Cup in a Balloon, Bows"

Is the first line of the famous old song
and that is what Manager McCallum pro-
poses shall happen at Peaks Island next
Saturday, if money and perfect arrange
ments can do it. Nh. McCallum of course
felt very badly over the failures of this
week, and resolved to spare no pains or
money to obtain a successful ascension
and leap that would repay people for
their disappointment of the past week.
After a great deal of work and at a large
expense, Mons. Don Carlo, the greatest
living aeronaut, has been secured to
make an ascent and leap at D. m. next
Saturday afternoon. Don Carlo never
makes failure, and it was resolved to
give the people the best to repay them
for the accidents that have attended the
balloon ascensions. Don Carlo will ar
rive today. Everything will be put in
readiness for the ascent, which will take
place at the close of the matinee tomor-
row. Don't miss it.

The new comet is visible to the naked
eye, but has hardly assumed. as yet SUI
ficient distinetness to become easily dis
cernible.
This diagram shows it's position rough
ly for few successive evenings, but as
its motion is quite rapid, it will be found
at given observation some distance
from where it was "a hours previous.
The two stars in ''the dipper'' which
are the farthest from the handle point to
the North star, and are known as 'sthe
pointers"
Now, if anyone will imagine diagonal
line to be drawn through the lower one
of the pointers from the star opposite
to it in the body of ''the dipper," and
continue this diagonal downward for
about one and one-half times its length,
he will come to a bright star forming the
apex of an isosceles triangle, of which
the base is formed by two bright stars a
few degrees below it; to the left of these
at distances about as indicated in the di-
agram, will be found the successive posi-
lions of the comet, the last of which in

Alleged Cruelty.

Mr.. Perry, tile cruelty agent, says that
the recent case of alleged cruelty to a
horse in York county has given him a
great deal of work. A Professor Luce
undertook to break vicious horse, and
used means and appliances which the So
ciety claimed were cruel. The case was
before Judge Burbank, who held the
man for cruelty. He has now appealed
to the Supreme Judicial Court, and the
case will come up at the next term of
that court at Alfred. EM9

FAILED OF HIS OBJECT.
"A Forged Telegram Sent to Pitcher Morse
of the Dovers.

Yesterday morning Manager Clarity
received a letter from Pitcher Morse OF
the Dovers saying that he had received
MI. Garrity's telegram and wouid oe
pleased to come to Portland provided
his release could be obtained from Mana
ger Leonard. Mr.. Clarity had sent no
telegram to Morse. He ascertalned that
the telegram had been filed at the Union
Station by man, who paid for it, and
then went away on the Boston train.
Mr.. Garrity's name was signed to the
telegram, but it was a forgery.
1t was some time before MI. Clarity
could imagine what object anyone could
have in doing such an act, but he now
suspects that it was the man from Prov
idence who induced Rogers to desert the
Portlands, and that his object was to
create i'll feeling between Manager Leon
ard and the Portlands. However, il that
was the case, the object has been defeat
ed, for Mr.. Clarity called up Manager
Leonard lJ telephone at Lewiston yes
terday, and fully explained matters to
him. An investigation will be made, and
efforts made to trace the forger.

Summer Travel to Maine This Year

Landlord Kicker of the Poland Spring
House, was in the city yesterday. He said
that the hotel has now 1926 guests, and
will be full the season through. Never
theless the tide of summer travel in
Maine does not seem equal to that of
other years. The class of travellers who
come to Poland will be likely to visit
Maine as usual this season; but those
people who have two or three weeks for
their outing will be likely to take their
time for the fair instead of coming to
Maine.
