The Yacht Cruise.

Commodore Bray expressed himself as
much pleased with the cruise of the Port
land Yacht club, after the return of the
feet yesterday afternoon, but he admitted
that the sea was rough, Tuesday very bad
day, and that the ''fog was as thick as
mud
There were few incidents on the down.
ward trip. The Lena was the first to enter
Christmas Cove. The run from Christmas to
Mackerel Cove was made under difficulties.
The fog was very thick, and the yachts
sought and found shelter as best they could.
Some reached the cove, others made Booth
bay, one ran into Herman's harbor, and at
least one other was outside, and the yachts
men were forced to do the best they could
under the circumstances. They did not
enjoy being fog bound, but then there were
some who did not enjoy the pitching of
what was in reality very nasty sea- as
one yachtsman termed it.
The run from Hamilton's point, Great
Chebeague, was the only portion of the
cruise when the yachts were timed. A good
start was made, and the yachts passed the
Maitland in the following order: Cat boat
Beatrice, Gwendolin, Chaos, Clarence;
schooner yachts Beatrice, Captain Hamlen,
Lena and Starlight. Despite the bad
weather, and other unpleasant features
naturally attending 1T, the cruise was en-
joyable, and will long be remembered by
those who took part in it,

A BlLLY-GOAT TEAM.
1t Caused Runaway Whereby Mr.. E. N.
Leighton was Thrown Out-Rumor About
Mr.. James Cunningham.

A runaway on the Cape Shore road yester-
day forenoon created considerable interest
in the city and set afioat variety of
rumors to the effect that Mr.. James Cum
bingham, the well known builder, had been
injured or even killed. This rumor probably
arose from the fact that Mr.. Cunningham
was in that locality at that time, and gave
assistance to the one who was hurt.
This was Mr.. Ezekiel N. Leig hton, of the
lumber firm of Legrow Brothers. He was
driving out on the Cape road yesterday
afternoon with another gentleman, and
had gotten about two miles beyond Cape
Cottage when he met with disaster.
The cause of this disaster was such as
ought to have disturbed the ways of no
sensible horse.
Mr.. Jordan, the Portland cooper, lives on
this portion of the Cape, and: his son re
joices in the possession of a billy goat,
which draws his owner in little cart. The
youthful Jordan was coming towards Port
and in his billy goat teamsswhen he met Mr..
Leighton's team
The horse lost his head completely at the
sight of the Lilly goat team. turned short
about in the road, and having thrown the
occupants of the carriage out. fed at head
long speed towards Portland. For two miles
the frightened horse dashed along, smash
ing the carriage and leaving portions of it
by the way, until, near Cape Cottage, it was
stopped.
Mr.. leighton had been considerably
scratched and stunned by the mishap; and
Mr.. James Cunningham, happening to come
along, took him in and carried him to Bluff
Cottage, where party We're taking an
outing.
Some Portland people who in driving in
had met Mr.. Cunningham and had shortly
after been passed by the flying horse, in
ferred that he had been thrown out.

OLD ACQUAiNTANCES.
Anarchist, While Edward I'll. Chase is a
Literary Man.

On his recent visit to the State prison at
Thomaston, City Marshal Trickey saw
several old acquaintance Of the Portland
police.
Fred Irving, the young. but desperate
burglar who was captured by officer Firth
after an exciting exchange of pistol shots,
is at the prison doing his sentence of twenty
years. The prison authorities say that he
has of late developed into an anarchist of
the most violent type, and busies himself
all he can in maintaining and spreading
anarchistic ideas. Otherwise than this
Irving is an exemplary prisoner.
Edward 81. .Chase, the young man who
shot Miss Ida NJ Stevens on st. John street
on Fast Day, 1888, is the most cultivated and
quiet man in the prison. He makes COM
panions of books and pictures. and leads a
literary life to as great an extent as the
prison regimen will allow. HE is subject,
however. to severe epileptic fits, which
render special precautions necessary in his
case. He is in prison for life.

DEERING.
vandals Rob Beautiful Tulip Bed.

A particularly exasperating piece of van
dalism was perpetrated some time Tuesday
night on the grounds of Mr.. George H,
Thomson, who lives at No. "a Woodfords
street, Deering. Mr.. Thomson has on his
lawn tulip bed on which he has bestowed
much care, and in which he took great
pride. The tulips were very Choice varie-
ty; and were repaying his care with from
thirty to forty most beautiful blossoms,
nearly all double.
Some time Tuesday night vandal came
and took every flower, but one single
blossom, which had been the feeblest of the
glorious sisterhood. The appearance of the
stems indicated that the thief was an expert
in the use of flowers, as all the stems seem
to have been snapped off at about the
length proper to admit of the blossoms be-
ing MADE into wreath
1t seems most probable that the flowers
were stolen to sell, as it does not seem
probable that anyone would steal flowers

A PECULIAR PASSPORT.
Free Ride on the Flying Horses-Yankee
Enterprise in Germany.

