THE FOURTH IN THE HARBoR.
Great Crowds Went Down the Bay Yester-
terday-There Was Good Weather and
That's About All Except the Boat Races
at Long Island.

The harbor was almost deserted by
sailing vessels yesterday because of the
off shore wind for several days. There
were two or three big coal schooners
and barks, and they, together with the
Fishhawk and the Iris, were gay with
flags and bunting. Crowds of people
took advantage of the holiday to spend
it at the islands,, Several times the Casco
Bay Steamboat Company's boats were
filled to their limit and sailed, leaving
mary behind who were forced to wait
for the next boat
! At Long Island the special attraction
was a race between Z Hampton boats,
just opposite Ponce's landing. There
was only a light breeze, but the fleet
fishing boatsfmade good time and a still
better appearance. The three big boats
that entered were owned by H. Floyd,
H.Cushing and L. NJ Bickford The prizes
were first, SIS, and second, $40. Fl.
Floyd won the first and H. Gushing, the
second
The small boats were owned by e. Bick-
ford, V. Cushing G. Dyer, E. Harring-

Westbrook's celebration of the Fourth
yesterday was an event in every way
creditable to the enterprise of the city /;
and the public spirit of her citizens, and
her city fathers. Mayor Cutter, as the
official head, of the municipality, received
many congratulations on what the city
had done. The trades procession was re-
markably fine, especially for it's illustra-
tion of Westbrook's splendid industries.
Portland people who attended were as
proud of this display as were the people
of Westbrook; for it showed forcibly the
prosperity of the community lying with
in the limits of the old town of Fal-
mouth
Portland people attended in great
numbers. The electric cars ran as often
as the track would allow, and they were
loaded all day.
Westbrook was bright with bunting
and pretty girls yesterday morning. The
bunting was seen wherever you glanced,
and the pretty girls were in evidence on
all the streets. Old Glory fioated every
where, and here and there was an elabor-
ate display.
The people turned out, and the old Log
Cabin song of 1910 was recalled:
'sThe pretty girls, God bless their souls,
souls, souls,
Will all to man do all they can -
Westbrook was wide awake. West
brook was to have the only real celebra-
tion of the Fourth in this section of the
state, and Portland not envious, but anx-
ious to help it out was more than we'll

SIXTEEN TO FOUR.
The Golden Eagles Have Their Wings
Clipped.

We went to press Tuesday before
the game of ball at Wells was COM
pleted, but our report clearly indicat-
ed which club was the winner, and
so it proved. The game up to the
close of the fifth inning was a very
close one, but after the Mankato boys
got onto the pitcher and batted the
ball over the field at will, the
AuStins fell to pieces completely.
The umpiring was satisfactory to
both sides, the Austins only finding
fault with one decision.
Only about four hundred specta-
tors were present, and of these about
one-fourth were from Mankato. The
latter made up in enthusiasm for the
silence maintained by the Austin
hackers, who were also much fewer in
number. The Austin crowd was not
as anxious to putup money on their
favorites as heretofore, and the result
proved that their prudence was we'll
founded. Their club was badly
beaten, and this was done on neutral
ground, where there was not the

large decrease in their population.
But the comparison given in the table
is somewhat misleading. In James

porated as village since 1890. The
total population of the town then was

town and village now is 945, gain of

been incorporated as village since
1890. The population of Lyra in 1890
was 1859, the total population of the
town and village is now 1929, so there
has been a gain of 60 within the town
limits instead of loss. AS to reason
of the decrease in several other towns
we are not at present informed. Am

village or town in the county, having
doubled it's population in the past five
years. The towns of Mapleton of
Vernon and Lincoln have made a
healthy growth, and Lake Crystal
shows fine gain as noted few days
ago.

HIS NECK BROKEN
DAVID BECK HAS HARD LUCK
NEAR MAPLETON.
While Driving Home Saturday Night,
He Falls off of His Wagon into a
Ditch, and is Found Dead Shortly
Afterwards-Th to Have Been
Intoxicated Coroner's Inquest Held
Yesterday

David Beck, farmer who lives in
Medo, was instantly killed Saturday
night by falling off his wagon while
driving home from Mapleton. His
home is nine miles from Mapleton,
and he was sitting on the seat over
the double box of his wagon. He
started to drive home at eight o'clock
and two hours later his team was
found in a plowed field six miles from
Mapleton, with the pole four feet in
the soil, and one horse hurt on the
foot. The parties who found the
team walked back on the road with a
lantern and after going mile and
half came upon the dead body of
Beck, lying in a ditch beside the road.
They went to Mapleton and secured
DR.. G. J. Beise, who pronounced the
man dead and his neck broken. The
body was taken to Mapleton, and
Coroner Paddock notified.
1t appears from the tracks found
that the team had gone into the ditch
where Mr.. Beck fell off, and had made
circle in the road of about fifty feet
and after going into the ditch again
had started for home. The pole had
ONE down about the time the circle
was completed, and had left its mark
until it ran into the ground in the
plowed field and stopped the team.
Mr. Paddock went to Mapleton Sun
day morning and decided to hold an
inquest over the remains, and this
was held yesterday afternoon. The
evidence brought out the facts sub
stantially as above given, and the jury
brought in verdict that Mr.. Beck
was accidentally killed by falling from
his wagon and having his neck
broken.
The deceased was ffty-fve years of
age, and had resided in Medic for
many years. He leaves wife and
three or four children. His wife
states that he only had fifteen cents
when he left home, and this money
was still in his pocket when he was
found, so it is thought that Mr.. Beck's
death was wholly due to an accident.
The coroner learned that he had in
temperate habits, and that he was
drunk Saturday night before leaving
Mapleton, although Mapleton has no
saloon.

r1ANkATO AGAIN WINS.
The Spauldings, of St. Paul, Give No
Pointers.

The ball game Sunday afternoon
between the Mankato club and the St.
Paul Spauldings was witnessed by
large crowd. Owing to the success of
the Mankato players, the crowd was
not as quiet as usual for a Sunday
game. The outcome of the game was
a victory for the home team by score
of 16 to 10.
The ST. Paul Spauldings, in their
challenge to the Mankato club, re-
ferred to the defeat here of the ST.
Paul Picketts, and said that they
would come to retrieve the honor of
St. Paul and give the Mankato club
some pointers on the national game.
The result shows that the SANITY
City club was more in need of point
ers than the local club. The latter's
two splendid victories put it to the
front at leap, and restore it in the
good estimation of our people, who
are proud of the club and it's achieve
mentS.
The Mankato club goes to Wells to-
morrow to meet the Golden Eagles, of
Austin, and that promises to be a fine
game, as both clubs are in solid earn
est. A large crowd is expected to &C
company the Mankato team.
At st. Peter yesterday the Brainerd
team won by score of 20 to Is. 1t won
on Friday, and on Saturday it revolted
at the rank umpiring and the game
was awarded to ST. Peter by the
formal score of 9 to o.
