A HALF-DoLLAR EARNED.-A half dollar
saved is a half dollar earned, and in these days
when people are obliged to practice the most
rigid economy in all their expenditures, the
action Of the Portland g. Rochester Railroad
in reducing their fare to Boston to two dollars
and half, comes as welcome news. There is
no easier way for travellers to Lowell and
Boston to save half dollar than to patIonze
this route. The traius are run rapidly. There
is no change of cars and no delays at any
point. The passenger cars are first class n all
respects, the track rides smoother and the
route passing, as it does through numerous
towns and cities of interest, must carry no
inconsiderable fraction of the travel. The man
agement of this road have always aimed to
identify it with the interests of Portland, and
our citizens should all endeavor to promote the
success of the road as far as possible. Harry
Croker of Bowdoin is to act as referee.

Yesterday there was race between four of
the second-class yachts of the Portland Club for

The challenge was accepted, and 1 o'clock yes

the Twilight, May, and Oracle and Idler ap-
peared. They were given flying start and
cot off with but little delay. The Twilight led