On his bicycle tour to Europe, Mr.. T. A..
Elwell takes with him peculiar passport.
A short time ago he was astonished by re-
ceiving a pasteboard card, whereon was
written the following legend:
Dear John:-Pass F. A. Elwell, of
America. to free rides. He is an old friend
of mine. JAMES S. WILKINSON.
Accompanying this card was letter from
Mr.. Wilkinson of Baltimore, who was a
member of Mr.. Elwell's European tour in
1890. He began his explanation by saying
that his trip in Europe had opened his eyes
to the fact that people on the Continent are
very fond of the pastime of riding upon
'merry-go-rounds,'' or flying horses. He
had recently invented and patented ball
bearing device that, in his opinion, improves
the flying horses' mechanism a very great
deal. Thereupon he got another Baltimore
man interested in the matter and together
they raised the money to set up flying
horses in the grounds of the Worlds Expo
sition at Antwerp that opened May first.
The directors of the fair were astonished
at receiving this application from Mr..
Wilkinson's partner who went over and
managed the matter. They were still more
astonished at offer to pay for the priv
lege. But the two Yankees now control all
the flying horses in the great fair, and
Mr.. Elwell's peculiar passport gives him the
privilege of riding on any or all of them as
long as he wants to, which will no doubt
prove to be a very equitable contrast after
the long ride on the flying bicycle.
Undoubtedly this venture of the two
Baltimore men will prove financially sue
cessful, because this Els a favoritess.. amuse-
ment in Europe and the smallest fair in
the smallest villages has it's merry go-round,
as surely as it's wine and beer.

Great Diamond Island.

A party of young Westbrook people
visited friends on Great Diamond Island

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Comment Upon 1t from a High Au-
thority.

The following letter explains itself and is
significant. 1t was recently received by the
firm of Dow & Pinkham. 1t reads as follows:
Dear Sirs:--A recent REORGANIZATION by
the National Board of Inspectors of the Fire
Departments has shown that Portland's
general equipment. is of excellent character
There is one point, however, which we
trust, in connection with other brother
agents in Portlands you will use your fullest
Influence in attempting to enforce, and that
is the illumination of all politics from the
fire department, and an effort made to
prevent the City Council from feeling that
the position of Chief is constantly subject
to change of administrations and defendent
very largely upon the will of the new adj
ministration. From your experience in the
business. a mistake of this Kind must be
apparent to you. and any effort that Gamble
brought about to make the position a per-
manent one, will inure largely to the sue
cess of the fire department.
Yours truly,
J. F. DUDLEY, Vice President.
Mr.. Dudley is vice president of the Aetna
Insurance Company of Hartford.

The County Fair.


Twice more, and for the last times,
will the county Fairn be the source
of much amusement for our play-goers.
Monday and Tuesday evenings of next
week will mark it's last performances
at Portland Theatre and from the man
ner in which the advance sale opened
yesterday, the indications are that its
farewell visit will be as prosperous as
was it's first one, two years ago. The
remarka BILE success Of this play is I'M
dou btedly due in great measure to the
natural manner in which it's author
has depicted New England rural life

familiar to all of us, and to the tact
that it appeals to all, no matter of

Remarkable Fall OF a Young Woman
From a Window.
Timber in Her Descent. and is Apparent

She Broke Clothes Line and Piece of
Timber in Her Descent. and is Apparent
1y Uninjured.
A remarkable accident happened Tuesday
evening to young woman who lives at No.
S3 Federal street. She is bout rs years of
age, and is the daug hter of Mr.. Charles j.
Butler, who lives in the same house.
She was sitting at the attic, window when
the accident occurred. The seat of the
chair was only an inch OF two lower than
the sill of the window, leaving very good
place for one to fall out when the window
was open. That night the window was open
at the very time the young woman was
taken with what she describes as a dizzy
spell.
Just how it happened she deos not know,
but she fell out of the window and plunged
headlong to the ground, thirty feet below.
That sne was not killed instantly is
probably que to tic presence or Got mes
line which she struck on her way down.
This line was broken, and also a piece of
timber 3x4 inches in size which supported
it.
AS soon as the young woman was picked
up, DR.. John I. Palmer was sent for. He
found her bleeding at the mouth and nose,
but was able to make her quite comfortable.

no results whatever fromsher most remark
