ANCIENT ROME REDIvIvus.


The spectacle that was presented at
the Coney Island Aih letic club last
night was one to make considerate
men think for q time that the wheels
OF civilization have been turned back
n few hundred years and we are again
face to face with the gladiatorial arena
which fllled the savage.eouled Romans
with delight. In the name OF "sport"
n few thousand men assemble Mt that
well.known resort and pay exoroitan1
prices for the privilege OF witnessing
one OF th. bloodiest, most brutal and
BLACKBOARD exhibitions OF modern
times, and the law not only does not
interfere with the disgusting business
but actually licenses 1t. The sensation
impaired by reading the details Ia
emphasized by the anpouncementthM
the "smell OF warm, fresh b God" at the
end Of the first round set the audience
wild with dellght--Just as II used TO
the patricians who witnessed the
stru ggle between the gladiatore

who could scarcely contain
themselves when at last enc OF the
combatapts, drunk with wounds,
staggered aud fell to the CORY ground

scenes to stir g cultivated man TO bis
depths! Aud the fact that the smell OF
human blood has still the old-time
stimulation for those whogo where such
efiluvium ami the cause OF II are
abundant, that they do not turn from u
in dismsy but lipger for more aud

ment we have made Ia after all, In the
absence OF restraint, the morest fic'
tion. Given the same oppor unitics
that the auolsnts had, and how long
would It be before we would DO reading
notices OF "fghts TO finish" In which
one or both OF the contestants were
slaughtered In the ring and expired In
q pool Of blood! Az matter Of fact,

A Letter from Captain Kair of the Alice

A Letter from Captain Kair of the Alice.
Yesterday Messrs j. S. Winslow 6
Co. received letter from Captain W. G.
Kair of the bark Alice, which has at last
arrived at Baltimore from Punta Gorda,
Fla, after stormy and unlucky voy-
age. The Alice got into port with four
sails lost or split and leaking about 1000
strokes per hour. The British steamer
Northgate furnished Captain Kair, al
though he was not actually out of pro-
visions, but feared that he might be be-
fore he should be able to work into
port. The hardest gales were expe-
rienced on November 29th and 3Oth,
when the Alice was about so miles Oft
Hatteras. The Alice was blown off to
and across the Gulf Stream. Nowhere
in his letter does Captain Kair mention
having met the steamer Bermuda OF hav-
ing been refused provisions by her cap
tain or by anyone else.

THE OCEAN HOUSE BURNED.
n Long Time Hostelry Wiped Out BY
Fire.

Yesterday morning, about $50 clock,
flames broke out in the Ocean House,
Cape Elizabeth. The lessee, Mr.. Clayton
j. Dresser, and his wife, were in Boston,
and the only occupant of the building
was the housekeeper, who WAS asleep III
her room. The fire caught about the
stove funnel in the kitchen. The smoke
was so dense that the housekeeper was
nearly suffocated before she realized her
position and succ eeded in making her
escape. AS it was she was somewhat
scorched.
The fire made great blaze and the oc-
cupants of the farm houses in the vicinity
rushed to the rescue, but there were no
means of extinguishing the flames and
the main building had to go. The Life
Saving Station crew did. good service.
With their help and that of the neighbors
the carriage house, stables and billiard
room were saved.
The house was owned by Mrs. Mary f.
Nichols of Natick, Mass. When the late
Col Nichols bought the property some
:
years ago, Mr.. Seth L. Larrabee, who is
Mrs. Nichols's agent, says he expended
SIS, 500 and then laid out in cottages and
improvements about $4,000 more. i
will be remembered that before Col.
Nichols's death his own elegant cottage
connected with the house was burned,
The ocean house proper was large
three story building, with half dormer
story above the other three. It has been
popular seaside hotel for many years.
It was insured for $4,000 with Palmer &
Anderson, $1,000 each in the Phoenix,
Orient, Connecticut Spring Garden and
First National companies. There was
| $4,000 insurance on the furniture with H.
A. Harmon.

A Rifled Pocketbook.

Yesterday forenoon. a well dressed
woman walked past West & Calder
woods, and as she passed threw lady
pocketbook into the yard and then hur-
ried away. The pocketbook was sent to
the station, where it was found to con
tain counterfeit half dollar, a railroad
ticket and some papers. One of the cho-
rus girls in the 1902 company recognized
the pocketbook as hers, which she had
left last night in her room at the Durant
House, with 81 in money in it.

The recent fall of snow made excellent
sleighing Thursday and yesterday. The
air was heavy and moist Thursday, so it
was not so pleasant day for riding, but
yesterday the air was clear and crisp, and
no more delightful day could have been
asked for. On both days there was a
sprinkling of good horses on the famous
Portland street speeding course. From 3
to o'clock yesterday afternoon large
proportion of the best driving horses
in the city were on Portland street, where
the admirable sleighing gave fine OPP
portunity for showing speed. Among
the turnouts noticed were Messrs. Ira
Woodbury., with the handsome chestnut
gelding Topaz" Peter Nickerson, with
handsome bay PAGER; Stuart Worces-
ter, who drove his family out behind a
flyer; Stephen Murray and Charles j..
Walker; Clinton Baxter, driving four
year-old chestnut gelding, that is, in col
or and form, ono of the handsomest
horses in Portland; DR.. Maxwell, with
speedy little bay horse; Ira Clay, with a
fast black gelding; William Kemp; Pat
rick Lennon, driving an iron gray mare,
one of Glendales colts;C. K. Richards of
Falmouth with Glendale, son of Glen
arm; John Flanagan, with quick
stepping sorrel gelding; Henry Fowler's
handsome black speeder, driven by Har-
ry Fowler, and Fl. Soule, with a beauti-
full and fast -year-old colt, a daugh-
ter of Brilliant, from Knox mother,
and a half sister of Brownie. Mr.. Soule
has lately brought this colt to Portland
from Sidney, where he purchased her.
Comparatively few were out yesterday
in comparison with the throng that will
pass along the street this afternoon, from
to o clock, if it is pleasant and the
sleighing holds good.

A Fine Instrument of World wide Celeb

rity.
Few names are so widely known in the
musical world as that of Blasius, and the
pianos bearing that mark are deservedly
popular all over the world The founder
of this most extensive manufacturing
concern, Charles Blasius, now retired
from active business life, was we'll
known as piano manufacturer in Eu-
rope. He came to America, and in 1855
established himself in business, educat-
ing his sons, Levin and Oscar Blasius,
most thoroughly in the various branches
of piano manufacturing. These gentle
men are acknowledged as leading ex-
perts in this line all over the country,
and the popularity of the Blasius pianos
is universally acceded.
Their new factory covers an area of
five acres. The main building contains
five immense floors, and in this, :nclu-
sive of the drying houses, there is total
floor space of 225, ZOO square feet.
The firm will in a short time be incor-
porated as a company, with a capital of
81, 900, 900, and will be close corpora
ton, every dollar having already been
subscribed. The instrument is steadily
growing in favor as its merits become
better known, and it is justly claimed as
ranking second to none in the world. 1t
possesses all the excellencies claimed for
other pianos, besides many that are pc
culiarly its own, while it is especially
remarkable for volume, purity and
sweetness of tone, delicate and even
touch, light and responsive action, and
for durability of construction, handsome
appearance and elegant and artistic fin
ish.
This is also the oldest agency in the
United States for the Steinway pianos,
the firm having conducted the same for
the last 3S years.-[N. Y. Journal of
Commerce.
