complimentary banquet last evening as rec
ognition of the military efficiency displayed by
the company last Saturday at Lake Marano-

pany in full ranks and uniform, preceded by
Chambers Band! commenced the march to
the United States Hotel, passing up Plum
street to Middle, down Middle to Exchange,
up Exchange to Congress, and through Con-
gress to to the hotel. The streets were lined
with spectators who evinced great admiration
at the military precision, soldierly bearing and
splendid marching of the Guards.
The Cadets armory at cid city hall was
ornamented with bunting and the Cadets gave
three hearty cheers for the champions as they
passed, as did also the large crowd which
lined the sidewalks in front of the hotel.
The spacious dining hall of the hotel was
we'll flied, and the sumptuous banquet which
greeted the men was amply sufficient to graft
Hassett presided, and Chandler's Band dis
coursed fine music during the banquet. After
full justice was done to the many good things,
Alderman Hassett called the assembled guests
together in a few appropriate remarks.
Speeches were made by Inspector General
Lynch Capt. Hartnett, Adjutant SWEET, COL
McQuillan, VIM. McAleney, VIM. 81. Looney,

Shells tVindication of Ireland" and songs
were sung by Edward Doherty, John Hoyt,
Lieut.. John J. Lappin, Corp. Patrick Ford,
Sergt. Thomas Lappin and Private Corners.
An original poem by Corp. Patrick McCallum
created much amusement.
Alderman Hassett in behalf of the honorary
members presented Capt. Hartnett and Corp.
Patrick McCallum each with an elegant
bouquet.
The following gentlemen were appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws for permanent
association of the honorary members: VIM.

Veteran Reunion.

At the meeting of the executive committee
held last evening great enthusiasm was dis.
played by the members of the committee and
the many visitors present at the rooms, at the
bright prospects and very encouraging reports
from'different parts of the State.
The veteran sailors held a very enthusiastic
meeting and organized company for the
sham fight. AS the tide does not come right
on the 18th of August to use their gun boats,
they concluded to take land position and as.
sist in reducing the English works. The
prospect now is that there will be no lack of
veterans to take part in the fight. 1t would
be impossible to find position in the State
where sham battle could be exhibited with
SO much advantage as in the locality that has
been selected. The Western Promenade
which overlooks the whole field, and is in SO
close proximity as to make it easy to see every
movement of the battle, is sufficiently comm O.
dious for any number of people that may
gather there.
A subscription was started yesterday on
Commercial street to defray the expense and
entertain the Second Regiment Maine Militia,
which was generously responded to by the
citizens, and to-day it will be continued on
Middle and Congress streets.
The Maine Veteran Association of Massa-
chusetts has informed the committee that they
will start from Boston on the Eastern road at
1890 p. M, August 23d, arriving here on the
o'clock train, and will proceed at once to the
encampment.
There is a large inquiry for lodgings and
table board, and the committee will consider
it favor if all those who desire to take
dodgers and table boarders will leave their
names at the committee rooms.
The following gentlemen have been invited
to serve as reception committee, viz: Gen.
Francis Fessenden, Gen. James D. Fessenden,
Gen. B. B. Murray, Jr., Maj.ssH. s. Melcher,
Maj. S. c. Gordon, Maj. 81. N. Small, Capt.
John W. Deering, Capt. Chas. W. Ford,

B. Swift was chosen president, W. E. Themes

Deering.

Mr.. Hayden's appointment as postmaster at
Stevens Plains has given universal satisfac-
ton. Miss Ella Cox, recent graduate of
Westbrook Seminary, has the management of
the office and is virtually postmistress. The
Office has been moved into suitable building
and the rooms are newly painted and put in
good condition. New boxes are supplied and
conveniences .for directing and even writing
letters are provided for the use of the public.
The post office department has also put on adj
ditional mails, all, in fact, that has been asked
for.
Confectionery, stationery and fancy goods
are to be sold in a room adjacent to the office.
Nothing is to be kept for sale that will attract
loaferS and make the place nuisance. The
people of Stevens Plains are to be congratu-
lated upon having such neat and convenient
post office and such efficient officials.

HaVerlY's Minstrels.

The Brooklyn Times says of Haverly's Min
streis, who will appear at City Hall tonight:
"The performance opened with a grand over
ture by the entire company. after which sew
eral songs and choruses were sung with splen-
did effect. They were interspersed with
dialogues, puns, etc., that kept the audience
in perpetual roar of laughter. The whole
performance closed with the acrobatic terp-
sichorean achievements of the unequalled
Jockey Club Team," whose dancing was
alone worth while going to see, and in their
splendid and sparkling costumes beneath the
silvery beams of a calcium light they formed a
splendid picture. One word before closing this
notice We must not forget to speak word of
praise for the silver horn quartette Their
rendering of "Hail! Smiling Morn was a
musical treat, the pianissimo parts being ex-
quisitely DONE"

