PAGE TWO THE BREWSTER STANDARD FRIDAY, AUGUST 8. 1930
PEACH LAKE
August has been ushered In with a
spell of record hot weather and more
people than ever are flocking to the
lake to And relief from the heat. Good
size crowds are In the water every afternoon
and evening at all of the Peach
Lake beaches and the dances are being
very well attended at the several
dancing pavilions. There are many
new faces at the lake this week as the
July vacationists have returned to
their city homes and those who are
to spend August here have just arrived.
If the clear warm weather continues
August will be a big hustling
month at Peach Lake.
The weekly card parties at Vail's
Grove are becoming more popular each
week and friends and guests from all
the surrounding country can be seen
playing bridge at Peach Lake on Friday
evenings. Nearly a hundred people
played in competition for sixteen prizes,
all practically suited for vacationists
and cottage dwellers. Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. Colegrove of New York, were the
hostesses for the evening and prepared
exceptionally delicious refreshments
including homemade cake which was
a treat to the cottage people who do
little or no baking while at the lake.
The hostesses next week will be Mrs.
Elbert C. Purdy of Croton Falls and
Mrs. A. A. Bert of Tonkers, both of
whom have been vacationing at Vail's
Grove for many years.
The first annual cabaret of the Pequenaconck
Country Club will be held
Friday evening, Aug. 8, at the Bloomerside
pavilion. Miss Fine, a New York
City stage star, will be in charge of
the entertainment and has spent several
weeks training a bevy of beautiful girls
who will entertain with singing and
dancing at various times during the
evening. Miss Anita Cronk has been
in charge of talent enrollment and
table reservations at Bloomerslde and
Mrs. Henry Haas at Vail's Grove.
Many tables have been reserved and a
big evening is expected by all at the
lake.
Great interest is being taken by the
campers at Pietsch's in their newly
formed organization, the Pietsch's Gardens
Association .The committee in
charge of activities have planned an
> •
&
/ ^
elaborate and Interesting program of
events which are to take place during
the remainder of the summer. Last
Thursday evening the Association held
its first hot dog and corn roast on
Tea Gardens Point, a little piece of
land that Juts out into the lake from
Pietsch's shore. After the food had
been served and eagerly consumed'the
campers were entertained and led In
singing by several stage people who
are spending a few weeks at the lake.
The point was a beautiful sight when
seen from various parts of the lake as
it was brilliantly lighted by Japanese
lanterns hanging from the trees.
One, two, three, four—one, two, three,
four will reverberate through the
Bloomerslde Auditorium for the next
ten days as Miss Dorothy Fine polishes
up the promising amateurs in preparation
for the Cabaret to be given in the
Bloomerslde Auditorium on Aug. 8, and
for the purpose of obtaining suitable
life saving equipment for Peach Lake.
Miss Fine, who has directed Junior
League shows and Cabarets for many
of the leading clubs of the East and
who recently has been coaching professional
units for Paramount, will have
the assltance of Miss Mildred Lord as
Chairman of Talent, and Mrs. Henry
Haas and Miss Anita Cronk as the
Chairman of Reservations for Vail's
Grove and Bloomerslde respectively.
Cover charge for the "Cabaret and
Dance',' something new in the form of
entertainment for Peach. Lake, will be
one dollar per person. Requests for reservations
have already been received
by the committee and for the convenience
of those who plan to'come, tables
of four may be reserved at an additional
charge of fifty cents per table. The
dance will begin at nine with the music
of the usual Bloomerslde orchestra under
the leadership of Eric Peterson who
now enjoys recognition throughout
Eastern collegiate circles and the cabaret
will be presented at ten thirty
o'clock. Mr. Bloomer and Mr. Vail are
very much interested in the show and
would be glad to assist in making reservations
for Friday evening.
The Cabaret will not interfere with
the usual events of next week; the club
bridge on Thursday night again, a full
quqarters worth of amusement in Friday's
showing of Clara Bow, the club

dance on Saturday evening following
the usual Saturday afternoon water
sports, Informal church meeting in the
Adultorium on Sunday evening, bowling
torunament on Monday and on Tuesday
a full night's sleep in preparation
for the Wednesday golf tournament and
evening dance.
The Masquerade on last Saturday was
a hugh success. Cowboys and tramps,
pirates and wild men, scare crows, buccaneers,
golfers and firemen, all came
out of their native haunts to spend the
evening and to admire the costumes of
their ravishing partners. Mrs. Grant
and Miss Sofle Manheimer took the ladies
best and original prizes. The troupe
of firemen, Bill Pabst, Bill Fowler and
Oscar Beverldge were awarded the
men's prizes although not one flame had
to be quenched all evening. Roy Farmer
and Young Curley were considered
by the judges, Mr .Bert and Mr. Bloomer,
as most worthy of the awards
among the junior boys, and Rea Halligan
and Shirley Gllmore among the
junior girls. Evelyn Pabst with the help
of her dog, Chum, took the children's
prize. Without exception the costumes
were very well done and we had a real
old fashioned ball.
