YACHTING.
Another Contest in which the Oracle
Wins

The yachts Oracle, Capt Senter, and Marie,
Capt. Kimball, it will be remembered had a
race for supper over the second class course
for yachts on Wednesday, May 2Sth, in which
the Marie beat the former yacht some thirty
minutes, the wind being very light and both
boats getting becalmed. These two yachts had
another trial of their merits on the return
from the annual cruise on Monday last.
The course was from JEWELS Island through
White Head passage to the buoy off Fort
Preble, a distance of nine miles.
Both yachts started at about the same time,
the Marie two minutes behind the Oracle.
There was stiff breeze from the south, with
flood tide, which made it necessary to beat
to windward from JEWELS Island to White
Head, with the wind on the quarter from
White Head to the buoy. The Oracle round
ed the buoy twenty minutes ahead of the
Marie, being in the Judgment of disinterested
parties about mile and half ahead.

An installation Which Didn't Come OF

An Installation Which Didn't Come OFF,
The Congregational church and society at
Kennebunk having invited Rev. Mr.. Lockwood
lately preacher in Oxford, in this state, to
settle over them, the installation exercises
were publicly announced for Monday after
noon. The examination by mutual council
was called at 10 a. M, which was organized
with Rev. Mr.. Tukesburyias moderator, and
o. 7. Sarey, Esq, as scribe. To the surprise
of the council the candidate failed to make
Orthodox answers to their questions upon the
endless punishment doctrine, and they unani-
mously declined to install, the result of their
deliberations being read by Rev. Mr.. Merrill
of Biddeford.
The particularly pious chuch members were
astonished, the mobile members were mad, and
the wicked, casual churchmen were pleased.
The Widespread dinner in the basem ent sadly
needed an assembly appetizer, and the strang-
ers and citizens filed out into the rain storm

New England Ship Owners Association

New England Ship Owners Association
The annual meeting of the New England
Ship Owners Association was held Tuesday
afternoon at three o'clock in the parlors of the
board of trade, Boston. After the reading of
the records of the March meeting by the
secretary the first annual report was presented.
The present membership is 139, and includes
nearly all the prominent shipowners of Maine,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Review
was presented OF the acts of the year, mention
being made of the efforts to defend the guano
trade; to procure the repeal of the law for
three months pay to seilors discharged in
foreign ports; to modify insurance policies in
favor OF speedy payments, and to defeat COM
pulsory pilotage at He'll Gate-the association
having good record of activity for its first
year of existence. Suggestions were made for
the appointment of an agent to be stationed
at Washington, to inform the association of all
bills introduced in either branch of Congress
affecting commerce. By such means the
passage of laws injurious to commerce might
be prevented. The report was ordered printed
and a copy will be sent to each member.
The treasurer's report was next presented
showing the cash on hand to be $SS3.51.
The committee to investigate the subject of
compulsory pilotage reported that they found it
much more extensive than they expected, and
asked for further timein which to investigate
the matter.
A committee to nominate officers reported
the same as for the past year, with the excep-
ton of substituting Mr.. Frederick w. Nicker-
sons name for that of the late Mr.. Frederick
Nickerson, his father, as member of the
executive committee. The list was elected
unanimously, but subsequently Mr.. M. f.
Pickering was elected on the committee on
membership, in place of Mr.. Wardell Good
win, who has removed to New York.

A Visit to Emery's Mills.

Few OF the passengers on the Ogdensburg
Railroad who have admired the beautiful
scenery OF Hiram Falls as they have been
hurried by have had any idea of the business
carried on in the mill which they have noticed
on the further bank of the river Though at
this point the Saco river falls more than 70
feet, much more than is apparent to the rail-
way observer, and affords peculiar advantages
Tor lumber manufacturing business; it is only
within half dozen years that this magnifi-
cent power, the third in the State has been
utilized The power is owned by the Saco
Water Power Company and the property is
occupied by Mr.. Isaac Emery of this city in
the manufacture of sugar hogsheads for the
Cuban market. Mr. Emery yesterday showed
PRESS reporter the premises and the peculiar
conveniences of his mills for the business and
gave many interesting details regarding the
shook trade. These shocks, and Mr.. Emery
makes the best in the market, are sawed from
red and white oak logs which come to the mills
cut in lengths of about four feet. The mill
proper is furnished with two turbine wheels,
giving 100 horse power each, and the water is
conducted to them by a channel cut through
the solid ledge, the dam being almost entirely
natural one The apparatus for handling the
Coax" as the raw material is technically
termed, and the saws for turning out the
finished slaves are wonderfully convenient in
arrangement and efficient in work. Having
been properly seasoned after saving the slaves
are taken to the cooper shops scattered around
in the woods, when they are set up as hogs
heads, and having been "burned' by wood
fire kindled within are "knocked down" and
bound with hoops for export. Of these cooper
shops Mr.. Emery has nine and their arrange
ment for convenience of working and ventila-
ton is admirable. During the winter, which
is the busy season, the mills give employment
turning off 500 shook per day. In connection
with the mills are a blacksmith shop, stables,
store-houses, and an admirably planned and
well governed boarding house for the work.
men, with accommodation for IS boarders.
There is also steamer of light draught which
is utilized in bringing oak to the mills from
the banks above, and which at favorable
seasons readily goes % miles mp the river.
Everything about the premises indicates care
full attention to the requirements of the bust
ness and convenience of the workmen. In
Mr. Emery's absence his brother, Mr. Alpheus
Emery, has charge and will be glad to show
visitors the mills and the beautiful scenery in
lis vicinity Not the least interesting of the
many objects of interest is genuine log
house built by some of the Canadian lumber
men.

Assaulting a Lawyer.

On Saturday afternoon last, Mr.. William
Cooley, Of Bel Air, WAS in company with
several others, ut the Hartford House in this
place, and in All argument some one gave
the lie, when VIM. Griffith of Swan Creek
assaulted Mr.. Cooley, but WIS soon over
adviser, and put to route. At this, Mr..
Ewing struck Mr.. Cooley ~ heavy blow
upon the arm, and before lnany moments
he too, was balancing on his knees, but
again made Il pass at Mr. C., when that
gentleman throttled his antagonist and was
closing his wind pipe with 4 giant grip
when they were separated. The affair is
spoken Of by all who witnessed it as shame
full on the part of Mr.. Cooley's aSsail;lntS,
they having assaulted him without Just
cause, the difficulty growing out of a suit at
the late circuit court i'll which VIM. Ewing
was prominent prosecuting witness, and
Mr.. Cooley was an attorney for the defence.
However, Mr. Cooley came out victor with
out any bruises and if taken single handed
is still prepared 10 throw any man of 800
pounds or less, either in a hand TO hand
combat or in court of justice. We would
advise AL the Hartford lawyers TO take 4
slight warming from this little affair, or as
with Mr. Cooley it may be dangerous for
them to defend y prisoner ut the bar when
some one who knows u good deal > of law
are prosecuting.-fid Republican.
