cIark's Excursion to Long island.

short time ago Mr.. Ira F. Clark, the we'll
known clothing dealer, announced that he
would tender the poor children of the city
an excursion. Long Island was selected as
the place where the participants in the
event could have good time. !Mr. Clark is
sued over three thousand yellow tickets.
Rev. S. F. Pearson of the Gospel Mission
was the manager of the affair. The excur-
sion took place yesterday and was big sue
cess, and Mr.. Clark deserves hearty COM
mendation from all our people for giving so
many days outing Some idea of the size
of his undertaking. can be gained from the
fact that not less than 270O people went down
on the Casco Bay boats, and fully three
fifths of them were children. A large num-
Der of the children formed in line at the
Gospel Mission and marched to the wharf
headed by the American Cadet band. At
the wharf crowds OF, larger children and
their parents were In waiting. The Casco
Bay line took them all down without con-
fusion and brought them back in the same
efficient way.
There were games of football and baseball
at the island, concert by the band, sack and
potatoe races. Ia the sack races the first
prize was pair of gold sleeve buttons, the
second prize, a pair Of suspenders and the
third prize, a neck tie. E. Webster won
first prize, Thomas WEIGH second, Joe War
ner third. In the potatoe races the first
prize. an outing shirt, was won by E. Web
ster. second bat by A. Webster, and third,
silk handkerchief by Joe Warner.
At 3p. m. Messrs. Masten and Wells of
Boston, were to give the most elaborate dis
play Of day fireworks ever presented in
Maine, consisting in part of grotesgue fig
ures Of men, women, animals, birds, fishes,
bon-bon and candy shells. bird flights and
other devices. The firm also contributed a
large number of hot air balloons of assorted
devices. At the close of the FIREWORKS an
other band concert was In order. The young
people evidently enjoyed everything provid-
ed for their amusement. The boys had a
good dinner and come home late. The only
accident was to Mr.. Charles Martin, who
superintended the fireworks, and by the pre-
mature explosion of the mortar was slightly
burned In the face, and had his eyebrows
singed. Mr.. Pearson proved an admirable
manager of the excursion

schooner Bertha V. about a year ago. In
the Municipal Court Thursday, Mr.. Miller
OF Falmouth Foreside. testified that he sold
the boat In question to Captain Greenleaf
for 81. He (Miller) purchased it of cap
tain of small steamer who picked it up
adrift. Mr.. Kimball of Falmouth Foreside
testified that he made the trade between
Captain Greenleaf and Mr. Miller. Captain
Greenleaf told his own story, which showed
considerable hardship. He said that after
he was arrested he wasn't allowed to send
word to his wife to let her know where he
was, nor to make arrangements for securing
his schooner, that Sheriff Webb, after he
got to the jail. took pity on him and sent to
his friends and by this means he managed to
notify his friends and get the evidence to
prove his innocence. There were numerous
other witnesses present, but the Judge said
their testimony was not necessary as the evil
dence was sufficient to prove Captain Green
leafs innocence and he ordered him dis
charged,

Goods in Original Packages

The decision Of the Supreme
Court of the United States regard
ing the sale Of liquor in original
packages in States having prohibi-
tion laws has awakened considerable
interest among produce dealers who
oppose the law of Pennsylvania
which prohibits the manufacture,
sale and use of oleomargarine.
They argue that if law prohibit
ing the sale Of liquor in packages
purchased in another State is un-
constitutional, that the oleomarga-
rine law is unconstitutional for the
som, reason. The constitutionality
of the Pennsylvania statute regard
ing uleomargarine was confirmed
by the supreme Court. A lawyer
who argued the case said that that
point was fully established. but that
