Aquatic


AS time passes the interest in the race which
Hanlan and Kennedy are to row on the 30th of
May next will deepen. The champion of the
world will row at about 154 pounds weight,
and the aspirant for worldwide fame will not
exceed 1873 pounds in rowing costume. Both
men will be well equipped as to boats, and
both have ordered racing shells of w. W. Rud-
dock of Boston. The boats will be built of the
material ordinarily used in constructing shells
and their lines will be concentric. Mr. Rud-
dock will put the best workmanship possible
into both boats, and will build them as nearly
alike in model as possible, Unless orders be re-
ceived from one or the other of the men for the
introduction of some feature of construction of
his own.
Hanlan's boat will be about 81 feet long, IL
inches beam and rs inches deep, Kennedy's
racing she'll will be 3O1 feet long, 10 81 inches
beam and "a inches deep. Kennedy's boat
will not, because of Johns lighter weight, be
as heavy as Hanan's. Work on the shells will
begin about the middle of March, and the
boats will be finished as soon as possible.
Negotiations for securing the Hanlsn-Ker-
nedy race for decision at the Point of Pines are
as good as completed, the represen natives of the
oarsmen and the managers of "the Pines' hav
ing fully agreed on conditions and settled
the question in dispute. Hanlan has tele-
graphed his approval of what has been done,
and all that is needed to locate the race defa-
itely are the signatures Of Hanlan and Kenne-
dy. At one time negotiations were on the
point of being abandoned, but mutual conces.
sions were made and an agreement arrived at
On Decoration Day, therefore, between and
o'clock p. m, the race will DO rowed at Point
of Pines, Chelsea Beach.
Portland has lost one of its favorte oarsmen
aud Washington has gained prize, in John
A. Kennedy. Ever since Kennedy was first
engaged as professional trainer by the Potomac
Boat Club he has been favorite with oars
men at the National Capital, and efforts have
been made to induce him to locate in that CITY
permanently. He is now settled there per-
manently, having associated himself with a
Washington amateur sculler Enamed Morgan
IN the hotel and coffee room business, with ex-
celent prospects of success. He will also act
as trainer for the Potomac Beat Club, and will
take practice on the Potomac, under the
shadow OF the national monument. for his race
with Hanlan. Mr.. Kennedy will have his
boats and rowing paraphernalia shipped to
| Washington at once.

Apner Lowell.


| Mr.. Abner Howell, one of our Oldest and
most respected citizens, died in this city yes
terday of chronic catarrh. This terrible dis
ease, from which he had been, for long, suf-
ferer. had destroyed all sense of taste or
smell, thus destroying all appetite and thus de-
prving his system of nourishment.
| Mr.. Lowell and Mr. William Senter, after
leaving the town school. were apprentices to
| Oliver Gerrish Esq, in the matchmaking
business over fifty years ago. In those days
apprentices had no spare cash 10 spend in
amusements but used their spare time in ac-
curing useful knowledge at the evening
school organized by the Portland apprentices,
and participating in debates. In 1886 the
two apprentices having learned their trade
formed partnership for the carrying on of the
jewelry and nautical instrument business
which firm continued without break unit
1870. After the great FIRE of 1866 the two
branches of the business had become
so extensive il became necessary
to carry them on separately. Mr.. Lowell took
the jewelry branch and established himself on
the corner of Congress and Brown streets.
Here he remained several years but failing
health necessitated his giving up business
Mr.. Lowell was no politician, or seeker after
political Office. He did, however, serve one
term in the Council as q representative from
Ward One, in 1S4S, under Mayor Greedy
Among his associates in the Council were W.
d. Little, then president. ex-Mayors Cahoon
and MeCohb, Martin Gore, Rufus Horton,
Hezekiah Winslow, Solomon 7. Corser, Har-
ris G. Barnes, John G. Tukesbury, and, in the
Aldermen, Judge Fox, Byron Greenough, N.
f. Deering, G. W. Woodman, Lemuel Cobb
Stephen rockingham and John Purinton.
Mr. Lowell was passionate lover of music
and was one of the prominent members of the
old Handel and Haydn Society, and, if we are
not mistaken, at one time its president. He
was also exceedingly fond of the mountains
and one of the projectors and builders of the
Mt. Washington carriage road. He was also
member of the Mechanics Association.
Mr.. Lowell was twice married and had six
teen children. He leaves widow and nine
sons and daughters to mourn his loss Among
those best known to our citizens are John A.
Lowell, the well known art dealer of Boston,
and W. s. Lowell of this city. Mr.. Lowell
was over 10 years of age at the time of his
death, having been horn Jan. 10, 1872. He
was one of the oldest members of Lgonia
Lodge of Odd Fellows, having joined March
s, 1874, or one year after its charter was re-
ceived. He was also member of the Aged
Brotherhood. He was an upright, conscien-
tious citizen, industrious, faithful and of
strict integrity. His belief in Immortality was
above the ordinary hope; but we can well say
of him
If there's another world, he lives in bliss,
But, If lhere's none, he made the most OF this.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE LoNeFEL1ow CONCERT.

