The two men looked in splendid trim.
and there was strong determination
to win on both sides. Mahoney did not
wait second but struck with good
effect, but he had little idea of the man
he was sparring, for Soulo replied with
shower of well directed blows, and Ma
wild applause when Soule fairly pushed
Mahoney TO his corner. Mahoney had
hardly counted ON such a cyclone, but
he sized up his man and sailed in, and
it was fine exhibition of good work.
Honors were even at the end of the
round.
"Time'' found both ready for the sec
ond round. Once more it was rush ON
the part of Soule that started the ball,
but Mahoney closed in, and there was
again give and take that carried the
excitement of the crowd to the highest
pitch. OF course no one expected Soule
to beat Mahoney, and the plucky effort
he made to hold his man down was ap-
preclated.
The third round was looked forward
to as something likely to be we'll worth
the seeing, and no one was in the least
disappointed. Soule, wholly regardless
of Mahoney's efforts to stop him, closed
in and actually forced Mahoney well to
the ropes despite his best efforts. There
was pretty struggle that aroused the
crowd and drew out constant applause.
1t was a good exhibition of sparring and
a still better OF pluck.
The final struggle was the best thing
of the evening. Soule tried his best and
never relaxed his efforts, while Mahoney
did that sJrong good work for which he
is no ted.
Take it all in all there could hardly
have been better exhibition.

The steamship Scotsman arrived at

Captain Thompson of the schooner G..
M. Gilmore reports that the wrecked
schooner Brunette has been stripped and
that her deokload was saved. The under
writers have arranged with James Bre-
men to save as much Of the grain in bulk
as possible.
The fishing schooner Unole Joe ar
rived yesterday with Ii, 900 pounds of cod
and haddock, the Eva and Mildred with
20, 900 pounds, and the Lillia Burns with
$4,000 pounds.
According to fishermen who came in
yesterday there is heavy blow off the

the eastward"
An uncommonly large seal was sport
ing off the barge office yesterday and at.
tracted general attention.
The steamer Hermann Reessing arrived
yesterd ay with 8, SEQ Holsters.
There were eleven freight specials over
the Grand Trunk yesterday and last
night. Boxed meats and bacon, cheese
and apples constituted large portion of
the freight received
A cattle train of twenty two cars is on
the way from the west over the Grand
Trunk and will be here Tuesday morn
ing.
A full cargo for the Scotsman will
mean lively work although there is al
ready considerable freight here for her,
She will probably take out large
amount of grains in bulk. This will be
lively week for the steamermen and the
freight forwarders.
John Burns, an old Massachusetts, fish
erman says he has been in the business
exactly IS years, and was years old
when he made his first trip, "I was large
for my age" he said, "and my folks
were poor an SO had to start in early to
earn my own liyin'. I've been at it ever
since an haven't got rich at it but I've
held my own pretty WE'LL" and the old
man chuckled as if he had. said fairly
good thing.
He said the business has completely
changed since he was boy and that
there isn't as much money In it today as
there was thirty years ago. There are
more schooners now, he thinks, and
while there are more people to eat fish
they don't seem to make it any better
for the fishermen.
A Port land dealer in fish explained
yesterday the process by which certain
brands of fish are made to comma nd the
highest price in the market. There are
some well known grades of Nova Scotia
packing that are always In demand. The
fish are taken by boat fishermen, and are
at once split and picked. They come
here very salt, but retain all the natural
taste and firmness AS a rule they are
split and picked within two hours of the
time they are caught.

reason did not enter. The depot could
not be passed by and they entered 1t by

ton Shaw's store near the depot was then
visited and entrsnoe gained by breaking

papers were scattered around. The only
thing missing, however. was about 10
cents in change. Mr.. Geo. G. Jordan 8
store at West Gorham, where the post
office Is located, was also entered, prob

way to Gorham or on their retreat
About 25 cents in change and few

is no clue, nor we-s they heard by any
body. They worked hard and got moth

AtIant1c-Au Three Now in Portland.
The brig Manson, Captain Grape, ar
rived in this port Saturday morning from
Perth Amboy with cargo of coal for
the A. R. Wright Company, after a
rough passage of fifteen days.
Captain Grape left Perth Amboy, Janu-

during most of the passage, being
obliged to put into New Gloucester for
two days. The captain said that all
suffered many hardships from the Sc
we're cold and were glad when they reach
ed port. The captain had his wife with
him on the voyage and both these people
have a remarkable history, having a few
years ago crossed the Atlantic ocean in
a twenty foot dory. The captain y and
his wife started in their dory from New
Bedford, Mass, for Penzance, England,
and made the voyage in forty -nine days.
Mrs. Grape has the distinction of being
the only woman who ever crossed the
A tlantic in small boat.
The boat is curiosity and is dashed
on the deck of the Manson. 1t is decked
all over with the exception of a small
cock pit at the stern, which is just large
enough to allow one person to sit in and
work the boat.
Captain Grape will probably he here
two or three days and it will be well
worth ones time to 60 down to the A.
r. Wright Company's wharf and see the
famous boat as we'll as the captain, who is
we'll known to many Portland people.
