STIRS BAR HARB0R
The Arrival of the Cecilie
Causes a Sensation Among
the Summer ColOnistS.

Bar Harbor, Aug. s.-Although the
past week gave promise Of being the
gayest Of the season, interest in social
functions was somewhat depleted by
the arrival of the steamship Kronprin-
zessin Cecilie. which sought refuge in
this port. The wave of excitement
caught the cottage colony, and on Tues
day many affairs suffered for lack of
attendance.
The archery and clay pigeon shooting
contests were postponed, and there was
hardly any gallery at the preliminary
match of the mems singles for state
championship at the Swimming Club
courts. Summer visitors gathered at
the wharf. and many engaged boats for
a trip to the ocean liner. Nearly every
private yacht was in commission. Mrs.
John s. Kennedy took out party on
the Cherokee. and Mr.. and Mrs. Vim
cent Aston, whose yacht, the Norma,
was moored at Seal Harbor, cruised
over to this port. In the afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. Astor were visitors OF
Captain Polack on board the steamship.
Mr.. Astor's father. the late John Jacob
Aston, who lost his life in the Titanic
disaster, had made many voyages with
Captain Polack. Mr.. Aston showed a
deep interest in the trip Of the Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie and was eager to
learn the details Of her escape.
In the morning, on account OF Tor
malities, visitors were not allowed on
board Leonard Opdycke, of New York,

papers and flowers 10 an acquaintance
Mrs. Opdycke and Miss Mary Opdycke,

mitted ashore were c. Ledysrd Blair
and James A. Blair, jr. who, after WIS.,
iting d. c. Blair at his summer home,
Blair Eyrie, left on the first train for
New York. c. Ledyard Blair was the
centre of interest at the wharf when IT
became known that he had assisted IN
plotting in the steamship. Mr.. Blair
had cruised these waters many times
in his yacht and his familiarity with
the bearings was most helpful. lie

N WAS always called crank on the
care Of farm implements. What
they meant was that took moro
time than was profitable to care for the
tools; but to me it was more pleasure
to use well-cared-for tool than some
weatherbeaten or rusty affair, aside
from tho quality Of the work done with
il.
The harrow was the only tool that 1
unhitched from in the field, it being
too inconvenient TO take in. Then the
quality Of the work it would do in
either case could hardly be taken into
considerations so that harrow was
cleaned and well painted once in two
years, and it was out in the weather
about six weeks every spring. It cost
$iS and used 1t 80 years.
There was a wateringt place in the
machine shed, and hitching up and un-
