THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute Justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
Of the vile conduct of the original malefac-

The Peaks Island Club at Kennebunk

The Peaks Island Shooting Club turned out
dozen men to go to Kennebunk last Monday
and shoot return match with the club at that
place. Twelve pigeons per man were shot at,
and some very. satisfactory scores were made.
Win Jones of the Peaks Island Club made
the best individual score, killing all the birds
that were sprung for him. A. G. Sterling, of
the same club, the holder of the diamond
badge and state championship, lost but one of
his pigeons.
An elegant charm from Senter's was carried
by the visiting club as prize for the best man
of the Kennebunk Club, and was productive
OF an exciting contest between MesSrs G. w.
Larrabee and n. w. Pitts, who were tied on II
out of II.
Onsshooting off, the men were placed back
to 70 yards, from the traps Each man killed
all his birds for several rounds, when they
were set back five yards further and finished
the match at 81 yards. 1t was very even
matter, neither letting a bird escape until the
ninth round, when Pitts lost "tailer," and
Larrabee was charmed
The team scores showed q little advantage
in favor of the Peaks Island Club, they kill
ing rs per cent. of their birds, to Kennebunk's
"a.
Next in order was royal good dinner for all
hands at the dining rooms of Geo. Lowell ian
old Portland boy after which the day was fin
ished up at glass balls-20 singles from the ro-
tary trap, and ten double risers." But the
Peaks Islanders had gone in too strong on
Lowell's roast turkey to make much of show
ing, and the consequence was that while Ken
nebunk broke "a of their balls, Peaks Island
had to content themselves with a scant half of
theirs Larrabee of Kennebunk led the field
with score of % out Of So and sWin" again
won the laurels Of the visiting team. Score %
cut of 30.
A social evening followed; cards, music and
dancing contributed to the entertainment, and
it was late indeed before the lights were out
Next morning the early train over the B. &
M. brought the visitors back in good order.
and they are already busy laying their plans
to get even with the jolly Kennebunkers in
September, when all the sportsmen in the
state will rendezvous at Peaks Island for the
state tournament.
The Portland daily press., 1880-06-03

The friends of Capt e. M. Knight in Pine
street church, numbering nearly forty, made
very unexpected call upon him last evening,
at his pleasant home sc Emery street. Think
ing he had lost his sea legs, his pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Hutchns, in behalf of the assembled
friends, presented him with handsome silver
mounted cane and in few appropriate re-
marks suggested that he might use it in "furl-
ing his anchor" The response of the captain
was full of feeling and to the point.
While the host and hostess were taken COM
pletely by surprise, their daughter, Mrs Will
II. Robinson, and her husband evidently were
not, for the refreshments served in good time
attested to much care and forethought
The very pleasant evening closed with music
in which which "Blest be the tie," and "Sweet
by and by" were agreeably rendered by the
choir.
Capt. Knight.and wife take the noon train
today for New York. where they join their
ship for another years cruise
