rEMpLE OF MUSIC DEDICATED.

TEMPLE OF MUSIC DEDICATED.
Bar Harbor's new Temple of Music and
Arts was dedicated Saturday with no less
renowned a star than Madame Emma
Eames, who was the soloist at the opening
concert. The handsome building was re-
ceived from the hands OF the builders and
thrown open for musical and artistic uses.
Society filled every corner Of the hand
some little auditorium, and not only the
presence OF Madame Esmes, but also the
dedication of the unique building, with
out a parallel at any summer resort. or
anywher else, for that matter, caused the
social leaders to turn out en- naasse. 1t was
the musical event of the summer. The
rich voice OF Madame Earnes charmed the
fashionable audience no less than did the
beauties OF the handsome building.
The building is a perfect replica OF an
old Greek temple. On three sides high
pillars support the roof, and afford q
pleasing contrast to the simple lines of
the building. 1t is finished in white
stucco, and the effect at . 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. They are twenty-four
feet in height, and three feet in diameter.
The base OF the building is OF concrete,
and is on the plan OF Greek temple with
steppe base very carefully carried out.
There is large loggia on the front Of the
building, and on either side of this are
two large panels nine feet long and four
feet eight inches high, in which are
placed plaster casts from the Parthenon
frieze, specially imported from Paris.
The inside is equally as attractive as
the outside. The interior OF the audito-
rum is -0x32 feet, and this is lighted by
five windows on either side. These are
seven feet square. The stage is on the
eastern side OF the building. and is about
twenty-five feet deep, while the pro-
scenium arch is thirty feet wide and TWEEN
ty feet high.
The wallis and ceiling Of the stage are
constructed OF wood on the same princi-
pie as the sounding boards OF the stages
in German music halls. The walls are
treated in plaster panellings, so A. not to
obstruct the sound. II these were OF
wood, there would be too much echo.
The ceiling is composed OF forty-five large
Golfers, in every one OF which is large
cluster OF lights.
The building is situated in . most at
tractive site, just east Of the Kebo valley
club golf links, and on the slopine side Of
. hill. From its elevation it commands .
fine view OF the links, and faces directly
south, commanding splendid view OF the
mountains.

New England Picnic in California.

New England Picnic In California.
P. G. Wooster, OF Pasadena, CAL, sends
clipping from the Examiner, OF that
town, telling of a monster basket picnic
on the Fourth, in which all the New Eng
land societies combined. 1t is estimated
that ], 800 people were present. In letter
accompanying the clipping Mr.. Wooster
says:
You will note from the clipping that Maine
did something here on the Fourth. in COM
pany with other New England states. We
had, assure you, real New England love-
feast, which was made the sweeter by the
presence of Vermont maple sugar, the
genuine.
Beautiful swans sailed upon the water OF
the lake very gracefully. There was Just
breeze enough to fan the bosom of the lake
into gentle, sparkling waveiets. We enjoyed
ourselves the more here, in thinking OF you
there. We cannot, nor do we wish to, forget
our New England home and our friends there
We live in the past as in the present. There
Is Joy in both.
