FOREST FIRES. Late Thursday afternoo q
forest fire was raging on land owned by the H.
C. Pitcher estate on the back road to Searsport.
The timber had been cut off and the land was
covered with brush. The Belfast fire depart
ment was notified to be in readiness to go to
the scene if needed, but were not called out,
and Friday mornings rain extinguished the
fire. Sunday an alarm was rung in about p.
m. from box Sc for fire in the Toothaker
woods on the back road to Northport. The
fremen went out and soon had the fire under
control. The wind was high at the time and
without prompt work serious fire might have
resulted.

A SUCCESSFUL RECITAL. A number of the
parents, relatives and friends gathered in Miss
Amy E. Stoddard's attractive studio last Fri
day evening to listen to a recital by her pupils.
The programs were most attractive, each bear
ing the picture of famous musician or COM
poser on the cover. Miss Mildred Arnold
began the program with "a Sailors Hornpipe,"
by Meachem, played in perfect time. Miss
Lavaughan Knowlton rendered 'sThe Joyous
Peasant" by Schumann, most successfully, and
was followed by Miss Helen Kittredge who
did full justice to Wagner's well-known and
impressive Bridal Chorus "Santa Claus
by Schumann, was well played by Miss Hazel
Bradstreet, assisted by Miss Stoddard. Little
Miss Madeline Coombs charmed her audience
by playing and singing "The Flytrap,' by Bug
bee. Miss Mildred Gray skillfully rendered "In
the Smithy," descriptive number. Hadyn's
"Gipsy Rondo' was played with skill and finish
by Miss Mabel Craig whose technique would
have been credit to much older performer.
Master Earl Hubbard's rendering of "Chimes of
the Deep" by Goerdeler, was one of the treats
of the evening. He played without notes, and
with dash and feeling that spoke for his great
talent as well as years Of work with fine in
structors. The song by Master Ben Parker was
thoroughly enjoyed, and was finely rendered.
Miss Ruth Kimball played "By Moonlight
with much skill, and was followed by Miss
Annette Holt, who gave dainty little selec-
ton called "The Dream Fairy" by Sieboeck.
June Roses" by Spaulding, was enjoyed as
played by Miss Ella Flood. and little Miss Mary
Hayes followed with an appropriate selection
called "Clover Blossoms" Miss Margaret
Craig played Little Sheep Bells" skilfully
without notes, and the closing number, Nevin's
"Narcissus," was finely rendered from memory
by Miss Marie Sholes. Before the departure
of the guests Miss Stoddard was persuaded to
play, and gave her listeners treat withitwo
brilliantly rendered selections by Mcdowell.
The evening was much enjoyed by all, and was
a source of just pride to the parents and friends
