Fortieth Years Ago in Bath Concerts and Local Ventures
Forty years ago in Bath, August 1893, a grand Casino concert on Squirrel Island featured Mme Wyse Fournier and Bostonians soloists. An athletic exhibition was planned for August 12 at the Alameda. Bath businessman Henry Howard plans to shift from Hoyt's express to bottled soda manufacturing, with James Hogan a likely successor. The Boston Band of 36 pieces is touring for the Squirrel Island celebration, while weather dampens social events at the Alameda. Sagadahock Grange organized an excursion to the National Home at Togus aboard the steamer Wiharna, facing heat on their trip.
