BeautifuI Sail.

There is one route from Portland which has
not yet received tho attention it deserves. 1t
is the sail to Freeport and return from this
city in the Haidee. This steamer leaves Port
land at 1890 a. M, and skirts the shore of
Falmouth foreside, passing Ohebeague, Little
Johns and other islands ON the inside, taking
the inside course. The trip is consequently
made without particle more motion than
would be experienced on lake, and the eye
is constantly attracted by the green verdure of
the shore and islands, the smooth fields, and
on the other hand by the laughing waters of
the bay dotted with white sails and putting
steamers. The little steamer is handled with
perfect skill by Capt. FL. B. Townsend, a
veteran sailor, who built the vessel, and who
may well be proud of his work. She is also
exclusively neat, and provided with all con.
veniences and coy little cabin. Freeport
is reached in an hour and half, and there car
riages are provided with skilful drivers to take
passengers who desire ride to the village and
also to South Freeport, trip that is full of
enjoyment The neat and pretty houses, the
handsome flower gardens, the absence of IN
calmly fences make up a rural picture that
will live in memory. There is pretty grove
where one can partake of picnic lunch, or,
if so desired, can spread their table on the
boat. At 2.20 p. M the boat starts on her re-
turn, and this city is reached at D. M, after
another delightful sail. If our readers wish to
have day of halcyon enjoyment, let them
take this trip to Freeport. Every one con-
nected with the boat, or the stable at the vii
lage strives to please.

AneIightfnI Exonrsion

Saturday afternoon, no withdrawing the
fog and generally dull weather, party of
eighteen gentlemen left Portland on the noon
White Mountains. The party consisted of
Chairman Hawkes. and Messrs. Hallett and
Kelsey of the board of aldermen, President
Fogg and Measrs. Griffin, Wilson, Carney, Bur-
leigh, Mcmahon, Rand, Small and Jordan of
the Common Council, with ex-Mayor Senter,
ex-Councilmen j. Fl. Hall and J. J. Lappin,
Street Commissioner Staples ex-Sheriff Ring
and Mr.. 81. s. Trickey as invited guests.
Soon after leaving Portland, the fog was left
far behind, and very enjoyable run was
made to Fabyans, which was reached in time
for supper. On the train with the party was
MIR. Charles r. Milliken, of the Glen House,
and he at once suggested that tbs party visit
the Glen the next day, which invitation was
gladly accepted. The evening at Fabyans was
spent with all manner Of games, and in vari-
GUS other ways. A portion of the party formed
themselves into surgical corps, on the look
out for choleraic microbes. Their search, it is
very bad case discovered, but was successfully
treated in fifteen minutes.
Sunday morning, after breakfast, the party
proceeded by the railway to the top of Mount
Washington. The day was glorious one, and
the view superb. Mr., Milliken, with great
thoughtfulness, had telegraphed for carriages
to meet them en- the summit, and they were on
the spot and conveyed the party to the Glen,
where they arrived in time for dinner. The
Glen is doing tip-top business, and its stand
ard of excellence was never higher than at
present. After dinner, coaches took the party
clear through to- North. Conway, where they
arrived at p. M, at the Kearsarge House.
Yesterday morning, Mr.. Eastman-who also
runs the City Hotel stables in this city,-gave
the Portlanders delightful drive to Echo
Lake, the Baths of Diana and other places
Of interest. They returned home yesterday af-
ternoon, thoroughly pleased with their trip,
and especially with the care, forethought and
attention of Mr.. Milliken and Mr.. Eastman.

Capt. Aaron Gutter.

The subject of this sketch, notice of whose
death appeared in the PRESS of last Saturday
was native of Maine and well-known in the
State, especially among ship-owners. By his
genial disposition and large-hearted nature, he
endeared to him many who will grieve to learn
the sad tidings.
He became ship-master when very young
man and went for some years in the employ of
parties in Bath. Afterwards he sailed for
many years from Boston and New York, later
he owned largely in the ships which he COM
nanded, and during his many voyages, visited
almost every port open to American merchant
men. In early manhood he married Massa
chusetts lady, and their home was in Chelsea
until some twelve years ago. He then left
Boston for the last time, in the famous clipper
Nightingale. bound for the Pacific coast The
next year his family joined him in San Fran
cisco, where they lived until two years ago. At
that time, while at his business on one Of the
wharves, he received a severe blow upon the
head from the effects of which he never re-
covered. His physicians ordered change and
he removed to Oakland, but it was of no avail.
The brain was fatally injured, and after many
months OF intense suffering, he has gone on his
last voyage to the unknown land At the time
OF his death, his wife lay very ill with typhoid
fever, and his only son was absent in South
America.
For his friends sake and his, this little trib-
ute to his memory is offered by one of their
number who held him dear.

