hibit1on of the kind that has ever been
seen in Portland There was not q breath
of wind blowing and the daring arsa-
neut was carried hundreds of feet
straight upwards and made parachute
drop worth going miles to see. Last eve
ming Prof. Stevens went up In his bal

taole as he sailed slywsrds to see the COL
ored lights and fire works set off md

Gambling Places Raided.

Deputy Sterling and some of his officers
were on the war path Saturday night and
raided two places suspected to be gam.
bling resorts. Both places, however,
were arranged with double doors, strong
~ holted and guarded and as the officers
did not have the pass words at either
place and had to break down the doors
before they could get into the rooms
where the games were supposed to be 60
ing on, they naturally found the gam
bling paraphenalia missing and only a
few men in sight.
The first raid was made by Deputy
Sterling and Officers Cousens, Pickett
and Smart at 246 Middle street. The
street door was locked and bolted. The
officers smashed open this door and rushed
up stairs. Another door confronted them.
This they also smashed open and found
six or eight men sitting around a table
smoking. Nothing was found in the
room to warrant arrests being made.
Deputy Sterling reali the riot act to the
men and closed the place up. A back
door which the police knew nothing
about gave some of the men in the room
an opportunity to escape before the officers
got into the place.
At 81 Fore street Deputy Sterling was
assisted by Officers Record, Madden,
Thompson, Pickett and Pillsbury. At
this place two doors had to be broken
down before an entrance could be effect
ed. Ten men were found in this place
also but no arrests wers made. Deputy
Sterling brought back to the police STA

was used to fasten the street door of this

SATURDAYS YACHT RACES.
The vesper and sirooeo the;rortunate On

In Saturdays races of the Portland
Yacht club the Sirocco won in the third
class by three minutss AZ seconds. For
the second class the Vesper won from the
Marietta by six minutes and six seconds.
1t was the second race in the series of
Saturday afternoon races for the CUP
offered by the Portland Yacht club.
When tho first gun was fired at half past
one O'Clock there was scarcely a breath
of wind blowing in the harbor although
the vessels in the lower bay seemed to be
finding little of it. Everything on the
yachts was made ready for the starting
gun which was not fred until half past
two O'Clock, just half an hour later than
1t should have been fired.
But tho half hour delay was made to
see if a breeze would not spring up and
about this time light wind did come I'D
from the west.
On the start off the Thalia was dis
qualified for cutting away from her buoy
but the other yachts got away all right
and crossed the line in bunch. Tt was
in fact little more than drifting race
but they rounded the first buoy in this
order: Sirocoo first. Marietta second, !.
F. r. third. Vesper fourth, and the
Clique fifth. The Thalia and Scalpel
dropped out of the race and did not fin
ish. The Sirocco won from the /. Il. R.
by three minutes, 40 seconds. The Yes
per won in the seoond class from the Ma
riota by six minutes and six seconds.
The Clique finished third in the SECOND
class. The Sirocco was about two miles
in the lead and off Fort Gorges when the
|. +. r. had not rounded Great Diamond
Island. But the I. +. r. gained SO much
in the last reach that she lost the race by
a small margin only. 1t was nip and
tuck race between the Vesper and
Marietta over the entire course. The
