NOTES.
Boating Notes

Mr. NJ F. Davis Of our city, has retired from
the boating field, as he has so many patents of
new inventions to look after, he cannot give
the time to rowing He has one of the cleanest
records in the profession. Small and weak
naturally, he studied physics as relating to
himself so as to get strong and use his strength
to the best advantage. He became the leading
amateur Of this city, and, at Oakland Beach,
near Providence, seven years ago, took the
first prize. One of his first successes was over
O'Leary at Sebago Lake, followed by two vic
tories over Plaisted. Then Davis and Landers
were beaten by Faulkner and Reagan in 1877,
In double sculls, while Davis beat Faux
ner in single sculls. In 1877 Davis beat Hos
mer on the Charles river, and Ten Eyck on
the Hudson. He was bow oar of the Union
Four at Silver Lake in 1873, and beat Reagan
in 1878 at the same place, four mile race, in
the best time on record, % minutes 6a seconds.
With Kennedy he won the doubles cull prize
ut the 4th of July regatta, on the Charles river,
in 1879, and, with Wallace Ross, was beaten
By Kennedy and Ten Eyck at Maranacook,
Oct. %, $780, Last year he pulled bow oar in
the winning boat at Strawberry Hill regatta.
The race between Davis and Kennedy on the
one side and Hamm and Conley on the other
fell through. Mr.. Davis has engagements to
train several crews for races. Kennedy also
seriously contpmplates retiring.

OSCAR WILDE.

A prominent New York
Artist photographed a
short time ago Mr.. Oscar
Wilde, the Esthetic apostle,
i'm many positions which
are very characteristic, as
being explanatory of the
doctrines of this new dis
ciple. Among many of the
compositions which were
emblematic, were some,
with the dim and shadOWy
patterns of sunflOWerS and
lilies on the walls, and used
as acce .sOries i'm the interi-
Ors. and when exterior
compositions were used,
then the artist was equally
happy i'm their arrangement
The proof of the negatives
gave Mr.. Wilde the greatest
satisfaction, as does the
Esthetic and other poses of

giant studio is located in

The Road to cane E,izahatb.

The Sentinel says that eighty years ago the
road to Portland from Ferry Village was from
the post-office and Sentinel office through
Front street to the old Ferry road: thence
crossing Broadway, and passing Mariners
pines to Westinghouse hill; thence turning to
the right down the hill to Emery's Corner;
thence to the left to the brewery: thence up
Barren Hill road to the corner, near Reuben
Higgins house; thence to the right, passing
the house of Eben T. Nutter to Cape Elizabeth
Depot thence through Brown street, passing
Browns Hill church to Cash's Corner; thence
on the Saco road to Sandy Hill; thence on the
Long Creek road to Crockett's Corner; thence
over Long Greek bridge, passing the Reform
School and the old Broad tavern to Stroudwater
village; thence to the right, through the town
of Deering, to Portland, the distance travelled
being about ten miles. The building of
Vaughan's bridge. in 1880, shortened the dis
lance one-half, and of Portland Bridge, in 1923,
a quarter. Before 1928 Knightville, nor any
roads near it, contained settlements; now it is
village of 675 inhabitants.

Mr. Baxter,s Position commented.

Mr.. EDITOR The letter of Jas. P. Baxter,
Esq, in your issue Of 18th inst, does him great
credit, and furnishes the best of reasons why
he should be nominated and elected to the
office of Mayor. 1t is not the man aoho aodnts
the office, but the Office that aoants the man,
whom the people "delight to honor" and
surely there is great need at this time for re-
form in the selection Of men to carry on our
city affairs. 1t would be well il our municipal
affairs could be Invested as much as possible of
a strictly party character, but while that is not
the case let the best men be selected for the
purpose. There are several good business and
tdr paying men in our present City Govern
ment, and all such, as far as possible, should
be retained, and while making up the lists see
to it that more such are nominated and elected,
so that whoever may be mayor, he may have
the counsel and assistance of men whose OBJ
ject it shall be to promote the best interests of
the city. This may be done if our best citizens
and taxpayers will but attend the primary
meetings when the nominations are to be made.
