The Drgo and Senator Hale hose
teams have announced their determina-
tion TO attend the Rockland meeting ON
Sept. Il, where they hope to meet the
Orioles, of Bar Har Dor and the Dirigos, of
Brewer. The race will be what is known
as the wet race, consisting of a run of 100
yards to cart, back to hydrant with cart,
lay $50 feet Of hose, attach to hydrant, put
on pipe and sho" water. This is the
style of race in which the Dirigos made
such a good run at Augusta on the
Fourth, but lost through an accident at
the pipe. The race is an entirely new one
for the Senators, but they will soon begin
practice
The campaign WAS opened in Ellsworth
by the republicans with a mass meeting
at Hancock hall, Tuesday evening, ad
dressed by Governor Henry b. Cleaves.
The hall WAS crowded with an attentive
audience. The speaker was introduced
by Senator Hale, who spoke briefly but
forcibly on the issues of the campaign.
Governor Cleayes spoke principally on
the coinage question, but the hearty APP
plause which greeted his reference to pro-
lection, showed that this great principle
OF the republican party, protection for
home industries, protection for the
lumber interests of Maine, is by no
means oyershadowed by the coinage ques-
ton in this section. Monaghan's band
furnished music for the rally.
Maggie Brown, who said he was from
Ellsworth, and who evidently believed
that this fact gave her license to do as she
pleased, made business for the Bangor po
lice and police court last week. First she
WAS arrested for drunkenness and Great
ing a disturbance near the merrygo
round. She escaped with a fine. On
Thursday she was again arrested, and will
spend thirty days ION the hill," as they
politely put it in Bangor. The Bangor
Commercial says Of Maggie: "She is
bad girl-about a. bad as ever comes to
town. OF late she has been living at
rowdy resort on the east side. She is as
crazy as q rnaniac w hon che gets drunk