Leap Year German at the Ottawa House

Ao"p xeaf German at tine ottawa House.
The ladies' leap year German at the Ottawa
House, Cushings Island, on Saturday evening
last, was certainly the event of the season.
The ballroom was handsomely decorated un-
der the able supervision of Mrs, James Mills
OF Montreal Assuredly the success of the
evening was due to the efficient leadership of
Mr.. T. P. Borden and Miss Lauck of Wash
ington. The figures were both novel and
unique. Miss Topp and Miss Brown displayed
great taste in the selection of the fayors,
numbers of which were painted in a most ar
tistic manner with local views, by Mrs. Dr.
Stevenson of Montreal, and Mrs Verdinal of
New York. Mrs. Carter wore crimson satin
and black lace, low corsage and diamond orna-
ments. Miss Borden was handsomely attired
In pale blue brocade and crepe Miss Lauck
woe lavender cashmere. Miss Brown wore
salmon satin, with overdress of oriental lace
and pearls. Miss Daisy Harvey looked be-
witching in light blue silk. Miss Harvey wore
pale pink satin. Miss Brown of Connecticut,
wore white muslin. Miss Heustis also wore
white, and as usual looked charming. Miss
Fanny Green was attired in white velvet, front
embroidered with pearls, diamond ornaments
MISS Green wore cream nuns yelling. Miss
Topp wore white null muslin, trimmed with
Irish point. Mrs. MacDougall wore ecru fig.
ured silk, diamond ornaments. Mrs. Mills,
Mrs. DIR. Stevenson, Mrs. Carter and Mrs.
Verdinal distributed the favors in a very
pleasing manner, ably assisted by Judge Will
Hanson of Cleveland.
At the conclusion of the German, they adj
journed to the spacious dining hall of the OF
tawa House, where a most sumptuous repast
awaited them. Mr.. Fred Gushing of Montre-
al, in his usual happy style, complimented the
ladies for the very successful manner IN which
they had conducted their German. The fol-
lowing ladies and gentlemen took part: Misses
Borden, Brown, Topp, Clarke, Rose Green,
Fanny Green, Heustis, Harvey, Daisy Harvey,
Brown, Aver, Lottie Verdinal, Mcdonald, Do
Ian and Mrs. MscDougall: Messrs. Fred Oush-
ing, z. Laird Patton, Senter Noyes, DR.. John

sLANDER AS AN AID To SUCCESS.
The New XOrkEIectricaI Review ON the
American Electric and illuminating
Company.
Boston Sunday Globe, Aug. 17)

(boston sunday Globe, Aug. 17)
The New York Electrical Review of yester-
day makes a good point for the American
Electric Illuminatin g Company in an editorial
complimentary to the company and its last
dividend. SANDER and Misrepresentation re-
garding the company, its business and its
chief executive officer, have always been
literally used by competing companies, and
those who have been jealous of President
Colts success in building up the company's
business to it's present position, and according
to the Review, the slanderous attacks from its
enemies have largely contributed to the COM
pany's success. The Review says:
"As will be seen by the report of the meet
ing of the directors of the American Electric
and Illuminating Company, held 10 Boston on
Tuesday, there was voted the regular semi
annual dividend of 4 per cent on the prefer
red stock and an extra semi-annual dividend
OF per cent. on all the stock, common and
preferred alike. 1t was further resolved that,
as the earnings would warrant the payment Of
3 per cent. extra dividend instead of the 2 per
cent voted, per cent. of the entire capital
stock be placed in reserve fund, and that,
for the future, all profits over and above per
cent semi-annually on the preferred, and 2 per
cent semi-annually on all stock be placed in
said reserve fund, until it shall equal 80 per
cent of the entire capital stock. 1t is crafty
ing to see that this company, which, from in
significant beginnings. and against obstacles
apparently insurmountable, has come to take
foremost place in electric lighting, is meet
ing with such excellent success, and it is
peculiarly gratifying to see that it is disap-
pointing the hopes and wishes of its enemies
by adopting policy SO conservative as that
outlined above. Three things have contri-
buted to its success; good management good
light, and SANDER; and the most effective has
been SANDER"

The rally in the interest of the constitutional
amendment which was held at Aliens Corner,
Saturday evening, August 10th, was a grand
success in every particular. Though the fog
was very dense and the meeting held out of
doors, there was good audience in attend
anoe. Previous to the speaking, the West
Falmouth Band gave a concert The first
speaker was Rev. H. G. Munson of Portland.
He gave strong, logical speech which
abounded with facts and figures.
Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens of California was
then introduced and by her eloquence and
earnestness held the attention of the audience
to the last. She made strong impression up
on the people. She is a fine speaker and the
committee have been fortunate in securing her
services for the campaign. During the even
ing the band gave several selections in mcst
admirable manner.
The town committee having in charge the
work of the campaign for the amendment,
have held several meetings, and their plans
all having been made they will now enter
actively into the work. Meetings will be held
In all parts of the town.

