from bis attempt to salute lady as the

his physicians advice, who thought little
rest would be good for him.
In this city. fully 1000 people gathered to
loudly as he alighted. The President bowed
courteously, and for moment stood with

After the lunch was over the President

passed down the main street and reached
Custom House square between and g. 1t
was wretched weather and the northeast
storm was blowing the rain under the um-
brellas of the crowd. 1t didn't dampen the
ardor of the Bath people, Some Of them
had waited for two hours In the storm. As
the party drove up the square a loud cheer
welcomed it, and, at the sight of President
repeated.
At the custom house brief informal re-
ception took place in the collectors room,
which Collector Wakefield had decorated for
the occasion. Mr.. Wakefield had been chat
ing at the weather all the morning, He re-
marked early in the morning: This
weather don't look much like that when Polk
was here. remember that-a starlit eve
ming: 1t was in 1S45. He came by steamer
on on his way to Augusta. and got here at 8
for him to be seen, and it was here that
John Todd uttered the immortal declaration,
President Polk, look out for your pocket
But nevertheless. in spite of the unfavor-
able weather the President had such loyal
reception that the reminiscent collector was
satisfied.
From the Custom House steps the Presi-
dent addressed the people briefly.
He said that he had appreciated his warm
reception in Bath, but above all had appre-
ciated the wonderful. facilities of the city
and its shipping interests. He felt very
sorry that time and opportunities forbade
his holding public reception, for he would
be delighted to welcome the good people of
the city. He had more than enjoyed his
brief stay, and believed from its evidences
that he should be- more than ever delighted
with the Pine Tree State. In closing he
said now need say good bye, hope you
VIII allow me once again to thank you for
ity and happiness for all time to come.
This brief speech was received with
cheers.
The Sail.
From the Custom House the party went to
the southern division of the iron works.
Here the children of the Orphans Home
welcomed them with song. They passed
through the works, and then boarded the
Wiwurna. which was beautifully decorated,
and started at 3 p. m. for sail on the river.
The river was alive with crafts during the
sail and the continual screeching and
screaming of whistles was the liyeliest
sound that Bath has heard for years. Every
craft was flying its flag and the river made
stirring sight. The steamer Samoset gave
free excursion and accompanied the Presi-
dents boat close alongside. The tug boats
all had big parties. The Wiwurna went
down river to the southern yards and thence
up river again.
After the sail the President returned to
the Sewall mansion for a second lunch. This
is the spread for that lunch:

The shrill screech Of the locomotive as the
Somerset railroad gradually extends Its
track nOrthward from North Anson seems to
awaken new life and energy throughout the

Is 1t more keenly felt than in this little vii
lage Of SOlOn, which adjOins Carratunk
Falls. This magnificent water, where the
river flows between two solid lodges, has a
direct descent Of nearly 40 feet, and as a
water power, when utilized, will undoubted-
ly prove the best in New England. A rail-
road bridge Is being built directly over the
falls, and New York parties who have bond
ed the water power are busily engaged In
building paper and pulp mill, one on each
side Of the river. They will tunnel a canal
on each side, and propose to divert the en-
trance channel of the river. The railroad
bridge will be finished soon, and Contractor
Mills, who has 200 men under him, expects
to reach Bingham, eight miles beyond SOlon,
by the first OF November. Should this road
be continued SO as to connect with the Cana
dian Pacific, as IL undoubtedly will. the pos
sibilities of the fertile Kennebec valley are
unlimited.
