THE KENNEDY COTTAGE AT BAR HARBoR.
The recent death in New York of John S
Kennedy, who for something like twenty
years had been summer resident of Bar Har-
Dor, recalls the fact that the interior finish,
windows, doors, ETC., of his cottage" which
is one of the show places of that famous re-
sort were furnished by Mathews Bros. of this
city, who did like work for many other fine
cottages there. Mr.. Frank B. Mathews became
a member of the firm of Mathews Bros. about
the time this work was done for Mr.. Kennedy
and from him the writer obtained some of the
details. We recall, for one thing, that it was
necessary to cable to Spain for a certain kind
of stained glass, as time would not permit of
sending the order by mail. Another thing re-
called in connection with this cottage is that
the architect was to give it his personal super
vision until completion, and that it was to be
furnished with every essential for housekeep-
ing, the stable equipped with horses and car
riages and staff of servants engaged so that
when the family arrived on certain date
everything would be in readiness for them.

STEAMER NOTES. The City of Bangor ar
rived here from Boston last Saturday morning,
having taken the place of the Belfast while the
latter is at Bath undergoing an overhauling to
prepare her for winter service. It was an
nounced last week that the Belfast will be the
winter boat on the Bangor and Boston run in
stead of the Camden, as first reported. The
Camden will go on the Portland route .. The
fremont, Capt Barbour has gone on two
trip per week schedule, and leaves Bangor now
on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 73O a. M, and
returning arrives at the Bar Harbor wharf at
p. m. on Mondays and Thursdays. This steamer
runs on the Bangor and Mckinley line, touch
ing at Winterport, Bucksport, Sandy Point,
Castine, Ryder's Cove, Eggemoggin, South
Brooksville, Sargentville, Deer Isle, Sedgwick,
Brooklin and West fremont. 1t is said that
larger and faster boat is needed for this route,
and that one will be put on next season and
the route extended to Manset.. . The Rockland,
Capt. Bennett, running from Bangor to West
Brooksville, has changed time, leaving the Bar
Harbor wharf daily at 1.3O o'clock, instead of at
2, as formerly. 1t was SO rough Monday that
the Stockton, of the Bucksport and Camden
route, did not come down river. The Golden
Rod and Anna Belle came over from Castine
but did not make the Islesboro landings. -.
