Special Despatch TO THE NEW YoRk HEaALp.
BAR HARBoR. Me-, Aug. 27.
N effort is being made to pro-
N long the season here and this
h has taken rather novel direc-
ton, for at special town meeting
It was voted to adopt daylight saving
and lengthen the hours of daylight for
the late risers. Most OF Maine is on
daylight saving time but Bar Harbor
refused to adopt the system last spring
and put It In operation the last week
just as other Maine communities are
about to go back TO the standard time
for the remainder OF the year.
Bar Harbor's action resulted from
the urging OF guests at the hotels who
are anxious to have the season pro-
longed bit and think that the guests
will stay on IL there is another hour
OF daylight for them, an hour not ac-
quired by arising at a very unreason-
able time IN the morning. 1t is ex-
pected that the local hotels will re-
main open for a fortnight or so longer
than was intended.
One of the delightful events OF the
week was the large reception given Mr..
ana Mrs. Philip Livingston of New York
