MR.. ARNoLp's BENEFIT.-This morning the
sale of seats for Mr.. Arnold's benefit opens at
the box Office. In order to do away with the
speculation of which complaint has heretofore
been made, no more than six tickets will be
sold to any one person. The committee repre-
senting the gentlemen who tender the benefit
have thought it best to slightly advance the
price of seats, as the extra expense in the mat
ter of costun mes, &C., will be large. This step
has been taken without consultation with IMr
Arnold and Mr.. Shaw. The high esteem in
which Mr., Arnold is held in Portland will en-
sure the sale of every seat.
The programme presented for the evenings
entertainment is very attractive one, embrac-
ing two fine plays and a concert The enter
tanment opens with Dances beautiful drama
of "a Wonderful Woman" in which Mr.. Ar
mold appears as the Marquis de Frontignac
This will be followed by the aria pardIte, by
Miss Blanche Ellermann, favorably known here
by her appearance in Fra Diavalo and the Bo-
hemian Girl, a recitation of John Cooper
Wallis fine poem of the actor, by Mr.. Bascomb,
and the singing of The Standard of the Watch,
and the Muleteer, from Crown Diamonds, by
Mr. Arnold The entertainment concludes
with the elegant comedy OF "Naval Engage
ments," with Mr.. Arnold as Lieutenant King

heartiest thanks of the stockholders, which
they tender to him with the expression of their
wishes for his continued strength and happi-
ness
Mr.. stevens made haste to renew his motion,
which was put, and in ten minutes the hall
door was locked and in half an hour stock
holders, proxies and spectators were on their
way home, the victors taking special via
Lewiston, and the others via Augusta.
1t will be seen by the vote that the Eastern
managers and their allies cast q 1916 votes, and
the old Maine Central managers 2670 Messrs.
Coburn, Alden and Jones were on both tickets.
At the conclusion of the meeting the new
Directors met and unanimously elected Gov.
Coburn, President; Mr. Woodbridge of the
Eastern. Vice-President; and Hon. j. b..
Drummond, Clerk.
Mr.. Stevens of Boston, who represents the
Hooper interest, declared that it is the policy of
the controlling interest in the new Board to
continue the peaceful arrangements with the
Boston & Maine. Other gentlemen made the
same statement. On the other hard, it is
asserted that such policy will only be nom
inally carried out, as the Eastern interest will
give station agents on the Maine Central orders
to give special through rates for traffic over the
Eastern.

SPRINKLING STREETS.-It may be thought q
little out of place such weather as this to speak
of sprinkling streets, but there is nothing like
being in time Capt. w. Ell. Hall, who has
done this work for several years, has been max
ing preparation for the coming season. The
water carts he has formerly used held but 800
gallons. He has built, the past winter, two
carts which hold 1900 gallons each. The cask
to hold the water sets upon four heavy springs.
The wheels are large and strong, iron hubs
being used. The iron work is done by u. M.
Stanwood of this city.
There are three patents on these sprinklers,
owned by L. f. Bancroft of Worcester, Mass,
and manufactured most exclusively by Geo. L.
Aitchison of the same place, one of the largest
manufacturers in the state. The strainer is SO
arranged as to shut off the side flow when de-
sired, thus avoiding the wetting OF carriages,
and at the same time sprinkle all other parts
of the street. This will save much fault.ind-
ing, and this mprovement-combined with
others-costs Capt. Hall 500 for each sprinkler
the whole costing 5000 each. They are to be
drawn by four heavy horses, the entire weight
being six tons. Capt Hall informs us that
there are 1900 of these sprinklers in use, tthe
city of Cambridge alone having 20.
Capt. Hall has purchased two large tanks,
holding 5000 gallons each, from the Eagle
Sugar Refinery, which he proposes to use on
Cross street in the place Of the tank he built
last season. The engine TO pump the water
from the dock will be placed above Commercial
street.

Coon GRT.-Recently Mr.. Joseph F. Den
nison, who resides in Wilmot, Nova Scotia, a
brother of Mr.. A. Dennison of this city, went,
accompanied by his wife, to make call upon a
neighbor, leaving his little boy nine years old,
and two younger sisters alone in the house.
The children were startled, soon after their
parents left, by the appearance of large wild
oat, which suddenly dropped in upon them. The
boy, with great courage. caught up a billet of
wood and assaulted the animal, while the lit
tie girls, mounted on table, watched the con-
fiict and encouraged their champion by shouts
of "Give it to him, Sammy" and Sammy did
give it to him. The fight was long and fierce;
but the boy conquered at last, and when his
father and mother got home they found the
great cat dead on the floor, and Sammy stand
ing over him, very proud, as he had reason to
be, of his exploit.

The first named thirteen sentlemen-Messrs
Coburn, Woods, Hill, Alden, Whetmore, Sew
all, Davis, Jones, johnson, Cook Woodbridge,
Cummings and Ward-were declared elected.
No sooner was the announcement made than
Mr.. Stevens of Boston, to whom the Hooper
stock $4,000 shares was assigned, jumped to his
feet and moved that the meeting be dissolved.
Col. Alden of Augusta, however, thought that
President Morrill, had been too valuable an
official to be passed by without word, and
asked moment to present the following reso-
luton, which was read by Mr. Drummond and
adopted:
Resoloed, That the Hon. Arson P. Morrill,,
by his untiring energy, zeal and fidelity in the
discharge of the duties of President of this
corporation, and by the able, vigilant and econ
omical administration of its affairs, has secured

HUMPTY DUMPTY.-Notwithsta the
storm last evening Wards Opera House was
crowded. The name of George L. Fox in this
city is always sufficient to draw full house
regardless of the weather. Humpty Dumpty
always new with Portland audience when
Fox plays it; in fact he is Humpty Dumpty.
Mr.. Fox is supported by large New York
pantomime company. The audience lavished
their applause upon Fox at each appearance.
In addition to the pantomime quite variety
entertainment was presented. Mile Lucia and
the Orrin Brothers appeared in their acrobatic
feats. There were also songs, skating exercise,
&c. The entertainment will be repeated this
evening and the hall will be packed, as nearly
