Willis chautauqua Circle.

To the Editor of the Press:
June 26, 1886, will long be remembered by
the members of Willis Chautauqua Circle
who were fortunate enough to attend their
first excursion at Sebago Lake. The threat
ening weather in the morning prevented
some from attending, but goodly number
gathered at the P. & 0. station at $50 a. m.
and when the shout "All aboard" was given
and we were settled in our seats, "Old Sol"
shone upon us as good omen Of one days
happiness. Arriving at the lake after ride
of little more than half an hour, we wend-
ed our way to the Pavilion, and after dis
posing of our luggage, entered upon the les
tivities of the day. Nature was dressed in
her best robe. The fields, so fresh and green
after the recent rains, the watersof the lake
looking like sea of glass, formed beautl-
full picture. The bowling alley was an at
traction to some of the party while rowing,
swinging and sightseeing occupied the time
of others, until the hour of noon when we
were summoned to dinner which had been
spread in the dining hall. A unique bill Of
fare had been prepared by one OF the MEM
bers, and after the "inner man" had been
satisfied with the good things prepared, a
very interesting letter from Rev j. nj. Will
liams of Manchester, and former presi-
dent of the Circle, was read by the secretary
The afternoon train from Portland brought
more of our friends, and the remaining time
was delightfully."- spent until the hour of our
leaving. We arrived home in due time, all
prOnouncing the excursion the best they had
attended, and thinking Lake Sebago just the
place to go. Thus ended our last meeting for
the year. ONE OF THEM.

with the New Workers.

Boston, June 2S.-Sloops Maydower and
Puritan arrived at Marblehead this even
ing and nearly all the yachts that are to par
ticipate in the Eastern Yacht Club races to-
morrow are now here in Mdrblehead harbor.
The Priscilla remained at anchor during the
day. A large party of yachting gentlemen
came from New York tonight. The May
flower is considered by Workers the best Of
ihe sloops that are to start and it is said
that New Workers generally believe she will
be selected to sail for the Americas cup.
The interest in the race is very great and it
is safe to say no regatta has ever taken
place in the East that has created greater ex-
citement. All kinds of crafts have been
chartered for the day, and the regatta will be
witnessed by thousands. Friends of the
Puritan still stick to her and will not admit
that she will be beaten The Mayfower is
slightly the favorite in betting as against the
Puritan. The wind tonight was from the
north east and light. Capt. Stone of the
Mayfower, thought it would blow out and
come around tomorrow to the southwest.

be little or no windward work over the

The following is proposed by the Wilkes
Spirit as sure remedy for the dead-heat
nuisance that is now so common: ''Substi-
tute for the present finish posts two thin
perpendicular wires. Place at one end of
the finish line an expert photographer, who
will establish his camera so that the two
wires will be in the centre of his glass. Then
have him photograph each finish, Just as the
leading horses reach the line. His picture
will show the wires dividing the plate in
half, and on either side Of them the horses
ment the plate was exposed. In cases where
one horse is winning easily, but there is a
close race for second place, he should let the
leader pass and catch the second division" "
1t is claimed that two horses seldom cross
the line with their noses exactly even, and
that the camera would prove nine out of
every ten dead-heats to have been won by
one of the horses
