Interesting to Yachtmen.

The convention for organizing the National
Yachting Association, which met in New
York city March 8, 1880, resolved that the
United States be apportioned into districts or
departments, in which the yacht clubs belong
ing thereto should have control of the Nation
al Union Regattas held in such districts re-
spectively. The carrying out of this plan ne
cessitates the formation Of associations in ca CHI
district of yacht clubs. The territory between
Eastport, Me-, and Cape Cod was, by the res
olution in the National Association, assigned
as one department. The Portland Yacht Club
and the Salem Bay Yacht Club are the only
Eastern associations now belonging to the Ma.
tional Yachting Association.
1t is proposed to organize an auxiliary associa-
ton for this department of the country, and a
circular embodying the particulars has been
issued by representatives of the two clubs
above named. A cordial invitation has beer
issued by these gentlemen for representatives
of other clubs to unite with them in conven.
ton to be held in Young's Hotel, Boston, on
Friday, April 10th, at 7 80 P. M, for the pur-
pose above named
This invitation has been thus far extended
to the Boston, Eastern, Dorchester, Bunker
Hill, East Boston, Lynn Beverly Haverhil
Newburyport, ProvincetowD, Nahasset, JEFF
fries, Duxbury and Quincy Yacht Clubs The
benefits OF forming the association are set forth
in the circular.

Easter at Yarmouth.

Easter the festival commemorative of the res
direction of Christ, was observed at the diff
ferent churches in this village last Sunday by
exercises appropriate to the occasion. The
decorations at the First Parish and Central
were elaborate and beautiful; the churches
presented an elegant and attractive appear
ance. The floral display at the First Parish
was very elaborate, and excelled anything of
the kind ever attempted in that church before.
The sanctum ON either side of the pulpit was
completely packed with rare and beautiful
plants, among the most prominent being callas
and geraniums. Four elegant festoons of ever
green's suspended from the center of the church
to the galleries, also wreaths, and baskets con-
tanning trailing vines hanging from the chan
delier and wall lamps were very tasteful and
attractive. The large floral harp which hung
from the organ, and the designs of evergreens
on the walls, were noticeable, as were also the
numerous bouquets of cut flowers.
The pastor, Rev. Joseph Torrey, D. D., oc-
cupied the pulpit, and preached two excellent
sermons. He took his morning text from St.
John, 11-25-"Jesus saith unto her, 1 am the
resurrection and the life.' The afternoon dis
course was from LIST John, 5-4,-"For whatso-
ever is born of God overcometh the world, an d
this is the victory that overcomith the world,
even our faith The singing was conducted by
DIR. Burbank assisted by Mr. John Walker, with
Miss Annie Burbank, organist.
The decorations at the Central Church were
profuse. The plants occupying the sanctum
were beautiful and nicely arranged. The most
noticeable were the geraniums, callas and an
elegant oleander. Baskets of trailing vines
hung from the chandelier AMI wall lamps.
Rev. F. w. Sanborn, the pastor, preached in
the afternoon from St. Luke, A-2,-"And
they found the stone rolled away from the
sepulchre." The discourse was very interest
ing, and we'll delivered. Excellent singing was
furnished by the church quartette, composed of
Miss lila P. Seabury, soprano; Mrs. Geo. F.
Lowell, cortralto; Mr.. Hermon Seabury, tenor;
Mr.. L. L. Shaw, basso; with Prof. E. A.
Blanchard, organist.
A praise meeting was held at each of the

Death of George F. Hitchings.

1t is with regret that we announce the de-
cease of Geo. F. Hitchings, Esq, which &C.
cured at his residence yesterday morning.
Although having been confined to his home
during the past four months from sickness,
which was not of a serious nature, it was sup
posed that he was convalescing, but within the
past ten days he contracted severe cold, ter
minating in typhoid pneumonia, which caused
his death.
Mr.. Hitchings was born in Charlestown, Mass.
in August, 1872 While lad he was employed
in wholesale grocery house in New York
City, and afterwards became associated with
the late John M. Wood in constructing Long
Island, Boston & Albany and Atlantic & St.
Lawrence Railroads. After severing his
connection with Mr.. Wood, he built several
roads, including the Portland & Rochester,
Worcester & Nashua, Portsmouth, Ct. Falls
& Conway and Knox & Lincoln railroads; also
branches of the New York & New England
and the European & North American roads.
Mr.. Hitchings was one of the most prominent
railroad contractors in New England. He was
wise and sagacious business man, of strict in
tegrity and most genial disposition, and has
left behind him large circle of friends. His
widow and five children survive him.

Wages Advanced at the Biddeford Mills.
The operatives of the Pepperell and Laconia
cotton mills, of Biddeford, have been notified
of an advance in wages. The mule spinners
get 10 per cent. advance; the other operatives
from to 10 per cent Biddeford has never
known strike Of Importance, and the opera
tives, although receiving exceedingly low wages
the last few years, have patiently waited for
return of some of the cut downs. Now, as all
of the mills are exceedingly prosperous, the
managers are recognizing the just claims OF
their help. 1t is understood that the Saco
water power machine shop, employing about
five hundred men, and York mill will soon
follow the lead of the other mills. Every in
dustry is prospecting there now. Shoe shops
are running extra teams, and one concern is
building large shoe shop. The new co.opera,,
tive stove foundry is crowded by orders, and
Curriers' new engine and machine shop is run
ming night and day. Another large three-sto-
ry building for iron and wood manufacturing
purposes is also to be erected at once.

Mrs. Holland and the Temperance Organi-
cations.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The druggists of Portland have had the rep
utation of being habitual violators of the law.
selling liquors freely, obtaining them by the bar
rel. The sheriff has done nothing to prevent
or check this, and the enforcement of the law
against these offenders has devolved entirely
upon individuals. Truly or otherwise this par
ticular druggist has been supposed to be extern
sively engaged in violating the law. If
injustice has been done him in this
respect, he can easily say. so over his
own name Now Mrs. Holland, whom 1 do
not know, stepped in to do what the sheriff
should have done, viz, to bring supposed vi
olator of the law to justice. You say editori-
ally: "All respectable temperance organlZa-
lions will do well to publicly repudiate such
methods as that employed by Mrs. Holland
The cause of temperance can only suffer by
Them should be very glad to see the OBJ
jections to "such methods fairly and fully
stated, and then we could find out what may
be said in defense. of them. N. d.
1.-THE objections can be very briefly stated
The act complained of, that of inducing per-
son to violate law, is dishonorable and an
affront to mems sense of Justice and fair play
The temperance cause will inevitably be
judged by the words and actions of its most
strenuous advocates, and any odium that
attaches to indscreet or dishonorable conduct
by them will naturally be transferred to the
prohibitory law. 1t certainly will not be
urged that the way to enforce a law is to in
duce people to break it.-Ed]
