The State of Maine

Now that the State of Maine is safely towed
to Dipper Harbor, it may be interesting to
know how she is to be got to sea. She lies high
and dry on the sand. Capt. Merritt has pumps
OF such power that they scoop up and throw
away the sand under the steamer, until an ex-
cavation is made deep enough to permit men
to go underneath and plank over the breaks in
the vessels bottom. Then channel is SCOOP
ed out, or dredged out to deep water, through
which the steamer, sufficiently repaired to
float, will move to the sea and be towed to the
place where permanent repairs will be made.

BOSTON RESERVES VS.. PoRTLANDs.
Tomorrow and Saturday afternoons, the Boston
Reserves Ghe champions of Massachusetts, will be
here and play the Portlands and as both clubs are
determined to win a terrific struggle between them
will be the result. McDonough will probably pitch
Friday, and Conner Saturday. With Fessenden as
umpire there probably will be question of his de-
csions. The Portlands have got to play good ball
in the next four days. but thar they can do and we
expect they will.
NOTES.
The Reserves are breaking up the local clubs
about Boston, but the Portlands meet them tomor-
row.
CULVER played shortstop for the Deering nine
yesterday
The manager Of the Biddefords has had the nerve
to invite the Portlands to again play in Biddeford
He was of course refused, as he deserved to be.
The Reserves and Lawrences will play TODAY,
Much interest is manifested here in the result,
many expressing their belief that the Lawrences
will win.

Hon. James G. Blaine arrived in this city
on the Flying Yankee" yesterday afternoon
at GAO o'clock, on his way to Boston. The
yankee" was delayed by the ST. John and
Maine connection SO that the regular 6 p m.
train from this city could not wait for the
Maine Central. A large number of people had
gathered at the Eastern station, when the D.
m. train went out, expecting to see Mr.. Blaine
but were disappointed, and dispersed thinking
he was not coming. When the Flying Yankee
arrived Hon. Thomas B. Reed was present
and met Mr.. Blaine, who was accompanied by
Hon. Eugene Hale, Postmaster Manley and
several staff correspondents of daily papers.

for one of his years. and should be to be appre
clated. Miss Mabel Sylvester the lady champion of

best In the profession. She performs all of the diff
cult heel and toe movements with the greatest ease
and her every move is grace itself. She fairly cap.
uvated her audience, and was presented on the floor
with an elegant bouquet of choice flowers. The
