Island Park viii Be Mecca for
Happy Party This Year.
el... 81 'os, A'gh School viii Hold
aeuaIon This Evening.

The 18th annual Bradstreet Chill
dren's Summer excursion will be held
Tuesday. July 10. 1910. The excursion
this year as last. will go to Island
Park on the Winthrop division of the
L., A. & w. st. Ry. 1t has been now
several years since the excursion went
down river. This has been necessitated
by the impossibility of securing an
excursion boat large enough to ac-
commodate the number of persons
which the excursion includes.
The river trip was always very pop
ular and much enjoyed, but more and
more those who go to Island Park feel
that as a resort with accommodations
for those who go for picnic there are
few places it's equal. Surrounded by
that beautiful and expansive body of
yater, Lake Cobbossee. the place has
the cool breezes of the seashore.
The pines with the deep cool shade
can scarcely he found elsewhere. From
year to year the numerous attractions
Of this place have been increasingly
felt by those who have gone upon the
Rradstreet excursion. This year the
Mace will have added attractions un-
Street Car Co. The company realizes
tl,p va!uutof the excursion traffic and
are leaving nothing undone to make all
Of IT'S resorts most popular Island
Park, hOwever; is the oldest of all the
resorts on the system of railway and
easily stands first in its attractiveness.
When children go for good time
anywhere they like to have an Oppor-
tunitv to spend few pennies careful
" saved up for festive occasion. At
some resorts there are so few places
where the children may have scope
for such desires that the day becomes
monotonous and wearisome. With TINS
the fishing privileges of Island Park
are fully as good as down river.
Two features of this resort should not
be overlooked namely. the sailing in the
motor boats, which carry those who so
out on perfectly safe sail of many miles
through islands and over the broad bosom
of the lake The bracing breeze sweeping
over the crystal waters of the sparkling
food abounGinS in fish and encircled by
the rosiest of landscapes makes this sail
upon the water one long to be remember
ed: with the sail comes i'm also the long
stay upon the grounds. which affords an
exercise of every desire-the boys may
play ball, the older persons in charge
may enjoy the shade and visit. while
those who wish to explore the surround
ings have ample time at their disposal.
The safety from accident is also a wor-
thy feature of this trip. The. greatest
precaution is taken by the company.
The excursion will start from Depot
square, Gardiner. at 7.3O A, M. Tuesday.
July 10.
The tickets will be in the hands of the
following persons for distribution at once:
Rev. Robert Lawton, South Gardiner:
De. J. l.. Quimby. Rev. J. r. Clifford.
