mails, r spublsan as well as Democratic, which

the part of the President if he had committed
it, will be as prompt in making the correction.

game was played last evening by Geo. Swasey
and Joseph Bonney, and resulted in favor Of
Bonney, the score standing at the close 800 for
Bonney to 37 for Swasey. Bonnsy's average
run was 1 3 and Swasey's5. The game lasted
about an hour and three quarters and was not
marked BY any very great runs. Bohney made
some very fine round-the-table shots and s wa
sey some excellent follow shots.

by Swasey and III. Smith, and the closing game

ants being Shiel of Portland and G. e. Smith

Letter from Old Orchard beach.

Letter from Old Orchard Reach.
OLD ORCHARD BRAcH, Aug. 8, 1869.
To the Editor qfthe Press: s.s. as4s,s,, )
In my last spoke of some OF the attractions
of this popular seaside resort, and now justice
dictates that should tell how one may reach
here and be cared for after his arrival Ifyou
have but one day to spend, take the 6.15 A. M.
train from Portland and in thirty minutes you
will find yourself at Saco, by which time you
will doubtless have an appetite to appreciate
the good things "mine host Cleavers and Son
always set before their guests at the Saco
House. After breakfast you will take seat
in one OF Lttlefeld's comfortable carriages
which will be in readiness at the door and .
pleasant drive Of four miles will bring you to
the "beaeh" before the heat of the day has
overtaken you Arrived here you will find
plenty of Hotel Accommodations, Of which the
sold Orchard House. is the largest, containing
one hundred and fifty rooms. Two hundred
guests are stopping here at present. This
house is in convenient proximityfto the beach
and sufficiently elevated to give a fine view
from the extensive yeranda. g. You will no.
tice Wood Island and the @Pools at the right
and Prouts Neck at the left, while the beach
stretches from the latter nearly reaching the
former. sGs so 3ssass s-i.4tas
You will not find here the aShoddy" Of New
port and Long Branch but "fair women and
brave men, useful as well as ornamental, with
children enough to make a pleasing variety
fill the honse.d sd1 asjv szaIia3 al I'll 2.sfss3
The hotels arsa neat, orderly and the tables
wen supplied with the Injuries Of the season,
and what is likely to be Of interest to all, the
charges are moderate. The Goihams House,
affords entertainment close on the beach, while
the Ocean House and Russell House are more
retired and have facilities for rolling nine pins
billiards, as well as fol strolling or driving on
the beach, or bathing in the surf After din
ner . visit should be made to that quiet retreat
Fern Park of which I spoke yesterday and
which was much frequented evenbefore the
late Improvements were made. qnYou cam take
tea here or at the Saco House and return by
the 7.20 r. Nj. or 10 train and my word for IT.
though the stay is much too short, you will
not regret having visited Old O .chard. 8; ~
