There will be a crowded and enthusiastic
audience gathered in City Hall Wednesday
evening to see the champions drill. Military

the PORTLAND COMPANY.
The Transfer Made and important
Results Expected.

Some time ago the PRESS stated that the
Portland Company would soon change hands
and be owned by syndicate of Portland gen
tlemen, among whom was Mr.. Charles R.
Milliken, the manager of the Rolling Mills.
The transfer has taken place and these are
the new company:
Charles r. Millken, Byron u. Yerrill, George S.
Hunt, w. III. Milliken, W. +. Milliken; w. /. Put
nam. Elias Thomas, Orville ID. Baker, W. s. Dana,
d. W.. Kensell, Charles S. Fobes and others.
The new syndicate purchased at par, pur-
shasers to receive the May dividend. This is
the condition of the company:
Quick assets. $685., 600
Lla0llltleS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. bO,OOU
Net surplus. $215,0 900
The plant represents 1874 shares capital
stock outstanding
1t is thought the works will be removed to
Ligonia and be established on the land ad-
joining the Rolling Mills, and this step will
leave vacant large portion of the most val
liable water front of the city, especially
adapted for the ocean steamer traffic, and for
the Canadian Pacifc's ocean business, pro-
vided that company decides upon Portland
as her Atlantic port. Her lines of rail need
not 60 over Commercial street, if not deemed
advisable, but can come over the back side
of the city via the marginal way.
