Things are quiet at Hotel Fisk now, but the
Michigan people are preparing for big re-
ception to be held this evening

ground, we find on the left the 216 tents as
signed to the Massachusetts Department.
All was still among them, however, but ac-
tive preparations showed that something
was going to happen by and by. All around
work was progressing on the cooking tents
and the mellitiu0us voice of the three for a
dime man beguiled the unwary lad from
the rural districts, and now and then stray
veteran was not wholly proof to the seduc-
tive tones of shit him once and you get a
cigar" Later the rain bade fair to give our
visitors an unpleasant reception. Some of
the Massachusetts posts, however, arrived i'll
time to get the benefit Of the mornings
shower. Next beyond, the Department of
grounds published this morning.
There was some disappointment among
the old veterans at the prospect OF rainy
day, yet they seemed to enjoy themselves
in each other s company, hand-shaking, re-
newing their former acquaintanceS and chat
ting merrily. The camps were covered with
dust and had an appearance of age that no
doubt called to their minds their former camp
ing grounds and scenery. Among the posts
that arrived in the morning and went into
quarters were Thompson Post of Cornish
Ne So, fifty men; Farragnt Post, AZ men, of
Bridgton; Burnside Post, No. AZ, of Auburn,
composed of 35 men. Among the posts ar
irving whom qugrters were not provided for,
and who had not previously applied, We're
Post No. 124 and E. H. Bradstreet Post Of
y
posed of GA men, were assigned only four
tents.
At 10 O'Clock, the Custer Post AT, n. H.,
Peter Mitchell, commander, of North Con-
way, was the first to appear at Camp Grant.
1t numbered 25 men, which win be increased
to 45, and was accompanied by the Conway
brass band of 20 pieces. Quarters wete as
signed at the right portion of the New Hamp-
shire division, and soon the men were scat
tered. some starting off to see tho sights,
while others stretched themselves upon the
straw in the tents.

Brief Sketches Of Yesterdays Most
Important Events.

Yesterday opened gray and chill, with
stiff South wind blowing, causing some of
the advance guard of the Grand Army, in
camp on the Eastern Promenade, as the fog
swept in from old ocean, to think that there
was, even in summer, too much of good
thing in the health-giving breezes, laden
with salt spray. But when, later in the
morning, the torrents of rain descended,
washing the thick dust from the trees, max
ing the roadway delight rather than
curse, and Portland prepared to welcome the
army Of occupation with her most beauti-
full robes and most charming smiles, and in
the clear atmosphere Hallway Rock could be
plainly seen. ten miles away, they came to
the conclusion that Portland's attractiveness
had not been overestimated.
The streets were comparatively quiet for
the first day of the encampment, during the
morning hours, but with the advent of the
sun, after the shower, the sound of martial
music was borne on the air, and by night
the strains of full bands of music struggled
to be heard above the steady beat of the
myriad drum and fife corps. At evening, as
train after train and boat after boat poured
its living freight into the town, the streets
presented constant stream of boys in blue,
bands clad in all kinds of uniforms, posts
that-like Wilcox Post of Springfield, Mass,
mot only had their men we'll sized and we'll
drilled but posts also that evidently had
done but little in military tactics since the
war. Besides the veterans, the friends of
the comrades added to the general crowd.
BY s O'Clock in the evening, the sidewalks
were almost impossible on the principal
thoroughfares the horse cars were crowded
and men clung on wherever there was foot
hold, like bees to twig, and the moving
throngs, the gay decorations stirring in the
wind, Illuminated by the electric lights, made
striking picture.
Within the hotel corridors, comrades were
grouped in knots, filing every inch of space.

At the door of the Falmouth Hotel stood
Jack Crawford, the poet-scout, the observed

LIQUOR MONOPOLY.
Attempt TO Place DistiIIation in the
Hands Of Five Operators.

OTTAWA, Ont June 2o.-The House of Com
mons and Senate are being flooded with memo
rails protesting against the bill brought in by the
minister of inland revenue, which provides that
after the 1st of July, 1887 no spirits subject to
excise shall be entered for consumption which
have not been manufactured for at least IL
months, and after the first day of July, 1890, no
such spirits shall be entered for consumption
which have not been manufactured for at least
two years. Ii is held that this act will place the
monopoly in the hands of the five distilleries now
in operation in the Dominion, as no new distillery
Of the required age unless the enormous capital
supporting it can run two years without realizing
ON its products. 1t is held that with this mono
poly. distillers already established would be able
to charge exorhitant prices without fear of com
petition. When the resolution was introduced in
Parliament few days ago, there was little dis
cusSi0n upon il, no one at that time appearing to
realize the gigantic monopoly they were legisla-
ting into existence but the object of the minister
the bill will undoubtedly be withdrawn before ii
comes up for Il third reading.
