Yachts and Boats.

Capt. Thos. D. Barr has placed his sloop
Ethel in winter quarters.
Holt is taking in his boats and landing
stage. 1t has been very improbable boat
ing season.
c. F. Brown of Pulpit Harbor is at work
on a 25-foot boat for Edwin Sellers of Vinal
haven to be completed by the middle of Oc-
tober. He has also a contract for 81 foot
yacht fer W. S. Hall Of Boston.
There was an interesting yacht race at
Thomaston Sept. 23d between the Thomas
ton yachts Ida and Comet and the Santasma
of Warren The wind W az strong bat tiuky

The sloop Dirgo of Swans Island, catboat
Dawn of Castne and steam launch Marie Of
Islesboro arrived at this port Friday after
noon, the Marie bringing quite large patry
from the island to attend the Nellie McHenry
show that evening.
The Castine Yacht Club has shown no
signs of life this season, and it was reported
some time ago that the Penobscot Yacht
Club at Rockland had gone under. There is
no lack of boats or of capable men to handle
them, and no reason why there should not
be one or more successful yacht clubs in this
vicinity.
The Davidson Bros. of Calais, builders of
the Tacoma and other fast craft launched q
yacht last week for G. B. Pear of Boston.
The Calais Times says: "The new boat is
built of Maine cedar, selected, and oak tim
Der Ia inch moulded, rs inch sided, placed
9 inches apart, and is copper riveted through
out. The cockpit is admirably finished. The
dimensions of the boat are, length, over all,
25 feet; L. W. l., 16 feet, 4 inches, and beam
feet, inches. The spars are of selected
spruce, and are exceptionally light and we'll
made. The Davidson fleet in Boston. espec-
tally the Tacoma and Inita, has made so
great an impression that Mr.. Henry A.
Davidson leaves for Boston soon, to make
contracts for the building Of several racing
yachts.

The Flag on the SchooIhouse.

Among the many lines of work in which
Superintendent Brick is engaged in our
schools, the placing of the flag on every
schoolhouse and teaching history and pa
triotism by the observance of flag days bear
prominent part. The schoolhouses in the
central district and some of the rural schools
Were already supplied with flags and observ-
ed the flag days on the calendar. The first
school to procure a new flag was at the
Board Landing. The men and boys of the
neighborhOod procured, finished, and put up
pole on the schoolhouse, and the people Of
the district contributed toward the buying
of q flag which was presented to the sclcol
and raised over the building Friday after
noon with appropriate ceremonies The day
was pleasant and there was a good attend
ance, not only Of the people of the district,
but Of interested parties from other parts of
the city, The exercises opened with singing
"The Red, White and Blue" by the school
and audience, with accompaniment by Prof
J. G. Whittea on the violin and Mrs E. S.
Pitcher on tile organ. The following pro
gram was presented:

Recitation, beautiful Banner"
Master Clifford White.
Reading, Beautiful Flag Of the Stripes and
Stars
Master John White
Recitation, The Building of the Ship"
Miss Lucy Ryan.
Prof j, G. Written then stepped to the
front and made characteristic speech, Civ
ing description of the flag and brief his
tory of its growth from ID stars to is pres
ent number. What the flag represents in
protection to our citizens on land and sea,
its use as an emblem, and its cost in life and
treasure, Were dwelt upon, and some patriotic
advice given to the boys and young men.
Mr.. Written spoke in high terms of the
teacher, Miss Nettie NJ. Brown, and closed
by making formal presentation Of the flag
to the school in behalf of the people of the
district.
Miss Brown, in behalf of the school, re-
sponded very happily and stated that she
would use her best endeayors not only to
preserve the flag unsullied, but from it to
teach her pupils lessons of patriotism and
love of country.
Brief remarks on the flag as a symbol and
its use in connection with school work were
made by John S. Fernad, representative Of
The Journal, and by Superintendent Brick,
after which "A nerica" was sung by all and
the audience Went outside where Capt. Col
Inns MeCarty aud Mr.. Edwin Jackson had
prepared the flag for hosting.
When all was ready Prof. Written gave
the word and three cheers We're given with a
will. After cheers for tile teacher, for Mrs
Pitcher Mr.. Brick and Prof. Written, the
company dispersed

Googins-is it necessary to add Geo E. !,

ton that The overwhelming Republican
plurality was but an expression of the
peoples ignorance on the financial ques-
tom Googins was one of the free sill
yer orators who peddled transformation
about the State during the campaign; and
the only inference from his remark quot
ed above is that he thinks he knows more
than the So, 800 citizens of Maine who cast
their ballots for honest money and for
the maintenance of the national credit,
law and order. Mr.. Googins' assumption
that lot of Democratic votes were pur-
chased is further aspersion upon Maine
people. Having assailed both their intel
ligence and their integrity Googins should
now retire from public sight. Goo, goo,

One,of the free silver arguments is that
the Government can take u cents worth
of silver and by placing its stamp upon it
make it worth 100 cents. Another argu-
ment is tnat with free silver people who
are now in debt can meet their obligations
with 80 cent dollars. In fact, neither
proposition is true. The government
stamp alone will not make II cents worth
OF sivel equal in value to a gold dollar;
aud before the free silver theories could
be put into practical operation debtors
would he forced to make settlements on a