A Maine Mans Adventure in the West.
A correspondent of the Bangor Wing
sends the following:
Charles T. Ames, a Maine man, is at work
numbering on the Snohomish river, four miles
from Snohomish City Washington Territory
He has recently written to his father, MI.
James G. Ames, giving an account of per-
sonal encounter with grizzly bear. HIS
letter in substance is as follows: About hall a
mile from the camp there is a rising piece OF
ground that was once heavily timbered, but
the timber having been cut off about year
ago, it has now become solid growth OF
blackberry vines. Several bears mad peen
seen in that vicinity at different times Dy
various members of the crews, some OF whom
had shot at the "varmints." Among the bears
July Goth, the writer thought he would try
his luck. Armed with heavy muzzle- load
ing rifle, double-tarrel shot gun, loaded with
buck-shot, and five shot Smith q Wesson
revolver, he started for the clearing, reaching
which he mounted tall stump and after
waiting for nearly an hour discovered gr1z.
ely on the opposite side of the clearing. His
back could be seen above the weeds and Dushes
Taking branch road, the writer moved
cautiously until he came within sight OF the
old fellow again at a much nearer distance.
Mounting stump eight feet high, fine view
of the old fellow was obtained, but our hunter
was also observed by the grizzly at the same
moment. The writer continues II took
careful aim with the rifle, pointing at the old
fellows shoulders and fred. He was then not
more than forty yards away, and before l had
time to wink twice he was at the roots of the
stump. gave him both barrels of the shot
gun square in the face, but this did not stop
him; he began to climb the stump. Then
went for my revolver, and gave him three
shots into his head and mouth, the fourth shot
taking effect squarely in the left eye. He
then let go and fell back. 1 saw that had
fixed him, but did not get down until 1 had
plugged the last shot in my revolver into his
head. Pretty soon the boys came from the
camp. and it was all eight of us could do to get
him sout where we could get him with a
sled. We took the old fellow to camp, where4
we found that he weighed 1898 pounds. Iire-
ceived ten dollars bounty

18th Maine Regiment Association

A meeting of the former veterans of this
regiment was held last evening, 1t being the
anniversary of their muster into service, which
occurred August IS, 1862. Their record, as
with other regiments from Maine was good,
and the survivors as time elapses, grow nearer
to each other in personal feelings of respect
and regard, memory bringing to mind by these
reunions time which history now records;
but which, as participants in the scenes of
war, cannot with them be forgotten
The customary business Of the Association
was deferred by adjournment to the general
gathering of Maine veterans, to be held in this
city the coming week, the success of which
was manifested by those present with euthusi-
asm and interest. An adjourned meeting will
be held Monday, Aug. 22d.

ETHAN ALIENS.
How the vermonters Passed Yesterday

Yesterday morning the Ethan Aliens with
their guests took the 10 a. m. train for Old Or
chard where they passed the day. To many
it was the first experience of the beach and sea-
bathing. The clouds were leaden and the
weather cool, but Notwithstanding these
drawbacks many INDUCED in their first bath
in old ocean. An excellent dinner was served at
the Ocean House, and Sherman's Band treat
ed the guests at the beach to some fine music.
Soon after five o'clock the Burlington party re-
turned to the city the band playing lively
march as they passed down Middle street to
the Falmouth Hotel.
In the evening the Portland gentlemen who
had made the acquaintance of the visitors as
sembled in the rotunda of Ithe hotel together
with the Ethan Aliens, and upon call, Hon
Henry S. Ballard of Burlington made brief
speech. He thanked the citizens sof Portland
in behalf of the Ethan Aliens, for the hopital-
tiles that had been rendered them, and said
tLat while Ethan Allen captured Ticonderoga,
Portland had captured the Ethan Aliens.
Mr.. Billiards. remarks were very appropriate.
Mayor Senter responded, deprecating any spec
ial praise for our citizens for what they had
done, and expressing the hope that the spleas-
ant relations now formed might be cemented
by further meetings. Sherman's Band played
lively air and the remarks of the gentlemen
were received with much applause
The band headed the Ethan Aliens and then
visited the various engine houses where they
were received most Hospitality and to each of
which the band rendered delightful serenade.
The music was much enjoyed by the great
crowd of citizens who tagged the band. Mayor
Senter was also serenaded at his residence, and
responded briefly. Later in the evening the
band serenaded DR.. B. B. Foster, who received
a number of the prominent gentlemen in his
rooms in the tCahoon Block, where remarks
were made by Mayor Hatch, Gen. Henry,
Hon. 81. S. Ballard, Mayor Senter, Alderman
Deering, Mr.. G. Mclaughlin, and other gen.
tlemen, and glee club, composed of Messrs.
Morgan, Fernald, Thomas and Shaw rendered
several selections admirably.
To-day the Ethan Aliens leave for home at
an early hour. Their visit has been one of
pleasure to our people and we trust to them
selves also. The committee of citizens have
