Maine Bicycle Meet.


AUGUSTA, April 2s. The state division
Augusta bicycle club in this city this even
ing. There was large attendance, many
prominent wheelmen from different parts
Of the State being present. The meeting
was called by Chief Consul Charles S.
Hichborn of this city for the purpose of
voting on the proposition to change the
day of the spring meet from May 30 to the
second Saturday in June.
Chief Consul Hichborn made a strong
plea in favor of the change. He thought
it was not in keeping with the purpose Of
Memorial Day, and that the league should
not recognize the day for any such secular
purposes as has been customary.
There was strong opposition against any
change being made. Several of the speak
erS said that their races were held in the
forenoon before the services of the G. A.
r. began and that the two bodies would
not conflict in any way. Nearly all the
clubs in the State We're represented by
members or proxy.
The proposition was defeated, 1873 to
90. Among soAe of the prominent wheel
men present We're Percy H. Richardson,
Portland, secretary of the State league
c. A. Litchfield, Lewiston; S. B. Phillips,
Portland.
The spring meet will be in Augusta Me-
moral Day. and the local wheelmen al
ready have begun to make arrangements

The Wiscasset & Quebec Railroad.

The seasons prospects of the Wiscasset
Quebec railroad are now being earnest
ly canvassed, says Wiscasset special, and
stockholders and Sheepscot people gener-
ally are wondering whether or not the
line is to be extended from it's present
terminus in Albion to Burnham, to which
point the road-bed has already been grad
ed. The extension is earnestly desired by
everyone Interested in the road, and is, Of
course, contingent upon the sale of the
corporation S bonds. The various attempts
that have been made to dispose of the
final issue of bonds amounting to 5000, 900
have been managed zealously by Capt. r.
T. kundlett and his associates, but thus
far they have not been able to secure the
terms that their judgment tells such
bonds should command
The present status of the corporation is
this: OF the final issue Of 5000, 600 worth
OF bonds S67, 900 were subscribed for and
taken by local syndicate at 90 per cent.
OF the balance of the bonds, all are prac-
tically in pledge as collateral behind notes
given by the corporation from time during
the past year. There is 5000, 900 worth of
bonds impounded in the treasury of the
road but not available until the stretch
of road from Burnham to Pittsfield is I'M
der contract. The other 5000, 900 worth
of bonds covers the section as far as Burn
ham, 10 miles still requiring the track and
ballast

Old English Masters.
III. Collection by xr. Ralph Q. johnson.

The recent additions to the collection
Of Mr.. Ralph Cross johnson have been
examples of the work of the old English
masters. for which he has a great fond-
ness. He has lately acquired a portrait
by Sir Joshua Reynolds OF Sir William
Boothby of the same family as the little
Penelope Boothby whose sweet face is ia
miliar to many from Reynolds portrait.
Sir William is dressed in the riding cos
tune of the period, holding his hat in his
hand, but SO simple is the treatment of
the figure that one hardly notices any
thing but the face, which is master
piece of expression. 1t is considered one
of the best portraits by that greatest of
English portrait painters. The color is
deep rather than warm and brilliant. and
in this respect it differs widely from Rey-
nods' portrait of Lord Rothes, which
Mr.. johnson secured at the King sale a
short time ago. The latter portrait is of
florid gentleman of a thoroughly Eng
lish type, and there is a wealth of color
both in the man S dress and surroundings.
Mr.. johnson has other paintings by Rey =
nolds, of which perhaps the most notable
is small canvas which Joseph Jefferson
pronounces to be unquestionably a por-
trait of Richard Brinsley Sheridan. His
collection. though small and select, is
fairly representative of early English art,
containing, as it does. landscapes BY
George Vincent of the Norwich school,
Gainsborough, Copley, Fielding, and Will
son, and in portraiture, fine specimens by
such men as Lawrence, Romney, Hoppner
Lely, and Opie, Washington, D. c.,

The Woman of To-day

With Hebrew, Greek and Latin
She's acquainted, more or less,
And she's obviously pat in
All the modern languages.
She has read her Herbert Spencer,
Her Kant and Schopenhauer,
And in logic she's fencer
OF unquestionable power.
She is full of keen suggestion,
Be the subject what it may;
And on every social question
She has something apt to say,
Yor may see her quick eye kindle
With a bright and vivid flame
AT the mention of Tyndall
Or HuXleys potent name.
Scraps of learning she will dish up
With skill that makes them live
She will argue with Bishop,
Say on Church Prerogative.
With her own sex she will chatter
In the proper time and place,
On some trivial household matter,
With quaint and lively grace.
She can cook and wash and mangle
Though perhaps she'd rather mott,
Play tennis, ride and angle,
And is quite champion shot.
From the public platform you will
Find her talking fact or myth,
With the vigor of a Whewell
Or the wit of Sidney Smith.
'MOngst mere minnows she's Triton
Who will always have her way;
She's an Admirable Crichton,
Is the Woman of To-day

The New York Ice Trust.

The people up in Maine are watching
the campaign of the ice trust in New York
city with good deal of interest C. NJ
Morse of their own State is the head and
front Of the trust; and any Maine man is
an interested SPECTATOR at least when any
other Maine man is at all likely to squeeze
ST. 900, 900 OF SO for himself. Whether
Mr.. Morse will do this or not is a prob
lem. The Maine verdict is not altogether
that he has success ON his side. In the
first place, he is having a great deal of
trouble in getting schooners and barges
enough to transport his ice; and at this
juncture is having difficulty with him
self. That is to say, he and his men are
offering 43 cents per ton for transporta-
ton, and the regular rates are from 65 to
10 and 70 cents. While he is instructing
his agents to do this, he is also one of the
commissioners appointed by the New Eng
land Association of Schooner Owners to
use his influence in advancing schooner
rates. So that it may possibly be said
that he would be likely to profit in either
event. But the schooner owners, who
take somewhat different view of it, are
limiting loudly that he cannot ride two
such horses successfully at this time
