Association. 1t is conceded that the dead

should be interrupted by events that tend
to concentrate public attention and make
more exciting attraction for the summer
visitor. The Deal lake contests will in
troduce numerous feminine aspirants for

professionals. The Deal launches will also
be brought into commission. and the pro-
gram as arranged will be varied with tub
