COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO THE Pres

COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO THE PRESS -
Yesterday afternoon the members of the
Portland press and the representatives of the
City Government were invited to compli-
mentary dinner at the Ottawa House on Cush-
ings Island. The day was charming and the
sail down the harbor refreshing to the sojourn-
ers in the heated and dusty city The party
were handsomely entertained by Mr.. Thomas
Gushing, the proprietor. After suuptuous
repast a few toasts were proposed. The first,
"Our Country" was briefly responded to by
Mayor Kingsbury. The second, "The Press"
was responded to by Mr.. Gosse OF the Argus,
who thought the representatives of the press
had no ideas to spare for the occasion The
next, "The Board of Trade and Education
was responded to by A P. Stone, Principal Of
the High School. Mr.. Pickard, of the Tran
script. was summoned to say something for
"The ladies'" respecting which subject he
pleaded his entire ignorance. "Our Host
called forth few words from Mr.. Gushing
All agreed that for summer residence the
Ottawa House was unsurpassed either in re-
gard to the beauty of the surrounding scenery,
the extent of the view, the refreshing sea
breezes, or last but not least the excellent
management of the house, the uniform cour-
tesy of the proprietor to his guests and his
efforts to promote their comfort.

First Mortgage Bonds

First Mortgage Bonds
of the Company pay per cent. Gold Interest,
free of Government tax, and are issued for the
very small amount of $4,000 per mile. For
the present, the unsold portion are offered at
95 and accrued interest. The attention of in.
vestors is invited to the fact that the road is
now nearly finished, and that the Security is
therefore entitled to high rank
In our opinion, no class of investments has
been found so uniformly safe and profitable as
First Mortgages on completed railroads.

The OPERATIc CONCERT was very thinly at
tended last evening, as is usual the case with
operate concerts in the summer season in
cities unless some great star is the attraction.
Brignoli has grown quite corpulent and Miss
McCulloch has grown mature in appearance
since they were last here. They sang the duo
"A Night in Venice very sweetly together.
Probably owing to the many vacant seats the
music did not sound as well as it would have
done with the house full, the voices in the trios
and concerted pieces not appearing to blend
together as perfectly as usual. Miss De
Gebe'e, who made her first appearance here'
has very good contralto voice albeit rather
nasal in information. The same criticism may
be said to apply to Miss McCulloch yet her
lower register is very good and she trills re-
markably we'll. Brignoli was in good temper
and responded to an encore. Signor Gloria
rendered the words from the Prophet on the
piano with good taste and expression. The
company go hence to Bangor.
