A LOBSTER DINNER. The steamer Castine
made her first trip to Crescent Beach for the
season last Sunday, and it was the first party
to arrive at that resort by water. Although
the wind during the day came from all points
of the compass it blew the hardest when it
came from astern and so was not felt In fact,
the day on the water was exceptionally pleas
ant, and save for a swell on the down trip be-
tween Camden and Owls Head the sea was
smooth. The shores were looking their best
the fields at their greenest and the foliage
fresh from the showers of the night before.
Mount Percival was picture, clothed from its
rocky shore to the summit in different shades
of green, the light color of the birches con-
trasting strongly with the dark green of the
frs and spruces. At Northport Campground
the piling has been driven for the extension of
ready when the steamers Camden and Belfast
come on the route. At Temple Heights, where
a landing was made, the new hotel is con-
spicuous object. 1t is boarded and rooted.
Both the Campgrounds looked inviting, but
few people We're about at either place. At
Camden many of the excursonists went ashore
to visit in Camden, Rockport or Rockland or
go to the beach by trolly. few minutes af
ter the schedule time the Castne came along
side the pier at Crescent Beach, and Landland
Smith was on hand as usual to take the lines
and welcome the visitors. Once landed the
stranger is in need of pilot The long
pier leads directly to the building where the
famous shore dinners are served and few
minutes after arrival the party were seated
and Mr. and Mrs. Smith were here and there in
the big dining hall to see that no one lacked
for attention. There is evidently no scarcity
of Holsters at Crescent Beach. At every plate
was half of freshly boiled lobster in the
shell, and you had your choice of clam or lob
ster stew. Then came fried clans, fried cod, |
with hot biscuit, doughnuts, coffee and pie.
The lobster order could be duplicated as many
times as desired, and if any one failed to get
their fill of lobster it was their fault. Capt !
Abner Gilmore undertook to keep count Of the
number of Holsters eaten by one of the party
but not having pencil was obliged to give 1t up
The captain is a pretty good hand himself at
eating Holsters, and although he had been to
Crescent Beach several times in recent years
it was the first time he had seen it since the
old sea-faring days, when the whole coast was
familiar to him. He said that sometimes
there would be fleet of hundred sail at
anchor in Owls Head harbor, while last Sun
day the only occupant was an old bay coaster
with suit of sails much too small for her.
Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Gilchrest were pas
sengers on the down trip, leaving the boat at
Camden, and on the return, just off Jameson's
Point, we found Capt. Gilchrest in a motor
boat with a bowsprit in tow. The tow line was
shifted to the Castine, Capt. Gilchrest was
taken on board and the Castine proceeded.
landing was made at Camden, and about $50 p.
the party arrived home, every one voting
the first excursion of the season decided
success.
