No. Pm. G. & j. |. Davis, Portland.

This proved to be the most exciting race Of

slight advantage over No. /. Davis. in No, 2,
caught crab and lost about length, but No.

shown, all being closely punched. AS they

head of No. with No. close ON her. After
squaring away, they all spurted and got to-
gether again and kept together all the way up,
all doing brilliant rowing all the way to the
finish. The rowing was magnificent, just like
clock-work, and it was hard to tell who would
be the winner until they crossed the line.

A Brutal Assault.

A little son of Mr.. Black, who resides at the
corner of Fore and Union streets, went Tito
Merrill's junk store on Central wharf yester-
day with some strips of old iron which he tried
to sell. Mr.. Merrill made him an offer which
the boy declined, saying that he could do bet
ter at another store. Mr. Merrill spoke sharp
ly to him and told him to clear out The bow
answered back in saucy manner which
greatly exasIerated Mr.. Merrill. When the
boy had reached the sidewalk Mr. Merrill
rushed out and and administered three heavy
kicks in the boys side and back. The bow was
quite badly hurt and could not get up for some
moments Mr.. Woodbury. S. Dana and Capt.
Geo. Knights witnessed the affair and were
very indignant at the uncalled for abuse.
Marshal Bridges was at once sent for and mott.
fed Mr.. Merrill to be at the municipal court

CAP'N. CHASE'S SPREAD.
How the Tabulator got Cheered at Last

Last evening the Hancock Zouaves had their
first parade, the objective point being the resi-
dence of Can'n Chase who had allowed it to
become generally known that he proposed to
do himself proud by giving the company a
spread. There was naturally desire to see
how he would tabulate tables with eatables
and drinkables..
The uniform of the Zouaves was attractive
but their marching, owing to numerous mud
puddles, was rather crooked. The anxiety of
the youngsters to keep their feet dry caused
the old battle-scarred veterans like Cap'n
Chase who stood on the sidewalks to smile con-
temptuously.
The exact location of the Tabulators resi-
dence was indicated by display of fireworks,
and on the arrival of the Zouaves they were
requested to pass into the yard where some
say coffee and others lemonade was offered
them. The next move was for the company
to get into the street and the Cap'n into the
house. Once in the street the band played the
well known tune Comm thro' the Rye" and
three faint, very faint, cheers were given for
the Tabulator. Not real hearty Democratic
cheers such as once were to be heard when the
democracy Southern wing) made charge.
The Cap'n appeared in the front door and
with his hat waved his acknowledgements.
Starting the tile from the back of his head he,
with it, formed little more than half circle,
and then passing it back to its starting point he
repeated the performance The Zouaves
cheered three times, the Cap'n waved three
times, some rockets whized upward, "march''
was shouted. and the show was over.

Those whe happened to be upon the Western
Promenade or in any other good position last
evening must have indeed enjoyed rare
slght. BY 8 O'Clock one who is in the habit of
watching the sky would tell that an unusual
scene was being prepared. The clouds were
disposed just right for the retreating sunlight
to fall upon Them to the best advantage, and
bring out" as an artist could say. the most
beautiful colors. Toward the north there Law
amass of deep heavy dark purple clouds, form
ing fit shading to the grand picture. while
toward the east all the storm clouds that

streaks of gold, amber and azure tint were
nterspersed with that rare Robins egg-blue of
exquisite tint, and higher up, that tint was
changed to a delicate or deep blue. Below
near the horizon in the clear background, like
as ii vast scenic curtain had been rolled nm
the entire outline of ''the everlasting NOM,
talns' far and near, from Mount Washington
to Agamenticus in old York was sharply
outlined upon rich golden sky. We stood
upon the Western Promenade for an hour or
more ana enjoyed the unusual scene, such as
one sees hardly more than once in the course
OF northern summer. And as the twilight
advanced the colors were changed to a bright
red and seemed if possible to increase in rich
ness OF color and beauty. Near Mount Wash
ington q little constellation of tiny clouds were
eathened, which lighted up by the lingering
sun below the horizon, seemed like yery safe
lites that might revolve around our great
Northern dome itself. Then too the twilight
seemed prolonged to very late hour, it being
more than half past eight o'clock before the
robins egg-blue had disappeared. Then one
star appeared high tow ard the zenith, which
almost seemed as though it felt itself obtrud-
ing upon the domain of "the greater light that
rules the day" The suggestive hymn of w.

Behold the Western evening light
