than at other houses on the island.
On Monday Mrs. Fessenden L. Day,
wife of the well-known specialist on
infant diseases of Bridgeport, Conn,
returned to her home after most de-
lightful visit at Tip Top cottage. Miss
Mrs. Crane of Tip Top cottage, which

The fishing schooner Edmund F.
Black, Captain Frank Doughty, came
to anchorage at Mackerel Cove Friday
last about noon hour. The schooner
arrived at Portland Thursday evening
from three weeks swor16shing trip
to Canso, Nova Scotia, and had a car
go of ninety-th fish, one OF the
largest catches of the season. During
the first part Of the trip the fish were
rarely seen and up to the last three
days only thirty lone had been secured.
However, during this time sixty-two
fish were added and during one OF
these days twenty-nine fish were har-
pooned and taken on board. The crew
landed one fish weighing over six hun
dred pounds and it is one of the larg-
est ever reported. Mr.. Elroy Johnson,
who was the lucky member OF the crew
to secure this trophy, spent about five
hours in his dory before the fish was
finally taken captive. Two of the do
ries OF the crew were punched by
swordfish and one Of the crew had a
close escape from being pierced. On
account Of several sworishing cargoes
being received at Portland prior to
their arrival, the captain and crew
decided not to dispose OF theirs until
Monday when It is hoped the fish will
bring better price than would be Of
fered at this time.
Mrs. M. Ward and daughter, Miss
May 70. Ward, spent few days last
week at Scarboro and Sebago Lake.

The young men sang for the first time
Sunday afternoon and all present
were pleased to have them assist ~
the service and likewise delightHd with
the results that Mr.. Force was able to
