Kineo, Moosehead Lake, Me-, Aug. g.
-(SpeciaD has the largest
number of people for the first week in
August that has ever gathered here in
the history OF the popular resort.
Everybody is made happy by the varied
interests which the summer life of this
Moosehead country affords to those
who seek it's inviting shades and cool
breezes for their summer outing.
Canoeing and motor boating in the

the past week has afforded no end of
pleasure for the young people.
In addition there have been no end
of sports to crafty the lovers of out

The finest social event this season
was the fleet run and picnic of the
Moosehead Lake Yacht Club which &C.
Cured at the close of last week in
which nine boats containing fifty peo-
pie participated. The original plan
was to go to Duck Cove and make a
landing, but the high wind changed
the course that the fleet ran in near
the mouth of Socatean stream, where
guides prepared supper which was eat
en- on shore. In the evening, the run
home was made by moonlight and as
the flagship Unome with Commodore
c. M. Clark aboard sounded her gun
on entering the harbor it was signal
for dismissal and all the whistles
sounded the end of happy day, in
cidentally making the echoes ring
about these shores.
Today the Yacht Club is giving
carnival of water sports in the lake
in front of the clubhouse in which
large number of young people are
taking part. Many of the boys from
Camp Wildwood, the boys summer
