THE WRESTLING MATCH.
1t Is Won by Schumacher In Two straight Fla Is


 The GrGco- Roman wrestling match between Greek George and Peter Schu- macher, of Tombstone, last night, was one Of the best affairs nf the kind ever witnessed in this city. The glaring diff. ference between the two men was at once apparent, Schumacher weighing I45 pounds and Greek George about ISo. A great deal of science was displayed.
 The two men went to work without losing any time. Grips and locks were taken and broken with astonishing rapid ity. After wrestling about five minutes, Schumacher succeeded in getting George on the floor In that position, some very fine scientific floor play was made. After whirling out of several dangerous positions, Schumacher succeeded in gain ing half Nelson and part back ham mer lock and George performed the bridge thereby raising Schumacher by main strength and extricatlns himself from his recumbent position Again on their feet, the two men, by an interchange of fine half-arm play, went to the floor simultaneously. Schumacher once more obtained his favorite half Nelson hold, George again trying the bridge, bu, this time unsuccessfully. Schumacher then | forced Georges shoulders to the floor Time of the first round, ISH minutes.
 After an intermission of fifteen min u,es, time was again called and the men went to work with greater earnestness than ever After series of hard strug- gles, both men perspiring profusely, Schumacher asked the referee for per mission to be rubbed down, which was granted. The two men then separated for rub down and rest, lasting about ten minutes. Going to work again, some excellent scientific action was displayed. Schumacher again succeeded in throwing George off his feet, but the latter imme' diately got neck lock, from behind, on Schumacher, and by graceful thro" landed Peter on his head. Using hi: head as pivot, the agile Tombstonel avoided falling on his back, After sev eral more passes, lasting ten or twelve minutes, Schumacher again got hal Nelson and from that forced Georges shoulders to the floor in the same man ner as in the first bout, thereby winning the second fall and the match.
 The hall was crowded, the receipts amounting to close upon $4oo Ed Will son acted as referee. As will be seer from another column of this paper George has issued another challenge t wrestle Schumacher a mixed match { Graco- Roman and catch-as-catch.can
 NOTES.
 Both men were Justify cheered, whe y any advantage was obtained. , Schumacher is dandy. Anyone wh , don't believe it can try him on. Z The house was worth about S4oo. The Toughnut boys are happy. n There were many people who though that Greek George did not do his best |, Greek George has match in Denvt fl with man by the name of Perrer, whic q will take place inside of two weeks.
 Not much money changed hands c .< the result.
 Peters friends will back him against e corners.
 a It was worth the price of admission e see the match.

rhe congregatIonaI cIub.

The Congregational Club held its regular
March meeting last evening at the Preble
House. About 140 ladies and gentlemen
gathered around the handsomely spread and
excellently served tables, enjoying greatly
the generous repast, seasoned with social
intercourse and fellowship. The address of
the evening following the supper was given
by Prof. Llewellyn Pratt ID. d., of the
Hartford, Conn, Theological Seminary. His
subject, 1.-The responsibility of the churches
in the call to the ministry" was an able and
timely discussion of vital duty on the part
of our churches and one very greatly
neglected. He gave clear statement of the
inadequacy of the supply of ministers. The
cause was attributed to false views of what
constitute call to the ministry. The
speaker insisted with great force, arguing
from Scripture and history, the duty Of the
church to call its choice young men to the
ministry. Seldom has the club listened to a
more important theme, more earnestly and
seriously presented. DR.. Pratt from his
position as professor at Hartford could
speak knowingly upon this subject. The
cordial thanks of the club were extended to
the speaker by DR.. Fem, and seconded by a
unanimous vote.
The interest in the club is increasing, and
quite number of new members have re-
Gently joined. The next meeting will be
held id Maya ladies' meeting, to be adj
dressed by Rev. E. B. Webb, D. D., of
Boston.

A Pleasant Surprise.

Yesterday afternoon, while Mrs. Samuel
B. Kelsey was up town shopping, the ladies
connected with the Second Parish Circle (oi
which Mrs. Kelsey is President went to her
residence, No. 120 Franklin street, and
quietly took possession They all came
loaded down with everything to make up
picnic supper, and when Mrs. Kelsey re-
turned home she found her rooms swarming
with ladies and gentlemen and the tables all
laid in the spacious dining room Her sur
prise can better be imagined than described.
In few moments, however, she recovered
her equanimity and entered heartily into the
fun. After all the company had partaken
of supper they adjourned to the parlors,
where Mr.. Kelsey and son 'Ted" pleasingly
rendered several selections upon the flute
and piano. A letter was also read from
Mrs. J. E. Mcdowell, a member of the
circle, now on one of the Raymond excur-
sions, describing her trip thus far, after
which sociality ruled till a late hour 1t was
avery pleasant affair and much enjoyed by
all the participants. The handsome album
quilt, containing 1900 names, just completed
by the Circle and nicely set by Mrs. P. w.
Woodbury., was exhibited and received
many complimentary notices. The quilt has
been purchased by Mrs. Kelsey.

