Shailer School House.

A hearing before the full board of the school
committee was given to the citizens of Ward
last evening. The special committee made
no report to the board before the hearing was
granted, SO that no argument was had upon
the acceptance or rejection of their recon-
mendation, but it was understood that the
special committee was divided in opinion. Mr..
Brewer believing that the school should be or
ganized with all grades of primary and gram
mar departments.
The delegation from the ward consisted OF
about forty of the representative men, embrac-
ing gentlemen from all portions of the ward,
and their wishes were presented and pressed
upon the board. The discussion was in a per-
fectly friendly manner and devoid of all per-
sonal illusions.
Mr.. Libby's principal objection was that the
removal of the grammar school scholars from
the North school would be a detrment to the
scholars remaining. This argument was met
by the counter statement that Mr.. Files has
already established his reputation as success
full teacher, and that he will fulfil all the du-
ties devolving upon him if he takes the schol-
ars within his district and does the best he can
with the material furnished him.
An offer was made by the committee to es-
tablish afourth class in the grammar depart
ment this year with the promise of another
class each succeeding year until the four classes
were established, but the citizens present
claimed that the committee could give no
guaranty which would be binding on their sue

Portland Lumber Trade.

A correspondent writes to the Northwestern
Lumberman, from Portland, as follows:
came to this place recently by invitation Of
Mr.. B. W. Richardson, the Boston representa-
tive of the Berlin Mills Company. Portland is
a beautiful city, and has one of the most mag
ni6cent harbors ever saw. The view from
the top of the hill across the immense back
bay, and into the mountainous interior beyond.
is superb. Business generally, and especially
the lumber trade in Portland, is very good
There are some twelve firms here, but most of
them are very small. 1t is quite a spruce
market. The Berlin Mills Company, whose
mills are at Berlin Falls, N. H, do the largest
business in that branch. The firm doing the
largest general lumber trade IS that of Rufus
Deering & Co. They have the finest system
atzed yard, wharf and sheds, it has ever been
my pleasure to examine. Nearly every bit of
pine lumber now comes into what was called
the "old pine tree State," from the West, and
mostly from Michigan, little coming from
Canada, and Ogdensourgh, N. Y.

The Flower Mission

The Flower Mission will continue it labor
through October, and contributions of flowers
are earnestly solicited. With the wrospect of
the long tedious winter before the poor sick
ones, who have been cheered by the weekly
visit and the flowers which have been so great
source of pleasure, it seems desirable that
these ministrations should be continued as
long as possible AT this season the contribu-
tlons cannot be large, but even few flowers
will be very acceptable. The rooms at Con-
gress Hall will be open at o'clock each Satur-
day morning through October.

The Greatest Amusement Enterprise OF
the Age What May be Expected--A
Tour in Foreign Lands-$2, ,ooo, 900
Invested
OF late there has been more or less contro-
versy as to who is the greatest amusement
caterer in the world, and the result has been
to point out W. W. Cole as the one great
Caesar of the Show Kingdom, and his recent
successful tour in foreign lands, and triumph
ant return to America, after a journey of over
2S 900 miles by land and sea seems to be sutf1-
cient to warrant this million rendered verdict.
Mr.. Cole has recently added to his mammoth
circus, menagere of trained animals and great
congress of wonders, all the strange and strk-
ing features possible to discover during his re-
cent tour of the world. and it is now safe to
say that over $1,000 900 is repres ented in his
gigantic combination which is replete in all its
appointments aud beyond all reasonable doubt
the grandest amusement enterprise on earth,
using the recently perfected electric light to
illuminate its millions of yards of canvas
while every recent improvement that might
add to the general interest of the concern has
been made available A $4,000 troupe OF
trick stations is one of the novelties. These
yeritable animal actors have been trained to
degree of excellence which dwarf to insignif-
canoe ali previous displays of equine educa'
tion A performing Spanish Bull is also in
troduced into the arena and executes num-
Der of feats that are truly remarkable.
troupe of Maorie war-dancers and real Arabian
athletes will be seen. Not less than one hum
dred famous artists will vie with each other
for public honors and none but bareback
equestrians are employed. One Of the most
thrilling sensations is troupe Of aerial bicycle
riders, who hazard life and limb upon single
cobweb wire stretched from end to end of the
vast canvas, and this they traverse with
bicycle while they perform number of in
credible and daring feats. Among the many
artists engaged is Md'le Linde Jeal, the only
fearless female hurdle-rider whose frightful
flights through hoops Of fire excel all previous
equestrian feats. La the menagerie will be
seen the largest and best collection OF rare
animals ever owned or transported by any
organization The enti re show will visit Port
land on Saturday, Oct. 8th and we opine that
it will produce lasting impression by its ex-
treme immensity.
