4 For the last time this season the big
steamer Scotsman steamed up the harbor
yesterday morning. When she visits
Portland again the Presidential election
and the summer will be things of the
past, and the st. Lawrence will be again
closed for navigation. Captain Maddox
is in command, the chief officer is Mr..
Skrimshire, the chief steward is Mr.. Nc
Masters, the chief engineer is Mr..
Pritchard, and the physician is DR..
Pagan.
Mr.. McMasters said yesterday of the
passage: "We left Liverpool April 2, and
had 59S Storage. 81 second and 26 first
cabin passengers. We had nice weather
all the way except that there was little
fog on the banks. We had with us 20S of
the DR.. Bernardo boys, all drafted off
from his London home. OF these 90 were
bound for points in the West. and were
left at Halifax where they took a G. P.
R. train, the remaining l45 were brought
here. We had in addition las boys and 3
girls sent over by Rev. Mr.. Wallace, a
church of England clergyman, who is
working along the same line as DR..
Bernardo. They were left at Halifax.
The boys we brought over will make
good CT tizens of Canada, and the United
| States, and they looked better on leaving
the steamer than they did when we took
them on board. The Scotsman has been
| fitted up since she was here before, and
can no accomm odate 30 first, and 60
second cabin passengers. A nice smoking
room has been added amidships, and the
steamer is now in first rate condition.
The boys Of whom Mr.. MoMasters
spoke, were forwarded by special Grand
Trunk express train and left here at H. 80
for Montreal. They will reach toronto
this morning, and will be taken to the
local home, from which they will be
distributed among the farmers and
others. They were bright looking set
of boys, many of them littles chaps, but

ranged from eight to twelve. and a few
were fourteen and sixteen, but many be-
low even eight, for N. L. Grace and John
Lawlor of the Grand Trunk, who for
warded them from here sold only 80 full
tickets. The boys were in charge of
A Tired B. Owen, and two assistants, but
they gave no trouble to any one. The
special train was first class, and
thoroughly provisionei.
