with their great burden of twenty or thirty

night after night disappearing God and

they scoffed at men and they scoffed

GOVERNORS DAY.
The MaIne Troops on Their Best
Behavior for the occasion.

AUGUSTA, August 29.-Goyernor's day at
Camp Burlegh was the finest In the history
of the encampment of the Maine militia, and
everything passed off smoothly and credit
ably to all engaged in the work performed.
The battalion drill at $50 a. m. included
skirmish drill, which was very fine. The
parade at 2.3O for the review Of the troops by
the Governor was fine sight. As the troops
passed the Governors staff in column Of
companies, the military critics present were
enthusiastic. After the review the skirmish
drill and sham-fght were novel and intense
ly interesting. Both were heartily appre-
ciated and favorably received There was
hardly flaw in the dress parade at D. m.
The Montgomery Guards, Capt. Hartnett.
gave fine exhibition drill at Up. m. In front
brigade headquarters was most elaborate
and a great credit to Capt. Paine, One hun
dred and twenty-five covers were laid for the
distinguished guests. Colonel Brett OF the
Second Regiment, with his field and line ofli-
GERS, paid their respects to the Governor and
staff during the evening. An immense num-
ber of people were present, including many
distinguished ladies and gentlemen. AdJu-
tant General Dalton and party OF Massa-
chusetts military men were among the num-
Der. The day closed perfectly, and every
body is enthusiastic over the camp, which
has in reality been very fine.
Governor Burleigh and several members OF
his staff shot at the range, making creditable
scores.
Capt. Dunn, U. S. A., speaks in high
terms of the troops. "Of course" he said,
.If they were regular troops, higher
standard would be required, but taking
these mer from the peaceful pursuits of a
citizens life, what can be expected? From
what l had read regarding the troubles in
the Maine militia, I had dreaded coming
here, and should have escaped the duty if
possible, but 1 have been most tagreeably dis
appointed in finding such harmony as pre-
walls here"
Speaking about the men, he observed: ST
was an aid on Gen. Grout's staff during the
war, and / remember when we came to
Spottsylvania there were two regiments Of
Maine men along, and they looked to me to
be all of six feet two inches in height. The
men on this field will average not over five
feet ten inches. But there Is good stuff
there, and / should like to have some Of
them in my battery"
He spoke in very commendatory terms OF
the work of the First Maine Battery, and
the perfection which had been reached un-
condition to enter into service at any mo-
ment." But Captain Dunn referred in con-
demnatory terms to their equipments; the
harnesses were old and did not fit.

CORNISH, August 29-The August meet

Association closed today very pleasantly af-
ter three days session. favored by beauti-
full weather and large attendance.
Six fine Redwood colts, five the property Of
J. Warren Flint of Baldwin, and the other
bred by J.. M. Hardy of Cornish, were ex-
hibited on the course, and also Druco Wilkes,
a colt two years old; Phenoll, a two-year-
old, bred by DIR. Swasey, and the stallion
Watson, son Of Wilton, and grandson of the
illustrious trotter George Wilkes.
A game of base ball was played between
the Cornish and Buxton clubs before the
trials of speed were renewed. In the ball
play the Cornish boys were victorious by a
score of % to 8.
To witness the trotting contests an audi
ence of 5000 spectators was upon the grounds
and quite a Portland delegation among
A. p. Hawkins, G. II. Loveitt, Ed Graffam,
John f. Barrett and others were present.
At 1.30 the exercises opened for the COM
pletion of the hard fought four-year-old race
Of the previous day. 1t will be remembered
that the contest between the noted young
stations was highly interesting. Westland
won the first heat, Guywood the second and
third, and Westland the fourth, when dark
ness put an end to the contest. In the sec
ond heat Weutwood was ruled out of the
race for the bad judgment of his driver in
swerving out Of his position on
the home stretch. Westland came out in fine
condition for t0day's work and to the sur
prise of every one distanced Guywood in the
final heat Westland made the first half
mile in 1.15 and the mile in 2.37. 1t was
evident that he could have trotted in 230 or
better had it been necessary. This valuable
