A Hotel at Cumberland Foreside.

Crossing Tukey's bridge ride of perhaps
three quarters of an hour, past green farms
and pretty New England houses with ever and
anon glimpse of the blue waters of the bay
rolling in below the bluffs, brings one into the
suburban section known as Cumberland Fore
side. Picturesque summer cottages grace
every slope, and there is hardly a house in the
vicinity but has its share of summer boarders,
who come not only from the Canadas, but from
all over the country. Just this side and adj
joining the residence of Mr.. A. A. Strout, is a
beautiful tract of land comprising about 100
acres, divided by the Foreside road into two
lots of 60 acres each. The space running west.
erly from the road is forest of fragrant spruce
and pine, while that making towards the sea is
bluff, consisting of green fields and rare
groves of chestnut and oak.
Portland and New York parties have under
contemplation the erection of o large hotel
here, which is to have its site on command
ing elevation four hundred feet from the road
on the side by the sea, Mr.. Fassett, the archi-
tect, is at present engaged in designing the
structure, which is to be one of very unique
pattern. Stables are to be built across the
road. The above described land is to be con-
verted into park, divided into avenues and
walks, while, from the shore, a landing for
steamers is to be extended. Near by are fine
facilities for bathing, and from the rocks the
angler can fish to his hearts content, while the
yachtsman, with a clear expanse before him,
can pillow the swelling waters in safety. Burst
ing out from the side of a mound, oyerhung by
Oh l..
Underwood spring, a draught from which is as
refreshing to the tourist as one from the bronze
fountain of Saint Wolfgang. Hardly one hun
dred feet away may be seen some of the tradi.
tional she'll mounds of the Indians. The
work upon the building and grounds will prob.
ably commence right away.

Veterans Reuniting.

The First, Tenth and Twenty-ninth Regi.
mental Association, as has been stated, will
hold its animal reunion at Long Island We'd
nesday. A year ago the association was given
an acre OF land on Long Island on condition
of erecting suitable building That build
ing has been completed at cost of about
$500. II is 55x32 feet, two stories high, and is
admirably adapted for the purposes of the as
ISOLATION. The upper story is to be finished off
into apartments, and will be at the service of
any Maine soldier who may desire to stop at
Long Island. On the arrival of the association
at Long Island Wednesday morning, Quarter
master Alexander Bell will serve the break
FAST consisting of baked beans, cold meats,
coffee, tea, hot rolls and hot brown bread. At
10 o'clock the new building will be dedi Gated.
Services will be conducted by the chaplain,
and addresses will be made by General George
L. Beal of Norway, who was connected with
all three Of the regiments composing the as
ISOLATION, and by President Banson of the as.
ISOLATION. At II o'clock the annual meeting
for the election Of officers will be held, and the
association will sit down to a regular shore din
ner of "clam chowder, fish chowder, and
CLANS in all shapes" as Quartermaster Bell
puts it. Governor Robbie has been invited to
attend, and it is still hoped that Gen. Slocum
may be present, warm invitation having
been extended to him to do SO. In any event
he has promised the association to be with it at
its annual reunion in 1885.

They Got His Hat.

Last evening, MIR. Oppenheimer, travelling
agent for a New York business house, was
walking slowly down Middle street towards
the Falmouth Hotel, where he is stopping,
when just as he was passing Gross street four
burly ruffians stepped out of dark corner one
OF whom dropped little behind. Mr.. Open
heimer suspecting that all was not right, start
ed to get out Of their way, when the rough in
the rear pushed him forcibly against those
ahead, one of whom, a tall, dark looking indi-
vidual, wheeled around quickly and dealt him
severe blow on the head, knocking him
down. Mr.. Oppenheimer, after a moments
struggle during which time the unknown par
ties tried to search his pockets, regained his
feet and pluckily struck his tall assailant with
such force as to bring him to the earth. The
hurrying footsteps of patroImen Frank and
Pride, who had heard the noise of the scufle.
frightened the rascals, and they vanished into
the darkness as suddenly as they had come the
only booty secured being the mans hat.

