The great Thomas IiargreaveS railroad

evening, Saturday, Aug. II, and ii goes
without saying that the huge tents will be
filed at both performances. The small

if the older folks, too, have the day marked
on the calendar. This season Mr., llar-

One of the most enjoyable events in the
history of the Travellers Club was the day,
July 9th, spent at the cottage of Miss Mar
garet A. Dunton at the Battery. The gath h
ering was in honor of Mrs. George S. Mills,
former member, now of Bennington, Vt.
Miss Martha 0. Barreli of i Ork, Mrs.
Eugene Rust of Kansas City and Mrs.
George Butnam of Boston were also guests
of the occasion. A perfect day IN such a
charming location made more attractive by
the gracious welcome of the hostess, rem
dered the happiness of the mem oers CON-
plete The only regret was that few were
unable To attend. During the afternoon a
message of greeting was received by tele-
phone from Mrs. Amos Clement at her sum-
mer home, and a general response returned.
The party was augmented at six O'Clock by
the Rev. George S. Mills and MAJOR Dun
ton, when dinner was served. TIE tables
were spread upon the broad piazza over
look ing for miles the beautiful PenObs cot,
and both the view and the menu were sat-
isfying in the extreme. The place cards
bore the Indian ''Wehpitt ituck"-Let us
eat together. The feature of the evening
was ii huge bonfire on the shore, around
which many dusky figures hoyerel, a true
picture of primitive days. At a late hour
the company returned to their homes by
buci. board fully convinced that tle "held
day" of 1906 viii long remain pleasant
memory.