The schooner Robert Byron sailed from
this port on the 10Th of last December,
bound on trading trip to the Cape de Verde
islands. The vessel was of about 100 tons
burden and commanded by Captain Cannon
of Deer Isle. She carried crew of about
seven men, and was owned and fitted out by
Capt. W. FL. Lewis and c. p. Knapp of this
city. The crew was mostly made up of
natives of the Cape de Verde islands. The
passage to the Cape de Verde islands ordi-
dinarily lasts from 20 to % days, and as
nothing has been heard of the Byron since
she sailed away from Portland, she has been
given up for lost by her owners. When the
last steamer left the islands the Byron was
already As days overdue. The vessel and
cargo were insured. Capt Carmen had
many friends in this city and his loss will be
greatly felt.
The Robert Byron is the second vessel to
be lost in the trade in short time. the
schooner Vanelian, Capt. Allen, being the
first. The Vanelian was wrecked in heavy
November gale while on her voyage home.

According to previous appointment there
was quite large gathering of the ministers
of the city and vicinity at the Y N. C. A.
Hall yesterday morning. The president,
Rev. E. T. Adams, was in the chair.
Revs. Dalton, Blanchard and Bayley were
appointed committee to make inquiries as
to arrangements for religious instruction in
the school for deaf mutes, and ascertain if
anything farther should be furnished by
the churches.
Revs. Bayley, Blanchard and Small were
elected an executive committee to make
necessary arrangements for the future meet
ings.
DR.. Dalton delivered an address on the
question, SIN what does the Christian Sab
bath differ from the Jewish Sabbath" He
plainly indicated the difference as that of
grace and law. The discussion drew out
many practical suggestions, and gave sure
proof that all were agreed as to the inn
portance of more religious observance of
the Lords day. II was the expressed belief
that concerted action on the part of the
clergy would awaken new activity throughout
the churches and the previous decision to
preach on that subject next Sunday was
made more general and emphatic.
Being matter of prime Importance in all
questions relating to body, mind and soul, it
is to be expected at least-that the
ministers will make themselves heard in mo
uncertain sound 1t surely is time to call
halt in reference to the dissertation and
disuse of the Lords Day, and all man-loying,
God-fearing people should unite in creating
public sentiment which will make this
call.
1t is probable that very large proporti n
of the pastors of the city will enforce the
truth concerning this matter next Sunday;
and all throughout the State are earnestly
invited to do so.
AT the next meeting Of the ministers, to be
held April 9Th, Rev. F. I. Bayley will read a
paper on Sunday Excursions"

Horse car MEN at Dinner,

The employees Of the Portland Railroad
Company to the number of sixty sat down to
supper last evening at the City Hotel. The
tables were tastefully spread, and the wants
of the inner man well cared for by mine
host Robinson. The management of the
road was represented by the General Mana
ger, Mr. Newman, who sat at the head of the
table, and after the viands had been discuss
ed, the attorney eff the road, G.. F. Libby,
Esq, made the opening remarks, in which
he referred to some of the difficulties attend
ing the management of horse railroads, and
the n eed of care and alertness ON the part
of its employees to avoid accidents. He re-
ferred also to the claims of the public to po-
lite and courteous treatment and the desire
of the road to accord fair and generous
treatment to its employees, and in this con-
nection announced that the road had decided
to reduce the hours of labor of its conduc-
tors and drivers to ten hours and three-quar-
tiers, and hoped that the change would result
in benefit to the men and increased efficiency
of the service to the public. Further re-
marks followed from some of the employees
and the utmost good humor prevailed.

New Mexico.

Tonight Hon. Clarence Pullen, late Sur
yeyor General of New Mexico, will lecture
IN that Territory at the library room, Me-
chanics Hall, in the free Mechanics course.
The Bangor Wing says when he delivered
the lecture in that city Gen. G. W. Roberts
of the New Unity Club presided; his sub
ject was comparatively new to people in the
East and yet full of interest. He has made a
study of New Mexico and its people, and
presents the results of his study and OBJ
servation in language singularly felicitous.
Those who listened to the lecture found it
rarely entertaining When Mr.. Pullen fin
ished he was heartily applauded and large
number Of his friends pressed forward to
congratulate him upon the effort. 1t was
certainly one of the best addresses of the
kind ever given in Bangor. Mr.. Pullen has
large and extended acquaintance in Port
land, and there will be great desire evinced
to hear his lecture.
