To Maine Coast

SdlIlUcH, Me, July i-(SpeCldl)-
Summer residents arriving in Cam
den found the beautiful village in a
sad condition, her streets washed by
the floods from the recent storm
when one of the dams overflowed and
caused n damage of 100000 to prop
erty. Many of the streets were i'm
passable for a few days but the en-
terprising citizens volunteered for
actual labor and in a surprisingly
short time the wreckage was cleared
away. Notwithstanding the most I'M
seasonable weather of the last two
weeks in June and the early July
days the village is rapidly putting on
her summer dress and the boats and
trains as well as private cars are
bringing visitors and summer resi-
dents every day.
The seagoing yacht Lyndonia,
owned by Cyrus H. X. Curtis of
Philadelphia is in the harbor, a fore
runner of the arrival of Mr. and Mrs.
Curtis who have a lovely little place
on Beauchamp Point, Rockport,
where they spend a long season.
Their daughter, Mrs. Edward Box
with Mr.. Box and family have al
ready arrived and are pleasantly es-
tablished in their Beauchamp Point
place, and during the season they
spend much of the time at their camp
on Lake Megunticook just about
three miles from the village. Their
son made his first appearance in the
pitchers box during the past week,
pitching for the Camden nine against
a team from Lewiston. While yet
but youngster, he gives promise of
being heard from in college sports.
Camden seems to attract magazine
publishers for in addition to Mr.. Cur
It's and Mr.. Box of the Curtis Pub
fishing Company, II. n. Winsor, edi-
tor of The Popular Mechanics, also
owns a place here and has already
arrived for the season, with his fam
lily.
