every cycler's pocket; good rider on a poor
wheel will do better work than poor rider
on good wheel. But there will be some
good riders mounted on good wheels at the
bicycle races at Woodfords Park on Labor
Day, and consequently there will be some
interesting races Mr.. II. w. McCausland,
416 Congress street, Is receiving the entries.
Perhaps there will he some Massachusetts,
flyers down to compete In the open races.
The York County Wheelmen have entered
their team for the team race, and of course
the two Portland clubs will be represented
in that race. If four or more clubs enter, two
men will have to constitute each clubs team
on account Of the limited space on the track
II there are less than four entries. each team
will consist of three man.

years superintendent Of the Portland Com
pany' mas re-entered the service Of the COM

Chap. 149, r. S., the town Of Deering at It's
| last meeting voted that the tax list be COM
mitted to the collector on or before June !,

after the necessary attachments have been
Deen made, the selectmen and treasurer shall

Mr.. Bakers introduction contains this
charming little poem called "Flotsam;"
Along Isle Mackworth's sunllt shores;
Its sea lapped marge of rock and sand;
The booming tide filings far and wide
Its hotsam reft from reef and strand
A filmy sponge, feathery dulce,
Tinted with hues Of sun and sky;
Nursed on the keys of torrid seas,
Here In the 0oze half buried lie.
A reed which tossed its amberous plumes
Exultant to the tropic blast;
The seryiie slave OF wind and wave,
On this bare ledge finds rest at last.
And here, foam-lipped wave hath tossed
hempen strand, q bit of spar;
Shared In mass OF ocean grass,
The northern gales have blown them far.
A thousand things the livelong day
Drift In upon the pulsing tide;
whence none may guess, nor why, unless
Some hidden hand their course may guide
And children playing on the strand,
List to the stories they reveal;
OF isles of ease, OF stormy seas,
OF wreck and loss, of woe and veal.
