INDEPENDENCE DAY.
Its Celebration in Portland and Vicinity

The quietest Independence Day Portland
has witnessed for years was celebrated Mon
day, most of the citizens going out of town to
observe the occasion. The night previous was
very quiet even in those quarters where noise
usually reigns supreme and it was not until a
few patriotic sections, without hope of reward,
ushered in the day with clangor of church
bells-which could willingly have been dis
pensed with-that Portland was aware that
the holiday was fairly upon her. Bunting was
generally displayed from private as we'll as
public buildings. A few well known residents
kept open house where their friends received
most cordial welcome from early morn to long
after dewy eve. The sound of fire-cracker
cannon and pistol was not unusual, although
the young folks were not disposed to impose
upon the permission custom had granted them
During the day large numbers visited the
islands, the various boats having their capac-
ity fully tested and schooners becoming
necessary to accommodate the overflow, tugs
being employed to tow them. A great many
went to Old Orchard, Cape Elizabeth, Hollis
and elewhere. In the evening there were
many private displays of fireworks.
fhESUMPSCOT PARK RACES.
There was large attendance at Presump-
scot Park in the AFTERNOON to witness the races.
The first race was for $50 class. Purse 500,
$50 to first, $25 to second. $15 to third The
following were the entries:
Charles Records, Portland, ms. blk M Draco

A. ;. Doughty, Deerng, ms. b. m. Little Daisy.
"; Y. HAL, Portland ms. b. G. Black Arthur.
"m irish, W1ndham, ms. b. G. Brown Dick.
Black Arthur won the race in three straight
heats but it was evident that the other drivers
were holding back their horses On the last
quarter OF the second heat Draco Princess
travelled past Black Arthur some six lengths,
apparently before her driver could choke her
back, and neglected to take the pole, letting
Black Arthur take the inside and go under
the wire with the pole. The third heat was
similar in action. Black Arthur took first
money in 2.45, 247, 24S Little Daisy was
second. Draco Princess third, Brown Dick
fourth, Roger distanced
The free to all race had purse offered of
$i5O, $50 to first, $40 to second, 1915 to third.
The entries were:

ceding it being apparently all one way Ano-
dyne won in three straight heats, Dispatch

EUROPE.
The German Church Bill.

Lis GSILldu CnurCn Dill.
LONDON, July 21.--The Berlin correspondent
of the Times, discussing Emperor Williams
sanction of the church bill, says: 1t may be
stated that already the Catholics are be-
ginning to recognize the sincere desire of the
government for peace All reports from ST.
lesia, the Rhine provinces and Westphalia an
nounce that the people are very we'll satisfied
with the measures OF the government, for they
hope soon again to have divine services in the
churches The leaders of the Centre party
have have therefore been obliged to cease
their attempts to agitate the people and to
quit their attacks upon the government. The
last meeting of the Catholics arranged by the
heads of the Ultramontane Propaganda at
Cologne was distinguished by moderation al
most unknown during the last lew years. The
meeting declared its firm conviction that the
whole of the May laws should be abolished,
and that the government should be able to re-
ly perfectly on the support of the Vatican and
the Centre party, if they are willing to restore
peace and preserve the inalienable rights of
the church. All the speeches were very con-
cliatory and all offensive expressions calcu-
lated to offend the government were carefully
avoided. 1t was first proposed to hold meet
ing of the National Liberals, but the PROPOSE
ton was not regarded as apropos, as many diff
ferences will probably arise again. An armis-
tice seems now to have been concluded be-
tween the two wings of the party.
Death of Earl Dalhousie.
Earl Dalhousie is dead. His son, Lord Ram
say, member of Parliament for Liverpool, will
succeed to the peerage.
Turkey Will Offer Crete to Greece.
A correspondent at Constantinople says that
he is assured that a proposal will again be
made at the Cabinet council to cede to Greece
the Island of Crete instead of the territory
awarded by the British conference.
Foreign Notes.
