from sixteenth century pictures and
descriptions, the popular puppet shows
of those days differed but little from
the performances that may be wit

city in our own time. There was the
little portable stage or castelleto, on
which the burattini of Florence and
Rome and the fantoccini of Naples
played their mimic parts. The latter
city was the birthplace of the mod

named. it is said, from the hen chicken
whose cry his voice is supposed to re-

was finished, Trollope. naturally de-

ahead of the l. F. R., and on the second

School for the Deaf.

The term of the School for the Deaf
closed yesterday and the children are be-
ing sent home for the long summer vaca-
tion. Miss Taylor, the principal, has been
very busy the past two days arranging for
tickets and getting trunks checked. She
wishes to make public acknowledgment
of the courtesy shown her by the officers
of the Maine Central. Col. Boothbay has
been untiring in his efforts to make her
task easy and the officers of the baggage
department have been very accommodate

been provided with free transportation to

to that point party of children who live
in Aroostook and adjoining counties,

line, followed by the Beatrice (cat),
Leila, Clarence, Gwendolen, Sirocco,
Beatrice, (schooner), and Viva, eight
in all. The Sirocco is really third class
boat, as she measures 21 feet, and the
second class are 25 feet and over, but by
permission of the club she assumed four
feet so as to sail in the second class.
The Beatrice (schooner), and the Viva
fast drew ahead of the rest Of the squad

the briny element in good shape sending
the spray up high and making things at
times a little wet. So stiff was the breeze
that the Viva carried away the. sheet of
her topsail and had to make the race on
her working sails. Owing to the necessity
for beating, the two yachts must have
sailed 30 instead of 81 miles.
On board of Mr.. Hamlen's yacht, the
Beatrice, there was large party, of ladies,
and they enjoyed the excitement as much
as the men. When the Viva crossed the

but in order to make second race she
was allowed by the club to assume four
feet in length, thus making her a 25
instead of 21-foot boat 1t was very
kind of the owner, Vice Commodore Mer-
rill, and the act was appreciated by Mr..
George Owen of the Gwedolen and by
the club. The length of the course was
IS miles
In the cat race Capt Orr's Beatrice
knocked Capt Jones's Clarence almost
tout of sight. The course was nine
miles and half, and the Clarence was
beaten by some IA minutes
Now the best judges say there must
have been something the matter with the
Clarence to cause her to make such a
showing; that she is too good boat to
be whipped as badly by any boat in the
harbor. Capt. Jones declared that he ran
too close to House Island and was stuck
in the soft mud for several minutes but
the regatta committee say that the two
rounds of the course were made by the
Clarence in comparatively the same time.

afternoon, at which the following officers
were elected:
President-Mrs Asa Dalton.
Vice President-Miss G. M. Dalton.

Secretary John Higgins.
Treasurer-Mrs. Y. P. Dow.
Directors-Mrs. Ernestine Libby, Miss

Mrs. G. B. Swazey, Mrs. I. H. Sampson,
Mrs. P. Bonney, Miss Abba Leavitt, Miss
Lizzie Barrett Miss Martha McKenney,
Mrs. James P. Baxter.
The secretary reported as follows: The
month of June brings us to the end OF
another period of association history.
Most of the year nothing occurred to
change the usual routine from month to
month
November 26, we observed the twenty
fifth anniversary of the Portland Women s
Christian association in State street
church, with sermon by Rev. DR..
Jenkins, which was much enjoyed by all
present.
In March, Mrs. W. S. Dana, one of the
most active and beloved members of the
board, was called home to her reward in
Heaven. She was one of the first to be
identified with this association, and as
one of the home committee had great re-
sponsibility. In her removal the associa-
tion looses one of rare good sense and in
fiuence. The twenty fifth annual report
has also been printed.
The years of 1894 and 1895 have been
years of financial disturbance which has
affected the boarding home. There has
not been the usual number In the Home,
but we owe much to the faithful matron
who has kept the house almost to perfec-
tion in order, cheerfulness and comfort
She reports that financially the home
has been self supporting including her
Rev. Mr.. Wilson has continued his
missionary work for the association. He
has spent much of his time in house to
house visitation; gathering in children to
Sunday fschools and introducing those
to the different churches of their choice,
distributing reading and Bibles where
there are none While he occasionally
meets with rebuffs, he is generally re-
ceived kindly, and tracts received and
eagerly read. During the last year we
learn from his reports, which are made
quarterly, that he has found hearts un-
usually tender and ready to receive
Christian council The ladies are more
and more convinced of the great need of
this kind of work, and of preventive and
aggressive work for the young of our
city, and we rejoice in all that is being
done for the home makers and mothers Of
the future.
Respectfully submitted,
E. M. HIGGINS, Secretary.

Captain Slater is pretty obstinate when

= Umpire Murphy is not competent to

Dove made a magnificent catch of that
long fly. He had to jump into the air for
it. He grabbed it with the grip of vice.
Goodhart was decidedly off in his field

not, and probably will not be repeated.
Terrien is doing splendid work. He is
as quick as a cat, as steady as clock,

catching them at second in fine style.
Spills play at short stop wasla rejuvena-

simply superb.

The fire department will soon have a
private telephone line of its own. 1t is
proposed to connect the different engine
houses in the city by metallic telephone
service and have a central office for the
line in the central fire station. All the
telephones in the engine houses are to be
removed excepting the one in central fire
station This is to be used for still alarms
and by the members of the fire depart
ment only. The still alarms will be
transmitted to the various engine houses
by means of the private fire department.

the CITY costs about $500 year and after
the private circuit in completed nearly
all of this amount will be saved. The
instruments which will be put in for this
service are to be hired from the Bell COM
pany and the circuit will be constructed
by the city electrician with very little
cost. The line is to be built at once.
