few weeks many picnic parties have
been taken up river on board the
Snale, chaperoned by Commodore
Lewis. The little steamer is equip
ped with picnic necessities: camp
chairs, folding tables, a stove. cook
ing utensils and lights, making a
feast much more comfortable and
delightful. The boat takes these
daily relief seekers to point be-
low the Cottage, and sometimes
above Coffin's Creek.
The river is a much frequented di-
version by owners of launches, who
speed their crafts up aad down the
stream and around 1.-THE loop district
through the back waters. These tiny
passenger boats are a source of much
pleasure and sometimes profanity
But on Sundays the river is visited
by hundreds who spend the day with
their families under the shade of the
friendly elms and maple trees, lunch
ing from well filled baskets of fried
fowl and other tempting food. and
bathing in the cooling water. Man.
chester is in need of public bath
houses and several desirable loca-
tions have been suggested. An ell.
terprise of this kind would be of
much worth and pleasure to the
young and old alike.

siren shrieks of the steam whistle at

and arrived at the scene of trouble
just as the flames had been extin-
guished by Mrs. Oliver and daugh-

slightly burned upon the wrists and

the conflagration. An immersion OF

poured from door and windows in a
threatening way. A member of the

house for two hours, some anxiety
being felt from danger of combus-
