ment and management will be required to
prevent it from running the beauty, the
magnifcence, and the decorum of this great
affair Let no expense be spared to sustain
my arrangements and management" Mr.
McAllister was right. The great problem
was the champagne. And we are sorry to
say that the committee did not solve it, and
precisely what Mr.. McAllister anticipated
happened. The beauty, the magnificence
and the decorum of the great affair were
ruined, for, il reports are true, the scenes
enacted on the ball room floor and in the
supper room were of most disgraceful
character. Whether Mr.. McAllister would
have managed the champagne any better is
doubtful. for champagne is a very difficult
thing to manage, but the bad management
Of 1t by the committee that deposed him
gives him good opportunity to pay off the
grudge he owes them and he would need be
little more or little less than human not to
avail himself of IL.

time, took place here Saturday afternoon
and places the hero of the affair among those
who deserve to be remembered for acts of
humanity and perilling their own lives to

Burke, about nine years old, who lives on or
near Washington street, was engaged In
picking up drift wood in the Penobscot river
near the Bucksport railroad bridge. By
some mischance be fell into the river and
was almost certain death. Mr.. Charles E.

boy to catch hold of, but the swift current

Robert Barry passing. on his way home, he
called to him, and the latter at once ran to
the river, jumped in ard seized the boy, hold

fierce current, and together they drifted
down the stream. Mr.. Lunt ran 60 scow

is probably intended to punish bribery, as

The most effective argument made against
prohibition In the Massachusetts campaign
was the difficulty of its enforcement in large
and populous places, like Boston. 1t cannot
be denied that there is a good deal of force
In that argument in state like Massachu-
sets, full of large cities. Expert.
enca in this State has shown that
while the prohibitory law can be
strictly enforced in the small towns
and villages, in the cities its enforcement
is certain to be far less efficient, in some
Of them amounting to almost nothing.
Massachusetts, partly for this reason rejected
prohibition and accepted high license We
shall soon see whether it is not just as diff
cult to enforce high license in Boston as 1t
would have been prohibition. We shall see
whether the 1900 liquor dealers who were de-
MED licenses viii resign themselves to the
decree of the municipal authorities or will
continue their business surreptitiously, Just

Maud s., 2.0Sl, has long been queen of the
turf, out, judging from the present outlook,
IL VIII not be surprising if some other horse
merits the distinction of the fastest horse in
tne world before snow flies next fall. There
is Guy, with a record of 2.12, which it Is
proposed to make him lower the coming sea
son. de may be regarded as a dangerous
one. Then the talk about what Susie S. is
going to do this season has already begun
again. When this FLY made a three-year
OLD record of 2.20 in 1887, it was predicted
that as four-year-old, she would lower the
record Of ZIG, set by Manzanita for trotters
OF that age, but the best that Susie S. could
DO was 2.lS. Now it is announced that she
can trot half a mile in minute, and that
she will surely beat the 2OS2 of Maud S.
There are many other horses that have very
low records now, and they may startle the
world before their season is over.
1t is settled that as Mr.. w. j.. Gordon's
health is no better, all his horses will be sold
