LAST FRIDAY.
The Hotel Closed Tuesday, after a
Successful Season.
On Tuesday the Peaks Island House
was officially closed, after experienc
ing a successful summer's business.
It is definitely known that at no
spot in the whole Bay Is there such
a far-famed hotel, where the con
venience and comfort of the guests
are so well looked out for, where serv
ice is always the motto, where such a
bountiful supply of delicious food is to
be had, and where a more enjoyable
summer can be spent, than at this
popular hotel, by far the leading hotel
of the Bay. At this house, which is
one of the social centers of the island,
many entertainments have been given
this season by the management for
th enjoyment of its guests, which is
but one of the many ways which it
offers for pleasure to its large clien
tele. These programs have been pre
sented by talent of exceptional ability,
and it has been much appreciated by
the guests. The hotel is ideally situ
ated in the center of all the activities
of the island, and contains an un
rivalled view from its large piazza,
which its guests delight to sit on.
The European plan adopted this sea

been accommodated here this senHon.

delightful affair at "The Barn House"
on Wednesday evening, in honor of
her daughter, Miss Sarah Clarke. After
the twenty-five or thirty guests had
assembled, some were assigned the
part of "audience," others were chosen
for one side to act charades, and still |
others made up the opposing team of
charade actors. The first side acted
the word "masticate" in a way which
pleased everyone. Their scenery and
costumes were amusing and cleverly
ar.anged. The second «ide a^ted the
word "aeroplane" in such a funny way
that the audience was almost ovei*

ades, delicious refreshments were
served. Then Mr. Herbert Cortovan,
