1t is next to impossible for you to form any
idea Of the scene at this first of the three gree.
aquatic contests which are expected to settle
the sculling supremacy. The Parramatta River
is truly the headquarters IF rowing in the
world to-day. In no Other part Of the world
could be found on the occasion Of a sculling
match between two professionals, on such a
course, such fleet of steam boats, sailing
boats, pulling boats and such concourse o.
spectators on land.

had accumulated to cheer him away to the

Or. paIton,s Lectures.

For six successive years the rector of st.
Stephens church has opened the season of
long eyenings-the recurring period of
special reading and study-with a course OF
lectures, in which he has freely given the
fruits of his extensive learning and ripe
Judgment, both in history and literature, for
the entertainment and instruction of all
who came together at the appointed time and
place.
1t is a happiness to know that these lee
lures have won an ever increasing interest
and appreciation on the part of those for
whom they were designed, and that great
many young persons, not otherwise provided
with such teaching, have found supply fol
their lack of reading, as well as guidance
in their pursuit of reading, in these public
spirited and extraordinary efforts of a dill
gent and devoted parish minister.
The course for this year was opened with
an encouraging attendance, not in st.
Stephens church, but in the Y. M. G. A.
Hall. The young men of business in our
city should look well to the subjects of these
lectures and see that DR.. Dalton does not
miss the honor that properly belongs to his
'chair' in their university" e. G. G.

The Dickens Party.

There was a coed sized audience present at
City Hall last evening to witness the Dickens
Party given in connection with the fair OF
the Ladies' Aid of the Church of the Messiah.
The party was success, thirteen of the
works of the novelist being represented, the
parts being well taken and, as a rule cor
rectly costumed. In the first part, DR.. Ord
way made good Dickens and as the charac-
tiers passed across the stage, good opportu-
nifty of seeing them was afforded. The re-
ception of the characters by Mr.. Pickwick,
the introductions being made by Sam Weller,
Jr., followed the dream. Mr.. 0. B. Written
was capital Pickwick and Mr.. E. I'll. Sar-
gent as Sam did his part exceedingly well.
Wrinkle, Snodgrass and Tupman represented
by Messrs. F. HI. Cushing, S. Adams and t.
S. Laughlin were true pictures of MI. Pick
wick's companions. Among the other many
noticeable characters were Barnaby Ridge,
Miss Havershaw, the Misses Pecksniff, Young
Bailey, Dick SWiveller, and the other repre-
sensations from the Old Curiosity Shop,
Noah Claypole, Wilkins Micawber, Mr..
Dick with his kite and manuscript, the
Uriah Heep, Capt. Cutie, Pagan and the
Artful Dodger, Mrs. Jellaby with Caddy and
Peepy. The Squeers school was led by Mrs.
Squeers vigorously stirring that dreadful
compound she was won't to administer to the
boys and the little Kenwigs were prominent
feature of the party. The character part of
the programme was well carried out, the
meeting of the Pickwick Club being exciting
and the famous trial conducted in due legal
form

The semi-annual meeting of the Maine
Branch of Woman's Board of Foreign Mis-
sions at Williston Church was opened yester-
day bythe Pres, Mrs. W. H. Fem, reading
selection of Scripture and leading in prayer.
She also gave several interesting items from
reports and letters of missionaries now in the

A paper on Woman's Opportunity was read
Very clearly painted pictures of the homes
of Turkey and descriptions of the school
work were given by Miss Proctor who has
labored in that country twenty-five years.
A letter from Miss Lord of Smyrna was
read. A paper upon Japan and the Mission
work there by Mrs. Rowell of Portland was
full of interest. Mrs. Peaslee of Auburn
led in prayer. A beautiful duet was sung by
Mrs Farley and Miss Merrill. The ladies
provided bountiful collation. to which all
attending the meetings were cordially in
vited
The thanks of the meeting were voted to
the ladies of the churches, to those who as
sisted unsteady, also to the Maine Central
railroad for favors always so generously
