnishings have been sold at auc-
ticn this week, and the demolition of the
old house will be begun as soon as the
auctioneer is through with his task.

Dor, both resident and nonresident popula-
ton, sees the historic old structure go into
the hands Of the wreckers. The Rodick
House was Names pioneer hotel, and from
