CUMBERLAND ROWING CLUB.
Honors to the Victorious Portland
Oarsmen.

Portland oarsmen have remarkably good
record, dating from the days of the old Una
Boat Club, composed of some of the first
young men of the city. and the famous sin
gle sculler in his day, Walter Brown, who
settled here when very young man and
made she'll boat building and rowing his
business. Brown organized an eight-oared
crew of the Unas in 1866 and went to Boston
for the 4th of July regatta to meet many OF
the best men and crews in the country. He
first won the single scull race and then took
the stroke oar of the Una crew and they
won. The boys returned with lots OF glory
and pockets full of money, but only to md
their city In ashes, for it was the year OF the
great fire.
The next distinguished Portland oarsman
was M. f. Davis, a scientific race-boat builder
and inventor of appliances for the same In
the way of sliding seats and rowlocks. He
made the worlds record in four-miie race
in Massachusetts. The event had tragic
ending. for his worthy Boston antagonist
was instantly killed by an accident on the
Old Colony Railroad, when returning Ifrom
the race. Then came John Kennedy, Fred
Plaisted and Peter Conley, who achieved a
national reputation. All are living with the
exception of Walter Brown.
A reception and banquet was rendered to
the victorious oarsmsn in the recent
Lawrence regatta at Cumberland Boat
Club house last evening. 1t was very cor
dial, of course, and in the maze OF so odd
boats owned by the club, the banquet hall
was reached. There are many famous boats
in the aggregation, among them the one in
which Davis defeated Raglan.
The fine club house at the foot of State
street was brilliantly illuminated and inside
all was hospitality. A fine shore dinner was
partaken of. The president, Mr.. Haw-
kins presided In a graceful manner, and
number of appropriate after-dinner re-
marks were made.
The prizes won by the members of the
Cumberland club are said to be the most val
liable ever presented to amateurs in New
England. They are certainly very beauti-
full, as the passer may see while they are on
exhibition in the window of Cunningham &
Drisc0ll, Market square.
They are the first prize for intermediate
junior sculls won by A. A. Frates, silver
pitcher. salver, two cups and bowl; the
first prize for junior double sculls, won by
w. S. Merrill and n H. Mccarthy, each ele-
CANT silk banners; first prize for junior four
cared shells. won by T. E. QaInn.L. d. Den
mis-, j. f. Mccarthy and j. II. Cleary, four
massive solid silver inkstands OF rare design.

A fully attended meeting of the Portland
Commercial Association was held yesterday
morning. Ten new members were admitted.
A special committee was appointed. consist
ing of Messrs. George M. Moore, Wyer
Greene and w. A. Ware, to wait on the city
solicitor and assessors and to see what can
be done to secure prohibitive municipal &C
tion in the cases Of itinerant dealers. The
present law which authorizes the assessors
to fix valuation on such stock is not regard
ed as fully covering the point. A license
law similar to the one in force in Hartford
Conn.,. imposing tax of from So to $40. was
thought by the members present as sufficient
to apply to the present case.

The Maine Historical Society's committee
on field day, of which Captain G. L. Nash of
Augusta is member. has endeavored to ar
range for an early excursion to the Kenne-
bee, as proposed by the society at the annual
meeting, but in this busy season Of summer
travel ard excursions on the river and vicin-
ity, 1t is found to be impossible to secure
suitable boat which will answer the require
ments. Very favorable terms can be made
both for boat and hotel rates for September
9th, and it is the decision of the committee
that this is the only practicable plan, of
which notice will be given hereafter.

Fire Department Matters.

Engineer French of Casco 8. is a practical
engine builder. He can take one to pieces
and put 1t together again. The Silsby en-
CINE on the hill has often broken down on
the low levels. Mr.. French's theory was
that the force of the water on the low levels
forced peoples into the running gear and
broke the engine up. He has put in long
stringer with small aperture in place of
the short strlnger with large aperture, and
the other day gave the steamer a 45-minute
trial on Kennebec street, the engine work
ing for all 1t was worth. The new arrange
ment worked to a charm.

signed contract for a complete rebuilding
