ARABIA AND IROQUOIS.
The Rival Bath Ships and Recent
Ocean Race.

Capt. McLoon of Deering in Command of
the Arabia.
Captain McLoon, of Deering, is in
command of the ship Arabia, built at
Bath by Houghton Brothers in 1881.
His family have received word OF re-
cent remarkable ocean race, in which he
and his ship participated. 1t seems that
on March Goth two ships arrived in San
Francisco barber from New York and by
singular coincidence they both left the
Atlantic port on the same day. The
first to get in through the Golden
Gate was the Iroquois, Captain Nichols.
Soon after Captain McLoon's Arabia
doomed up on the horizon.
Both vessels left New York harbor in
tow on the morning of Nov. 26. On that
day they had a gale, and the Iroquois
lost her fore and main topmast heads.
The vessels separated and were apart for
a long time, when suddenly they came
together again. They finally lost each
other off Rio The Arabia crossed the
equator first in the Atlantic. the date
being Dec. 14th. The Iroquois came
bowling along on the 18th. The latter
crossed in longitude 80 deg. 33 min. west,
and the Arabia in 80 deg. min. west.
The Iroquois crossed the equator in the
Pacific on Feb. 9th and the Arabia two
days later.
There has always been a friendly ri
valry between the two great ships, since
they were both built in 1881 in Bath.
The Iroquois was built by Arthur Sewall
& Co. They are of the same tonnage,
1924 tons and about equally fast. The
Arabia left San Francisco, on March 21st
last year for New York, and the Iroquois
followed month later. The passage
of each was 1O6 days. The recent race
occupied 1871 On another occasion the
Arabia left Baltimore for San Francisco
two days in advance of the Iroquois, and
arrived two days in advance of her.
The ships besides being rivals in speed,
are running in rival lines. The Arabia
sails for Grace & Co.. and the 1roquois
for Sutton & Beebe, both San Francisco

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Uncle Toms Cabin.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" is evidently a
dramatic textbook for the youth of the
country. Every few years it puts in an
appearance and tells its tale of the
suffering Of the slave in times before
the war, and as regularly as it appears.
the youth of the city rush to see good
little Eva, and laugh at Topsey. shud-
der with fear when the bloodhounds
track Eliza. and cry at the sufferings Of
good old Uncle Tom. The performances
at Portland theatre Saturday were no
exception to the rule. The merits of
the company are Of little importance;
"the plays the thing" The girls and
boys and their mothers and fathers
packed orchestra, parquet, gallery and
balcony, and many were turned from the
doors.
For many weeks E. e. Rice's celebrat-
ed Venus company drew crowded houses
1t was no wonder, for every body admires
pretty scenery, bright costumes, bands of
handsome women in fascinating dances
and marches, excellent singing, and
skilled acrobats in wonderful feats of
strength and agility. The great leader
of al. these attractions is Mile. Camille

lesque actresses that has been seen on
the boards for many day. venus"

The Imp Hoax.

This brazen imposture on the credulity
of tho English public WIS the result of a
wager between the Duke o. Montague and
another nobleman in 1749. In discussing
the amazing gullibility of the English
people, the former declared that If one
were to advertise it well that lie would
jump into a quart bottle, all London
would go to see him do it, The wager be-
ing made, an advertisement was inserted
in all of the leading papers, promising
that the feat would be performed on GER
tain date at the Haymarket theater. On
the appointed day the theater was packed
from pit to dome, and many hundreds
were turned from the DOORS The supposed
magician appeared on the stage and had
the temerity to state that if the audience
would pay double the price he would en-
ter pint bottle, shoWn on the stage table
instead of the quart flask as furnished
He then hurriedly escaped by the stage
door. A riot resulted, in which the thea
ter was badly wrecked, and the duke and
his companion had to leave town until the
excitement was we'll over.--Baltimore

LARGEST SEWING SCHOOL.
Successful Charitable Work of the Second

r,E A
The Second Parish Sewing School has
been unusually successful thepast winter
There have been 70 scholars on the list
from 9 to Is years of age. They have
met every Saturday and have finished 9S
garments. Last Saturday occurred the
closing exercises. There were refresh
ments and the following programme:
Motion Song, School
Piano Solo, Miss Grace Graves
Vocal Solo, Philip Turner
Violin Solo, Miss Lombard
Vocal Solo, Miss Turner
Piano Solo, Arthur Norton
Song, School
Only the mothers of the pupils were
present.
The extent of the work of this charita-
BILE school is not generally known. 1t
has been running few years now. This
last winter the school was the largest
ever held in the city, There has been an
average of Is teachers; the young ladies
of the parish. Some teach the little tots
patchwork; others teach the older ones
to make aprons, underwear, etc. There
are three regular dressmakers who meas
ure the girls and cut the cloth and get
all ready for the children. One little
girl y years old. is very small. She has
made five garments during the winter.
She intends to become dressmaker.
Many of the children come from homes
where the mothers know nothing of sew
ing and of course the instruction has
to begin at the beginning. The children
delight to come to the school. They are
sure there of one warm, comforta-
BILE afternoon during the week, at least.
There are devotional exercises before
and after the sessions. The SO garments
were given to the scholars. The church
of course, provided all the materials for
making them.
