A Boycott Lifted.

The Chicago & Grand Trunk and the Grand
Trunk railroad Of Canada Thursday lifted
the boycott against the Chicago g. Alton
road. This Is believed by some to be the be-
ginning Of the end. The Grand Trunk sys-
TEN was the last Of the eastern roads to
yield to the pressure of the board of rulings,
having waited until May list to sever its re-
lations with the Alton, while all the other
lines engaged in the boycott took the Alton's
tickets off sale April LIST. 1t was not in a
position to listen indifferently to the threats
of congressional legislation against 1t as a
Canadian competitor of American roads.
The success of the Alton in securing Grand
Army business for itself and the Wabash
road to Detroit, has apparently been an iu-
portant factor in bringing about the result,
The prediction is made that mot a few OF the
Eastern lines will promptly accept the op-
portunity afforded by the Grand Trunk to
abrogate their agreement.

KoTzschMAR HALL.
Mr.. n. n. Jose's New Music Hall
Now Building.

The new music hall, now In process OF
construction by Mr.. 81. N. Jose. opening on
Congress street and Deering place. VIII DC
called Kotzschmar Hall IN honor OF MT
Hermann Kotzschmar, the well known COM
poser ard music teacher of this city. The
honor is certainly a deserved one. There Is
no musician Of note in the state more thor
oughly identified with the progress OF musi-
cal culture in Maine than Mr.. Kotzschmar.
who has almost rounded out a half century
OF service In the cause Of his art among our
people. AS composer, organist and teacher
Mr.. Kotzschmar's reputation extends all
over the country. There are few musical
leaders in the United States who are unac-
quainted with him personally, or his writ
ings. There is no doubt the naming the hall
for Mr.. Kotzschmar will commend itself to
musical people everywhere.
When this hall is completed-which will
probably be In October next-lt will fill a
long needed want in Portland. II will pos.
sess all the modern improvements In heating
and ventilating and will possess upholstered
seats Of most comfortable pattern. The
hall Is intended to supply need of the old
established Rossini Club, which has done so
much to advance and elevate the cause Of
music among us. but the hall is not Intended
for their use alone; 1t will be for rent to all
musical organizations In the city. and will
be cozy place for chamber concerts by
such organizations as the Kueisel Quartette,
Mendelssohn Quintette and other admirable
musical clubs from out of town.
The location of the new hall is very desir-
able. 1t is exactly central, stands close to
the Public Library, and will have an en-
trance from Congress street, aud another for
the performers on Deering place. The audi
forum will be on the ground hoer, and
reached by a short flight of four steps.
There will be 3ls chairs on the ground floor
and $50 in the galleries. although the house
can seat larger audience If desirable.
1t is expected that Mr.. Ira G. Stockbridge,
who is also identified with our best musical
entertainments, will be the general mana
ger. and the hall could not be in better
hands. MIR. Stockbridge is In touch with all
the leading musicians In the public and anna :
teur concert world aud great favorite with
our citizens. Mr.. Jose appears to be deter
mined. as far as he has gone, that every ar
rangement shall be made to make this new
hall most popular Institution.

sunday Concert at sebaeo Lake,

The two concerts to be given at Lake Sc
bago tomorrow morning and afternoon by
Chambers full military band, the finest
band In this section of New England, should
draw two enormous audiences. The pre-
gramme published yesterday is an exception
ally fine one. Mendelssohn's "Wedding
March" has stood the test of many years in
the world of music. and few couples have
been married unless to its well known
strains. Wagner's "Tannhauser March" is
one of the noblest and most elevating of
musical compositions. There are selections
from such charming works as Auber's SRA
Diayoio." Suppe's "fique Dame," Verdps
"rrovature," and Planquette's Normandy
Chimes" Ellenberg's "Idylp' and ,Beyer's
Musicians Reverie" are we'll adapted to
the occasion. The special trains will leave
Union Station at 10a. m. and p. NJ, re-
turning at II N. and 450p. m. Swan the
caterer, will have dinner on the grounds for
those who desire 1t. This is a great oppor-
tunity for lovers of good music.

The Old orchard Campground.

- tUo Qiu OfCnufu SahfS'~
10 The Editor Of the Press:
In simple justice to the Methodist Episco-
pal church the public ought to understand
that this denomination has nothing to do
with the management of the Old Orchard
campground, which is under the control Of
stockholders responsible to no one outside
their own number.
As result of recent agitation in Portland
on Sunday deseci alton criticism assailed the
Methodist Episcopal church on account Of
the Old Orchard campground, which, 1t was
charged. promoted Sabbath Dissertation.
From this attack the Congress street church
sought TO unload its denomination and 10
take stand against all Sunday campmeet-
ings conducted SO as to draw Sabbath ex-
odus from accessible churches.
Hence its protest against the advertise
ment 10 the Portland Daily PRESS OF July
25th.
Criticism has also assailed the Methodist
Episcopal church for attracting its members
TO Old Orchard to be fed on Antinomianlsm,
adyentlsm and heterogeneous set Oh doc
trlneS calculated to have a peinici0us enect
upon the thought and usefulness OF Its mem
bership, as well as weaken their adherence
to Meth0dism. But Meth0dism Is not re-
sDonsible for this damage to the churches
and this official board protests against the
policy that causes 1t.
Instead of proceeding on insufficient in
formation" we knew " bat the committee OF
the association say they did not know, viz /:
who the person was who was advertising
their meetings, and as the same person did
the advertising last year without authority,
yet the committee knew 1t then and allowed
1t we held them responsible this year.
We are glad that the objectionable adVor-
tisement has been removed and Is not likely
to be repeated.
The ex-pastors at Old Orchard were per-
sonally informed that that church was not
referred to, but simply the local churches Of
Portland. but they published after that their
protest as II we meant them.
Yours respe ctfully,

Secretary Of the Official Board Of Congress

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PAVILION THEATRE

The indications are that today's matinee
and evening performances of Lady Audley,
which are the last, will be attended by
crowded houses This play has proved most
satisfactory. The large number OF ladies
and gentlemen who are regular patrons of
this house, say that it is the best piece that
has been put on SO far by Manager Mccall
lum and his popular company. The matt
nees are crowded with ladies and children
and at all of the evening performances la
dies and gentlemen come in large numbers,
so that generally about the time the curtain
rises on the opening scene every seat has
been sold. Tonight is your last chance, and
you had better secure your seats at Stock
bridges.

morous judge, and Mr.. Berry is good as the
doctor. Nelly Barrett finds happy expo
nent in Josie Dewey. Desda Barry makes
hit as Lucretla Smalley and Mollie Wood
is good Indian girl. The piece is capitally
staged. This afternoon and evening afford
the last chances to see the play.
