Field-Day OF the Maine Historical So
ciety.
The Maine Historical Society with their
ladies and others invited, will make an excur-
sion to Casiine on Tuesday, the 21st, taking
steamer at Rockland. Further notice will be
given next week.
ENo town in New England has more roman
tic history than Castine. Father Biard. a
French missionary, was there as early as 1911.
Father Leo erected a chapel within the French
fort in 1913. The buildings were of hewn
stone and the chapel had turret and bell to
call to mathis and vespers. The fort built in
1913 was defended by twenty-four pieces of
ordnance. The copper plate with an inscrip-
tion, which was placed under foundation stone
of the chapel, was found near the site few
years ago This is the English of the inscrip-
ton: "1648, Jan. 8, I, Friar Leo of Paris,
Capuchin missionary, laid this foundation
stone in honor of our Lady of Holy Hope
The Plymouth Colony had a trading house
there fin 1626-were driven off by the
French in 1852. Cromwells forces retook the
place in 1854. 1t was surrendered to the
French at the treaty of Breda. The Dutch

The Thursday Night Demonstration.

me thursday Night Demonstration.
In announcing the number of torches in line
ON Thursday night, at the Republican demor-
stratlon, we were too low in our estimate.
This was owing to the fact that it was impossi-
bic to get the exact number of men in line at
the start as some companies did not arrive in
town until the route was taken up. The Gar
field Artillery was accidentally omitted from
the published list of the procession. They
numbered 80 men under Capt Morrill,, and
their gun gave frequent salutes all along the
line of march. The Gorham Cavalry Com
pany had 100 men instead of 60, and there was
the Gorham Cornet Band besides of Is pieces
Ii these figures had been added to our estimate
yesterday morning the sum total would have
made 1884 torches.
Among the Examinations accidentally omit
ted yesterday were the elaborate decorations at
G. A. Browns, State street, E. H. Sise's, Cum
berland street, Capt. G. W. Bunker's, North
street, w. G. Soules, Merrill street, Mr.. Chas.
Foyes, Mrs Alfred Dresser's Spring street, Mrs.

land, Merrill Places and w. F. Clements.

on Free street,and Messrs. W. A. Taylor's and
M. A. Best's on the same street. At Mr.. Trick
ey's on Portland street, Mr.. Princes on New
High street,and at another house on the route.
young misses dressed in white occupied the
windows and made great addition to the
beauty of the scene. Mr.. D. HI. Chandler, the
bandmaster, on Oxford street, made fine dis:
play. Mr.. A. B. Stephenson's on State street
was Illuminated, and Mr. T. Cobb on Paris
street had maple tree splendidly decorated
The houses of Edmund Abbott, j. X.
Brett, and R. Smardon, Portland street. and
j. G. Stevens, Bracket street, looked finely.

The Grand Army were unfortunate in wealth.
er yesterday, but to old veterans that was
matter of minor consequence. The boys had
undergone too many privations during the war
to mind a little rain now. In the morning the
Portland Cadets and Collins Portland band
marched to the Eastern and Boston and Maine
depots and escorted them to the Republican
and Democratic headquarters where breakfast
was served by Bosworth Post of this city. At
half-past nine o'clock Bosworth Post headed
by Chambers band, and accompanied by the
visiting posts marched to Hampshire street and
formed in line on Congress street. The First

The Hon. G. W. Goddard was introduced.
Judge Goddard said that the city Of Portland
had been once responded to, and that he, HIM
self, had said all that he had to say when he
had the great honor to address Bosworth Post
on the evening of Memorial Day, 1879 Port
land has been and is a loyal city, and he
touched eloquently on the military history of
the city, and paid glowing tribute to the Iiv-
ing and dead heroes OF Portland, and remind
ed the audience that Portland has yet one duty
to perform as city, to build soldiers monu-
ment. One thing he would say, one thing for
the people of Portland to the Post, that thew
were ashamed of the weather. He had care
fully looked over the political field and felt safe
in predicting that soldier, as all four of the
candidates are Generals, is to be elected
President of the United States.
