PIGEON COVE 
CA °F ANN. Again, the weather disturber has visited 
this section during the past week and caused the rain 
and fog to mar the out-door pastimes considerably. ‘The 
disagreeable weather has interfered much with the arrival 
of the August hotel guests. The tea house veranda is less 
frequented while the bathing beach and the golf course 
are also not so well patronized. One popular hotel on the 
Cape had steam heat turned on Monday and it was com- 
fortable at the end of the cape where the east wind 
sweeps in and “takes hold” of the summer visitor not so 
well acclimated to the invigorating atmosphere. It is a 
matter of considerable conjecture as to when Lady Fair- 
weather will come and smile pleasantly upon us for an 
extended season. 
Gloucester Day has been set for Tuesday, August 17, 
almost two weeks hence, and the Gloucester Day Com- 
mittee and Ladies’ Auxiliary are making preparations for 
the observance of the day that shall prove of interest and 
enjoyment to all citizens and summer folks. Among the 
notables who will attend are the Italian Ambassador and 
Countess Cellere of Beverly Farms, and most likely, the 
Engish Ambassador and family, who are summering at 
Manchester, providing other arrangements do not conflict. 
Mayor Barrett has written to the department at Wash- 
ington, asking that one or more ships be sent here for 
the observance. The proceeds to be derived from the 
booths at Stage Fort Park on Gloucester Day will be 
given to the Huntress Home on Prospect street. Some of 
the old ladies at the home are at present making some 
fancy work for the tables. Mrs. John Hays Hammond, 
who is very much interested in the Huntress Home sent 
in a check of $1co recently to the trustees, for the Home. 
The Gloucester Suffragists will have a tent on the park, 
Gloucester Day and they have kindly volunteered to look 
after and entertain the aged ladies from the Huntress and 
Gilbert Homes, who will be special guests of the day. 
Jchn Hays Hammond, a member of the celebration com- 
mittee has offered a silver cup to be competed for, be- 
tween two baseball teams at the park on that day. Other 
cups by prominent citizens will be offered: for the most 
attractively decorated booth, and second best decorations, 
also for the best trades exhibit. Among the decidedly 
interesting attractions, directly from the Hippodrome, 
New York, are the five acrobats who perform 50 feet in 
air and the “hay wagon,” one of the funniest stunts

A notable occasion in Gloucester on Monday of this 
week was the 47th annual reunion of the Fight Massach- 
setts Regiment, Veteran association. The members of 
this association are the veterans of one of the first regi- 
ments to answer the call for troops in 1861 and Company 
G, the local “minute men” of the civil war, was a part of 
the organization. Following the business meeting 1t 
Grand Army hall on Washington street, the association 
and guests took a’ special car for Briar Neck, where a 
fine dinner was served at Good Harbor Beach Inn. 
The state armory on Prospect street was the scene of 
a brilliant gathering on Thursday evening last, when the 
crew of the U. S. S. Dolphin at anchor in the harbor, 
gave a grand ball to the citizens of the city of Gloucestez 
Post 45. of the Grand Army of the Republic and its 
kmdred organizations, officers of the Dolphin, many sum- 
mer residents and visitors from out-of-town. Fully 1200 
people were present at this grand social function, Com- 
mander Lincoln and executive officer, Lieut. Hardigan 
gave every assistance to their men for this great success. 
The Dolphin orchestra, under the efficient direction of 
G. De Giorgio, rendered the music of the evening. ‘he 
armory was gorgeously decorated with flags of. nations 
except those at war, and pennants. At intermission re- 
freshments of ice-cream and cake and lemonade were ser- 
ved and ladies were presented with carnations.
