OTHER RACES.---NOTES AND
INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
THE CROWD.

The day selected for the races at Mariana
cook could not have been finer. 1t dawned
with beautiful air, a temperature just
right for the comfort of those who
took part in the races, and the 10000
spectators that were present. Many
Improvements have been made in the grove
aimee the last regatta. The ground in the
lower grove has been covered with tan-bark,
which makes a good walk, and gives the
grounds clearly appearance. A large din
ing hall has been built so that 500 hungry
mortals can be seated at the tables. The
tables were well patronized, and a large
amount of Substantial food such as baked
beans, cOrned beef, etc, was disposed of, yet
the supply was equal to the demand, and none
vent away hungry. An Octagon building,
finished in modern style, has been erected for
abaggage storehouse. Goats, valises and all
baggage are here checked free of charge with
nilroad checks, so there is no possible
chance for a mistake. A large band stand
has been built. 1t was was put up expressly
for speakers stand, Gen. Butler being the
first campaign orator who spouted from it.
Yesterday, Chambers Band of Portland
and Glover's Band of Auburn did as good
service on this stand as they could have
done if it had been erected for
better man than Butler. One string band
were also in attendance, and played excellent
music for hundreds to trip the light fantastic
toe in the pavilicns. A huge crowd ap-
peared to enjoy themselves by looking on,
while others were swinging or sailing on the
lake. Among other things going on for
amusement, some ladies seized jolly fat
man and dressed him in woman's apparel to
represent Maranacook. Eleven special
trains, nearly all drawn by two locomotives,
brought people to the grounds. Trains were
run from Portland, Bangor, Gardiner, Farm
ington, Lewiston, Brunswick and Winthrop,
and all were crowded to their utmost capac-
fy, there being scarcely standing room in
many of the cars. The throng was orderly.
There were only one or two cases OF slight
disturbances, which were soon stopped by the
officers in attendance.

IreIand's Woes.

! nyRLIN, September %. The murder Of
Lord Montmorris excited feeling Of alarm
little short of panic among respectable
classes. Party differences are for time
| discarded IN the presence of common ana
imminent danger. Ii is said ON all sides with
equal dependency and bitterness that there is
no longer any security for lite and property,
and nobody can feel safe who ventures to as
sert the rights or discharge the duties con-
uected with the possession, occupation or
management of land, il he acts in conflict
with the interests or prejudiees of those with
whom he has to deal. The country is fast
drifting TO anarchy. The arm of authority
seems paralyzed and the executive is utterly
helpless, although at present the panic Is felt
most keenly by land owners, and is shared
by employers of labor, who see the growth OF
n refractory spirit among the subordinate
class.
Private accounts say the state of the west
of Ireland is very alarming. 1t is well known
that other land owners are marked for assas-
sinaiion, and will be shot on the first oppor-
tunity.

THE RACES.

Yesterday was one of those perfect ausumnai
days when it is delight to be alive. The
ar was pure and invigorating. A southerly
breeze kissed the waters of the Lake, and
raised ripples Of creamy foam here and there.
The roughness Of the water was the only
drawback which marred the otherwise
halcyon day. Flags danced in the wind.
The Lake was dotted with boats. The little
steamer "Messalonskee" was chartered by the
referees and reporters and answered the pur-
pose admirably. A. G. McVey Of the Bos-
ton Herald acted as referee; Charles l..
odlorne Of Portland, time keeper; and II. +.

Judges. After considerable delay the

IMPURE BREATH.

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay of the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most notifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusiblea and offensive in society
and yet the cause Of it may easily be re-
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. 1t purifes and sweetens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth, and
gives pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.

AN ARcHER's GKNRRos1TY.-A few weeks
ago Major E. X. Otey was at Treadway 8
Park watching Chris Zabriskie practising at
the target, and noting his gallant struggle to
master the recreation with inferior appliances
remarked: g Leok here Cap, those arrows
amt worth continental. That bow is aw-
fully snide, and if you don't get better tools
you'll never make an archer" These COM
ments were kept up until the youth slammed
down the bow and remarked: "Who the devil
asked you to come around here bothering me.
I'm dom this and don't you forget it. Don't
shoot your mouth at me or I'll make target
of ye." The Major laughed heartily and re-
piled: s'My dear boy I'll make yeu q present
of some good tools and we'll call it square. :"
He was as good as his word, and last night
Chris was net little astonished at receiving
$l3 snake wood bow, dozen Spalding ar
rows worth $40, an arm guard, gloves, tips,
culver, grease box, belt and cover, with the
Lone Archer's" compliments. The outfit
is bran new and valued at about $35. When
Otey was in San Francisco he won a number
of prizes and beat everything in sight, at the
State Fair however, he met his match, but in
the York round, which is 40 yards over his
regular distance he came out 9th with twenty
archers shooting.

WANToN DESTRUCTION OF FIsH.--The at
| tention of the District Attorney of Elko
county, is called to the fact that the law re-
garding fish in the streams of the State, is be-
ing openly violated by reason of the dams
which the ranchers along the Humboldt river
have constructed during the past season. Hub
Parker informs us that he turned loose $780,
600 fish in the Humboldt. As Fish Commits
sioner he is paid $4,000 year to stock the
streams of Nevada with trout, salmon and cat
fish, and his labors are neutralized by the stu
pidity of ranchers who build dams along the
river unprovided with fish ladders as the law
requires, and in consequence the fish perish
by the ton. 1t is the duty of any peace off.
Ger in the county to make complaint for such
offences. In few weeks, Mr. Parker will
hatch and distribute 100000 salmon, but
where the peace officers of the State do not
attend to their business, he might as well
throw the salmon eggs into the sewers.
