towns being convened by the n. NJ 3 r. Il.
After having it this very short time we
should be very loath to give It up, win an
the comforts and privileges it Includes, 1or
so quickly do we become accustoheu W
luxuries that they become necessities.
Half Moon pond was the scene of some
very exciting sport among the local morse

hibit lots of speed and close finishes. par
ney B. proved trifle fast for Venture, tax
ing three straight heats. A number OF
pretty races were trotted by Silver Spray
and Lady Wilkes, the latter winning easily.
She also made very creditable appearance
against the field finishing even in one heat
with Venture, and with proper handling
March End, the steam lighter Reliance
and dredge outfit arrived to engage IN
dredging operations on the westerly side OF
Cape Jellison pier, similar to the opera
tions lately conducted at Mack's Point
wharf, so that vessels drawing 25 feet of
water can safely dock there at low tide.
The mud is soft, so that vessels could ploW
through it without injury, but as the pig
spOol-WOOd steamers, which draw "A 1eet
Of water, would find this inconvenient, the
managers Of the n. M. S. K. H., are to nave
this mud removed, thus making it PLAIN ana
easy sailing for the deepest crafts. 1t IS
the intention to dredge the whole length OF
the wharf on the westerly side to width
of from 100 to leo feet, thus making ample
room for the largest steamers to come With
out delay or hinderance. The dredgngs
are being deposited along the westerly SIDE
of Sears Island.
The following ladies, Mrs. Grace Lancas-
ter, Miss Evelyn A. Colcord, Miss Nettle
Twiss, Miss Lizzie B. Colcord, Miss Edith
Fletcher, Miss Aida Shute, Miss. Ethel
Colcord, Miss Blanche Berry and Miss
Belle COnery (MrS. Gertrude Lancaster was
unavoidably detained at home) organized
their guild last Saturday afternoon with
the valuable assistance of Mrs. Everett
Staples, Jr., at whose house they. met
Mrs. S. very kindly invited the young ladies
for an afternoon of whist and after talking
over various plans for organizing ana Tor,
warding future church work they INDUCED
in the game, finishing the most enjoyable
occasion with refreshments. The first reg
ular meeting of the society was held with
Miss Evelyn A. Colcord Wednesday after
noon. The young ladies are full of enthu-
siasm and we congratulate them upon thelr
suspicious beginning and feel confident the
Ladies' Aid Society, with which they will
cooperate, will have strong helper in
them. We hope to have much larger dis
play of fancy articles for our next summer
s'sale," as there will be longer time to
prepare the articles, both fancy and useful,
as well as larger force of workers to make
them. The outlook is certainly encourage
ing for the church work and it seems most
fitting that the church should share with all
things else in the material prosperity
which has come and is coming to our vii
lage.
