PoPHAM ogL gBRATIoN.
z a Great dccess.

Yesterday Aug. 29th, was one of the finest
DAVIS of the season. After the morning haze
passed away, the sun shone out in all its glory
The surface of the ocean was as smooth as
parlor floor Att IL o'clock, withsa not over
crowded but very pleasant party on board, the
steamer Warrior started from her wharf gtqq
Fort Popham, where was to come off the an
nual celebration Of the settlement of ancient
Sabine under the lead and auspices OF George
Popham Taking the inside routes and pass
ing through the labyrintlline passages sepai-
ating the islands Of Casco Bay, amidst scenery
scarcely inferior to that Of the Gay Of Naplcsr~
and leaving Harpsweli Point and Small , Point
aGd ON the left, and SegIin- looming up ma
je1tically from the surrounding ocean on the
right, the steamer arrived at Fort Pophana at
half past ten, and safely landed her living
freight.
Boats had already arrived from Richmond
Halowell and other Kennebec cities and
towns, and soon the boats and bargesI from
Bath, bringing large delegation from that
city, Brunswick, Lewiston, &C., arrived, and

peninsula and flowed awaygupon beach and
lawn, and through the interior of the fortress
walls There was an unusual air Of life and
activity impaired to that romantic though
usually quiet spot. The Marcena johnson
from this city via Harpswell, also arrived, SO
that, with steamers and sailing craft, the bay
presented picture Of marine life npt7oftens
witnessed in that locality. There must have
been gathered there. from the plaeel na,nad
and from the surrounding towns. not less than
three thousan,lne,soas. TT seemed ii NJ tbot
