The celebration of the 92d Anniversary of
American Independence in Portland will be
remembered as one of the most quiet and I'M
ostentatious that has ever taken place here.
Our city authorities did not expend much
money tor shows and parade, preferriDg to put
the amount into grand celebration when we
get Sebago Lake water into the CITY, Conse-
gently there were no inducements for people
frem the country to visit the city, and the in
fiux of people was the smallest we have ever
seen.
The usual noise of firing guns and pistols
commenced Friday night at II o'clock, and
was kept up for the remainder of the night.
National salutes were fired and all the bells
in the city were rung at sunrise, noon and sun
sek In the evening the two bapds-Portland
and Forest City -discoursed beautiful music
to crowds at the City Hall and in Congress
Square.
Hundreds Of our citizens took this opportu-
mtg the weather being extremely warm-to
visit the islands and the various water resorts
in our city.
The ladies of The Second Parish had a straw
berry festival at City Hall, which was open all
day. The attendance during the day was very
good, and III the evening it was quite large.
Lents New York Circus gave three exhibit
tons which were largely attended.
The browning celebration of the day was
that got up by Mr.. William Allen, on Deering
street His residence was beautifully iilumn-
ated, and some two or three hundred of his
friends were collected on the ground in the
rear tf his hoase, where quite a brilliant dis

score of 50 to TO- This will surprise our read
ers as the Uotons have reputation of being
very smart on the field, and have beaten many
clubs in Massachusetts,. The Androscoggins
played a splendid game, and shew many fine
points, but in justice to the Uptons we will
say that the game Was played on their old
grounds, which are not fit to play on, and on
which the Lewiston boys could defeat almost
any club We are informed that at Auburn
there is an excellent field on which the matches
are usual. played, and had the game been
contested there the result would have been
very different. The Uptons did not play with
any interest, and could not seem to get accus-
toned to the grounds. They took their defeat
with good grace, and remained in Lewiston
over the Sabbath.
