The head of the Democratic ticket en-
ioyed the fish dinner and the restful
quiet of Small Point immensely. Mr..
Manley is in New York, but his cottage
was decorated with American flags in
honor of Mr.. Bryan's visit.
MIR. Bryan returned to Ba th at seven
O'Clock, and three hours later went on
board sleeping car that was attached to
the midnight train. He retired immedi-
ately. MIR. Sewall will accompany Mr..
Bryan as far as New York.
The intinerary arranged for Mr.. Bryan
tomorrow has been changed. Instead of
going to Boston and proceeding to Lynn,
he will stop over at Lynn, where his
train is due at $50 q. M, take breakfast
there, speak at seven and leave for Bos-
ton at eight. Arriving in Boston at $40
over the Boston and Maine. he will be
driven across the city to the Park Square
station and leave at nine for Providence
by the Colonial express over the Shore
line. At 1905 Mr.. Bryan will reach
Providence, leave there an hour later
after making an address, and get to New
London at noon. Another hour he will
spend in New London, and at 1.05 the
candidate will depart for New York
where he is due at 4. 80. Tomorrow night
will be given up to speeches at Patter-
son, New York and Jersey City.
The Bowdoin college student who was
arrested here last night, is son of Mayor
Baxter Of Portland. He was bailed out.
1t seems that the carload of Bowdoin
boys who came up from Brunswick gave
their college yells too loudly to suit the
police. Two were placed under arrest,
and young Baxter insisted SO strenuously
that they be released, that he was also
taken into custody. The fellow students
in whose behalf he interfered, escaped in
the excitement of the moment.
While Mr.. Bryan was sp eak1ng last
night the crowd began to sway and the
candidate, pausing in his remarks, called
out that the confusion was probably be-
ing caused by pickpockets. Some people
here claim that the Bowdoin boys were
responsible for the swaying, but Mr..
Bryan sticks to the opinion he expressed.
1t is certain that gang of pickpockets
were in Bath. One of them was captured
in the act of taking diamond stud from
an Augusta man. He refused to give his
name.
Mr.. Bryan's itinerary between October
8, when he will again appear in st.
Louis. and October g. the date of his
Burlington, Iowa, speech has been
practically arranged. He will go from
st. Louis to Memphis and Nashville.
thence to Indianapolis, and probably
proceed from that place to Michigan. The
