Sons Of the Revolution.

The meeting of the Sons of the Revolution
held Saturday afternoon In the library room
OF the Maine Historical Society, Baxter
Building, adjourned without effecting a per.
manent organization, owing to delay on the
part "f many in obtaining proof of their
eligibility 70 belong to such an organiza.
tion.
Hon. Warren 81. vinton, the chairman,
called the meeting to order shortly after z
o'clock, and after the records of the last
meeting were read by the secretary. Rev.
Henry S. Burrage, lit was announced that
the constitution and bylaws as presented
two weeks ago had been printed agreeablv
to the vote taken at that time.
The report of the committee was accented
and the bylaws were adopted section BY sec
ton with few slight amendments to the
printed.

nominations, made partial report, and the
committee were given further time, the
names of Col. John NJ. Adams and Brown
Thurston, Esq, being added to their number
by vote.

received the petitions of about 100 persons.
many of which he had returned for correc'
ton or amendment. He intended to visit
Boston the coming week, and would call on

WEsTsRooK ELECTION.
The Republicans Get the best OF
ron. Leander Valentine Elected
Mayor.

Inc hrst municipal election of the city of
WestDrook held Saturday proved one of the
closest fights on record, the mayoralty cam
didate elected winning by only three votes.
Great Interest was taken In the election
throughout and heavy vote was cast. The
great mass Of voters who were required to
vote at Odd Fellows Hall taxed the capacity
OF the hall. Here the Democratic candidate
for mayor presided as warden. Both parties
were well organized and worked hard, eyery-
thing passing off tremendously. The total
number Of votes cast was 1927, the largest
number ever cast in Westbrook. Following
is the result:
Mayor--Hon. Leander Valentine. RED.

Cycling Talk.

The pictures Of Swiss roads and scenery
shown at Raxter Hall last Friday evening by
Mr.. James E. Wilkinson probably gave as
tne an idea that picturesque republic as any
ever exhibited in this city. The roads con-
structed by Napoleon over the mountain
passes are triumphs of engineering; no mat
ter how abrupt may be the mountain over
which the route leads, the grade Of the high
way continues easy and gradual, about like
State street leading up from Deering park;
but If such an incline as that happens to be
IL miles in length, as is one of the hardest
climbs in Switzerl and, the journey naturally
becomes mon0tonous and wearisome before
the summit is reached. Kodak pictures Of all
the important places visited were thrown
upon the screen. Mr.. Wilkinson made the
mistake of trusting to extemporaneous
speech in describing the pictures.
After the lecture Mr.. F. A. Elwell gave a
reception at his home to Mr.. Wilkinson,
those who had been on previous European
tours being present. 1t was delightful oc.
casion. Pleasant indeed was it for the tour
lists to recall wheeling experiences in fordign
lands.
The annual meeting of the Wheel Club
will be held this evening All departments
are in fourishing condition, and favorable
reports are sure to be presented. Much to
the regret of all members, Mr.. j. @. Stevens

more than five years would have been his

ecuted. 1t is probable there will be few

master, and the presidents Of the Young
Mems Republican and Falmouth clubs, also
of the Turnverein, have accepted invita-
lions to attend, and will probably have a
few words to say; remarks may also be ex-
pected from prominent wheelmen. 1t will
undoubtedly be gala occasion.
Bangor is said to have been selected as the
place for the spring meet of the division on
Memorial Day. There is considerable pro-
testation. many expressing preference for
Belfast, where there is an organized club
anxious to entertain the gathering. In Ban
gor there are only few League members.

attend the supper. Walter Beckett was also
