Clam Bake.
For a number of times Theodore N.
Vail has entertained the people in this
vicinity quite generally by real shore
clam bake, everything complete but the
salt water This delightful occasion was
repeated last Friday, and about $50
people were invited to partake of clans
cooked in real shore fashion, and with
the usual Accomplishments at noon. The
dinner was served in the coach house,
the uncertainty of the weather rendering
an outdoor spread inadvisabe. A small
army of walters was kept busy serving
clam chowder, clans, sweet corn, blue
fish, watermelon and coffee in quantities
sufficient to satisfy the most voracious
appetite and cooked in fashion to de-
light the palate of the most fastidious
gourmet A babel of tongues and
laughter attested that good digestion
waited upon appetite, and the satisfied
countenances of the guests only attested
their great enjoyment. MIR. and Mrs.
Vail are now entertaining a large party
of friends from the city, all of whom
mingled with his country guests, and
seemed to enjoy the occasion 20 the
uttermost. Truly it was a red-letter
day, and one which will always be
pleasantly remembered by those attend
ing.
