who came to hear the interesting talk of Miss
June K. Hills of Marblehead. Mass, about Ber-
muda, where she spent several weeks the past
winter in company with Miss Louisa H. Fer
guson. She gave an interesting description of
the islands, their composition, topography and
vegetation, their industries and inhabitants
their churches, schools and houses; told of
visits to wonderful grotto, stocked with fish.
to the so-called "marine gardens" and to the
caves etc. All the features of their visit were
pleasantly described. An interesting incident
was their meeting with former Belfast resi-
dent, Mr. Nicholas Lusher, who left here about
forty years ago, after the "big fire." and went
to Bermuda, where he established photo
graph gallery, which is still carried on by as
sistants. Mr.. Lusher giving his time and at
tention to managing a very fine hotel. The
sign over the photograph shop is unique
and reads "Lusher and Sum- He was delight
ed to meet the ladies' from Belfast, and spoke
OF many whose names, at least, were familiar.
Miss Hills delightfully."- informal talk was
most thoroughly enjoyed. There was no bus-
ness meeting. but plans for the bazaar were
discussed.
"THE ENCHANTED APPLE" This bright little
operetta was presented at the Colonial Theater
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, April 18th
and 10th. by about Is young people of the
Universalist church, under the direction of
Mrs Clarence f. Read, and was great sue
cess. Mrs. Reads tireless work was evidence
by the smoothness with which the production
went off. 1t would have been a credit to
grown ups, as each child from the tiny fairies
to the members of the cast were letter per-
feet. The principals were all fine. Miss
Shelaon IN her difficult role appeared much at
home on the stage, and was excellent in both
her acting and vocal work. Miss Young was
also very good. The parents, played by Miss
Ruth Curtis and Byron Salters, were splendid.
Mrs. Alice Southworth was most attractive
governess, and Vaughan Hayes. as a lover, was
excellent, and Miss Grace Mitchell as the fairy
very good indeed. Those who were cast for
the minor parts sustained them well. and the
chorus of milkmaids, laborers and school chill
ment while the fairy chorus of little girls
drought down the house." A feature of the
evening was the instrumental solos by AL
phonso Richie, and the singing of parody of
The Old Oaken Bucket by Master Carleton
Read was much enjoyed, as evidenced by the
applause which followed his song. He was clad
in Dutch costume, with wooden "sabots,"
which was very appropriate to his little Dutch
song. The children were as happy in their
parts the second night as the night before The
fairies, although trifie tired from the first
nights performance, were as cute as ever and
called for liberal applause. The participants
and the coach have all been warmly congratu-

THE JUNIOR BOARD OF TRADE. In an adj
dress last week before the members of the
Belfast High school, as representative of the
Board of Trade, in the interest Of the forming
of Junior Board of Trade, Orlando E. Frost
sought to impress his hearers with the fact
that ere long they will be called to take the
places of the members of the present board,
and that the destinies of our city will be in
their hands. In illustration he cited the
changes which have taken place since he came
to Belfast Is years ago. Beginning at the
foot of the Main street, and along the water
front, are many young men. now the heads of
firms, who were then in the High or Grammar
schools. On Main street nearly every business
house has changed hands, and where they have
not it is the exception. The young business
men have grown up within the past Is or 16
years. On Phoenix Row, High street and
Church street, there have been like changes.
The boys and girls of Is years ago are fast be-
coming prominent in the business of the
city. Mr.. Frost then went on to say that the
boys and girls of today must help to make Bel
fast the best place of sill to live in. and cited
many ways and means by which they can be of
great assistance to the men who are doing so
much to this end. The possibilities of the
Board of Trade. he said, were greater than any
other organization, for it is unbiased by re-
ligious or political opinions. The address was
listened to with close attention and much in
terest was manifested. Last Thursday morn
ing Rev. w. F. Sturtevant of the Baptist
church addressed the High school in regard to
the duties of the Junior Board of Trade now
being organized by the students. The three
essentials for the success of such an organiza-
ton, said Mr.. Sturtevant are generous spirit
of enthusiasm, cooperation and optimism. In
his address he told of cities similar to Belfast
that have been improved by the kind of work
the pupils of the High school propose to do,
especially in keeping the streets clean and
promoting hygienic conditions. The city is
greatly in need of such improvement and the
pupils feel quite confident that they possess
