pleasant summer resort.
In the evening, as the Gazelle was on her

Reckless Driving.

Two small boys drove along Congress street,
from Munioy Hill, Saturday, at reckless
pace. AS they turned down Franklin street,
one of them was thrown out, and the other
was pitched out when turning into Federal
street. Then the horse cleared himself from
the wagon, and ran wildly back to his starting
point. On the way back the horse ran into a
COW and both fell in a heap. The COW quickly
spraDg up. and darted over Washington street
with her tail over her back, and the horse was
secured. One of the boys escaped injury, but
the other sustained bad sprain Of both ankles.

OUR CAMPAIGN.
Some Edifying Comments on 1t.
Boston Adyertiser.l


A very we'll known gentleman, a citizen OF
Maine who has been deservedly honored by
being placed in public, but not in political
station, writes that we could confer favor up
on many people in that State who have al
way voted the Republican ticket, by showing
grounds-if any exist-for comfortable assur-
ance that by going to the polls in September
they can do better than indorse what they dis
approve, or stultify themselves by encouraging
Greenbackism He adds, "that the Republic
can nominees contend earnestly for what John
Randolph called seven principles namely,
the perennial issue between the ms and theouts,
is plain enough; but for what other principles
is not SO plain. With very few exceptions
they ignore, or sheer at, or misrepresent, or
ridicule, civil service reform, and the leaders
accept no advice from the laity unless seas
oned with loss or gain of votes. Many OF us
feel that the party made as big blunder as

Our Church Choirs.

1t has been the subject of frequent remark
by strangers in our city recently, that Portland
possesses an unusual amount of musical tai
emit, judging by the church music to which
they listened during short sojourn here. We
think the congregations who attended Willis
ton and Free street churches yesterday, appre-
ciated the truth of the above remarks, for the
music, under the direction of their respective
Norris, was of very high order and complete
ly filled the place IN the church service, which
all really good music does, kindling in the
hearts of the listeners, and, we doubt not, In
the hearts of the choir themselves, reverent,
devotional spirit. X.

Ad1IatiC.


The Herald says: SIT is greatly to be re-
GREETED that the efforts of Wallace Ross and
his friends to induce the champion, Edward
Hanlan, to row race for the championship,
should result in failure. The outlook now IS
that the two foremost scullers of the world Will
not row this season, perhaps not at all. Should
Ross go to England he would not find any one
willing to row race with him unless he al
lowed them distance or time, and in this coun-
SO that his rowing occupation is virtually gone.
Out of the eorrespondence they have had re-
Gently it was thought something approaching
an agreement for race might be had betH cen
Hanlan and Ross, but their expectations may
now be abandoned. A private dispatch from
John A. Kennedy of Portland, Wallace Ross
coach and adviser, received in this city Fri
day evening, says, you can say do not thihA
Hanlan and Ross will ever row a race, one
against the other AS Ross and Kennedy
have done everything in their power to bring
about match, and hoped that Hanlan would
come to an agreement by which a race in the
future might be assured it is very evident that
they think Hanlan is evading a race and Will
continue to find excuses for not rowing the
man who undoubtedly can, in condition, eth
er make him go faster than he ever went be-
fore or row him Ito dead STOP"
1t is very evident that VIM Elliott, ex-
champion of England, who recently issued
challenge to several well known oarsmen, rat
ed as second and third class, does not desire to
meet any sculler except one below mediocrlty
in rowing ability. AS stated in last Sunday
Herald, he opened correspondence with John
A. Kennedy of Portland, who agreed to row
him at Flushing L. l., or at some point in the
East, agreeing to accept concessions tc row on
the water preferred by Elliott, or to allow
greater concessions if Elliott would agree to
come to New England. The English ex-cham-
pion has not responded to Kennedy's fair
proposition, and probably fears to measure
sculls with the Portlander. IfKennedy should
agree for small stake and accept small sum
for expenses Elliott would, in all probability,
agree to a match, as he could then come out OF
the race without much personal loss.
Among the New England entries for the
great national regatta at Detroit will be Buck
ley and O'Connell of the Cumberland Club,
Portland, in singles and in the double scull
race, and there will also be, in all probability,
two junior scullers from Portland. Buckley is
known to be afast and enduring sculler,and he
and his mate have shown in practice remarka-
BILE time in their double-scull shell.