SUBURBAN NOTES.
BOwery Beach,


A dense fog prevailed Sunday until 1 D. M, but
the balance of the day was superb and brought the
usual large number of visitors to the Two Lights.
Dogfsh and bluehsh have driven many of the
shore fishermen from the baking grounds, and they
are now engaged in catching rock-cod which are
quite plenty on the shadows off the Cape.
Fishing excursions from the Lights are the order
of the day. Friday, Mr.. VIM. Murray tried his
skill, and catch of about sixty fine Goldfish proved
dictated by the large ocks of guls, that schools of
herring were present the coast, by taking a
number of the latter fish from the stomachs of the
captured cod.
The other day near sunset, hayrack half filed
with fragrant headsgrass and clover, and the other
half with about dozen each of ladies and gentle
men from the Chesley House, Prout's Neck, visited
the Cape and after magnifying their personal
charms in the big lens at the light repaired to
Hsnnafords Cove, where, over rousing fire of
driftwood, clans were roasted, coffee made and
green corn boiled, with which they RECALLED them
selves and the native spectators until late st
night.
Rays wagon with the unspellable and I'M
pronounceable Indian name conveyed E. G..
Willard and party on their annual excursion to the
some champion Gunner catchers, and since their
advent to the seashore 'Wrinkles' are less plenty
on the rocks, and the fish are timid about biting.
David Moulton, Esq, made a brief visit to friends
camping on the shore near by. Miss p Moulton,
daughter of the latter gentleman, and Miss Carrie
Knight from Dantorth street are among the tran
elent campers.
The article in Fridays PRESS on the lobster law
of this state was timely. The large body of fisher
men along our shores from Kittery to Quoddy
dead should see to it that the next Legislature
amends said law to permit the use of Holsters for
bait only, during what is now known as "cose
Iime." Meanwhile all denizens of the sea will be
wise to reject ali hooks temptingly bated with I'M
lawful shellfsh.
Among the large crowd of visitors to the Lights
Friday, were Capt. Hall of the bark Carrie Bertha
and MIR. Duran OF the Portland Globe. M
GOrham.
1t is proposed to organize Glee Club in connec-
ton with the Blaine and Club In this place. The
matter has been placed in the hands of Committee
who, will Immediately ascertain the names of ali
those who are willing to take hold. 1t seems as
though good club might be formed.

Mr.. s. Fl. Stevens, the general passenger
agent OF the Boston and Maine Railroad, has
the immediate charge of the buildings and
property of the road in this city and for some
time past has been fearful lest some of the
buildings might get on fire without his
knowledge at the time, as he cannot al
ways hear the alarm. Yesterday the cleo
trician put an alarm Taper in his house, and
the o'clock test last evening proved it to be
in good trim and ready for fire. Singnlarly
enough box 43 was pulled at 1920 o'clock,
caused by the discovery of fire in a house
owned by the Boston and Maine Railroad
numbered 27 on York street. The fire caught
in the kitchen of the house and burned
through some of the rooms in the basement.
The building is fully insured. Mr.. John 81.
Ball, who occupies the burned tenement, lost
some furniture, though he is fully insured.

FLAG RAISING AT sAccARAppA.


One of the largest and most enthusiastic out
door meetings ever held in Saccarappa took
place last evening. The occasion was the
raising of splendid Blaine and Logan flags
from the residence of W. x. Dana on Me-
chanic street, and in front of the post office.
The flag in front of Mr.. Dana's was raised
first, amidst the blaze of fireworks and tre-
mendous cheers from the audience, at least
$500 people being present.
The meeting in the square was called to Or
der by George q. Springer, ESQ.,, who intro
duced by Mr.. W. W. Pencil as presiding
officer. Mr.. g. W. bennett was the first
speaker, giving his reasons why he should vote
for Blaine and Logan. Mr.. bennett is an old
soldier, and he held his audience closely, be.
ing frequently interrupted by applause. Hon.
w. F. Lunt followed in an able and exhaus-
tive treatment of the tariff in speech of an
hours duration, and cheers and applause fire.
quently followed his telling hits. At the close
of his speech cheers were given for Blaine and
Logan and Robbie and Reed, and the crowd
gradually dispersed. Excellent music was az
for5ed by the Westbrook band.

A very sad-looking young man from Portland
says the Biddeford journal was seen walking
up and down the station Saturday evening,
waiting for the $40 train in. He had a sad,
sort of a yearning look, which was explained
later. In changing his clothes he had neglec-
ted to put his pocket book in the suit he put
on, and consequently had not cent with him
neither could he find any of his friends. His
condition at supper time, when the air from
every hotel on the beach was charged wi tn
odors of claim fritters fried cod, etc. pitia-
ble He was literally half starved and in sight
of everything edible, must fast. At the time
he boarded the train he was in condition to
swear like the traditional pirate.
