CAPT. PAUL BOYTON.
A Remarkable Exhibition of Marine
ManoeuvreS.

About three hundred persons went on the
excursion of the steamer Empire State yester-
day. Those who were SO fortunate as to at
tend not only enjoyed splendid trip along
coast unequaled for its magnificent scenery,
but witnessed an exhibition such as could only
be given by Capt. Paul Boyton, the most won
derful swimmer in the world.
At 10 o'clock the great steamer left State
street wharf amid the booming Of cannon and
the cheers of the large crowd which had as
sembled on the wharf. The American Band
of Boston was on board, and throughout the
trip discoursed some excellent music. After
passing through the channel the Empire State
sailed along the coast of Maine, by Halfway
Rock, the mouth of the Kennebec, Fort Pop
ham and Seguin. After rounding Seguin she
steamed west about a mile and a half and the n
stopped.
Capt. Boyton, encased in his rubber suit,
almost Immediately jumped from the port side
of the vessel into the sea and gave to the de-
lighted spectators an exhibition never before
witnessed in this vicinity The water was not
rough but heavy swell and light breeze dis
turbed the face of the deep. To say that
Capt. Boyton's marine man9uvres are marvel
Gus conveys but slight idea of his powers
In the water he seems perfectly at home, and
moves about with freedom and agility that is
wonderful. To fully appreciate the nautical
exhibition of this king of the sea one must
see him in the water, propelling himself with
his double paddle, constructing raft with the
skill of an experienced carpenter on land,
sending up signal rockets, rescuing a man who
had fallen overheard, or blowing a miniature
vessel to atoms by means of torpedo In
constructing his raft he stands upright in the
water. A remarkable feature of his exhibit
ton was his aquatic hunting. He moves the
gun from point to point with remarkable quick
ness and precision His exhibition continued
for over an hour and was, to say the least, a
great treat to those present.
Capt. Boyton is well formed man, little
above the medium height, and only 81 years of
age. He speaks five different languages and
is very IN telligent. While in the water he
carries knife tied around his neck, which he
frequently uses to protect himself from sharks
and other large fish.
The steamer returned at 4.30 p m. She left
this morning at o'clock for Portsmouth,
where Capt Boyton will give another exhibit
ton today.
This winter the captain will make an ex-
petition from the head waters Of the Connec-
ticut to Long Island Sound, feat he expects
to accomplish in ten days. He hopes to re-
turn to Portland and give an exhibition in
locality where he can put the price of tickets
at very low figure.

If Joe Boardman, formerly Of the Brewer
House, had been a voter in Deering at the
election Monday, how it would have surprised
and delighted him to find that he and his old
aaeighbor with whom he had had so much I'M
pleasantness, were both voting the Democratic
ticket. Still more surprised would he have
been to find that the cashier Of the National
Bank-one OF those robber banks which the
Greenback orators have so often spoken Of
was keeping them company.
The next number of the "Deering Echo"
will probably be just to Mr.. Boardman, and
note the fact that he has met with no change
in his political views, but is as true and firm a
Democrat as when he was the proprietor of
the Brewer House.
