Benjamin Kicker of Eastport, police Of
fcer in that city, whose condnct in refusing to
arrest Eisman on telegram from here was
so questionable is out in letter in the East
port Sentinel in which he attempts to excuse
his conduct in the matter, denies that he show
ed Eisman the despatch and uses violent Ian
gnage concerning Deputy Sheriff-not City
Marshal-Parker who made the arrest. Els
man states distinctly that Kicker did show him
the dispatch il advance of his arrest, and Dep
uty Parker had no assistance in the matter
from this remarkable official All which goes
to show that Kicker entertains very eccentric
notions of the duties and obligations of his po-
sition, and has sympathy for offenders rather
too tender for the interests of justice.

PORTLAND CREW AT ST. JoHN,-The pull
ing of the Longshoremen of this city in the
recent race at st John, n. B., was almost
complete Had they really known what was
in them, they might have beaten the Paris
crew and won the race. As it was they came
IN second and gave the victorious crew nara
pull A correspondent of a Boston paper thus
refers to them: Before they were mile away
the Portland oarsmen had opened clear water
on the Paris crew, and began varying from their
course slightly. AT the turn the Portlands lost.
They were to turn from port to starboard while
the others by the custom were to round their
separate stakes from starboard to port. They
being nearest the Paris crews stake and having
to cross their bow to get where they belonged
with not enough water, they had to give at
least three rowing lengths to prevent foul.
BY this the Paris crew turned first, and the
McLarens, by splendid turn, and making a
length clean, second. They were all well to-
gether and no fouls had happened, The Port
land crew started after the turn for brush with
the Paris, but their competitors took up the
squirt at the same time, and not only lost half
a length before both were ready to settle down
to about 3S stroke. The three miles were
made in a small fraction less than IS minutes,
anc the result shows warm contest.
This conclusion of the race was laconically
described by Twig, the bow oar of the Long
shoremen, "What crew was that beat us?" he
asked the judges, as his boat rowed up TO the
steamel. He was told the Paris crew. Twig
replied: "We are only Yankee amateurs, but
| guess that was the hardest three quarters of a
length they ever won by, when we beat them
out of every squirt going to the upper stake,
gave them three lengths at the turn and then
closed up; we concluded it was some other
crew." 1t was the hardest race the Paris crew
ever were victorious in and their appearance
at the close showed they did not come up in
their usual fine condition while the Longshore-
men were perfectly fresh aud did not pull all
that was in them.
The crew will arrive home on the Falmouth
