The sar1ine season closed last Saturday and
the pack estimated at about SO per cent of
that of last year. Fish were scarce to the
astw ard and record prices were paid at East
port near the close of the season. The local
plant of the Lubec Sardine Co. obtained its
fish from Castine, and though starting late
had fair supply. In former seasons the her
ring have been taken mainly from the Brooks
vile side, buc this year the weirs on the Cas-
tine shore did the biggest business. The short
pack this year will use up the surplus carried
over from 1872 and better prices looked
for in 1914. Tn local pack $4,000 cases,
little short of last year, which was $4,000
cases. Of this AZ 900 cases were oil and 5000
in mustard.

of the Written home-was well arranged with
furniture from H. E. McDonald's, and was an
appropriate setting for the handsome gowns
worn by the ladies of the cast. The members

convincing, were Mrs. Morris L. Sugg Miss
Katherine G. Quimby, Miss Anne M. Kittredge,
Miss Alice E. Simmons, Miss Katherine D.
Kittredge. Charles Hammons, Charles Harmon
and Morris l. Sugg. The local hits were
apt and frequent. An effective and enjoyable
feature of the evening the introduction of
duet by Miss Quimby and Mr.. Hammons in
the second act, when they sang Sympathy"
from 1.-The FREELY" Another prominent feat
ure was the ladies' orchestra-Miss Hazel
Doak. violin, Miss Gladys Pitcher, cello, and
Mrs. Leon Beckwith, piano, whose music
tributed much to the success of the affair.
Young girls sold boxes of home made candy
