Hon. William L. Putnam on State street.
Yesterday forenoon. in company with the
Mayor, he visited the various parts OF the City
Building and inspected the engine house OF
Casco, No. 5. The alarm was struck and the
horses harnessed as II for fire. Lord Cole
ridge expressed himself as muchspleased with
all he saw. He then returned TO the hotel on
foot.
In pursuance of the arrangements hereto
fore announced, the sail down the Bay in the
Dallas was enjoyed yesterday afternoon. Mem
bers of the Bar with their ladies took the
boats of the cutter at Custom House wharf.
Collector Dow received the Lord Chief Justice
and his party in his office at the Custom House,

AS Lord Coleridge stepped on board the
vessel, the English. ensign was swung from the
foremost, and q salute of fifteen guns-the
same salute to which the Chief Justice OF
the United States is entitled-greeted him.
The boats were quickly hoisted to the davits,
the anchor raised, and the cutter started down
tho harbor.

tom House, f. f. Carpenter, Esq, W. f.
Carpenter, Esq, and @. A. Strout, Esq.
S. G. Strout, Esq, introduced many of those
on board to the distinguished jurist, and the
party then dispersed over the boat, gathering
in pleasant groups to enjoy the conversation of
friends and to witness the ever new scenery.
A good breeze blew from the west and served
to make the water very calm inside the islands.
The vessel ran along inside the Diamond
islands, past Little Chebeague, and went be-
tween Great Chebeague and Little John. The
lower end of Great Chebeague was passed, and
for few moments the course was laid straight
out to sea, keeping Harpswell Neck on the
right. Shortly following, the prov of the cut
ter was turned homeward, and the vessel
rapidly passed along the small islands which
skirt the seward side of Great Chebeague,
force Of the sea was felt when running along
outside Of Long Island, though none ere in
convenienced thereby. Hussey's Sound, how
ever, sustained its reputation for long swells,
though they disturbed but for moment. as
Pumpkin K mob shut off the action of the sea
and made all smooth again up through the
Roads to the city, where the party dfsembarked
about o'clock.
During the sail, in response to a request
from Mr.. Sheppard, Lord Coleridge kindly
furnished his autograph to the officers of the
vessel.
The guest was delighted with the trip and
the harbor, and often gave expression to his
appreciation of the beauty of the Bay.
1t Is unnecessary to speak of the graceful
courtesies of the officers of the Dallas; their
efforts made the occasion far more enjoyable.
The list Of the officers is as follows:
Captain-Russel Glover.
Executive Oficer-Thos. S. Smyth.
I'd LieuteDant-W. s. Baldwin
Sd Leutenant-J. l.. Sill.
Chief Engineer-J. W. H. Whitaker.
Assistant Engineer-W. j. Phillips.
Pilot-Wm. Eaton.
Last evening Lord Coleridge and party were
handsomely entertained at the Cumberland
Club, and later attended brilliant reception
at Hon. Elbridge Gerry's. New High street.
His Lordship had intended calling on Bishop
Healy in the morning, but learned he was out
town.
This morning at II o'clock Baron Co1eridge
and party will take special train over the
Eastern railroad, provided by President Jack
son and Vice President Tucker, and proceed to
Boston. Gov. Butler had intended dinner
party for the distinguished jurist in case he
had been in Boston yesterday. 1t will prob
ably be given later.
