We left the Yacht Club Sunday night
at Boothbay. Monday morning the day
broke bright and clear and at o'clock
the starting gun from the Maitland was
fired. and the yachts got under way and
made sail for Mackerel Cove. After
leaving the harbor the wind veered to
southeast with indications of fog which
held off. The Maitland arrived at the
Cove at 1.37 p. m. followed by the fleet.
1t was a whole sail breeze all the way up.
After arrival at this Cove there was din
ner, then visiting and fireworks.
Yesterday morning was superb and
after breakfast there was grand recep-
ton on the Maitland. At 10 a. m. the
fleet started for Peaks Island, arriving
at the island between IL and O'clock,
and then, forming column, and preceded
by the Maitland, came up the harbor in
great shape. Off Browns wharf the
fleet passed the Commodore and saluted
and the salute was returned.
This was the largest attended and
most enjoyable cruise had for years, the
weather was good and the members are
delighted.

Women Who Want to Act.


Cali sorts Of people want to go on the
STAGE" said the manager Of dramatic
agency the other day. Applicants
come from every walk in life. The lady
in society and the woman who sells pins
and needles behind the counter think
they are born to be actresses. They
waste their time trying to get into the
profession, but not until too late do they
realize that their vocation is not the
stage and that they are then unfit for
anything else. The reason is, fancy,
that many women are simply crazy for
novelty, excitement and dress. They
cannot resist the opportunities which
the stage offers for satisfying their crav-
ing, and If they can do nothing better
will 60 on as ballet girls.
A great many people come in here
every day who are to write q symphony
but they linger around the agencies and
pick up odd jobs now and then. A mana
ger perhaps cannot afford to pay the
salary an experienced actress would de-
mand, and for some performances is
willing to accept the services oean anna
teur. Three women apply for position
to one man" Music and Drama.

How the 1Ioslems Pray.

The true Mohammedan is enjoined to
prayer five times a day-namely, first in
the morning before sunrise, at noon, in
the afternoon before sunset, in the even
ing between sunset and dark, and be-
tween twilight and the first watch, be-
ing the vesper prayer. A sixth prayer
is volunteered by many between the first
watch Of the night and the dawn of day.
These prayers are simply repetitions Of
the laudatory ejaculation, s'God is
greatp "God is powerfull' "God is all
POWERFUL and are counted by the scru-
pulous on string Of beads. They may be
performed at the mosque or any clean
place.
During prayer the eyes are turned to
the Kebla or point Of the heavens in the
direction Of Mecca, which is indicated in
every mosque by niche called Mehrab,
and externally by the position of min
arets and doors. Even the posture dur
ing prayer is prescribed. The most sol
emn alteration is bowling the forehead to
the ground. Women are to fold their
hands on their bosoms and not to make
such profound obeisance as the men.
They are to pray gently and not to &C
company the men to the mosque. In
addressing God worshipers are to be
humble, putting aside jewels and costly
apparel. Brooklyn Eagle.

A KIDNAPPING CASE.
Ellen Greedy Takes Her Child from St.
Eiizabe School.

Ellen Greedy, woman about As years
of age, will be remembered as the woman
who was found a long time ago in door
way on Exchange street with her head
fractured. 1t was thought to be case
of attempt at murder, as the woman
stated, after her consciousness returned
at the hospital, that she and a man had
met on the evening IN question, got to
drinking and that the man struck her
over the head with bottle. The man
was arrested and on trial in court the
Greedy woman declared she couldn't
identify him and the man was dis
charged.
In the meantime the woman's children
had come into the charge of the sisters
of the st. Elizabeth Orphan Asylum on
High street. They were aboy and two
girls. Yesterday the Greedy woman
came to Portland and went to the asy-
lum. There she watched her chance and
took her little daughter Maggie, broke
out of window and made off with the
child. Special Officer Pallet was notified
and succeeded in arres ting the woman,
and took woman and child to the station.
There Father McDonough and the Off
GERS talked with her, and on promise that
she would not trouble the children again
unless by permission from Father Nc
Donough, and would take the boat for
Boston last night, she was released.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Bohemian Girl.

The ever-familiar Bohemian Grip
was the attraction at Portland Theatre
last evening. Miss Carvell and company
gave all the favorite airs, and it was no.
ticeable how popular 'The Heart Bowed
Down. ssThen You'll Remember Me, .
Il Dreamt that / Dwelt,'' and others,
still continue. The company will now
go to the provinces.
The Crust of Society.
Manager John Stetson's company of
players from the Globe Theatre, Boston,
in the original English version of Dumas
strong play, the ''Crust of Society,"" will
be the attraction at the Portland Theatre
for three nights and Saturday matinee,
commencing on Thursday evening, June
list. The plot deals with a phase of life
with which we are all familiar, and in
which we are always interested. The
scheming of woman to gain high So
cial position in the fashionable set,
through any sacrifice on her part, is
truthfully chronicled, and when through
marriage with an ardent young army
officer she is about to accomplish her
aim, her true character is divulged by a
shrewd device. The play is in the hands
OF an exceptionally strong company.

INTERCOLLEGIATE TENNIS.
Beginning of the Tournament in Portland
Some Veterans of Previous Trials Seen
Here.

Play in the second annual Inter-colle-
giate Tennis Tournament of the Maine
colleges commenced yesterday afternoon
on the West street grounds. The open
ing match was between Dana, the Bow
doin champion, and Stimson of Colby,
and was full of brilliant strokes though
there were not many long rallies. Both
men depended largely on strokes to the
the back line, but Dana won by playing
the steadier game. With the score to
2 against him in the first set Stimson
braced and took three straight games
but lost the next two and the set.
The second set went to Dana easily, 6to
1. The score:

The second match of the afternoon be-
tween Perkins of Colby, and Pierce of
Bowdoin, was hotly contested from start
to finish, and the final result was in
doubt to the very last. Both men
played rather carefully and long rallies
were frequent. Perkins played much of
the time at the net and placed we'll
though slowly on the side lines, while
Pierce kept near the circle Of the court
and depended on passing his opponent.
After each man had taken a set, to 4,
Perkins improved noticeably in his play
and soon led the Bowdoin man to
and seemed sure winner, but Pierce,
by series of swift drives, scored four
games in succession, winning the set and
match

singles in the afternoon.
About half the men in the tournament
played in last years games in which
Howard of Bates. was the championship
in singles and Pierce and Pickard of
Bowdoin in doubles. Howard has grad
uated but the Bowdoin boys are again n
the race. Dana, Bowdoin, '94. is looked
upon by many as the probable winner
of the tournament. Owen, Moore & Co.
have generously presented one of their
best rachets to be used as a prize.
Wright e. Ditson and Partridge & Co. of
Boston, have also offered rachets to the
winners

A Man Behind Him.

He was going home to his wife and
family. It was growing dark. His
road from the station was lonely one,
and he was getting along as fast as he
could, when he suddenly suspected
that man behind him was following
him purposely. The faster he went,
the faster the man went, until they
came to churchyard. Nov, he said
to himself, "Pll find out if he's after me, ="
and he entered the churchyard. The
man followed him. Vague visions Of
revolvers and garroters grew upon him.
He made detour of splendid mauso-
leum. Still the man was after him,
round and round. At last he turned
and faced the fellow, and asked,
What the dickens do you want? What
are you following mo forP"
We'll, sir, do you always go home
like this? am going up to Mr.. Fitz-

porter at the station told me that If Id
follow you should find the place, as
you live next door. Are you going
