Portland Men at Phillips Academy


The ten men annually chosen by the differ
emit classes of Phillips Academy, Andover,
Mass, as the contestants for the Draper
speaking prizes, engaged in the struggle on
Friday evening, this being the fourteenth year
of this prize giving. The audience was I'M
usually large and interested, the speaking
credtable in every respect. In addition to the
regular exercises there was the presentation of
a portrait of a distinguished member of the
Academy, that of Leonard Woods, D. D. LII.
D., which was presented by Gen. John M.
Brown, class of '56. The presentation address
was short but crowded with interesting infor-
nation concerning DR.. Woods. The speaker
sketched his life in Andover as pupil and
teacher, his call to professorship in Bangor
Theological Seminary in 1886, and in 1869 to
the Presidency of Bowdoin College. He also
in a lively manner sketched the visit of the
genial scholar to Europe, and his cordial re-
ception by the 'creme de la creme" of society
He spoke reverently of his death, which oc-
CURED on Christmas eve. The portrait was
given by Mr.. Perkins of Boston, the friend
and executor of DR.. Woods.
DIR. Bancroft accepted the trust in a few APP
propriate words, pleasantly clinching the re-
marks of the speaker by a moral drawn from
Christian life of the revered dead While the
committee of award ex-Gov Frederick
Smyth, Rev. E. G.. Porter and Gen. j. M
Brown-were deciding upon the contestants
for the speaking prizes, the Phillips Glee
Club entertained the audience in their usual
acceptable manner. The ''prize men" were:
First, III. ]. Brown, Portland, Me-; second, P.
I. Nickerson, Andover; third, Moses Brown,
Jr., Philadelphia.

A Rare Chance.

There are very few people probably in thi
vicinity who are unacquainted with the beau.
tiful property at Pond Cove, Cape Elizabeth,
known as the Stafford estate. 1t is unsurpassed
as summer residence ON account of the mag
nifcent sea-view, and all the advantageous
told in the advertisement of summer resort
while in winter it is sunny and pleasant be-
cause it faces the south and is protected from
all cold north and east winds. This property
will be sold at auction to-day, on the premises,
at four o'clock, and should call out large at.
tendance of real estate owners and spirited
bidding. Investors will probably never have
another such a chance as this sale affords
Plans of the property can be seen at 20.

The exercises of the day were under the SUPER
intendence of Mr.. H. r. Chaplin, class of 80,
as Master OF Ceremonies, who conducted them
with entire satisfaction to all concerned, since
it has been the most successful event of the
kind for years in point of interest and en-
thusiasm. The judges, however, seem to have
been unfortunate in their record of time by
making mistakes and confusing things gener-
ally. In some instances the contests had to be
repeated. The announcements of Nos 1 and
IL were received with groans and Kisses on ac-
count of the difference between the official
time and that noted by many of the boys. 1t
is said that the actual record of Lawrence Yves
8.15, and in his practice he has constantly kept
it under nine minutes. Appended is the official
record:

The dissatisfaction with Lawrences time in
the one mile walk as announced by the judges
was such that he repeated it to-day, making
the distance in Z minutes and As seconds,
which is the best college time on record, Sayre
of Columbia at the recent intercollegiate ath-
letic contest at Mott Haven, having made
7.54 %. The records of the running high
jump, quarter of a mile run and standing long
jump at Colby are also ahead of those at the
intercollegiate contests.

at the ankle; and although very strong man
of robust constitution it is feared that he can
not long survive the operation. Drs. Gordon

the amputation. Mr.. Paine is about 30 years
