A Gala Day at CPawfords.
CRAwF0Rn H0Trqu Au0


To the Editor Of the Press.
Saturday, the 10th of August, is to be great
day at Crawfords. The real tournament" or
mexican Tourney as it is here called, to dis
tiDguish it from the variety of contests by
which the name of tournament is now degrad-
ed, is the great equestrian game of the South,
transplanted from Southern soil by resident
of Ormond on the Halifax, Florida, who
spends his summers at the White Mountains.
This will be one of the great attractions of the
programme of the 10th, and will prove a novel
feature to those who have never witnessed the
sport, and most interesting one to ALL 1t
takes good horse and a daring and skilled
rider to win in the tourney, and there are few
horsemen or horses In the North that can
stand the test. The riders on Saturday next
enter, under the names they bore in the last
tournament-Wild Bill, Texas Jack, Rancho
70 and Buckskin Joe. The riding will COM
mence about the time of the arrival of the
morning train on the Portland & Ogdensburg
from Portland, the fitting ground being close
by the station, by the side of Saco Lake. Lawn
tennis teams from Profile, Maplewood, Jeffer-
son and jackson will contest with the Oraw-
fordS for the silver racquet. The athletes of
the mountains will try their muscle aE the oar,
and on the 100 yards Of track. A tub race,
sack race and egg race will furnish fun for the
crowd, and to close the daylight game of
base ball between the Twin Mountain House
and Crawford mines will commence at 4. 80 D.
M, and as the Portland train rarely leaves un-
til $50, Portlanders can see the most of this
before leaving. The festivities will close with
a grand display of fireworks, and hop in the
Crawford House parlors. So if any of the
readers of the Press are intending to make
Saturday holiday, they cannot do better
than visit Crawfords to enjoy the sports ap-
pointed for that day. They can witness all
the outdoor games and get home in the even-
ing, or better still, let them come prepared to
spend Sunday among the mountains at this
hospitable inn.
With August, the business at the mountains
has considerably improved, though in common
with other popular resorts, the hotels are not
SO crowded as usual at this time in former sea-
sons. 1t is very lively here and everybody is
having good time. The stay.at-homes, how
ever, who are denying themselves their accus-
toned vacations, will regret it when it is too
late. The season will soon be over, and the
busy work and worry of life through cold
weather will be all the harder for lack of the
usual summer recreation. ID.

THE STORY DENIED
Lieut. Greedy Enterviewed-The Report of
Cannibalism Pronounced Unfrue.


Cannibalism Pronounced Untrue.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 13.-Early this morn
ing Col Kent obtained an interview with Greelv
who admitted that Henry had military execution
on the 9th of June. AS early as March it was sus-
pected that Henry was stealing limited food which
was apportioned out to the survivors for their sus
tenance and this fact being finally and positively
ascertained, Lieut.. Greedy had thereafter hard
work to protect the mans life. 1t became neces-
sary IN order to keep up discipline to inform enry
that he would be shot if the practice continued and
that similar tate would be melted out to any other
member of the party who should be detected in
Ike crime. Ii Henry had been permitted to con.
tmue his stealings unmolested the balance of the
party wonld have surely starved to death and
Henry alone survived.
After and in spite of these warnings Henry was
again sdetected stealing provisions, among other
artlcles OF food having taken two pounds OF bacon
and eaten so much that it.made him sick Search
was instituted and it was found that Henry had
among othersarticleS stolen and secreted nair of
seal skin boots which had belonged to hunter of
the party.
Lieut.. Greedy was therefore forced, in order to
maintain military discipline and to protect the lives
ofhis comrades, to issue written order that Henry

As to the alleged cannibalism Lieut.. Greedy says
II there was anything of the kind it must have been
an individual act and not general. Nothing of the
kind however came under Lieut.. Greely's personal
observation. Sergeant Brainard who is in the
hospital at the navy yard confirms Lieut. Greely's
statement.
More than week ago Lieut.. Greelv forwarded
to the Secretary of War detailed report of Henrys
execution. Upon proper representations to Secfe-
tary Chandler court of inquiry will undoubtedly
be ordered.
