Maritime Live Eels For Boston Market

HALIFAX. N. S.. Dec. 20 - Thousands of Christmas dinners. nearly 50,000 pounds of live tots, left here over the weekend by Canadian National Express for Boston. reports R. A. "Gordon. Supt of the Atlantic Division of the company, of Moncton. They are on their way to the festive tables of the Italian people in New England

While today eel-s are a. delicacy to European: in Canada and the United States, says Mr. Gordon. indications are that they were equally palatable to our Canadian Indians before the Europeans first landed in North America. On thq Lahavc River. where scme of the eels were caught today, still stand: an old V-ohaped atom.- dam built by the Indiana and which caught and held the eels.

The maiority of the eels are caught at Liverpool and at Bridge- water. he said. Traps. generally some form of weir, are placed at favourable spots about seven miles above tide water. The Italians like to buy their Christmas dinners alive and the Canadian National Express sees to it. that they "get them that way. To keep them guve a block of ice is placed in thd centre of a barrel and the eels packed around around it.

Perhaps the reason w-hy the eat- ing 0t eels by Canadians is not more general is due to the tlmidity of our ‘wives, thinks Mr. Gordon;

when the eels are placed iri the

frying pan they wiggle and almost

it. This is due to the

of their muscles. If

yeu don't believe it ask your wife

lo try it-if she will.

Many Prince Edward islanders Will be interested in a recent news item from New York, announcing the marriage of the Princess Fran- cesca Rosplgllosl, daughter of Princess Laura Rospigiiosi, of Palm Beach, Florida, to Mr. Alex- ander Schmidt. a captain of East- ern Air Lines and prominent in fifty York and Palm Beach soc- 1'-

Prlricess Laura. mother of the brldl‘. is a daughter of the late Mrs, Edmund Stalio and grand- daughter of the late Alexander MacDonald, vice president of the Standard Oil Company, the orig- inal owner of Dalvay-by-the-Sea. in what is now the Prince Edward Island National Park.

Mr. MacDonald built Dalvay in 1896 for a summer residence here, calling it after his birthplace in Scotland and his palatial home in Cincinnati, Ohio. His only dough- ter, Beatrice, married Edmund Stailo, son c! the Italian Ambass- ador to the United States at. that time. To this union were born three children, - a boy who died in infancy, and two girls, Helene. who married Count Murat of France, and Laura. who morrlctl Prince Rospigiiosi of Italy .

Spent Summers Here

As children the Misses Helene and Laura, who were educated by English and French governnesses, spent their summers here at. Dill- vay. Each spring their saddle horses arrived from their home in Cincinnati, Ohio. also their coach- man, Thomas Horgan. On the premises for use of the family and guests were kept. basket phaetoirs, double seated carriages, jaunting carts and coaches.

_Tlre girls, with their grandpar- ents, Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald. were regular attendants on Sun- day mominga at the West Cove- head Presbyterian Church.

Miss May MacDonald. who nurs- ed Mr. MacDonald during an ill- ness here. remained with the fam- ily for many years. travelling with them on their trips abroad. she later married Judge McQuarrie, of Summerside, where she resided un- til her death.

Miss Laura's personal maid. Rose, was u- native of Paris. She

and William Hughes, the caretalr. er o! the est-ate, fell in love and were married, and subsequ My °¢¢11Dl¢d a cottage nearby.

Mr. MacDonald died in 1910 at, Long Beach, California. having be- queathed many millions to each granddaughter, as well as Dalvay- by-the Sea. Mr. Btallo, executor of the will, was unfortunate in his investments, and practically all their holdings were lost.

Last Vlslt In 1915

The last visit of any of the Mac- Donald family here was in 1915. when Prince and Princess Rospig- ll05l $136M part of the summer at Dalvay. Because of the war the Prince was recalled to Italy, and Princess Laura, not wishing her children to be educated in Italy, returned to New York.

As no one was interested in keeping up the property in this Prflvlnve. Mr. Hughes purchased it very reasonably, and after three years sold it to William O'Leary. of Montreal, a brother of the late Bishop OLmry, who resided there during the summer. Subsequently it was purchased by Captain Ed- ward Dicks, who converted it into a summer hotel in’ 1931.

Hon. George D. DeBlois was the next owner, who in turn sold to the Federal Government in 1938. It was to become one of the chief attractions oi‘ the National Park. Mr. James MacFadyen, president of the North Shore Hot/cl Comp- flny. lease-cl and operated the re- sort for several years. It; is now be- ing operated by Mr. Wendell Worth.

A few pieces of furniture used by the lifacDonnld family still re- main. In the reception hall are two sanctuary chairs, which had been in use in an old cathedral in Italy. In the lounge room is a carved mahogany library table with glass sides, a solid mahogany table with beautifully carved legs. a brass floor lamp brought from "Daivay". Cincinnati, and a set of bronze andimns, imported from Nflw QFIBHM. but originally from France. It is said that a "Tallyho",

0MB drflvm by four horses and used by the MacDonald mmiiy, may still be seen on the estate,
