North Yarmouth Academy.

The present year is the triennial, reck-
oned from 1894, the date of the last gen.
eral alumni meeting and the eighty third
in the history of the academy. The Or
binary anniversary exercises were this
year merged in the alumni reunion in the
afternoon and evening of June IL.
| Though the notice was limited the atten-
dance of alumni was quite large. At the
| important business meeting in the after
noon the academy and its work and needs
were carefully considered. Brief and
| effective addresses were made by DR..
David Dana Spear of Freeport, president
Of the alumni; Hon. George Warren
| Hammond, president of the trustees !;
Clarence l.. Marston, of Portland, and
others. The principal spoke of the pres
relations to the other schools in town,
and Miss Ellen F. Snow, preceptress,
read q paper ON the condition and needs
of the school. 1t was voted to enter Wig
orously upon the raising of an alumni
fund and the first cash contributions
were made at the meeting to a movement
which is most significant and of great
promise for all the interests of the acad-
envy The alumni supper was hand
somely served in the vestry of the First
Parish church and in response to senti-
ments proposed attractive and telling
speeches were made by DR.. Bates,
Charles L. Marston Irving F. True and
Others, the exercises being enlivened by
music, especially notable being brilliant
violin solo by Miss Vida Spear of Free
port and an admirable piano piece by
Mrs. Bennett of Yarmouth. The readings
by Miss Josephine Hodsdon of Pownal,
were delightful. and deservedly receive
many compliments. The alumni assooia-
tion elected officers as follows: President,
David Dana Spear, NJ D., Freeport; vice
president, Lyman P. Stnrtivant, Cum
berland; treasurer, Alexander Fl.
Twombly, Yarmouth; secretary, Miss
Ada Gray, Yarmouth. The tone of the
whole occasion was excellent and the re-
union was by all declared q pronounced
success.

New EngIand's Champion Walter.

At ball held by the Foresters at Liver
more Falls prize of a gold ring was
offered to the lady who waltzed the long
est without stopping. Twelve couples
competed. They began Waiting at $3.50
a. M, and it was 5.45 a. M, before Miss
Bessie Nc 1raw, the winner, and her
partner stopped waltzing. By 2.20 five
couples had dropped out; at $50 another
couple left the floor. and at 4.15 Carl
Richmond's partner tainted and was
taken away. Two more couples dropped
out at 4.25 and at T. so only two couples
remained on the floor. AT SAB Miss
Bessie Dain and her partner, George E.
Hall, gave up the contest, and so the
prize fell to Miss Bessie McGraw, she and
her partner leaving the floor two minutes
later. The endurance exhibited by Miss
Dain was more remarkable than that ex-
hibited by the winner, as she is from
thirty to forty pounds heavier than Miss
McGraw. For a continuous waltz this
record probably not only breaks the State,
but also the New England record
