THE KENNEBEO JOURNAL.
Better Than Ever.

With the year 1897, that old and reliable Re-
publican paper. the Kennebec Journal, which
stands deservedly in the front ranks of Names
progressive newspapers, will enter upon its
seventy second year, and its Daily edition will
enter upon its twenty eighth year. The Jour
nal, at all times an interesting and up-to date
paper, will be of special value the coming win
ter, on account of the complete and compre-
hensive manner in which it handles the news of
the legislative session. Not only does it, as the
State paper, publish the only official steno-
graphic report of legislative proceedings, but it
also gives full and valuable reports of the va
rious important committee hearings, and the
various news and gossip that make the Capital
such centre of news interest during the leg
islative winter.
No Maine home can well afford to be without
this paper during the coming winter, and GER
tainly the very reasonable price which the pub
fishers have placed upon it for the legislative
session, puts it within the reach of all.
The daily edition of the Journal will be sent
to any address during the legislative session,
for 1928; the weekly edition will be sent to any
address for the same period for 30 cents Every
one will recognize that this is most liberal
offer, and we have no doubt that citizens all
over the State will hasten to avail themselves OF
it. While this special rate is intended to apply
only to the time the Legislature is in session,
the publishers of the Journal have decided TO
enter all subscriptions for the Legislative Daily
or Weekly as soon as they are received. People,
therefore, who subscribe at once will secure the
advantage of getting the paper several weeks
free of charge. Address all subscriptions to

THE YACHTS ARRIVE.
New York Yacht Club Boats Have Fine Run
from New London.

Newport, r. L. Aug. 4.-Blown along
by a good WHOLESALE Southwestern, the
best breeze of the week, the feet of the
New York Yacht Club swept into the
harbor from New London, this after
noon, filling the already crowded road
stead to Overlooking and finishing the
second of the runs of the 1897 cruise.
The yachts were under way by $50.
this morning and heading out of New
London harbor. The time of the sloops
crossing the starting line was as fol-
lows Wasp, 1901 .06; Navahoe. 10.01.n;
Nigilant, l00140; Vencedor, 1901 so;
Gloriana, 10000, Carmita, 10.0212
Uvira l0.02.25; Queen Nab 10.02.29;
Navoto, l062.30; Liris, 1002.56.
AS the sloops were tearing through
for the line the schooners We're making
a pretty fight for position. and when
the gun was fired at 1905 half dozen
came down for the line in a bunch All
managed to get over inside the time
limit. with the exception of the
Sachem Hildegrade and Marguerite.
Sachem was surprising slow in view of
the fact that Speaker Reed was aboard I;
Hildegarde being new was not quite in
trim; while Marguerite was bothered
by tow coming down. THE schooners
crossed the line in the following order:
Armorita, l0.o6,25; Gevalia, 1906 40.
Iroquois, 10.0719; Fenella, 10.07.l9;
Ariel 1009.31; Colonia, 1909 SO I;
Emerald 10.1003.
BY the time the schooners had
started the sloops Were all reaching
down TO Race rock and the hottest
kind of race was on. Navahoe walked
by Wasp with ease with Nigilant hard
after her and for miles the two big
slOops sailed on, neither gaining on the
other. The older Herreshoff boat was
the first to turn Race rock, and, slack
ening sheets, headed for Point Judith.
The yachts rounded Race rock in the
following order: Navahoe, Vigilant.
Wasp, Queen Nab, Gloriana. Armorita.
Nencedorf, Colonia Uviar, Asayonar,
Acarmita. Emerald. Syce. Ariel, Hide
sarde, Liris, Koturrah, Sachem, Cava-
liza, kestial, Marguerite and Fenella
both Navahoe and Vigilant took a
more southerly course to Point Judith,
running along under balloon jibs. while
the rest of the fleet set spinnakers.

giving his name as Phillip Carroll, was
quite badly injured. He said that
while he was standing near the tanks

After the accident he got up and made
his way to the freight house and was
taken to the police station. He was
later taken to the office of Dr. Ben
Turner where it was found necessary
to amputate the second finger of the
left hand at the first joint; to take
seven stitches in a cut over the fore
