Peter Cenley of Portland wants to close his sea-
son with race against Teemer,. and asks for ten
seconds start in five miles, As he proposes that the
stakes shall be only $500 side to row at Sebago
lake, it is safe to predict that the will be
rowed there this year. If $1,000 side were the
stake named the Teemer party would consider the
proposition but as the matter stands the accept
rejection of the challenge is left to Teen
himself. Teemer had made up his mind before
leaving Boston that he would not any

sEcRETARY's REPORT.

Mrs. President and Ladies of the Diet Mission:
In the report of our years work very little can
be i'd that is new, for the work that is done
month by month for the sick poor of our city has
become systematzed that, except lin citing indi-
vldua cases, the work of year will very closely
resemble that of another The year just closed has
been successful one, and feeling we do that an
organized system of giving is the best method of
helping those among us who are ill, unfortunate
and not able to help themselves, we encouraged
to continue.
The following figures will show the amount of
work done. The rooms opened October 9th, with
twelve patients. During the year seventy-six diff
ferent persons have been helped; of that number
nine have died. The board of visitors, numbering
four 70 each ward, have made eight hundred ana
twenty -eight personal visits, and twenty-sx hun
dred tickets for supplies have been given out.
Regular monthly meetings have been held on the
first Saturday of each month, and have, as a rule
been we'll autenned
The different churches, representing as they do
the large membership of society, have given us
their help in supplies and money most generously;
and while thanking them for what they have done
in the past we ask from each and every one the
same cordial interest and support for the coming
year. ISABELLE T. CLARK.
