The Cary Concert.

The Cary concert at City Hall last evening
called forth a very large and very demonstra-
| tive audience. There was great eagerness to
| see Miss Cary and to extend to her a hearty
| Portland welcome. Next to their harbor the
| chief object of pride of our people is Anna
Louise Cary. They hold her in high esteem
! for her fine womanly qualities, they admire
her courage and energy, and they grow en-
enthusiastic over her glorious voice. The re-
ception they extended to her last night, cordial
| and enthusiastic, fttingly expressed the regard
i'll which they hold her, and received a fitting
acknowledgment from her. AS she appeared
on the platform and began the aria from
Mignon, "Non conosci il bel Suol" a storm of
applause broke forth. She was in fine voice
and sang with even more than her usual spirit
In response to an importuuate encore she gave
the Star-Spangled Banner, a selection admira-
bly, adapted to her powerful and brilliant tones
aud dramatic action. On her second appear
| ance.she gave Miss Muloch's Tender and True,
and in answer to the inevitable encore sang,
with tears in her voice, Home, Sweet Home
One other appearance was made. in duet with
Miss Nickels, ST know Maiden" being given
a recall
Miss Clara Nickels sang with considerable
power and sweetness and much expression =,
and her modest and graceful method won the
warm sympathy of her audience. Her first
song was the cavatina from Ernana, "Ernani
involami." On her recall she merely bowed.
Her second appearance was in the Randegger
song "They Say" and in reply to the encore
demanded by the audience, "The Last Roseeof
Summer"
Little Miss Ida Tarbox provoked a storm of
applause. Her sweet and remarkably trained
voice pleased her hearers, and her easy bearing
on the platform amused and delighted them.
She was recalled to accept handsome bouquet
The Temple Qlartette were Of course fine.
They opened the entertainment with "Com-
rades in Arms" displaying the perfect express
sion and technique for which they are noted.
THE Hoarse Singers" which they call an ex-
travaganza, but which better deserves the
name of a stupidity, had no proper place in the
programme, and could have been dispensed
with. 1t tickled many in the audience it is
true, but 'The Dark Girl Dressed in Blue
would have done that. Mr.. Fessenden's sweet
and sympathetic tone was heard to great ad.

The concert lasted until nearly ten o'clock
and closed leaving the audience wishing it
might continue for another hour.

"From Grave TO Gay; From Lively 10
Serene.c

| To the Editor of the Press
Five days ago, we were alarmed by the an
| nouncement that Names foremost representa-
tive was on Sunday stricken down between
| the porch and the altar 1t brought to our
| minds the sickness and untimely death OF
Names great senator (Fessenden) whom we
had hoped to see in the Presidential chair. But
better result awaited Mr.. Blaine, for whom
we had similar hopes-his recovery was almost
as rapid as was the attack.
Thursdays PRESS brought us the splendid
speech of Ingersolls, in presenting Mr.. Blaine
name to the convention as one worthy of its
highest honors.
On Friday afternoon large number had
gathered at the post-ofice at the Center, and
| were anxiously awaiting the result-they had
heard from the third ballot, when gun after
gun from your city, announced that nominal
ton had been reached. The words Blaine and
bang sound so nearly alike that the utterance
was misunderstood for the former, and in their
enthusiasm, the crowd begun to get down the
upper spars of the Grant and Wilson" masts
OF four years ago, and reeve new halyards for
the campaign flag,and the usually quiet village
became excited with the hope that Blaine had
won. Soon the correct news arrived, which
somewhat dampered their ardor, but they were
bound to fly the regular nomination on the
morrow. To-day the flag was duly inscribed
Hayes and Wheeler" and hoisted to its place
with perhaps less enthusiasm than If it bore
the name of Blaine; but it floats just as proud
ly. We should have saluted the flag, but
Windham lent their town cannon "a SIX and a
nine pounder) to Old Falmouth one hundred
and one years ago, to defend their town against
Mowatt's ships, and they have not yet been
returned. Your town..so CALAMITY refused to
surrender them, that we shall not insist on
their return. At the raising of the flag one
youngster got the names mixed in his mind
with the names on his mothers sewing ma
chine, and hurrahed for "Wheeler and Will
son. VIC

THAT MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR-Cdpt. Gordon is
seen IN NeD York.-Surely the mystery in re-
gard to the body found at Vaughn's bridge
does thicken. The body it will be remember
ed was found on the 7th inst An inquest was
held tie same day, but adjourned until the
next Monday to get at the facts ia the case, land
if possible to have the body identified. Mrs.
Gordon, wife of Capt. Bert G. Gordon, came
from New Hampshire and identified the body
as that of her husband. A week ago yesterday
the jury concluded the inquest and brought in
verdict that Capt. Bert G. Gordon came to
his death by his own hand. Mrs. Gordon took
charge of the body and buried it in her family
lot in the Western Cemetery with appropriate
services.
While the inquest was in progress certain
sea captain from New York was IN town and
he was quite certain that Capt. Gordon was not
dead. Yesterday letter was received from
him by a shipping firm saying that he had just
met Capt Gordon on board vessel in New
York harbor. The question now is who was
the man found at Vaughn's bridge and did he
commit suicide or was it foul play.
