largest catch ever reported at the

Somewhat of a new departure in the
entertainment line was inaugurated
last week. A party Of the young peo-
pie of the island enjoyed a novel even
ing, spending the time in singing col
lege songs, playing games and other
such means of entertainment. Some
Of those who had been expected to be
present went to Portland during the
day and failed to get back in time, as
the wind failed and Mr.. Woodman's
"Winjoy" on which the party was, be-
came becalmed and so Mr.. Woodman,
Lieut.. Mcmahon, the Fords and some
others missed the enjoyable time. 1t
seems that the islanders would enjoy
an occasional change of entertainment
from dancing, and so the hall is to be
devoted once a week to an evening
Of general amusements, games, music,
etc. There are large number of
young people here this year and they
are very congenial and have numerous
good times together.
Miss J. R. Thorpe of East Orange.
n. ]. is now here for the rest of the
season and has as her guests, Miss
Martha Brainerd and Mr.. Ira Brain
erd, of New York City for a short
while.
1t has been recently brought forci-
bly, to the attention of residents here
that the cottages and their furnishings
| are not safe from marauders during
the winter months. This spring one Of
+ the cottages on the island was entered
by having a window broken, and
large quantity of furnishings, includ-
ing almost every conceivable kind of
article such as rugs, lamps, blankets,
linen and other household goods was
taken. This incident will undoubted-
ly serve as a timely, and unfortunate
~, as q necessary warning to other
residents to close their cottages up
very securely and not to leave any
valuables in them during the winter
months. Most Of the cottagers have
considered that If they guarded against
leaks that that was sufficient, but it
seems that another element Of dan
ger has entered and that precautions
must be taken to meet 1t.