The informal church service at the
Auditorium on Sunday evening was
conducted by Dr. Henry of Purdys. Dr.
Henry is well known and well liked
among the club members and each year
his service is anticipated with a great
deal of pleasure. Sunday night's service
was well in keeping with the usual tradition.
At the club bridge on Thursday evening
Mrs. Hohnberg scored well over
twenty seven, hundred to take first
place. Consistent with their usual high
scoring, Mrs. Haas and Mrs. Singer
took second and third. Mr. Singer, Mr.
and Mrs. Bert, Mr. Bowes and Mrs. Hilligan
were also included among the
winners.
There was a great deal of activity
on the golf course last week. On Wednesday
a monkey tournament for the
ladies was held and the foursome of
Mrs. Lucas, Mrs. Morris, Miss Mildred
Lord and Miss Anita Cronk, proved to
be the best monkeys. On Friday a
Scotch mixture foursome tourney was
held and again Miss Cronk won, this
time paired with Bill Pabst. The win­
ning team carded an 86 to beat out
Ann Miller and Vic Pennington by the
narrow margui of two strokes.
The bowling tournament on Monday
evening resulted in a drawn battle between
Mr. Grant and Mr. Rankin.' Rankin
finally won out with a score of
39 for the two strings .
' Nancy Nichols again won the junior
girl's dive In the usual Saturday water
sports. Beryl Lucas placed second In
the dive and again won the junior
swim, flashing to the finish ahead of
the Misses Bowes and Brown. Ray Perrault
beat out Harold Rose for first
place in the Junior boy's dive and for
second place In the swim. Junior Bowes
nosed out Ray in the swim. C. Nichols
topped the field of eight in the men's
dive getting the decision of the judges
by a small margin over Tommy Lord.
The canoe team of Lord and Mann
seems to be forging ahead to a pair
of season medals to be awarded on
Labor Day. Both the regular canoe
race and the upset canoe race were
taken by this team although Bouton
and Nichols and Maeser and Nichols
were close in each event. Lucas and
Bowes, Knox and Bowes were again
the winning teams in the v Junior girl's
and boy's races. Kenneth Bloomer and
Mrs. George Patten took pictures of
most of the fun with their movie
cameras and expect to have the films
ready to show by Friday of next week.
Mlnature golf courses are sweeping
New York state at the present time.
Every day sees from one to a half dozen
such courses incorporating and receiving
charters from Secretary of
State Flynn. Despite this, however,
stock companies incorporating show a
drop from a year ago this time. The
first seven months this year had 14,544
companies Incorporating, a slump of
1,928 from the same period last year.
Out of a total of 1,866 companies last
month there were 1,567 located in New
York City, leaving 299 outside the metropolis.
There were 25 real estate concerns
incorporated last month and 57
in garment making.

Kent Art Association's
Eighth Annual Exhibition
On Friday, the fifteenth of the present
month, there will open with an
afternoon reception tea, the eighth annual
exhibition of the Kent Art Association,
at Kent, Conn., in the Litchfield
Hill. The display, comprising oils,
water colors, sculpture and printscharacterized
by variety of sujbect
matter and interpretations, 2 to 6:30
p. m. d. 8. t., to September 1st, inclusive.
Through the forethouhgt and
genoroslty of one of the Association's
members a paricularly attractive setting
for the current offering has been
acquired, and a nucleus established,
which, it seems probable, will expand
Into a permanent home for exhibitions
representing Kent artists and guest exhibitors
who work in neighboring villages.
The gallery, situated about a mile
north of Kent station on the state
road, is one of the old district school
buildings, recently abandoned due to
the erection of an adequate "cenral
school" in he village. There is an ideal
pasoral setting and the neighborhood
is of historic Interest, for it is the se-c
tion of Kent that was incorporated in
1750, that is, the original village, settled
before railroads were thought of.
The church and mills along with several
fine Colonial houses, once a heart
of the township as originally settled,
have long since vanished. But, some
seven or eight of the old and handsome
homes still stand, Intact, framed
by superb tree-forms and eloquent of
the charm of early New England. The
little school from which generations of
New England youngsters have started
out to contact new problems, will continue
to offer food for thought to those
who seek, and, let us hope, to broaden
the vision of children of all ages.
'Jhe exhibition is sure to be vitally
interesting. The group's previous offerings
have attracted a large .and enthusiastic
public, standing out among
the most worthwhile of summer exhibitions.
It Is, by the way, at summer
exhibitions, held in rural commnities,
that some of the most spontaneous nd
colorful work shown in New York at
the height of the art season, makes its
initial bow to the public.
Some people know how to make such
good excuses that they don't try to do
