THE RIFLE MATcH,-The Worcester papers
give fuller particulars of the shooting match
between Mr. Daniels of this city and Buffalo
Bill. There were about 400 spectators drawn
together by desire to see the famous scout,
who shoots SO we'll on the mimic stage, Try bis
hand with marksman of known reputation
in contest where bullets were 10 use and
money at stake. The day was bright, with a
cloudless sky, but the air was far too sharp and
frosty to admit of comfort in shooting so that
neither of the contestants did as well as in
their practice work. Mr.. Daniels has the rep
utation of being one Of the best rifle shots in
the State of Maine, and went to Worcester
confident of easily winning the match with bis
opponent who, being much occupied with his
show business, has not the time to keep up his
outdoor practice at the target. As will be
seen by the appended score, he came very near
accomplishing his purpose, the unucky sixth
shot probably losing him the match. -Four of
bis shots were better than his opponents best,
though the average, which included the I'M
lucky shot, was not equal to the popular Buffa-
10 Bill. The latter is not in the best of prac.
tee, having to get it here and there while tray
cling with his show, and, like Mr.. Daniels,
claims that Wednesday s score is not fair test
Of what he can do under more favorable circum.
stances, which would include warmer day
and more practice at the target. G w Davi.
son of Providence, r. T., was the referee, MIR.
Frank Wessou oficiated as judge for Mr. Dan
iels, and Mr.. Isaac P. Austin, one of the Aus.
tin brothers, served in similar capacity fol-
Buffalo Bill. Both men used the Frank Yves
son No. mid-range rifle, ten pounds weight
44-100 calibre. The scora was as follows:

CITIZENS TEMPERANCE MEETNe.-The
meeting at Congress Hall last evening was
opened by very appropriate prayer by Rev
Mr.. Moore. Mr.. F. A. Smith presided. He
said that some people complained that the tenn
perance cause had become stale, but they were
people who had not taken any active part in
temperance work, and do not understand its
practical features. Rev. W. S. Jones of Bruins
wick, reviewed the drinking habits of England,
his native country, showing these habits to be
the greatest burden of the people. He argued
that no man can give a reasonable and satisfac-
tory excuse for drinking. Every man must be
held responsible for his own wckedness. The
people must be held responsible for the traffic,
for they have the power to annihilate it and
consequently have no right to allow its contin.
uance.
Mr.. j. K. Osgood of Gardiner, the founder Of
the reform movement, made brief but most
eloquent and impressive speech. He said that
the saddest mistake of his life was when he, a
young man, believed he could drink moderately
with impnnity Another mistake was when,
as reformer, he believed that moral suasior
was the only method of working in the temper
ance cause.
There will be meeting this evening, and
good speakers will be present.

Pa,riol Sons of ,ze.

Bosworth Post No. 2, G. A. R., produced the
drama of Patriot Sons of '76'' at City Hall
last evening. The play is story of Revou-
tionary days, when the loyal citizens took up
arms to save their fair land from the intrudiDg
Brtlshers, while the towards went over to the
ranks of the enemy. There are of course sew
eral pretty little love affairs in the play and
plenty of chance for the Irish and African wit
The play was written by Mr. Joseph Lewis
who has charge of bringing OFT the piece. Mr.
Lewis is almost continually on the stage in one
of his four different characters and gives the
play much life. He is good comedian and in
Irish characters has rarely been exceled 10 this
city.
The best amateurs 10 the Post and of the Re-
lief Corps are in the cast making it an excep-
tionally strong one. Harry Stanton. the patr-
OF scout, is represented by W. E. st. John, who
appears to good advantage. Mr.. Broaghton
appears as Jasper Slack, the traitor, and was
good. as he always is in theatrcsls. Messrs.
George Il. Poor and e. G. Milliken as the col
ored men, were very funny.
The ladies were all good, but Miss Newell, as
the betrothed of Harry Stanton, was very fine.
This young lady has appeared in theatrcals
quite number of times, and always produces
good impression. Miss Sterling, who sang
''The flag of Bunker Hill, with so much feel
ing was warmly encored. The tableaux are
very fine, and each ofathem last evening called
forth loud and continued applause. The music
by Chander's orchestra added much to the en-
ioyment of the entertainment.
The Post is to be congratulated upon having
the best drama they have ever yet produced,
and there is no doubt but that the members
will be rewarded for their efforts in bringing it
out with crowded houses the remaining nights
of its production. Every dollar received goes
| to help the family OF a dead or disabled COM
rade

THE STUDIOS.
I'm Mr. Thaxter's AteIier.

Some time since statuette of "Maud Mu
Ter was on exhibition at Hale's, and called
forth expressions of warm admiration
from lovers Of art because of its fell
city of conception and fine execution.
The statuette was the work of E.
X. Thaxter, an artist yet in his teens. The
subjects he has modelled since strengthen the
high opinion of his abilities which all formed
from an inspection of the first example of his
art exhibited to the Portland public. The ex-
pectations then excited have not been disap-
pointed and he is regarded by competent judges
as sculptor of extraordinary promise.
Mr.. Thaxter does not appear to have deliber-
ately chosen this profession, to have looked
over the field of endeavor and then said 81
will be a sculptor. His profession chose him.
In his childhood days he was always dabblng
in clay, embodyiug his fancies in the plastic
material. He was wisely permitted to follow
the bent of his genius, and put himself under
the instruction of one of the first of American
sculptors. Under the wise and kindly care of
his instructor he acquired the technique of his
art, and is certainly now well-equipped for his
work. He has opened an ateler in Market
Square, where those who ara interested in
either the processes or the results of sculp-
ture will find much to instruct and enter
tain them.
No one who visits tbes atelier can fail to be
impressed with the fine quality of Mr.. Thax-
ter's work. His statues and busts have ease,
fulness and movement, and are singularly free
from stiffness and dryness. His modelling is
skilful and correct and his style vigorous and
dignifed. His drapery-a significant feature
in sculpture-is soft and clinging. Indeed his
whole work is Informed by sentiment and in
telligence, and when the crudeness in design
not unexpected in SO young an artist dsap-
pears, as it will, notable achievement may be
confidently anticipated. Mr.. Thaxter has still
much to learn, but he shows the possession of
the talent and energy which make easy the
acquisition Of knowledge. Natural genius
well directed and aided by hard study give
promise in this case of great accomplishment.
He has been busily engaged since he opened
his room 10 filling orders, chiefly for portrait
busts Among these busts is one of Mr.. j. N,
Winslow, noticeably good for the correctness
of the portrait, the ease and dignity of the
carriage. Another strong ard finished work is
head of Mr.. r. w. Thaxter of Yarmouth.
OF child busts there ara several notceably
good One of a young child of Mr.. = W.
Robinson formerly of Portland, is full of spirit
and expression, and others, of Masters Ned
Dennison and Frank Moody. ara quite as
good. One of the happiest and most successful
of Mr. Thaxter's modellings is the bust of
Margaret Elwel, now Oh exhibition at Hale's.
