The meeting at the Methodist church
on April 7th, will long be remembered by
those who were 80 fortunate az to be
present. The morning meeting was at
tended by large number and was of
great interest. l04 were present In the
Sunday School The audience room was
filled In the Z. M. with an attentive con-
gregation to listen to a most practical
sermon from the pastor, the Rev. 4. l..
Allen, from John. Ia, at the close Of the
sermon the sacrament was administered
to SO persons. Three were taken into
the church on probation. Many hearts
were rejoiced that once more in song
they were permitted to hear the sweet
voice of one who is very dear to this
people, Mrs. W. II. Emery of Skowhegan,
formerly of this village. In the evening
the vestry was crowded and the interest
was intense, several requests were made
for prayers and at the end of two hours
1t seemed as but moment 80 great was
the interest. The singing led by Mrs
Emery one could well imagine to be q
foretaste Of the music of heaven. The
church as whole was never In our re.

ton both spiritually and financially. The
pastor is very populanot only In this

return is earnestly requested.

SkoWhsgan Athletes Abroad.

The Skowhegan Athletic Association,
which gave It's exhibition at Fairfield on
Thursday evening Of last week, is thus
spoken of by the Fairfield Journal
The exhibition of the Skowhegan Ath-
letic club at the Opera House, Thursday
evening, was one of the best entertain
ments that has been brought there
From the time the twenty young men
marched on with the wands till the cur
tain fell on the beautiful Indian Club drill,
there was not minute of the exercises
that did not hold the full attention of the
audience. All the exercises were per-
formed with an ease and grace that
showed long and careful training and II
would be hard to single out anything for
special mention as every thing was good.
The "llercules Trio" took the audience by
storm, they were three brawny athletes
whose combined weight was less than 100
pounds, but the ease with which they per-
formed all the difficult horizontal bar and
tumbling feats was wonderful. The fan
cy club swinging by Prof. Hurd was ele-
giant and his execution of the difficult
"butterhy" figure was dazzling. Perhaps
one Of the most satisfactory feats was
the wonderful vaulting of Lumsden, he
clearing the bar at its highest notch,
eight feet. The high kicking was a re-
markable exhibition, Varney the champi-
on high kicker of the Association, beat
his previous record for standing kick by
touching the eight foot mark. Brown
also beat the record for hitch and kick
by reaching eight feet and three inches
Everything went off very smoothly and
the audience were very liberal with their
applause.
