Mrs. John s. Kennedy, who gave to
Bar Harbor it's beautiful Young Wo-
mems Christian Association building,
has just announced another very i'm
portant gift to the people of the town.
| She has conveyed to seven trustees
| for perpetual public uses the athletic
field, SO called, including the Y. Nj, c.
| A. and Y. W. C. A. tennis courts,
comprising between seven and eight
acres of land. The trustees who hold
the property in trust for the public
are George B. Dorr. Ernesto G. Fabbri,
Charles
Paine, Guy E. Torrey, A. Stroud Rod
| lex and A. H. Lyman, Esq. 1t is very
gratifying to all who are interested
| in Bar Harbor to know that this prop
erty is to be kept perpetually open as
public park. The land is ideally
located on Main street and is admir-
ably suited for baseball, football and
| sports of all kinds and has been used
a. such for several years by courtesy
Of the owners. On the northern side
of the lot are three hne tennis courts,
two of which have been under control
Of the Y NJ. C.. A. and one of the Y.
w. c. A. 1t is the intention of the
donor that eventually the land at pres
ent used for football and baseball shall
| be decided to the town and the part
now occupied by the tennis courts to
! the Y. NJ. c.. A. and the Y. w. c. A.
The Bangor Theological Seminary
| Wednesday will open for it's 99th year,
with a medium-sized entering class of
good quality membership. This insti-
tuition of learning is to celebrate its
centennial in the spring of 1916, and
from present indications, 1t will have
quite an elaborate observance.
About the most laughable thing we
know of is the fear of New Brunswick
people that American money is not
quite so good as it ought to be or soon
will not be. for the reason that the
United States may be drawn into the
European war. How about New Bruins
wick itself? Is that not part OF
Great Britain, and is not Great Brit
ain really at war now? We have not
yet heard, however, that Yankees are
refusing New Brunswick money. Or
the contrary we think they are GLAD
to get all of it they can secure.
Lubec Herald; Ray Haskins, tht
II year old son of Webster Haskins
had miraculous escape from oeati
last Friday, at the Seaeoast factory
where he was employed. The boy
was playing up in the loft. where thu
main drive shaft is located, and II
some manner caught his clothing IL
the shafting, and was whirled around
and around 1t, until the garments
gave away, and he was hurled twenty
feet away, down through the flool
finto the packing room below. Ever,
bit of the boys clothing was tori
from his body, except his shoes ant
part of his stockings. and it is
miracle that he was not Instant,
killed, but when he was examined by
the doctor, he was found to be only
badly bruised and no bones broken.