Greenwood Garden.

Nearly 1000 people attended the Greenwood
Garden Saturday, the baby show being the
great attraction. Miss Ethel Blanche Colcord,
No. 9, received 95 votes, the largest number,
but was ruled out, as she was one month over
two years old. No. Z, child belonging to Mrs.
r. 81. Holland, of Montreal, received 80 votes,
but was ruled out not being resident of
Portland. No %, Miss Carrie Bruce knight,
received 70 votes, and was awarded the prize.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George B.
Knight, No. 126 Lincoln street. The five mile
foot race was won by Tanswanda, the time be-
ing 37m. and 30 sec.

the Old orchard Rambler, in regard to last Thur
days game:
"a Rambler reporter witnessed the game, and we
have no hesitaney in saying that the Old Orchards
played the strongest and most scientific game but
what gamblers call luck, won the game for the
Forest Citys."
The common idea here was that the Old Orchards
did not do themselves justice The above statement
is on level with the Rambler's abuse of the cap
tain of the Forest Ctys because he dared to protest
goal in the face Of its reporters wrath Perhaps
the person who witnessed the game and wrote the
above was the same one who turned on Portland
er who was applauding the home club, and threat
ened to "slap his face.''
In Saturdays issue of the same paper the follow
ing appears:
The Old Orchards played Ia magnificent game at
the Forest City rink Thursday evening, the change
of the playing positions Of some of the men being
decided improvement If Norway had only played
decidedly in favor of the Old Orchards. AS it was
his playing was wretchedy poor. We trust for an
improvement in this respect before another game.
Norway played as good game as any member of
the club, and considering the many times he has
saved the club from ignominious defeat this kind
of talk seems in poor taste. The contest for the
medals SO far has been fair and square, and every
player has done his best.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.
Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens Mt the Second
Parish.

Rev. DR.. Dennen presided at the Second Par
ish monthly temperance meeting last evening
and introducing the speaker said, there is no
greater intolerance to Christian civilization
and the advancement of Gods kingdom than
intemperance. There is no place more appro-
pirate than the church. and no time more fit
ting than the Sabbath to speak of it. There is
no class who have suffered so long and potent
~ from strong drink as women and hence she
has earned right to speak and use her felicit-
ous arts against it.
Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens of San Francisco, is
lady in the prime of life, of fine address and
a rapid, eloquent and affecting speaker. After
referring to the state from which she had come
she said: The men OF Maine in California are
our temperance men and foremost in every re-
form. A residence of 20 years in California
enabled her to present facts about the temper
ance cause. There wereIl0 600 boy drunkards in
her own city. The saloons were open 3e5 DAYS
in the year and there were $500 of them. She
had come prepared to refute the theory that
wine was not injurious. On one occasion rs
boys were found drunk in vineyard. Taking
for her text, God is not Knocked; whatsoever a
man soweth that shall he also reap, she said the
people of California have been Knocked, they
have sown to the flesh. I love the people of
Maine said she, because they dare to do right
l have come to tell you to do your whole duty
on the 9th OF September, that we may be en-
couraged in California. Dare to do right and
be brave on that day.

wooDFoRDs VS.. OLD ORCHARDS TONIGHT.
At Forest City rink tonight the Woodfords meet
the Old Orchards in league game. The Woodfords
are playing better game than they ever have be-
FORE and tonight an addition will probably be made
to their membership that will make them one Of
the strongest clubs in the State, strong in fact
that the two leaders must be on the alert or get
beaten. 1t will surely be close game, and should
draw large crowd.
STANDING OF THE LEAGUE.
Last week was happy one for the home clubs,
both the Forest Citys and Woodfords winning all
the games they played. AS will be seen by the
table, the Forest Citys have good lead over the
Old Orchards, and the Woodfords have left the
Sacos considerably in the rear. If both clubs con-
tinue their nne playing there is little doubt but
what they will secure first and third places in the
league. Following is the tablei
