railway, gave delightful fete champetre

Cape Cottage ~ grounds. A special cleo
trio car took tho party In the morning to
the Casino at Willard where the attrac-
lions of the place were enjoyed and
especially the grand view of the North

and from thence the party proceeded to
the Cottage grounds, where in pavilion
a most delicious shore dinner and clam
bake was served by Robinson. Everybody

Superb Catharine Mermet and white
roses. After dinner the car was again
taken for Rigby and the races and other

That which Portland has long needed
is a book of reasonable price, illustra-

to give it SO elaborate a form as that new

Sunday Excursion to Mount Kineo

The fact that an excursion to Moose
head Lake and the Mount Kineo house is
the one wanted by the people, is shown
by the fact that the one arranged last
Sunday from Lewiston was the largest
that has gone from that city even though
the weather was unpropitious, as at the
time the train started it was raining
hard
There were many who were disappoint-
ed in this, and acceding to their request
the Maine Central has arranged another
for next Sunday to start from Portland
by express train leaving the Union Sta
ton at Z 30 a. M, with connection from
Lewiston via Brunswick, arriving at
Greenville ut p. M, and Kineo house
and Pebble Beach about q 80 p. m. Re-
turning, leave Kineo and Pebble Beach
about 45O p. M, Greenville at g.. b. M,
thus giving six hours and half on the
shores of Moosehead Lake at Greenville
and vicinity and two hours at the famous
Mount Kineo house.
The fare to Kineo and return from
Portland is only $3.50, which, with
through cars and personally conducted,
makes it a charming Sunday outing
much cheaper as was ever offered before
to the great fishing grounds of Maine.
The scenery on Moosehead Lake is par
ticularly grand, giving fine view of
famous Mount Katahdin, the highest
peak in Maine, and the lake is almost
entirely surrounded by hills and noun
tains.
The fishing is always even in August
SO that those who go will stand a chance
OF landing big trout which would make
ehe day most complete.

Lee Richardson's Trick Riding.

To the delight of the crowded grand

track during the afternoon and gave as
pretty an exhibition of fancy riding as
ever was seen. He rode in every con-
ceiyable manner, with and without handle
bars, forward, backward, and every other
way that one could think Of. He was
loudly applauded and had to go through
his act second time The trotting
horses should be kept off the track dur

was greatly interfered with by the jockies

The Bicycle Races.

The Bicycle Races.
There were IA starters in the one-miIe
open bicycle race which occurred in the
middle of the afternoon. Among them
were several Portland riders and much
interest was manifested in this event.
The track officials announced that q limit
OF $50 was to be placed on the mile.
This was due to the fact that on Monday
the racers loafed all the way around the
track and made very poor time. In fact
the only part of the races on Monday that
was at all interesting was the finish and
1t was the intention of the officials YES
terday to have the race good one from
start to finish.
At the word the bunch set off and tax
ing rather slow pace, loafed around the
back stretch. About the time the race
started Troop f filed on to the track
through the back gate and the riders,
fearing collision, with the crack riders
of Uncle Sam, made no effort to finish
under the time limit As soon as the
bunch started the experienced Massa-
chusetts riders began to manuoevre in
such way as to pocket the Portland
men, and the first thing the latter knew
they were completely hedged in by the
erack-a-jacks from the Bay State. This
put damper on the enthusiasm of the
crowd, who were mainly in sym,
pathy with the local flyers. John
X. johnson of Portland met with mis-
hap on the back stretch in trying to break
through the pocket and got a bad fall
which put him out OF the race. The fin
ish was close one. Just before the
tape was reached John S. johnson of Wor
cester Mass, pushed through the bunch
and won by scratch. HI. B. Hills Of
Providence was second and J. f. Ingra
ham of Lynn, third. The first prize was
a $25 diamond, the second $I5 suit Of
clothes and the third prize was s1(
field glass. The time was $40, ten sec
onds slower than the limit, but the race
stood according to the decision of the ref
cree.
The quarter.mile open bicycle race was
not called until half-past five O'Clock and
the racing men were kept waiting at the
quarter mile mark for half an houl
dressed in racing costume. This was un
fair to the cyclers and created consider
able dissatisfaction. When the bunch Of
II starters was finally given the word
the racers hustled for the wire. 1t was
a very fast race and was very exciting
Ingraham led almost to the tape, but
John S. johnson of Worcester, sprintet
out of the bunch and won by hair. J
| f. Ingraham of Lynn was second ant
Ernest J. Rogers of Melrose was third
The time Twas 38 seconds. The prizes
were, first, SIS camera; second, dress sui
case, valued at SO, and the third was

but one man.
The losses Of the enemy have never been
ascertained. No precise information on the
subject has been discovered. and not even
general statement can be made of his
casualties. In few of the battles of this
campaign his losses were greater than the
losses suffered by the Union troops; in the
greater part Of the battles they were less.
Our reinforce:nents had amounted to just
about the same number as the losses. 1t
was estimated from the best sources of in
formation that Lee had also received REIN
fcrcements equal to his losses. so that the
armies were now Of about the same size as
when the campaign began
All the reinforcements organized in the
north and reported as on their way to the
front did not reach US. There was a good
deal of truth in the remark reported to
have been made by Mr.. Lincoln: I'VE get
a large body Of reinforcements together
and start them to the front; but after de-
ducting the sick. the deserters, the strag.
glers and the discharged, the numbers Sc
riously diminish by the time they reach
their destination. 1t is like trying to shovel
f1eas across a barn yard; you don't get 'en
all there"
