IL was nearly one o'clock before the steamer
left the wharf. The sail was short, but very
pleasant one The sea was calm, and even to
those not accustomed to the water there was
not the least fear of sea-sickness. A straight
run was made for Harpswell, where the steamer
arrived at o'clock. There was large crowd
on the wharf to welcome the party to the hos
pitsble shore of the historic town. The band
at once lead the way to the Harpswel House,
followed by the hungry multitude.
After removing the stains of travel at this
excellent house the company retired to a large
tent to the east of the house, where were spread
several tables well laden. Mr.. s. B. Graves,
chairman of the committee of arrangements,
welcomed the party in few we'll chosen words
and invited all to eat and be full. The invita-
tion was gladly accepted, and for about an
hour the struggle was terrible. After all had
done justice to the good things brought them
by the druggists clerks, who acted as walters,
Mr.. Graves called the company to order and
introduced DR.. T. G. Loring of this city as
POSTMASTER. The Doctor accepted in his usual
bashful manner ard the following are the
