BAR HARBOR, July r. 1907.
The Greek temple of music Is one Of the
most unique affairs. that has ever been
constructed. and certainly without a par
allel at any resort in the country. In archi-
lecture it is a cross between the Prophylae
and the Erichtaeum. technically speaking,
but to the uninitiated. 1t is sufficient to say
that it is perfect replica Of an old Greek
| temple. On three sides high pillars support
the roof. and afford a pleasing contrast to
the simple lines of the building. 1t is I'm
ished In white stucco. and the effect at a
short distance is extremely beautiful.
The roof is of red thing, specially made
for the building. The ten columns are the
largest ever turned in Maine. These are
twenty-four feet in height, and three feet
in diameter.
A notable addition to Bar Harbor's list
which was formally opened Thursday night
by dinner of eighteen covers. The build

Fox of Philadelphia. and has been unused
for many years. has been thoroughly re-
built and no pains nor expense has been
