THE REGATTA.
Some Features Just Arranged.

Tuesday the committee of the Rowing
Association visited Lake Mehanticook and
there laid out the courses for the great regatta
which will come off August4th. They also
located the grand stands which will be so
situated they will command the courses,
whichever side of the lake the regatta should
take place, and these stands will have accom-
modations for $1,000 spectators. There will be
several elegant pavilions for dancing and for
bands who will furnish music during the day,
Andrews Cornet Band of Bangor, Miller's OR
Glover's bands of Lewiston and Auburn, or
possibly both, and Chambers Band of this
city. Two of these bands will be quadrille
bands. For the six cared race it is known
there will be four entries, two well known
clubs of Boston, one from New York and one
from Providence For the batteaux race there
are five entries already made and this will be
one Of the most novel and greatest features of
the day. A prize Of over $500 will be afforded
to the single scull, and over $500 for the four
cared professional races. The four cared race
will be four miles, the single scull three and
the batteaux three or four. The race between
the Penobscot, Androscoggin and Kennebec
Indians will prove an exciting event. There
the morning and one later, and the races will
begin about l p. m. The return trains will
reach Portland about s p. m. The situation of
the regatta is charming, and Superintendent
Tucker will afford the most ample facilities.

FUSION OR NO FUSION.
What Mr.. j. f. Turner Has to Say.

Mr.. j. F. Turner was called upon at his res
idence at 80 May street and asked if he had
anything to add to the articles published in
the New Era-Leader. Mr.. Turner said that in
his Judgment if the wishes of large majority
OF the Greenback voters III this district are
respected by the coming convention Mr.. e. H.
Cove will again receive the nomination, and
that without regard to the course that the
Democratic party may take in regard to the
Congressional nomination. Mr.. Turner add
ed: "Gen. Anderson can't be nominated in
the Greenback convention unless the conven-
ton is packed. do not think that the con-
ventIon is likely to be packed in Anderson's
interest, but do think that it is liable to be
packed in the interest of Elliot King, whose
nomination I should regard as equally detri-
mental to the interests of the Greenback par
regard him as a tool of the Democracy. and
should he be elected, should expect that he
would be controlled by Dem ocratic influ-
ences''
To the question if he had any reason to ex-
pect Kings nomination, Mr.. Turner replied:
None whatever, except that l think that he
is trying hard to secure delegation pledged
to that end. That, in connection with the
TACT that the basis of our delegation has been
reduced from one in fifty to one in sixty-fve,
and with less delegates there are less to labor
with, and also the fact that the Democrats
nave called their convention for the same day,
that they will be here in force, and that a
strong influence will be exerted by the mem
bers OF that convention over the members of
Oh
possible
why do you assume that King is tool of
Inc democracy" was the next question, and
MIR. Turner replied: "Knowing as 1 do that
another prominent candidate for the same
Office That he is trying to secure nomination
for has been offered valuable consideration
in the way of national patronage to take him
self out OF the field, have no doubt but that
the same offer has been made to Mr. King,
My idea is that the plan may include three
separate points. First. that King, in the event
OF his nomination, should withdraw in favor
OF Anderson; second, retire from the contest
and leave the voters free to support Anderson
tnlrd, II he sees any possible chance for An
derson,s nomination in our convention to turn
over what OF his strength he can to Ander-
SON.
WHAT" inquired the PRESS reporter. s.ln
your Judgment would be the effect on the old
line Greenbackers if King or Anderson should
be nominated"
II decline to answer that question: replied
Mr.. Turner
MIR. Turner seemed disinclned to discuss
the question of how fusion in the State at
large may be affected by the failure to effect
"a more perfect union" between the Green
hackers and Democrats of this district, except
to say, There is no fusion in the State at
large. Gen. Plaisted was nominated by the
Greenback convention without consulting the
wishes of the Democracy in the slightest de-
gree, without the convention being compro-
missed in the slightest degree, or the party be-
ing compromised in the slightest degree

Disappearance of q Theatrical Manager.

