MERRICONEGG HOUSE,

MERRICONEAG HOUSE.
The custom of serving complement
tary shore dinners to the guests on
Fridays was varied last week by
real old fashioned clam bake. A
fire was built a short distance from
the hotel and after the rocks had
been sufficiently heated the ingredi-
ants packed with sea-weed were
placed on the heated ROCKS. The
menu which consisted of clam bull
lion steamed CLANS, steamed eggs,
crackers and coffee provided a feast
that will never be forgotten by the
partakerS. The entire arrangement
were under the charge of the eff
cient chef of the hotel Albert w.
Ham.
Prof. Edward A. Thompson OF
Lawrence, Mass, entertained the
guests Of the house on the evening
Of Aug. Z, with a program of miScel-
laneous readings and vocal solos.
His efforts were received with gen
erous applause.
A drowning accident was narrowly
averted from the wharf of the Merri
coneag boat house on Friday. John
PANEL, the young son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Nelson PANEL was sailing a
boat from the wharf and dropping
the string attached to it leaned over
far enough to lose his balance and
fall in. He was unable to swim and
was reported to have gone under
the second time when rescued by
Ernest Walton of Philadelphia At
ter change Of clothing, he was soon
as lively as ever with no apparent
ill results.
Sail boats and motor botas have
been kept busy during the last
weeks conveying guests of the house
to points of interest in the bay and
parties made up for fishing trips
have been rewarded with good catch
es.
