hoxs IF the fleet were headed toward
the west shore and to the Heath land-

was q dinner which was awaiting the
LAWYERS on their arrival, ana which
was as excellent as it was bountlful.
Mr.. Heath has great reputation as
an entertainer and those who We're
present say that he ably sustained it
Saturday.
After dinner athletic sports were in
order, and the first to be INDUCED in
was a baseball game. Many of the
members of the bar We're great ball
nlaycrs in their college days and there
was no difficulty in finding plenty who
wanted to get into the game once again.
Two teams were chosen, one of them
being designated the Fee Sinplcs and
captaincd by l.. A. Burleigh of this
city, while the others rcjoiced in the
name Of Tenants i'm Tail, with Hon. @.
B. Clason of Gardiner to look after its
destinics The battery Of the Fee Sim
pies was Burleigh and Foster. and for
the Tenants in Tail. Hildreth and
Maher Judge Cornish and Hon. Will
liam r. Haincs were umpircS. The
score was kept by proportion and was
to in favor OF the Tenants in Tail.
No errors were made except those Of
Judgment on the part of the umpires.
After the ball game the party ad-
iourned to the shore of the lake to wit
ress the boat races. There were both
single scull and four-Oared races. with
plenty Of starters and lots of excitement
in each The winners in the singles WcI"
w. c. Atkins, Joseph Williamson, p
O. Reanc and Frank l.. Dutton. and al
though no official time was announced
it is said that the 400-yard course was
covered very quickly.
The contestants in the four-oared race
were putton ana Williamson, with
Judge Cornish aS coXSWain, and Atkins
and Beane. with Judge Spear as cox
swain. and the latter judge stored his
crew to victory. although it is said that
he had to go some TO do it.
The races concluded the sport of the
afternoon and the party soon after re-
embarked on the launches for the re-
turn trip to Island Park. from which
they took the car for home. arriving in
Augusta al about $50. The whole affair
was grand success. The weather
could not have been better, and as for
the occasion itself it was all that man
could desire. and not one of the legal
representatives Of Kennebec county
who was 50 fortunate as to be present
could hut feel that the days enjoyment
had done him world of good.
