LAUNCHING PARTY.
On Monday evening of last
week, a delightful launching par?
ty was given by Mr. George Hud?
gins of New Point in honor of
Miss Hattie Hudgins of Winter
Harbor. The party steamed out
of Horn Harbor promptly at six
o'clock. After a delightful ride
of about an hour and a slight de?
lay of perhaps fifteen minutes,
the party landed on New Point
beach. A short call was made on
Capt. and Mrs. Marchant of New
Point Station. The remainder of
the stay was pleasantly spent in
various ways. Some hunted for
souvenirs, some strolled over the
sand beach, while others seated
themselves and inhaled the re?
freshing breeze to their heart's
content. At ten o'clock the par?
ty returned to the hospitable
home of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. O
wens where delicious ice cream
and cake were served. The par?
ty feel greatly indebted to Mr.
Hudgins whose kindness afforded
so much pleasure to all.
