who wero dally visitors at tho ladles' camp.
On tho nftornoon of July 'J CInuda Austin and
John Nicholson took their boat and rowed
down to the Morgan cottage, whsro the ladles
ware, und left their boat on tho boach. Later
three joung men from Cuba stopped at tho
cottage nnd took some of the girls out rowing
in ths boat, aud on thoir return got a calling
down for taking the boat without leais. Tl oy
loft their horse outside and went Into the cot
tage. When thoy wore ready to return home
they found their. horse hitched up with Its
head whero its tall should have been and the
wheels of the carrlagejchaiiied around, This
was tho work of Austin nnd Nicholson. On
Friday night thev came up ai.aln. this time
riding thcli wheels. Again they took the boat
.vltbout leave and went for a row, and again
went Into the ijottage for the evening, leaving
their wheels emtsulo Vt a little after 11
