r abroad Notes.

The rumors in regard to the resignation of
President White, of the Boston & Moline,
probably owe their origin to the we'll known
fact that Mr.. White will retire from the posi-
tion at the expiration of the present year,
when he will have occupied the office for ten
years. And when that time arrives it is quite
probable that Vice President Lord will succeed
to the vacant position.
Nine first class passenger cars are now build.
ing for the Boston & Maine Railroad Company
and will be put on during the present season.
Three new baggage cars have already been
added to the stock of this road within a few
weeks.
The head offices of the Canada-Atlantic
Railway Company have been removed to Otta-
wa, where all future meetings will be held
The contractor, Hon. D. c. Linsley, is pro-
crossing rapidly on construction, employing a
large force of men. He has purchased in
England 5000 tons of steel rails, part of which
are now en- route. The Grand Trunk, it is un-
derstood. will arrange with the Canada-Atlan-
tic Railway for the Ottawa and Montreal bust
ness, for which the two roads are admirably
situated. The people of Portland and New
England should be awake to the Importance of
this new route, which may become OF great
advantage and benefit to the commercial and
business interests of this city. 1t will be read
lily seen by consulting a map of the country
through which the Canada-Atlantic road is to
run that the route has superior advantages over
any other existing line. 1t forms an almost
air line from Ottawa to the head of Lake
Champlain, where direct connection can be
had with the Portland & Ogdensburg for Port
land and New England points. Looking to
the future, it is the purpose of both the Grand
Trunk and Canada Pacific Railways to push
their lines through to the vast grain fields of
Minnesota and Dakota by way OF the Sault
Ste Marie, where diroct connection will be
made with the Northern Pacific Railway sys-
tenn. The Portland & Ogdensburg will he
greatly benefited by this new short route from
the great Northwest to the seaboard, which
will effect saving of soma 400 miles distance
| over any other line

Mr.. Vennor 'predicts" wet June, with fire.
quent severe winds and thunder storms, and
probable frosts between thet5th and 10th of the
month. He says: 'The north waters are
only coming down now, which is an indication
OF wet June. The warmest part of June is
likely to occur between the Goth and 25th,
when the heat may be excessive" The proph-
ct has been anticipated a little in one of his

Bowdoin College.

BRUNSWICK, June 8, 1881.
The day for the annual field and Ivy day
exercises opened very favorably as far as pleas
ant weather was concerned, but unfavorably
for the exercises. The ball game which had
been arranged between the Bowdoins and
Bates did not come off in consequence of the
Bates men failing to put in their appearance.
The reason given by the manager of the Bates
nine was that their catcher had sprained his
ankle and was unable to play. Mr.. Wilbur,
however, their catcher, was down to witness
the races in the afternoon and seemed able to
get along as we'll as usual. The general opinion
among the students here is that the Bates are
afraid to play us, this being the third time our
manager has attempted to arrange game with
them without success.
The tub race came off on the Androscoggin
river at p. M The race was very interesting
and exciting, and was won by FL. A. Bascom.

In consequence of the exceedingly rough
water the boat race was postponed until &. 80
this morning Large crowds were present to
witness the races, and showed much enthusiasm
and interest.
The Senior crew did not participate, their
bow oarsman, Mr. e. W. Larrabee, being
obliged to stop training on account of sickness.

zeal shown in training up to the last two

IMPURE BREATH.

Among all the disagreeabe consequences
that follow the decay OF the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most Notifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it Is
the mostinexcnsibleand offensive in socitl, !;
and yet the cause of it may easily be re
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. It puriies and sweetens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth, and
gives a pearllike appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors Of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.
