The weekly meetings began on Satur- day evening with what was called a popular service, the Rev Dr. Brown of Bridgeport being ill charge. MT. Roth, who is chorus leader, led the congrega- tion ill several gospel hymns. There were solos and recitations, also talk by the president of the Pine Grove Association, MT. J. B. Reynolds, of Bridgeport, which was enjoyed by all
 Among the recent arrivals at the Inn are: Rev. Dr. Brown and family, Bridge port; Miss Hughe, A. l.. Adams, Mrs Kittie M. Holton and daughter, Dan bury; Miss Myrtle Robinson, Maine; MT. and Mrs. M. B. Hawley, Stepney, Conn.,, and the Misses Thompson, Brooklyn, N. Y. The classes in physical culture given every morning at 10:30 are very largely attended, and much enjoyed. There will be a special enter tainment given Saturday evening, by the classes.
 The little farce, entitled "Not a Man In the House." which was given before a large, and enthusiastic audience some evenings since, at Grove Hall, cleared larger proceeds than any previous en- tertainment given this season. The money will be'appropriated by the Tennis Club for the erection of new club house. Mrs. Martwick, of Brooklyn, who took the part of leading lady" (and is especially good as an amateur actress), was much at home ill the role of builder, and manager of her home, without the aid of "a man."

Miss Fitz- Patrick, of White Plains, very cleverly portrayed the part of much abused young lady visiting her aunty, where she could not receive the accustomed visits of her tiance-simplY because he was Ca man." The stage fittings were homelike and artistic. which added much to the realistic effect of the scene.

There were several new features intro- duced. One worthy of special mention originated in the brain of Miss Carrie Hoyt, of Stamford. One of the cottages was converted into french "Millinery Imporium," where numerous wonder ful and grotesque creations were put ro- gether by different artists. Madame Finnet, Mrs. Finney, of Stamford, made a most attractive model and saleslady showing off the bonnets to great advan- tage, all seeming to be just adapted to her style of beauty. Some of the most unique designs, strange to say, were fashioned out of peach baskets, ,collander sleves and other housekeeping utensils, decorated with the natural flowers, vege- tables and fruits raised about here. Oftentimes the hat would be adjusted by most novel hat pm bearing the head of 8 small round onion. One winch attracted much attention along the Strictly Tailor-made line" was per fectly plain peach basket with a small pitch-fork passed through the crown as hat pin. Everyone declared the ex- hibit well worth the nickel charged for admission. A prize was given for the most original design and won by Miss Sheppard, a guest of Mrs. Wyatt. Other attractions were a fish pond for the children; fortune telling booth for the maidens; ice cream, homemade cakes, candies and utility and fancy tables pre- sided over by the ladies i'll their usual delightful, and cordial manner. A num- Der of the men spending their vacations in the grove very kindly lent a helping hand also.
