Inspection of steamer New Brunswick-

Inspection of Steamer New Brunswick
= The steamer New Brunswick, formerly
of the International line which, as has
been previously stated, would be put ON
to the route between Portland and
Penobscot river points, including Rock
land and Bangor providing proper certif-
cate of inspection could be had, has been
thoroughly inspected by United States
Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Messrs.
Pollister and Merritt, and found to be
unfit for the requirements of the l1ne
This inspection was called for by the In
Sensational Steamship company at the re-
guest of George W. Brown, who agreed
with them to accept the boat and put her
on the line providing she passed the in
spection all right. There is great cause
for disappointment, for line connecting
Portland with Penobscot river points is
sadly needed. 1t is practically the only
point of the compass with which Port
land has 10 direct connection and means
a great loss to the travelling public and
Portland's wholesale trade Ample
capital was assured and had the boat
proven satisfactory for the requirements,
this lire would, without any question,
have been established. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that the agitation in favor OF
this line will result in esta blishing a
satisfactory service either by bringing
the steamer Frank Jones TO Portland, or
some other boat equally we'll fitted for
the service. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars in business is now being carried
right past Portland to Boston by the
Boston and Bangor Steamship company
and Maine Central and Boston and
Maine railroads, greatly to the detri-
ment OF Portland's best interests. There
| is large amount Of business. enough in
fact to warrant the success OF this line
beyond any question should the same be
established, and there can be little
question but that ths matter win be
| taken up in the very near future, com
pany organized and another boat secured.

Four Out Of Five Earned
Purses at Oakland
Track.
Clawson Carried Off the Saddle
Honors by Winning
on Three
Fopsovannah Finished Ahead Of Mo.
rellito-Al Koran First in a
Fierce Drive.

It always is dull at a racetrack after a
holiday, and yesterday was no exception
at Oakland. The attendance was small
and the betting slower than the walters
in the track restaurant.
First choices in the betting came very
near making it five straight. Novia being
the only one 10 suffer defeat. Dick Claw
son carried off the riding honors by pilot
ing three past the winning post first.
Burns & Waterhouse furnished the ia
vorite for the opening fve-furong dash
for maidens in Toto, which closed III the
betting at to 5. The hIly won as she
pleased from Hertha, with Moringa tinis sh-
ing in the snow.
A six-furlong selling sprint followed. for
which Calipnte ruled 8 TO 10 choice.
He came from third place in the stretch
and defeated r. Q. Ban bandilv at the
wire. @ Morse landed the 20 to l shot,
Silver State in the show.
Ii the track had been trife less heavy
Fonsovannah, the 10 favorite for the
third event, six-furiong pin for two
year-olds, wouII probably have finished
second, instead of first. Sam Hlldreth S
entrv made all the running and the last
ffty yards won easily from Moreilito. The
latter colt did not farcy the heavy going
on the backstretch and lost several
lengths. He came fast when stra1g htened
for the wire, and is undoubtedly capable
OF taking the winners measure on bet
ter track. Soscol, 100 to L shot, run into
the show.
With both Schiller and Colonel Wheeler
scratched, the mile selling run seemed a
certainty for By Holly's Fortunate.
Backed from to 10 down to ? to 5, the
brown colt finished onthe outside, a clever
winner from Earl Cochrane, Is TO out
slider. Coda, the second choice, was beaten
but head for the place. The hot tip,
ALVIN E, ridden by ConIey, backed from
Is down 10 6. finished back in the ruck,
quite evidently not liking going.
The five-furlong scram bic for maiden
2-year-olds furnished the hercest fought
out contest of the day, Al Koran, Rebel
Jack and P W. Finnegan finishing heads
On The wire in the order named. The
winner went to the post at TO in the
ring. Novia, the to favorlte, with Con-
ley, ran fatteringly up IN front with the
leaders until we'll into the stretch, when
she tired and fell back
