Mr.. Spelman, accompanied by the well
known Portland sculler, Peter H. Conley, ar
rived in Portland from Boston yesterday. They
went to Boston few days since to bring to
Portland the new she'll boat which Mr..
Stevens OF the firm of Williams & Stevens OF
Lowell, has just finished for Conley They
had expected shipment of the craft in season
to give Conley ten days or two weeks more
rowing than he can now have, but Mr..
Stevens was unable to complete the boat until
Tuesday last. The Herald says: Messrs.
Spelnan and Conley are both very highly
pleased with the she'll Before leaving, gester-
day afternoon, Mr.. Spelmsn expressed sur
prise that Ross should again state that he is
prepared to row Conley, or has closed match
as was stated by telegraph from Pittsburg.
When In Portland, on his way to st. John,
two weeks ago. Ross said he would not row
again this season. However, Conley will &C.
cept the proposition made by Ross some weeks
ago to row five mile turning race for $500 or
$looo side, on water mutually satisfactory,
the race to take place within reasonable
time and within reasonable distance of Port
land and Pittsburg All that Conley desires
now is that Ross will suggest some reputable
newspaper as stakeholder, and name a time
and place for meeting and arranging all neces-
sary preliminaries for the match.

Wonders of Our west.

The subject OF Mr.. French's lecture last eve
ming at City Hall, was the "Wonders of our
West" capital continuation of the White
Mountains and Hudson river, American series
The journey proper started from the great sus.
pension bridge, followed by superb picture
OF the sublime cataract at Niagara. By day
and night, in winter and summer, the falls
were fully shown, to the delight of the audi.
ence. By canal lock an entrance was made
into Lake Erie and the chain of inland seas
traversed to Chicago, the Garden City,
whose beautiful streets and public buildings
were we'll shown. Thence southwark the way
led to the Mammoth Cave where Ia series of
vivid views gave clear and distinct idea of
that mammoth hole in the ground. Another
long step took the audience to thesMississippi,
with the great St. Louis bridge. Here also the
streets and public buildings were visited, and
humber of humorous anecdotes illustrated
them to the great amusement of the audience.
Thence to Denver and the Rocky Mountsinst
past boulders of ctlored stone in every strange
form imaginable, past Kate Greenwood's
mountain home, past outlying military posts
the way led through the canyons of the Colo
RADIO towards the West. The signal station on
the summit of Pixies Peak was next glanced
at. and lovely moonlight view of Crystal
lake said adieu to Colorado. Along the Gem
trail Pacific to Utah and Salt Lake City the
party journeyed seeing much of the Mormon
people and their buildings. Then Yellowstone
Park and its lofty crags to the Golden Gate,
San Francisco and the Yosemite, where the
lecturer drew to close amidst the applause of
the contented audience. 1t may be noted that
Mr.. French's sore throat, which troubled him
SO much last week had improved and hi. voice
was clearer and better.
The subject of the next lecture will be "Wild
Life in Norway 1"

The property of the Company consists of $500
head of cattle, houses, six ranches, controlling
twenty miles of river front, which controls 2OO.-
600 acres of land ,uses corrals and other build
iDgs necessary to conduct the business, located in
Tonic Basin, GENRE part of Arizona Territory.
It has long been known that the raising of Cattle
in Texas, NewMexico, Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west is and for many years
has been immensely profitable and the fame of the
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means, these men within comparatively short
time, attained positions in the World of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings of
the Pacific Coast. Their success shows the results
of intelligent and perseverng efforts and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
of that success proves coneusivey that investment
made in the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not ia
miliar with the resources of the great west. And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
can be relied upon, viii at commend this class
of investment to anyone who will take the trouble
to study the history of Stock in the western portions
of the United States, and more particularly Texas
New Mexico and Arizona. Capital invested in cattle
will return larger per centage of interest than is
returned by any other legitimate Investment, and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
The management of the Company's affairs is in
the hands parties whose long experen ces renders
them familiar with all details and are emnently fit
ted to conduct the enterprise with success.
From the earnings each year after payment of
expenses the holders of The preferred stock are to
receive dividend of per cent, three per cent

The Table Patent.


The article in recent issue of the PRESS
about the young lady who lately died on her
birthday, the day when patent for an inven-
ton of hers was received, though expressed
in the kindest language was calculated to give
wrong impression. Too much stress was laid
upon the condolences, curious as they we're,
bet her ingenious patent, though probably val
liable, was never looked upon by her as
source of wealth or of any certain dependence.
Neither had the world dealt unkindly with
her. Her life was sunny one, made so both
by her own sweet nature and by her surround
ings. She loved life and wished to remain if
it were Gods will, but she looked upon death
without fear, for she knew there we're dear
ones of hers on the other side, as we'll as here.
To her many friends in the heaviness of their
grief comes solace in the thought that though
she has gone, Yet, 80, the music of her life,
that bides with US long after" M.
