Dun AGED Cr1zEns.--It is earnestly hoped
that there will be a large turn out of our aged
citizens at Reception Hall, City Building, this
afternoon at o'clock to perfect the arrange
ments towards forming permanent organiza-
ton, and also to unite in arranging for the pic
mic and excursion to the islands. At the
meeting last Saturday evening there were
twenty present, and the average age was 1912
years, without adding months or days,-the
eldest being 81 and the youngest 65. ~. !.
What "reminiscences cannot these old men
conjure up? What changes has the city un-
dergone within the memory even of the
youngest? Why it seems as if chronicler Of
tie proposed excursion could weave a tale
from the varied scenes in their lives as told by
them, that would surpass in interest the de-
scription of the most elaborate entertainment,
given in honor of the most distinguished visit
ors, that the city could provide. By all means
let there be a chronicler, and one from out OF
their own number. la l..ii,I ~ l.

~ The Row ON SH1PBoARD.-The item about
the row on shipboard in yesterdays paper re-
fected uDjustly, as we have since ascertained,
upon the officers in command of the boat. 1t
seems that the boat had come in from sea on
Friday afternoon, and Capt johnson gave the
crew liberty that afternoon, as is customary,
and left for few hours on business, leaving
the second officer in charge. During the Cap
tain's absence drunken crew came aboard
and made the disturbance which we reported.
1t was in no wise the fault of the Captain, and
being matter which he could not prevent,
ought not to reflect upon his discipline.

PERsoNAL.-Mr. Daniel Cummings Of Mis-
souri,, former resident of this State, who at
tended old Preceptor Cushman's school at the
time when the present First Parish church
was built in 1925, is now on q visit to his
friends in this State for the first time in near
ly thirty years, he having left here in Novem-
BIS. 1889. At the time he went from here to
Missouri, there were no railroads in the State
with the exception of little line from Bangor
to OldtowD, and none in the United States
with the exception Of the ono from Boston to
Worcester, and possibly from Boston to Low
oil, and such thing as telegraph, line was
scarcely thought Of. The changes that he wit
nesses on this visit to his native State are over
whelming. He took the first toll that passed
over the bridge at Lewiston and was relating
that fact the other day when one Of his hearers
remarked, what an old man you must be. .

BAND CONCERT. If any one wishes to hear
tAe Portland Band to particular advantage let
them station themselves down by the arsenal
when they are playing up at the further ex-
tremity of the Western Promenade, and listen
to the sweet strains as they are waited to the
ear on the gentle evening breeze. Last even
ing they played with great expression and feel
ing, particularly the Andante and Waltz of
Heinecke, and the operate selections. The
Cavalry Camp Serenade is also great favor
lite. These outdoor concerts are doing more
to cultivate and elevate the taste for music
among the people than the subscribers perhaps
have any idea Of, and we trust that in future
years the city government will make regular
appropriation for this object