Disappearance of q Theatrical Manager.
A despatch from Eastport few days ago an
nouncing the death of Mr.. Fred Stinson, a
we'll known theatrical manager proves to have
been incorrect. Mr.. Stinson has been travel
ling in the Provinces with the Boston Comedy
Company of twenty-one members, and has ex-
perienced disastrous tour. Besides his finan-
cial troubles he has suffered much from rheu-
matte affection OF the chest which has not
only kept him in severe pain for hours at
time, but has attacked him frequently within
the past three weeks, and made him much us
like himself. His company played in several
places in the Provinces. but lost money contin-
ually. Mr. Stinson wrote for assistance to
Boston acquaintance, but could get no relief at
his hands. The company played at Frederic
ton under the auspices of The Micawber club,
and again at st. Stephens under similar ar
rangement-the club and the company each
taking share of the receipts AT Fredericton
Mr. Stinson, knowing that he should need
help, spoke to a wealthy member of the club,
who promised to assist him The promise was
made in the presence of the hotel keeper, and
upon his departure from Fredericton Mr.. Sim
son gave the landlord draft OF S71 on the
gentleman mentioned above. Soon after his
arrival at st. Stephens what was Mr. Stinsons
surprise to be arrested for debt, and to learn
that it was for the hotel charge To Jail he
went but the bill was soon paid, and he was
released. This seemed to add much to his
previous depression from debt and physical
pain, aud he did not seem like himself for the
entire week before his disappearance Last
Sunday he was in the hotel at Calais, Me-,
with Mrs Stinson and Mr.. Charles Henry, the
property man of the company He was busy
writing, and afterwards took his hat, with
nothing else whatever, and went out. That
was the last which has been seen of him by the
members of the company. 1t was found that
he had left a letter to his wife-written, appar
emily, while she and Mr.. Henry were in the
room-in which he asked her to show Mr..
Henry what he had written and not reveal its
contents to any one else, and which contained
a request that Mr. Henry should have care
for Mrs. Stinson. 1t was evidently intended
as a farewell letter. All his papers and &C
counts were found to be perfectly we'll kept,
and everything was brought down to the date
of his departure with the most methodical ex-
actness. So far that would indicate his sanity,
but his previous action was not natural. Mr.
Henry went as soon as it could be decided
what to dot was then 10 o'clock Sunday eve
ning-to St. Stephens, thinking that perhaps
Mr.. Stinson had gone 10 the hotel there. There
he saw person who seemed to know more
than he told, and who told what he evidently
did not know, about having seen Mr.. Stinson
in Calais only twenty minutes before. From
what Mr.. Henry learDed it is possible that Mr..
Stinson took a boat and went down the river.
But nothing more could be ascertaned.

Our AnOlOQV.

We have disappointed many persons in Port
land but it was unintentional. Last Saturday
we commenced advertising our Hollis Bitter
Malt Tonic in the PRESS. We had made a
large shipment to our general agents John w.
Perkins & Coz on the Monday previous, and
had no doubt of its arrival by Saturday. But
it did not come, and the many persons who
called on our retail agents for it went away
disappointed. We desire to say that this will
not occur again. The trade is now supplied,
and we mean to keep it so.
This is not only the best M alt preparation,
but the greatest Stomach and Liver Regulator
ever offered to suffering humanity. Indigestion,
Acid Stomach, Nervous debility, Brain Wear
mess, Kidney Troubles, &C., rapidly disappear
when this mild but powerful remedy is used.

THE JAIL BREAKERS.
One of Them Possibly at Lake Sebagc.

All day yesterday nothing was heard from
the jail breakers, Richmond and Yeaton, that
was in any way authoritative.
Last night dispatch was received by Sheriff
Dresser to the effect that two men were stop
ping at the hotel at Lake Sebago who, it was
thought, were the parties wanted. The sheriff
Immediately telegraphed to his correspondents
to see if they answered the printed description.
About II o'clock he received an answer that led
him to believe that one of the men was one of
those he wanted but not the other. To satisfy
himself he drove out to the Lake, and if either
is Richmond or Yeaton Sheriff Dresser has
probably got him by this time.
