DEATH OF JOHN PARKER BoYD.-John P.
Boyd, ESQ.,, one of our oldest native born cti-
zense died at his residence in this city yester-
day in his 80th year, after brief illness. Mr..
Boyd was member of q somewhat numerous
family of that name, the descendants OF Robert
AMI Joseph Coffin Boyd, sons of James Boyd
of Newburyport They came to Portland about
1885 and engaged in mercantile pursuits,
Robert, the father of John P. continuing in
this occupation all his life and amassing a
handsome fortune. Not many years after he
came to Portland he purchased the estate on
the corner of Middle and Exchange streets and
erected the brick block which was destroyed
in the great fire of 1866. He occupied the cor.
ner store and after his death his two youngest
sons, Robert and Lendall G. s. Boyd contin-
ued in trade there for a number of years. MI.
Boyds wife was Ruth, daughter of Capt. Da'
vid smith, by whom he had six children-twe
daughters and four sons-of whom the deceas
ed was the eldest. He graduated at Bow
doin in the class of 1872. and studied law
with the late Chief Justices Shaw of Massachu
sets and Whitman of Maine, and afterwards
opened an office here, but never was conspicu
Gus in his profession. He was the first cashier
OF Casco Bank, and afterwards for short tint
President of Canal Bank, but his tastes lead
ing him to prefer the quiet of home life, and
his means enabling him to crafty that desire
he resigned the position in 1886, and since thai
time has held life Of leisure. About three
years ago his wife, to whom he was devotedly
attached, was removed by death, which be
reavement seriously affected him, and those
who are familiar with the straight and digni
fed form of Mr.. Boyd in his daily walks
through the streets have observed the gradua
wasting OF physical energy, the slow and fal
tering step, and the unmistakable signs of ap
preaching dissolution. Mr.. Boyd was a char
ter member of the Ancient Landmark Lodg,
Of Masons, and also a member of the AGED
Brotherhood

FoREios PASSENGERS. The returns Of the
Custom House of passengers arrived at this
port from foreign ports by steamers for the
quarter ending on the Both of June are as fol-
lows:
The Portland daily press., 1871-07-21

The immigration fo- this period numbers
1910, of which 593 came from Nova Scotia,
chiefly by the Halifax line of steamers, being
an average OF about twenty three for each trip;
and if We add the number of non i'm igtants,
the people doug business between the Prov.
ince aud the States we have an average pas
senger list for each trip Of these steamers of
fOrty-two passengers; which shows tie increas-
ing tendency of the people of Nova Scotia to-
wards the States. The freight returns of this
line would show still more material Increase
of business between these sections. When
the Carlotta and Chase were put upon the
route, in 1867, the freight business with the
States was absolutely nothing. Wood was
often purchased at Halifax for ballast, brought
to this port, duties paid, and sold at prices
which did not remunerate the vessels. Now
the freights from Halifax are uniformly good,
and composed of the productions of the prov
ince. Frequently the steamers are heavily
loaded, while the passenger and immigrant
business has increased in a corresponding de-
gree. We quote these imperfect statistics, in
the very dullest season of the year, to show
that the business of Portland with the Prov
land has been gradually and steadily inereas-
ing. In a Jew months larger and more COM
modious boat is to be put upon the line to
answer the increasing demands of trade.

To the Editor of the Press:
This heretofore quiet village is beginning to

the advantages offered by railroad. Mr..
Morton is making a large addition to his store,
intending to compete with Portland in the sale
of heavy goods. The iron bridge across the

cut over forty tons OF hay the present season,
about one halt the usual quantity. His barn
which is one hundred and fifty feet long, has
rather an empty appearance compared with
more productive years. Those interested in
farming would find an hour spent in looking
over the farm Of Judge Eastman and getting

thereto Ito farming not the court) profitably

The ATLANTA HARVARD Boar RACE AT
SPRINGFIELD.-Fullerp particulars of the boat
race of Wednesday appear in the Boston pa
pers On account of the rough water which
had prevailed for two days, the race did not
begin until six O'Clock, when there was only a
ripple. The Harvards having won the choice
of position took the western side, and at TWEEN
ty minutes past six the crews were off, There
was brief struggle for the lead, both pulling
forty five strokes to the minute, but in three
minutes the Atalantas had clear water and
were drawing ahead steadily. Then both cas-
ed off to forty strokes minute, the Atalantas
continuing to gain gradually, and thus they
went until about halfway up the course, when
the Harvards spurted up to forty-four and
gained length, reducing the lead to about
four lengths. Withers called on his ere W,
however, and they soon regained all II ey had
lest, widened the gap still more, and came in
winners by minute and three seconds, in IS.
10 L. The number of spectators was small
being less than attended the first day. The fol-
lowing is summary:
SUMMARY.
Ingleside Course, Wednesday, July 10, 1871 Six
Harvard University crew and The Atlanta crew Of
New York city.
ATLANTA crew-Russen Withers (stroke), Theodore
Van Raden. Leander W aterbury, Henry 3. Leroy,

Harvard University crew-George Bass OF Chicago,

q. l. Jones OF Tempeton, 7l; William Loing OF
Boston. 72; W. T. Sanger of Cambridge, I'll; N. G..
Read Of Cambridge, III (sroke). Time-19 minutes
223 seconds. ---
The weights of the individual members of
the Atalanta crew are given as follows: With
ers, $50; Van Raden, 147; Waterbury, 149; LIE
Roy, las; Handy, 1877; Smith, 1876. Average,
143 Their boat is As feet long. 20 inches wide,
812 inches deep, and was built by George
Roahr of New York.
The Harvard men give their weights as fol-
lows: Bass, 1867; Tucker, 154; Jones, 156;
Loring, 100; Sanger, 100; Reed, 1877. Average,
1A, within fraction. The dimensions of
their boat, which was built by Blake of Cam
bridge, are as follows: Length, 40 feet; width,
20 IL inches; depth, 9 inches.
A comparison of the time with that of the
recent race between the Atalantas and the
Yale sophomores on Lake Saltonstall shows
the Yalensians did better with the New York
ers than the Harvard men, the figures being
1906 IL for the Atalantas and 49, Is 2 for the
Yale crew.
