PortIand,s Musical Record.

To the Editor of the Press:
Among the many causes for congratulation
upon the progress of Portland, and one by
no means to be overlooked in the centennial
celebration, is its musical record Although
our city has no opera house, and does not
offer sufficient inducement to wandering
great musical stars to make us more than
passing visit, Portland possesses something
of more permanent yalue,-a steady and in
creasing musical interest and attainment.
Not to make here more than passing allu-
sion to the many soloists, vocal and instru-
mental, who do credit to themselves and to
their teachers, the general standard of must
cal appreciation is good; and our city has
great reason to be proud of the Haydn
chorus, which is unsurpassed in its pre-
cisiOn, intelligence and efficiency. This
chorus owes its worth, its very existence, to
the careful and inspiring leadership of Mr..
the musical history of Portland, it appears
that its steady progress has, in an eminent
degree, been due to the influence of this
artist, as indefatigable as inspired.
Hermann KOtZschmar may justly be con-
sidered the founder of musical culture in our
n city; and should receive, upon this occasion,
the honOrs due to his important and well full
filled mission. In arranging the programme
of the centennial, 1T would seem especially
suitable that Mr.. Kotzschmar be urgently in
yited to include some compo, ition of his
own, representative of his genius, and sung
under his baton, by the chorus which he has
trained. Lest his own delicacy OF sentiment
should too much withhold him from placing
one of his own works upon the programme,
the request should be made so unanimously
and so warmly that he will rot hesitate to
comply with it, and to add suitability, dig
nifty and beauty to the exercises by assuming
the place which is his of right, as the repre-
sentative musician of Portland. ***

The Sunday Question.
the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor OF the Press:
The opinion of physicians whom l con-
suited regarding closing drug stores on Sun
day was this: That there should be at
every hour of Sunday, some one drug store
open at each end of the city. In this way
person could obtain medicine without a seri-
Gus loss of time, and the clerks in every
store would be allowed the greater part of
the day for rest and recreation. Such an ad
iustment of Sunday work would seem to be
practicable. l quote. from DR.. Gerrish.
with this opinion the views of other physi-
clans coincide, with the suggestion that dur
ing ''closed hours" even a prescription clerk
accessible by bell call might answer every
purpose. May | add that if the people are
willing to endure even very little inc0n-
yenience, it seems quite practicable to devise
plan by which druggists can be relieved Of
the arduous task of seven days toll. The
committee will doubtless endeav0r to bring
about satisfactory results in this direction
l.. H. H., for the Association.
The Portland daily press., 1886-06-01

At the conclusion of Mr.. Libby's remarks,
the Weber Club sang "Rest, Soldier, Rest"
The closing address was delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Tinker The following is an abstract
REV. MIR. TIMERS ADDRESS.
Mr.. Chairman. FELLOW Citizens and Members
Of the Grand ATmy Of the Republic:
| deem it fortunate that my first public ap-
pearanee among you IS ON an occasion OF
such universal, deep and tender interest Of
all this large assembly there IS not one
whose heart does not bleed in tenderest SYM
patty with the beautiful floral and memorial
services of the day, in memory of the dead
heroes, who gave themselves without stint
for land, and home, and freedom, and the
Union.
The appropriate and eloquent words of
those who have addressed you this evening
have greatly simplified the part allotted to
me, and render it altogether unnecessary for
me to detain you at any considerable length.
| speak to you tonight from the ranks and
as common soldier, who, in the hour Of his
country's peril, not waiting for the demands
of law, but stirred by his love for right and
native land, with gun in hand leaped into
the arena to bear his share OF the sweat and
the toll, and the sacrifice, to maintain the So
lidity and integrity of the Union. At times
like this my mind instinetively goes back to
the soil of Old Virginia, to the Army of the
Potomac, and to the scenes of yore. l see
the boys in blue; drawer men never lived,
truer men never marched TO DatJleHelQ.
There are the sturdy sons of New England
with the blood of their revolutionary fathers
coursing through their veins; there are the
dauntless and brilliant sons of Patrick's
green isle, who have won large place in the
hearts of the American people; and there
are the invincible men from the lowlands OF
Germany, who, with measured tread, march
on to certain victory; and there are men
from almost every cline beneath the sun, ae-
tuated by the same motives, prompted by the
same spirit of patriotism, ready to DO, TO
dare, and to die, that this broad land OF ours
may remain an undivided land, and this ma
ton a united and free people; and those in
estimable blessings, the inheritance OF every
American citizen. There is Mcclellan, and
Pope, and Meade, and Hooker, and Burnside,
and Griffin, and Chamberlain, and Hancock,
and Sheridan, and Grant, the greatest of
them all; the hero of Donelson, of Vicks-
burg, and of Appomattox. Great in war, but
greater in peace.
In concluding his remarks, Mr.. Tinker
paid glowing tribute to the splendid quail
ties and noble characteristics of Gen. Grant
All the speakers were literally applauded.
The thanks of the Grand Army were extend
ed by the chairman to all who had assisted in
the observance of the day, and the meeting
dispersed after the singing of america" by
the audience.

off for washi ngton.

Mr.. o. B. Written, OF Lewis, Chase &
Written, will go to Washington today and
appear before the Senate committee in re-
gard to the bill establishing close time for
mackerel. The bill passed the House by a
very handsome majority and since then the
New York and New Jersey fishermen have
made opposition to the bill, so that Mr..
Written goes on to explain the case to
the Senate committee.
Mr.. Written thinks the government made
mistake in employing counsel the hight the
Adams and Doughty cases in the admiralty
court of Canada, instead of dealing directly
with the home government. He thinks the
whole fishery questions resolves itself into the
question, ''What are our rights in Canadian
ports and waters, or have we none? If we
haven't any then the Canadian fishermen
should have none in our ports or waters.
