Annual ChalIsuas Gun Regatta.

Tue annual challeuge cup regatta of the Port
land Yacht Club came off, yesterday. There
were 20 formal entries for the race as all boats
belonging to the club are supposed to compete
As it was, there were fourteen boats that start
ed, but only six of them went over their several
courses The wind was blowing fresh all day
from the South, and no better day could have
been selected for the race. The judges decided
not to start the race until 1915 instead of 10
O'Clock, the time settled upon. Long before
the time for starting the end of Custom House
wharf and the club house piazza were crowded
with spectators who were anxious to witness
the start. AT 10 80 the first gun was fired to
bring the boats into line. Fifteen minutes
later gun from the club room told the yachts
they could weigh anchor and proceed at once.
This signal was speedily needed and each and
every boat in line got fine start. The Viva,
which was lying nearest the Cape side, took a
good strong puff from the land and led the
squadron around the breakwatar, closely fol-
lowed by the Rambler, Undine, Mischief, Edda
and the Mist. This position was not kept long
for the second and third class yachts were
Obliged to part company as their courses lay in
different directions. The Casco lead the sec.
ond class as easily as the Viva led the Sparkle
Just before reaching Green Island the Sparkle
gave up the race, leaving the Viva to go over
the course alone. The Oracle wert nearly over
the course, but as the Casco was far ahead she
did not make her last buoy. but returned to
the starting point and her time was not taken
The only contest of the whole race was between
the two schooners, Undine and Rambler, in the
second class. Both boats got started together
and sailed over the whole course, a distance of
Is miles, in company, until after getting inside
the breakwater when the wind left the Rambler
slightly and the Undine crossed the line few
moments in advance. The Mist lead the Edda
in the third class boats and won the cup. The
course for the first class boats was 81 miles, for
the second class IS, and for the Third class IL.
The judges were r. j. Willard, f. Willard and
I. X. Jones. The following time table gives
the figures

Maine Rusiness Notes.

The franklin Land and Lumber Company,
whose headquarters are in Boston, the cor
poration that has leased the saw mill at the
east end of the Kennebec dam IN Augusta, has
just met with sad mishap in the loss of one
of their valuable dams on Carrabasset stream.
The consequence is that the company will be
unable this season to get all their logs down to
the mills. Appearances now indicate that out
of nine millions of feet, they will be lucky if
they get out one million feet 1t is their inten-
ton, however, to furnish plenty of business for
their mill, even if they have to buy logs of
other millmen They have recently laid out
about $1,000 on repairs on their leased mill in
Augusta.
The new steam mill being erected on the east
side of the river in Augusta, ON the site of the
one burned last October, is rapidly approaching
completion. 1t is expected that the mill will
be completed and ready for business about the
last of June, when it will give employment to
crew of thirty five men-about the force it
took to run the former MIL. The structure,
fitted with machinery, ETC.. ready for operations,
will cost about $4,000. The company running
it will engage intbe manufacture of long and
short lumber

THE ART Subdivisions were plentier than
purchasers at Schumachers art gallery last
evening, and the sale of pictures was not SO
large as it should have been in view of the
merit of the paintings. The prices were very
low, and bargains were secured by nearly all
who bid. The sale will be resumed this even
ing, and will positively close then. This, the
last opportunity to secure paintings at prices
far below their value, ought not to be neglected
by those who have taste for good pictures. 1t
is '~arely that such chance is afforded.

ARRIVAL OF Two WHALEs.-Burnum has at
last been odtdone in the show business, for now
an enterprising manager has sent to Labrad Or
and secured two fine young whales for exhibit
tion. Some time since M. c. Coup, formerly
the manager of P. L. Barnum's great moral
show, dispatched his ageats to the coast of
Labrador for the purpose of securing, if posi-
Bile, one or more living whales for his new Crys-
tai Aquarium. now in process of construction
on Broadway and Both street. New York city.
After long and patient labor, during which they
suffered intensely from c,ld and ice, they were
rewarded by the capture of two foe young
whales. They were captured after an exciting
chase and shipped to Quebec, where two i'm =.
mense tanks were constructed to receive them.
From there they were re-shipped by special
cars over the Grand Trunk to this city, where
they arrived last evening. They are evidently
quite young, but are in fine condition. They
are about twenty-five feet in length, and are
considered the finest specimen ever seen on this
coast. They will be shipped from here on Mon-
day by steamer to New York, so as to enable
the agent to keep them well supplied with salt
water. They can be seen in the Grand Trunk
yard until they are shipped, and will doubtless
be visited by hundr eds in the next two days.
