The Two Concerts.

This evening the complimentary concert Of
fered to Mr.. w. Fl. Beckett previous to his
departure for Europe comes off at City Hall.
This concert has attracted attention among the
music loving people of the city, not only be-
cause of the opportunity it offers to testify
their kindly regard for MI. Beckett but be-
cause it affords the last opportunity to hear
Miss Gary for many months-her departure fol
the old world having been decided upon. For
tunately the Haydn concert has been postpon'
ed, so the two entertainments will not inter
fere with each others success.
The plan and makeup of the two concerts
is entirely different, and both will afford most
refined and genuine enjoyment-each in its
own line. Mr.. Beckett's rich, pure voice and
admirable style need no recommendation to his
| fellow-citizens, and Miss Beebes beautiful so
prano and conscientious singing have won fol
| her an enviable fame, while the last opportu
| nifty of hearing Miss Cary before her departure
| for Europe will not be neglected or unapprecl
ated By the many admirers of her grand con-
tralto voice. The other artists are of CORE
| spending excellence.
The Haydn concert presents novel feature
in the rendition of Schumann's graceful can
tat., 'The Pilgrimage of the Rose" together
with the spirited chorus "Gipsy Life" by the
same composer, Hatton's "Church Tower
| chorus, and other miscellaneous selections
The numerous soloists who take part in the
cantata will also prove great attraction. Be
side the established favorites of the audience
several new singers will take part The librette
of the pilgrimage of the Rose" is founded
upon one of those stories combining the imasi'
nary and the real, so dear to the German I'M
agination. Acceding to the ardent wish OF 9
rosebud, the Fairy Queen transforms her to
maiden and, giving her rose as talisman te
secure her happiness, sends her forth on hel

THE NEW CHURCH.-The substantial COM
pletion of the exterior of the Payson Memorial
church marks an era in the architectural histo-
nv of the town. Speaking for myself am free
to say that nowhere have seen church front
distinguished by more noble beauty than that
of the Payson memorial building Granite,
unless handled with skill, is apt to take on a
Bastile look in church and other edlfces. But
in the hands of the architect of genius, light
eped and relieved by suitable articles OF con-
struct:on, it possesses an energy OF expression
beyond any other building material. Mr.. fas-
sett has used his opportunity and his materials
with eminent art. / could only wish the en-
tire structure might have been of stone. The
spire. which yesterday for the first time fully
disclosed its elegant proportions, is httlng
crown and contamination to the work. Ii L
mistake not its ornamentation is to CONSIDER
abIe extent an original device of the architect.
At apy rate it is commanding the emphatic ap-
proyal of all persons of taste. The people OF
Portland were already under special ob'lga-
tions to Mr.. Fassett for the great Improvement
he made in the City Building. 1t was he who
lifted up the roof and dome of that structure,
and thereby gave it expression and soul. lie
is a public benefactor who. by the use OF his
money or his mind, places before the eye OF the
people objects of beauty, and who shows that
the useful and the elegant may be made to 60

THE CHAMPION FLAG.
The Prize Drill ut City, HaIi-An Excu-
Eing ECOnfesf-TheIa . Portland II Caucus
EAgain Victorious.

All the available room in City Hall Was
crowded last night by the respective friends oi
the Portland Cadets and Montgomery GUARDS
| to witness the competitive drill for the cnap'p
| on flag, which the Cadets won in 1872 and nave
retained ever since, and now possess by LILO
| terms by which it was first given them, as no
| challenge can be given after the company has
held it three years.
Both companies marched from their armo-
ries at about u o'clock to the front OF the Il d.
mouth, where the judges were taken III ca,
rage, and headed by Chambers Band mafcheu
to City Hall. Arriving at the Hall, botn GUN
papies marched in and the Cadets delivered tne
champion flag into the hands of the JUDGES
Major e. IT. Raymond, Assistant inspector
General Sd Brigade Mass. Volunteer Mllitia'
Major L. G. White of the Worcester Cadets,
and Capt j. B. Reardon of the Grafton GUARDS
of the 9th Mass. V. NJ.
The Montgomerys, as the challenging coin-
pany, first went through with the company
drill. The Cadets followed with the same. Inc
former company then came in went through
with tie manual of arms, etc., followed by the
Cadets. After a consultation, the Montgom-
erys entered the hall and went through Win
the skirmish drill followed as before by the
Cadets.
While the exhibition was going on the inter-
est on the part of the spectators was intense
and frequent demonstrations of applause were
made, though both companies requested that
there should be nothing of the kind.
The Portland Cadets never did so well. Iheir
evoutions and exercise was nearly faultiess
Capt. Winslow and his comrades may congra'-
ulate themselves that no better drilling mas
been seen in Portland for years. We trust the
company will keep up its wonderful excei-
lence.
On the other hand, the Montgomery Guards
did not show their best. A little confusion IN
the first part of their exhibition SO disconnected
the members of the company that they eyI-
IDENTIFY felt it throughout. The Montgomery
performed the manual with unusual excellence
and their drill generally was of a high order.
1t is one of the best companies in the state and
deserves great praise for its perseverance in
maintaining its drill and discipline under Cir
cumstances which would utterly discourage
most young men.
The judges unanimously awarded the flag to
the Cadets, and it was presented by Major
White. The announcement was received with
immense cheering. The Mentgomerys gave
three cheers for the Cadets, which was returned
with will. The friends of the Cadets are very
jublant at the success of their favorites as they
well may be. Chandler's Band filled the inter-
walls between the drills with most excellent
music.
At the conclusion of the exercises, gentle
man invited the Cadets to the saloon of d. K.
Reed, where an elegant supper was served.

whom she asks shelter, she goes to the village
graveyard, where the old sexton digs the grave
OF the miller's daughter. The mourning vll'

her to the miller and his wife, who adopt her

and both fought robly. The white man was
badly bitten, while the colored man was stab

to be found and no one in the crowd appeared
anxious to interfere. After hard fight they
both stopped from sheer exhaustion. The two
deputy marshals arrived soon after, but failed
