Opening of Library Among Events Of
Last Week.
This popular and pleasant island
does not seem to be affected by the
late season" talk which is heard in
some other parts of Casco Bay. The
season at Cliff is really very good and
hotels and cottages alike are rapidly
filing
Mr. Richard NJ. Newlin and family
Of Haverford, Pa, are summering at
the Murphy Cottage at the end of
Woodland Road. They will spend
the entire season on the island.
Mr.. S. P. Darlington, End, of
Georgetown, S. c., grandson Of Mr..
S. P. Darlington, is at the peace
Cottage" on the western end of the
island for the season. Miss Hitch
man, of Mt. Pleasant, Pa, who has
! been a guest at the lDarlington's, has
recently left Mr. Creagh NJ. Hey
decker, captain of the motor launch,
Osprey" is also at the cottage for
the summer.
The boat service here on week days
is excellent, the ere being four trips
each way. On Sundays, however, the
service is not is good, there being
| only two trips up and two down. This
makes it inconvenient for some peo-
pie who are spending week ends here
to get back to Portland in time to con-
meet with trains to points away. 1t is
hoped that some remedy may be sug-
gested and tried out. Mgr Goding's
spirit Of accommodation is we'll
known and he will undoubtedly make
any change possible which does not
injure the service to other points
when the matter comes to his atten-
ton.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Gilchrist and
family of Philadelphia. Pa. are at
their cottage, The Ferns" for the
summer. Mr.. Gilchrist is we'll
known artist and is doing quite a bit
OF painting here. No place could fur
nish more beautiful marine views than
Casco Bay and Mr.. Gilchrist's choice
OF this island for summer home is
to be commended

the party had enjoyed social hour
or two, delicious shore dinner was

feature. One member of the party.

day at the Maasbyll's, but the others
returned to Portland on the afternoon
boat ,having had very enjoyable
time. Mr.. Maasbyll, who is superin-
tendent of the Westbrook Mill, came

The Sunday church services have
not yet begun and it is extremely
doubtful if they can be arranged 1t
has in past seasons been customary to
have different Portland pastors CONG
down for short afternoon service,
but this year the minister must leave
Portland at 10 a. m. and is unable to
return until late afternoon. Under
these conditions, it is difficult to Sc
cure the services OF anyone as most
pastors have their own services at
l03O a. m, which they cannot neglect.

Northampton, Mass, and Mrs. w. S.
