Wardens on the Lookout
for Short HOLSTERS.
Everything Is Lively Now at
the Popular Resort.
Many Augusta People Among Those
Now al The Cottages.

Ocean Point, Me-, July 3O-(SpeciaD.--
This resort was visited several times
last week by lobster deputies" and
several fishermen were overhauled and
their boats searched for short Holsters.
Thomas Hatchett was caught several
days ago with n number of shorts in
his possession and taken to Boothbay
where he settled with the commissioner
at that place. The wardens this year
are strangers ana the fishermen are
unacqnainted with them, and it is said
that al fishermen will throw overheard
whatever shorts they may have in their
boats on the appearance of a strange
or suspicious looking craft. The
wardenS patrol the waters in small but
very speedy gasolcne boats. and last
week paid a visit to the Point daily.
To the credit of the fishermen it must
be said that the supply Of shorts this
season is very small and nearly all
Holsters in the market are counters"
costing fJfom 20 to 90 cents each.
An Improvement now under way that
will meet with the appreciation Of all
Pointers is the repairs that are being
effected on the back road" one of the
two main highways on the Point, run
ming from Small cottage to the post
oftic" Several fine cottages are locat-
"a on this road, as is also the Casino.
and the condition of the roadbed has
been very bad for several seasons EX-
tensive repairs are now being made by
a crew Of men and the conditions much
improved.
Wilie's orchestra Of BoOthbay Harbor
furnished the music for the regular
Saturday evening hop at the Casino
and the attendance was the largest of
the season.
The tennis court in front of the
Prcsbrey cottage has been rolled and
put into condition for use. and several
matches are played off daily.
