| the extreme edge of the road in
order to allow Miss Cartwright to
pass when she, an inexperienced
| driver, failed to make the corner
| successfully and crashed into him
| just back Of the left forward wheel
| The damage to Mr.. Mobiles machine
consisted of smashed hub cap.
crumpled mud guard and a dent in
| the body just above the running
board, while the New York car
escaped unframed except for a
slightly bent bumper. Mr.. Noble
was clearly In the right, according
, to witnesses, and no blame whatso-
ever is attached to him for the
crash. At 8 O'Clock Sunday evening
a party of three young men from
Boothbay Center in Chevrolet car
came tearing down the road at an
extremely high rate Of speed and,
being unfamiliar with the road, were
not aware of the corner until too
| late to slow down. The result was
| that they left the road, went down
over a high embankment, missing a
| tree only by inches. and landed right
side up among bushes and rocks. 1t
was only by a miracle that the car
| failed to turn over and either Kill or
/ seriously injure the occupants. After
| considerable work the machine was
once more restored to its proper
| place in the road and was found to be
unchanged save for a tire which
had blown out. These two affairs,
with the wrecking Of VIII Dodges
| truck on the Linekin road last Tues
| day evening, constitute total OF
three accidents for the past week, a
larger number than has ever before
taken place in any one summer.

The entertainment prior to the
dance last Saturday night was pre-
sented by the members Of the mouse
| marty at the Stevens cottage and the
delightful little half hour was given
before a crowded house. 1t con-
sisted of several acts embracing
singing, dancing, character I'M
personations and jokes. Each of the
nine girls were extremely good in
their part and no particular word OF
merit may be said Of any OF them,
although the Bowery dance made
big hit with the audience. The
Young ladies in their white sailor
suits made a charming picture and
| their offerings drew much applause
| from the audience, and deservedly
so. One of the evenings features
were two accordion solos by John b.
| Stevens, who, while only a young
ster. proved himself very efficient
on this difficult instrument. The
regular weekly dance followed with
music by Pierce and the entire party
was one of the most enjoyable as
well as the largest Of the season.
The feature for Saturday night or
this week will be one act comedy
entitled, Jerry" and presented by an
all star cast of Pointers, including
such well known luminaries as Bam-
ford Rogers, Virginia Clark, Eleanor
wilcox and Jack Clark. The cast
has been working hard and the re-
suit of their efforts will probably
be second to nothing now playing on
