Murmari0gs From Arundel On. The Bay

Today Arundel-on-the-Bay, that
sprightly little summer colony,
has lost one of its most populsr
families, that of Mr.. j.. C. Courts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Courts closed their cot
tage, and with their daughter, Miss
Susie Courts, and their sons, Mr..
James and Master Jennings Courts,
left for Washington. They will re-
turn in October and reopen the cot
tage for a month.
On Saturday Miss Susie Courts and
her small brother. Jennings, will
leave Washington for Firthcliffe, n.
Y, to spend a month with their
sister, Mrs Alfred Clancy. Mr..
and Mrs. Courts and son, James,
will sail for Panama from New York
on next Monday
spending several days in Washington.
Mrs. Mccarthy and son, Weller,
who have been visiting Washing
ton for two weeks, have returned
to Deer Lodge.
Mrs. Frank Graham, who has been
visiting her son, Mr.. +. C. Graham
and his family, left yesterday for
Washington.
Miss Lorraine Graham, a student
of the Mary Baldwin School at
Stanton, Va, left for Washington
Tuesday, preparatory to making
arrangements to return to the
boarding school at Stanton early
next month. Miss Graham will return
to Arundel the last of the week.
The northeast storm that has pre-
vailed at Arundel-on-the-Ba the last
few days necessitated removal of the
launches into the creek. All of the
small row boats and other craft were
swamped.
Mrs. Medford, who has been visit.
ing Washington the past week, return
ed to her cottage at Arundel yes
terday.
Mr.. A. B. McManus, of the Hydro
graphic Office at Washington, will
arrive here tomorrow to spend his va
cation at Aundel-on- ebay.
Ii is expected there will be another
weekend dance on the pier tomorrow
night.
Mr.. j. C.. Courts returned Tuesday
from visit to Beverly. Mass, where
he was entertained by President Taft.
Yesterday Mrs. Heineke, her daugh-
ter-in' law and grandson closed their
cottage and left for Washington.
Mr.. Courts is having the old wood
en- piles removed from his pier and
they will be substituted by cement
piles. To this end cement piles are
being moulded each day and removed
from the mould the following day
AS the cement piles lie upon the beach
near the framework of the pier, they
look much like projectiles that have
been dropped from some aeroplane
over head.
The artesian well at Arundel-on-
the-Bay is-a failure. Some six hun
dred feet have been bored and the
water is still too brackish for use
Mr.. Leatherbury had charge of the
work for Mr.. Smith. The attempt
to bore the artesian we'll has cost a
great deal of money, but the result
has been most unsatisfactory
DR.. and Mrs. Hoskins are occupy
ing their cottage at Arundel-on- the
Bay.
During the northeast storm yester-
day and the day before, the Speedy
little launch belonging to Mr.. Speed,
broke its moorings and drifted out into
the Bay, but by prompt actions
it was tied to one of the stake
at the Courts pier
Some of the male cottagers take daily
constitutionals, walking over to Bay
Ridge, where the Tacoma Club from
Homestead, Pa, is encamped There
are ten sleeping tents and a large
dining and commissary tent The
camp is strictly stag affair, the
campers being men and boys no
women among them. Some of the
men walked to town yesterday but
said in all their lives they had never
Travelled over such bad roads, sand up
to their shoe tops. When they chose
Anne Arundel as their camping ground
they didn't know they had such a
hard road to travel, but only saw the
picturesque features.
AS the Arundel launches pass the
point at Bay Ridge where the Tacoma
Club has pitched its tents on the
bluff above, the campers fire small
cannon, giving two salutes, and wave
their hands at the launch parties in
