MOST SUCCESSFUL DANCE GIVEN
AT THE MERRICONEAG
HOUSE. SO. HARPS
WELL. FRIDAY.
Miss Helene Spalding and Miss Mar
garet Leal, assisted by Other Well
Known Ladies and Gentlemen
Conduct the Affair.
There l>ave been, during the past
decade, many and varied
ins parties given in and about beauti
7 Casco Bay. but certainly nothing
moit 'horoughly enjoyed or dist n
guished x>int of style and eclat
has been witn.^^^e than the ball
which graced the parU>ie^nd ha 8 "
k \e Merriconeag at South
*n Friday evening. ^ >
V It was given by Miss Helene Spaid
inV, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H.
Spalding of Winchester, Mass.. and
MLws Margaret Leal of Plain Held. N.
J., tfnd the elegance and enjoyment
which characterized the whole affair
was 4 fitting tribute to the efficiency of
the management. The pretty parlors
and targe dining room where the danc
ing to»k place, fairly sparkled with
the reflections of the flitting panorama
of youtt) and motion. Everything was
life and attion. Within, the sweet
strains o* tie two-step and waltz, dis
coursed *y Chandler's 1st Regt. or
chestra. uid«r the leadership of Mr.
Brooks. ixavM an inevitable attrac
tion to all -.o\Vs of Terpsichore. Even
the allurem -nt\ of the hotel piazza on
this beautif.il Yenlng failed to hold
the guests fr >mVjje greater attraction
of the dance roo\
The interior <V>rations are well
worthy of not. re .yd added much to
the success and \auty of the oc
casion. Over the w*0w easing and
on the walls, flags, yj oougjiS 0f
delicate green were and. inter- .
spersed through it a, was tj,e soft I
gleam of Japanese \orns tastily
arranged. In the an ».room fruit
punch and lemona'le served at
a booth throughout the *V,InK prom

Guests were ushered at the reception
by Messrs. Matthieu Jack Baker of
Portland. John S. Crowley of Beverly.
Mass. and Alfred Eastman L.unt of
Beverly. Mass.
The evening was most beautiful. 1
Every little while, dancers, drawn by \
the pounding of the surf on the rocks
below, and by the clear radiance of
the scene without, stole out and prom
enaded the piazzas. With these, the
cadence of the music merged into the
beating of the waves, or the faraway
vision <»f some dark island until every- :
thing seemed that harmony which can j
only be found at such a place near the
breath of old ocean.
It was after midnight when the party
broke up, each with genuine regret j
and the feeling of having spent
unique evening.
Much credit should be accorded to
the Misses Spalding and I>»al for 1
their energy and taste, and In the
general encomium the indispensable
i aid of Mr. A. H. Dickey and Mr. 1*. H.
I Striding, together with the hearty co
operation of all the guests, should not
be passed over. Carefulness of
preoaration. beauty of decoration and
brilliancy of execution all combined
to make the affair one not surpassed
in the memory of the oldest Inhabi

BASEBALL FANS COMPETE.
Colony Team Defeats Combination
from Two Harptwell Hotels.
The first ball game of the season
came off as scheduled Monday after
noon on the grounds of the Colony^
when the Colony team crossed bats
with a picked team from the Ocean
View and the Merrlconeag. The game
was replete with exciting and amus
ing episode*, among them being the
' leapfrog work at 1st t>ase, and the
amazing accuracy of the hotel"~tcem
out fielders. The game was charac
terized by the steady al-round work
of the Colony team, whose careful
practice of the previous week showed
definite results. The battery work on
both t»-ams was v*«ry satisfar tory. but
ih»- i»attin« w is rather in favor of th.*
Colony men. Although the noore
show* a wide divergence, the came
was by no means a sinecure. and af
forded much Interest. The piazza*
of th«* Colony cotta*#* were crowded
with spectators and the high wind
did not prevent the oc-aslonal hearty
applause from reaching the ears of
the ears of the contesting teams. The
hotel team are eager for another
game and It Is rumored are preparing
to do a little practicing on their own
account. The batting order follows:
