whether he should follow the advice of his

" hlte Head Meetinps.

The last of the White Head temperance
meetings took place yesterday. There were
none of the governors or ex-governors of New
England present, and, it should be said right
here, that before the presence of such people
is advertised the managers should know they
have consented to be present.
In the morning yesterday Rev. Mr.. Pitbla-
do of New Hampshire, Rev. Mr.. Allen-Camp
meeting John-of Pennington, ana Rev. Mr..
Estes of Augusta were present.
Rev. Mr.. Ptblado said some people say
Jones' ale is nourishing and port wine good to

physicians prescribe it. Such a physician
should be turned out of his profession. He
isn't tit for that responsible duty. You can
hold on the end of a penknife more noursh-
ment than in all the German beer. This is
scientific fact. Jesus turned water into
wine. True, but it was unfermented wine.
The one is blessing, the other curse If
Christ should turned water into wine to-day it
would be proper for us to drink it, l think.
We must make the people believe that wine is
a curse to the body and soul. If the people of
this country believed it was great evil don't
believe they would make a revenue of it. The
people of Maine exercise great influence for

A New Race Course.
OPERATIONS OF THE MEMBERS OF
THE NATIONAL OARSMEN'S ASSO-
CITATION IN MAINE.
The Portland Members Decide Upon
Course.

A few leading aquatic sportsmen, members
of the National Oarsmen's Association, have
been visiting the lakes near Auburn and the
adjoining towns to arrange for race in the
early autumn. On Monday the Portland mem
bers went there, and, after days pulling in
and about the six or eight miles of fresh water
ponds, decided to recommend Lake Mehento-
cook, and at once put up the necessary funds
to secure the erection of a judges stand on
the edge of the grove near the railway bridge,
where an unobstructed view can be had of
three and half miles of straight course. On
Wednesday Superintendent Tucker, of the
Maine Central Railway, with number of
railway and boating men, went there and ar
ranged the details for making the place Access
sible and convenient; and Wednesday the tim
Der arrived for grand stand in the grove,
while large force of men came up on
special, who are clearing away the under
growth in the woods skirting the proposed
course, putting in stagings, surveying for buoys
and landmarks. The railway skirts the pond

above it, and from fifteen to seventy-fye feet

of wind one side of the pond is sure to be
smooth. Thursday, when trial was made,
the east pond was found to be too rough for a
she'll, while the west pond was very smooth.
Both sides of the pord are under the eye of
the spectator from the grove, while the island
will afford excellent observation ground for
10000 people. The oarsmen claim that this
new point will attract the oid-time interest

has long been a training ground for Portland
oarsmen, and they are very confident that it
will be an intensely popular resort The plan
now is to have an opening race the first week
in August with six Or eight good scullers, and
in October have positive pull, in which Ross,
Hanlon, Plaisted, Davis, Courtney and other
celebrities will undoubtedly take hand.

Bowdoin College Library

Correspondence of the Boston Advertiser1
In Bowdoin there has happened during the
year to the society libraries what has happened
to similar libraries in other colleges, and what
by analogy, will happen to them where they
are yet distinct They have been absorbed by
the college library The Peucinian and
Athen9an libraries, numbering eleven or
twelve thousand volumes, havs swelled the
number of volumes in the college library to
about $1,000. Within short tine, Mr., II. W
Longfellow has given the college the COM
plete set of Poems of Places" edited by him
self and published recently, by the late firm
of Houghton, Osgood & Co., and Mr.. Edward
Stanwood of Boston, of the class of 81, has
also presented several volumes to the library
just now, the pressing need of the
library is a larger fund for the annual
purchase of books and for necessary re-
pairs. AT present an annual appropriation
from the college funds is customsTy, and the
selections of new books are usually made by
the venerable Professor A. S. Packard, with
occasional assistance from the president,
though nominally the whole matte is in the
hands of he'faculty Public documents from
Washington, government surveys and collec-
tons from the Smithsonian institute are re-
ceived the same as at other colleges, and from
200 to 3OO volumes a year are added by pur-
chase. During the past year the purchases
have been very few This should be said in
justification of the Ibrary,-that it is more
valuable than would appear from he num-
Der of volumes with which it is credited. 1t
contains books from the Bowdoin family libra
ry which belong to the ante-revdutionary
period. Four thousand volumes cane from
the collection of James Bowdoiu, the son of
old Governor Bowdoin of Massachusetts, from
whom the college was named. Among these
volumes were many of the time of the French
revolution and of the early part of the present
century, which belong to the departments of
both literature and science. Rich as it was,
it so impressed the Judgment of the late Pro-
fessor Cleaveland that he said it was better
library for the use of students than was the
library of Harvard College when he was tutor
there, which was in 1902. English literature
was early strong feature of the library, and
many gifts of that character were the gift of
Madame Sarah Bowdoin, wife of James Bow
doin. About 1900 volumes were presented
by Mr.. Benjamin Vaughan of Hallowel. and
some valuable books came through the kind
ness of General Knox of Revolutionary fame.
One of the rare books in the library is large
folio of the Scriptures, bearing date o. 1882,
and the Oldest book is Nicholas De Lyra
Testament Of 1886. A great deal of thu older

English literature is in the possession of the
college, Copies of the Brooches Bible and
Tyndale's Bible are here, also many writings
OF the early Latin and Greek fathers, and
much OF the old theological writings. German
and French literature of recent times is also
feature of the collection
In the library room are some busts worth
mention. A gift of Mr.. Longfellow is the
bust OF Professor Greene of Rhode Island, a
grandson OF General Greene of the Revolu
ton 1t was made by the sculptor Crawford, in
Rome, in 1S40 A particularly spirited and
natural bust of Jeremiah Mason has prom
iDent place, and there is fine bust of Pro-
lessor Packard, which was made in 1862, by
Mr.. FRANKLIN Simmons. (artist OF the Edward
Little statue in Auburn who rendered SINH
lar service in making the bust of Leonard
Woods, which is also in the library. Profess
sor Packard is now in his eighty-third year,
with cheeks ruddier than most men have at
ffty, and has been present at every college
commencement since his graduation in 1872.
He rarely fails to recognize any man who, as
a student, has recited to him, and if the fea-
lures have changed too much for recognition,
the voice will in most cases, bring the name
to mind. story goes with the jeremiah
Mason bust to explain its peculiar. expression
and excellence He was engaged in a case
before the United States court when the artist
was at work. A suggestion was made to the
artist to step into the courtroom, for possibly
he might catch an expression worth preserving
lie dld So AT the moment an opinion OF
Lord Brougham was cited as authority on a
point of law. Mason exclaimed, with con-
tempt, "What is Lord Brougham's opinion
worth here?" And the wonderful expression
in his face was successfully caught by the
artist. In the library is also bust of Benja-
Franklin gave it to Benjamin. Vaughan, and
Vaughan gave it to the college. 1t represents
Poor Richard when he was advanced in life
During the year the idea has been entertained
of making collection of casts of the best
specimens OF antique sculpture. Three or
four hundred dollars have been raised already
by Professor Henry johnson, one of the in
structors and it is hoped to make the enter
prise successful when the upper story of Me-
mortal hall is ready for its original object
pears to have been brought here by Professor
Henry Carmichael, who is graduate of Am
herst, an intimate friend of Professor Mather,
who made the collection there.

The Sleepine Princess.

The play of the Sleeping Princess" was
brought out before a crowded house at Pine
st. Theatre, yesterday afternoon and evening.
Miss Loring rendered the part of the Princess
in an admirable manner and Miss Brooks was
equally effective as the Prince. The parts of
Pitania and the wicked fairy were successfully
taken by Miss Hall and Miss Pitcher. The
other characters were well sustained, especial
ly that OF the infant princess, who, being re-
luctant to remain in her cradle, was bribed by
magnificent offering of pennies. This neat
little theatre is situated in large and COM
modious building with two means rof egress in
casa of fire; one through the large portals on
