All about Portland and it's Surroundings
with complete Map of the Bay and
Islands, July 21st, 1892.

After some little waiting on the island
during which time the platform between
the dance hall and dining hall caved in,
badly frightening several people but for
tunately injuring no one, the company
was seated at the tables and did justice
to an excellent shore dinner topped off
by ice cream.
Then came the toasts, Mr.. J. B. Totten
of Portland acting as POSTMASTER, and
many many were the eloquent words of
welcome and by fervent express
sions of gratitude of those who respond
to the toasts:
The Slate of Maine
and rivers, she invites the people OF the whole
country to make it their home.
Hon. M. P. Frank responded. He
said:
If we judge state by it's distinguished
men then certainly the State of Maine
stands at the head. If you look to the
legislature there was the late Hon. Ma
than Clifford, justice of the Supreme
Court. If you look for a statesman you
have one in the name of Hon. Hannibal
Hamlin who upheld Lincoln so strongly
tn the dark war times.
We also claim Blaine [applause] the
upholder of Garfield.
1t is good state to be born in, and,
Judging from this assembly good one
to return to.

poses Tapplause] and we realize $75, 900
from its sale for medical purposes only.

its membership increase until every druggist is
included in its ranks.
