tive at present. The yards are crowded, and

Great Destruction in Aroostook Forests.
There has been great destruction OF spruce
trees in northern Aroostook. The owners of
fine lands have already lost thousands of dol
lars, and the matter is causing great anxiety
An ontomoogist is going to Aroostook to look
into the couce Of the decay and death OF these
trees. He will probably be accompanied by
Franklin. B. Hough, of tho United States COM
mission of forestry, who has recently been in
the State making some investigations. Jacob
Hardison. of Caribou, says that in five town
ships the spruce over IL inches in diameter, are
dead or dying, and other trees. are unaffected
His view of the cause is that about eight years
ago there were heavy rains, which loosened the
earth. The rains were followed by protrscted
gale and hard winter. The root flores were
broken, which caused decay; then the worms
followed He says that on the northwest
slopes, where the wind had the greatest range,
the trees suffered the mc1t. The trees present
a scared appearance, first at the top, and year
by year death passes towards the roots.

The anguish of the men that claim to have

tinctured with the peculiar dialect in vogue at

The championship rare for $1,000 a side and
$1,000 given by tke public of ogdeusburg, n.
Y, viii take place at O'Clock on Wednesday,
July Is, on the st. Lawrence river. The dis
tance is four miles, two miles with turn A
great many people wonder why Ross should
row Hsnlan, when it is SO generally concluded
that Wallace will be defeated That the race
did not take place before is certainly DO fault
Of Ross, for he has been trying to get on the
race Tor two years. Ross, the last time the
men met, defeated Hanlsn at Providence, and
his friends claim that he is a great deal better
man now than he was then. The general
opinion is, however, that it may be good
race for a mile or less, and that Hanlan will
then go in and win as he pleascs. There are
few, however, who believe that Ross VIII de-
feat Hanlan. It Gomez from good sources that
Kennedy is OF the opinion that Hanlan is al
most sure to win.
The Double Scull Race.
1t is more than probable that the double
scull race between Hsnlan and Lee and Hamm
and Conley will not take place until Septem-
Der. Hanlan is going to make all the money
he can out of regattas in which large prizes
are given. He says: 81 can see $4,000 ahead
in prizes.at the different regattas, and do not
intend to sacrifice my personal interests and
row double-scull race until all single-scull
events are off" Hanlan rows Roes at Ogdens-
burg. n, r., July Is. From there he goes to
Minneapolis, MINI. A regatta is being talked
of for Saratoga, and possibly the champion
may give one at his own home.
NOTES.
The friends of Kennedy hope that before
the teason clo-e1 he will take Lee at his word
ana row him match race for $1,000
In conversation, few days since, with the
referee of the late Kennedy -Hanlon race at the
Point of Pines, the statement was made that
Kennedy would have won the race had he
done one thiDg-foul Hanlon while the latter
was in Kenpedys water. "Yes," replied the
referee, "and II he had done so, there Ewould
have been but one thing to do. BY the rules.
Hanlan was in the wrong water, and the race
would have gone against him"
III reports are true, Hamm could have won
his heat At Pullman had be lesred to. On
good authority the statement is made that
Hamfn led daudaur until near the finisn, when
be stopped, and said to Gaudaur go on"
The latter statement is verified by Gaudaar,
who tells the story himself. Haulan was q
witness TO the proceedings.
