Used to this sort of thing, and an annual
cruise without a rain storm thrown in
would be very tame affair, indeed. Only
a few OF the yachts of the club started
yesterday afternoon and those which did
sail went under the command of Vice
Commodore Bray. The remainder of the
fleet under the command of Commodore
Bowers will sail this morning and meet
the first squadron in Boothbay onSunday
All yesterday morning the club house
was the busiest place on Commercial
street and the amateur salts were hard
at work fitting out their little vessels for
the cruise. They did not seem to mind
the rain a bit though, as some of them
said,it did seem too bad that there should

concluded their labors at the mills on

the afternoon the preparatory gun was

And still the crowds gather at Portland
theatre to see the remarkable feats in

feel hot or cold, become contortionists, in
fact are entirely subject to the will of the
hypnotists. But one more chance is
afforded to see the exhibition
and Portland theatre will doubtless be
packed tonight.
Niclkerson Comedy Co.
1t will no doubt be great pleasure for
the people of Portland to greet the Nick
erson Comedy Company upon their re-
turn engagement at the theatre next
week. The fact that Manager Tukesbury
booked this attraction for a return date
within seven weeks of their previous en-
gagement is a guarantee of their
worth as drawing attraction The
company will give matinee performances
each day except Monday at popular prices.
Newton Beers.
That Mr.. Newton Beers is gifted with
rare powers of impersonation was sec
ond time fully demonstrated at City hall
last night before very appreciative audi
ence. The four characters in Tennyson Is
lyric poem ''Enoch Arden were in turn
assumed by Mr.. Beers and the charac-
terization was such as to bring out hid
den beauties of the text and to impart
additional lustre to the more familiar
passages of the literary masterpiece. His
recital was given infinely modulated voice
with graceful gesticulations and action
admirably suited to the work. The i'm
PRESERVATION was refined and the dramatic
situations were taken advantage of in a
manner to merits the warmest common
dations. His personality was shown
in his easy and ready delineation of those
new phases of character which the 'fGrog-
sellers Fantasmagoria' afforded him.
Without stage settings or the other
usual accessories, Mr.. Beers held the I'M
broken attention of his audience to the
close of his recitals and the fact bespeaks
a talent which is the possession of but
lew. The kaleidoscope pictures were varied
and most acceptable.

day was more than a football
game. It was a lesson in good be
haviour. Even if the game is a
rough one, it tests the temper and
shows the value of keeping cool,
under trying events.
In 1895. one of the American
universities sent its best boats
crew to compete with the English
boatmen. on the Thames. The
crew. on arriving there acted as
if the English boys were their en-
emies. They suspected them,
avoided them and tried to keep
their own ways of rowing pro
found secret. They were badly
beaten in the race. When they
left, the English people were
quite glad enough to get rid of
them and asked if all American
boys behaved as if they had never
been with nice people. The next
year, 1896, another university
sent over a crew to England. 1t
was beaten at Henley. But the
members of the crew met the
English boatmen heartily, con
eealed nothing from them, made
good fellowship the feature of the
meeting and though they quickly
saw that they would be beaten,
they never lost their tempers, and
kept up the best good humor. So
when they were beaten the Eng
lish girls waved Ameri can colors,
and wherever any of the crew APP
peared among those attractive
house boats at the race, they ware
gladly welcomed, and the English
Iswells called them a manly lot
and drank to the health Of the
university. A great English

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Youngsters gave. on Friday last,
on the Punahou football grounds,
an excellent example of good
breeding and sense to one of the
football teams of older boys, who
lost their tempers the other day,
and made good many people un-
comfortable.
The High School youngsters
claimed a foul in the play and as
it was not allowed. at once with
drew from the game But on con
sultation, and after getting some
good advice, they made their pro
test. an allowance was made and
they went on with the game. They

fools of themselves, but submit to

right prevails. The game on Fri