THE LoNGFELLow CONCERT.
The concert to be given by the united
strength OF the Haydn, Rossini and Weber
musical organizations tomorrow evening at
City Hall, in behalf of the Longfellow Statue
fund, will be worthy of the city, and the pro-
gress OF our musical art. The progra NINE en-
braces sixteen numbers very long list-but
we understand no encores will be permitted,
consequently the time occupied will be that of
the usual concert. Vocal and instrumental
solos and concert pieces will be presented by
Miss Long, Mrs. Gushing, Mrs. Morrison, Miss
Blanchard, Miss Philbrook, Mrs. Smith and
Mrs Allen, Messrs A. E. Pennell and j. B.
Doyle, Jr. Kotzschmar,s special arrangement
of Longfellow's Excelsior" will prove great
feature of the entertainment Special arrange
ments have been made with the railroads and
a special train will leave for stations at 10 80
p. M from Portland. Tickets may be procur-
ed at Stockbridge's during the day.
THE WHITE SLAVE.
The regular stock company of the Boston
Theatre will appear at Portland Theatre to-
night in Barley Campbell's white Slave"
OF this play the Dramatic Times said: "The
White Slave is at oncefthe most eclectic and
the most successful of Campbell's dramas. 1t
is composed of materials already used in Uncle
Toms Cabin, the Octorooa, Kit, and the
World; and it suggests half score of other IA
miliar melo-dramas in its incidents and charac
ters'. The story is a strong one, but hinges up
on the old device OF dropped document. The
heroine is like those in all the recent imported
melodramas, hunted victim, saved at last by
an accident. The hero has little chance for
heroism-a quality that appears to have
dropped out of melodrama entirely, and the
incidents by which the story is told are fire,
wreck, starvation, helpleSsness, cruelty, wrong
all rectitied and compensated in five minutes
IN the last act by the discovery of the lost doc
ument. For all that this play is very attrac.
tive, 1t is beautifully placed on the stage and
the acting of Mr.. Redmund, Mr.. Maguinnis,
Mrs. Barry and the rest of the troupe causes
everyone to leave the theatre well satisfied
with their evenings entertainment.
THE LYcEUM
Much to the regret of the patrons of the Ly-
ceum the engagements of Miss Eveline, the
talented young elocutionist, and Miss Abbott.
the popular singer, closed last week. There is
possibility that Miss Abbott will again APP
pear on the Lyceum boards.
A new and very strong bill will be offered
this week. The 'feather-weight banioist,''
Wallace, will appear. James Furey will re-
turn. The model woman club swipger "Lot
tie Zalia, will make her first bow here. Wat
son, Jefferson, whose Ethiopian specialties
have provoked so much applause, and the
popular favorites Misses Phillips and Wilbur,
remain.
