Two accidents marred the pleasures
at Arundel Saturday night. Mr.. Ar
mour Boeckstyne, a young son of one
of the cottagers, while riding his
horse, received painful injury. The
horse stumbled, throwing the boy
over the animals head and breaking
the young mans collar bone. lmme-
diate aid to the injured was given by
DR.. Clark, a guest at the Concord
Cottage, and the young man was
brought to Annapolis yesterday morn
ing and the fracture reduced by Dr. j.
]. Murphy.
The other accident was to small
son of the Bailiir of Arundel. Walter
Tyler, while fishing with his father,
had a fishhook caught in his hand,
and injury was most painful. The
hook had TO be cut from the child's
hand with a razor. During the pro-
cess of cutting an older brother. George
TYLER. tainted and lost consciousness
for some time. some effort being re-
quired to restore the older boy to con-
sciousness.
Once upon time land this is no
fairy story either) there used to be
a church at Arundel-on-t the Bay, where
services were held the first day of the
week. That was years ago. That
same "church" is today Mr.. Bosley's
dining room. 1t was purchased from
Mr.. Sommerville and by means of
skids and oxen was hauled from the
Point at Arundel to the rear of
Mr.. Bosley's cottage.
The story goes that the preacher in
this same church was opposed to
Sunday bathing, which he decried as
sinful for his Arundel congregation.
One Sunday, however, after a hot
summers day, and the shades of night
had fallen, and nights mantle was
pinned back by stars, the preacher
could not resist the temptation, and
went in the bay for swim. A
little Sunday-school boy came along
and saw him and cried out to the
clergyman: "Oh, Mr.. -, don't
you think the Lord can see you in
swimming on Sunday night as we'll
as in the daytime?"
An erudite professional gentleman
used to city walk and city talk, who
is visiting Arundel, when asked what
he thought of Arundel-on- the Bay,
replied: Il am like the Englishman
who. when he heard the Lords
Prayer for the first time. was asked
how he liked it, replied: Pretty.
very pretty-but slow" However
the English accent on the SLOW" can
not be expressed In cold type, ana
the humor falls flat.
Today Mr.. M. I. Weller, one of
the most popular cottagers here for
many years, said goodbye for the sea
son, and tomorrow Mrs. Weller and
her daughter, Mrs. c. Augustine Nc
Carthy and children, Mary Weller
and Weller Mccarthy, will leave for
Washington, and close Deer Lodge for
the season.
The season of 1910 is on its last lap
and, by the end of the week, most of
the cottages will be closed, and the
happy summer colony, like the Arabs
will fold their tents, and as silently
steal away.
