give US platform touching some of the things

AT six o'clock on the 10th of June
portion of the Maine Historical Society
embarked on the steamer City OF Port
land for an excursion to st. John. The first
stop was made at Eastport, where the hospl-
talties of the city were rendered by the au-
thorities; but time did not permit of their ac-
ceptance. On the afternoon of the 18th the ex-
cursionists arrived at St. John. This dingy
but vigorous city is the largest in New Bruns-
wick, if not in the Maritime Provinces, COD
tanning with its suburb of Portland 10000 in
habitants. 1t was prospected originally by
Champain in 1904 In 1854 it was occupied as
trading post by La Tour, and for many years
was defended by him against the Catholic in
auence under DAulnay at Port Royal But it
was first really peoped in 1888 by the Ameri-
can Loyalists.
Situated on the east side of the bay it ex-
tends in meandering way over hill and ho-
low, encompasspg good exteut of territory,
and embracing large number OF houses and
shops, mostly of very humble and somewhat
shabby appearance. Some one has said that it
contains nothing worth seeing except the Mar
tello Flower, and the Suspension Bridge over
st. John River. Besides these, however, the
Victoria Hotel, the new Post Office in course of
erection, the Lunatic Asylum, the Catholic
Cathedral, and several other churches are
ouiiuiuSS uO1 uuWOIluy VI Inc Culel City VI 1ho
Province.
After nights rest at the Victoria Hotel, a
portion of the party, on the morning of the
18Th, started for an excursion up the st. John
to Fredericton. by the steamer Rothsay.
The river is of ample breadth and we'll sup
piled with water. Its banks for the first part
OF the course bold and striking, gradually dim
inish in height and become quite low. After
passing twenty eight landings we arrived at
Fredericton at half past o'clock p. m. Dis
lance "a miles.
Fredericton is the political capital of New
Brunswick, and its chief importance arises
from this fact. Here is the Governor Palace,
the Parliament Houses, the Provincial Expo
stion Building, the Soldiers Barracks, and
Bishops Palace and Cathedral. Here, too, we
see government officials with an extra growth
of side whiskt rs, and ladies with unusually
long trains sweeping the sidewalks Com
pared with st. John Fredericton is small
town (of about 5000 inhabitants) but is much
heater and prettier Saturday 10Th we re-
turned to st. John. HERTERosCIAN.

A PORTLAND MAN.-The Lawrence Mass. J
journal and Citizen has the following in re-
gard to the grounds of Mr.. Sumner G. Stanley,
formerly of this city:
MI. Stanley gives his personal attention to
the Improvement and adornment of his grounds
and to the breeding of useful domestic ami
mails He has recently had constructed Cir
cular tsh pond which it is his intention to
stock with gold aud silver fishes and other spe-
cles OF the tinny ttibe. Mr.. Stanley is a con-
nolsseur in ducks, and has some of the finest
breeds toodlng about his yard and swimming
around his pond His Pekn ducks-a very
rare breed, are universally admired. He has
also some fine specimens Of the muscovy duck.

ture career as PAGER.

The Fourth of July.

The majority of our readers have ere this
read the programme for the celebration of the
Fourth of July in this city. The programme
is the result of long and earnest labor on the
part of the committee, and certainly does credit
to them. The bells of the several churches
will be rung at sunrise, noon and sunset. Ma
tional salutes will be fred at morning and
night. The rowing regatta at 8 o'clock will
attract large number Of persons to the
wharves to see the sport.
AT 9 o'clock games of base ball will be played
on the Western Promenade, also at g. At 10
o'clock the grand procession will move. Up
wards of ten military companies will join in
the procession, and together with the decorated
steam fire engines, and the several civic orders
in their snowy uniforms, the sight will be a
grand one.
In the afternoon the lovers of boating will be
in the harbor to witness the sailing regatta.
The course is such as to keep the yachts in
sight OF the city all the while. Several steamers
will be at the wharves during the day to take
parties down the harbor on excursions.
The whole of the grand celebration will con-
elude with the display of fire works in the
evening, which promises to be the finest ever
seen in the state,
The fact that there is to be no celebration
east of us, seems to indicate that a large num-
Der will visit the city on that day. The railroad
and steamboat companies will carry passengers
at reduced rates on that day.
1t will without doubt be the best celebration
that Maine has seen for years, and our friends
from out of town should not fail to participate
in il.

day forenoon an exciting scene took place on
Temple street in front of the Adams House.
1t seems that Mr.. ODonnell, who is stopping
at the hotel with his family, met MIR. Kane,
who he had reason to believe had been talking
mischief to his wife. After short talk in re-
gard to money matters they got into fight.
O'Donnell is much the smaller man, but he
succeeded in giving Kane good thrashng.
Kane drew loaded revolver but did not fire it,
Officers Miles and Hanson arrested both of the
men and took them to the station, where Mar
shall Parker heard the case 1t is not known
as yet how it will terminate. Kane says he
meyer had any conversation with Mrs. O'Don-
nell in regard to the matter in question.

The report was accepted with storms of ap-
plause. Mr. Talbot made speech with mo-
ton to make the nomination unanimous.
Several gentlemen were called on to speak as
there was some spare time. Hon. J. c. Mad-

plause. Indeed there was any amount of
shouting at this stage of the meeting. At
little after four the convention adjourned.
In point of numbers and makeup the con-
