greatest sea bathing resort on the
Atlantic coast and every day thousands
are on the beach either enjoying the
surf which is very high at this place or
promenading to watch the bathers.
On Sunday there is a much larger
throng than any other day on account of
so many coming from Boston and other
large cities for a days pleasure, and the
bathing costumes are among the most
fascnating.and remarkable giving dis
play not seen at any other place, and as
this is something which cannot be seen
at any other place on the Maine coast.

Committee on Lights.

The Committee of the city council on
lights adjourned it's meeting to Monday,
October %, at which time the matter of
renewing the contract for lighting the
city will come up. The present contract
with the Consolidated Electric Light COM
pany expires October 81, and it is pro-
bable that it will be renewed under the
same conditions and with the same com
pany.
The committee has under consideration
the petition of Boston concern for a
hearing. The concern desires to install
for the city an electric plant for lighting
the city building, the Chestnut street
school building, the High school building
and Central Fire station. 1t is claimed
that the city can save money by putting
in plant and manufacturing its own
light but the principal trouble seems to
be about the money for the original cost
of installation, as the regular appropria-
tion for this department is getting low.

The tug James Sampson brought up
the fishing schooner George W. Pierce
Tuesday morning from Long island and
she will fit out for winter fishing. When
near Portland pier the Sampson stopped
miscalculated the distance that the
schooner was from her and the headway
she had attained. At any rate before the
tue could get out of her way the Pierce
struck her squarely astern and jumped
her ahead in way that must have made
some ones teeth rattle. 1t knocked
the smokestack over, broke the whsle off
an splintered her little. Her steam
escaped and the tug G. A. Dickey went
ont to help matters. She took the Pierce
in hand and docked her at Custom house
wharf. While she was doing this the
propeller got caught in line thrown out
from the schooner and she wound several
wards of it round her stern bearing before
she could cut loose. The Sampson was
taken to Central wharf and work begun
at once towards Mrestoringi her to her
normal condition.

Fresh Air Society

The Fresh Air Society recalls with
much pleasure at this time the fact that
in the early years of its work. the illus.
tration OF Ben Hur was given in City
hall for the benefit of this society. Two
or three solos were to be rendered. Miss
Hyde, then in her early teens and with
scarcely any study in vocal culture, con-
sented to give them. Her glorious voice
as nature had given it, filled the hall.
Who is it? Who can it be? was heard on
every side.
That was probably her first appearance
before Portland audience, and in truth
1t was not before tho audience, as
she would not attempt the solos unless
sho could stand just behind the curtain.
The promise of power and richness of
voice then given has been fully realized.

MAINE CENTRAL MEETING.
The Stockholders Come to Portland
Today.

No Extensive Changes in the Officials Ex-
pected-Two New Directors To BE
Chosen, One in Mr.. fuckers Place.
The annual meeting of the Maine Cen
tral Railroad corporation is to be held at
the company's offices in this city this
afternoon at 1.30 p. m. The call does not
specify any business of unusual import
ance. The report of the directors, which
has already been published, will be pre-
sented and the directors for the ensuing
year will be chosen. 1t is understood that
there will not be much other business of
general interest.
Although there have been rumors Of
important changes, it does not seem
probable that any such will take place. 1t
has been reported quite persistently that
Joseph Ell. Manley of Augusta, would be
chosen president. 1t is perfectly safe to
say that there is no truth whatever in
this. President Franklin A. Wilson, the
present incumbent, is an eminent lawyer
and business man, fully qualified for the
place, and moreover possessing the conf
dence of the people of the state. There is
no doubt that he will be retained.
Of the directors there will necessarily
be some changes. The board as at present
constituted is as follows: franklin A.
Wilson, Bangor; Payson Tucker, Port
land, Lucius Tuttle, Boston; Samuel c.
Lawrence, Medford; George NJ. Pullman,
Chicago; William G. Davis, Portland,
Joseph S. Kicker, Deering, Lewis Cass
Ledyard, New York; Henry n. Whitney,
Brookline; Henry r. Reed, Boston;
Waterville; Joseph H. Manley, Augusta.
There will be at least two changes in
this board George M. Pullman died
suddenly in Chicago Monday night. Ex-
General Manager Payson Tucker will
also retire from the board. He has dis
posed of the larger portion of his extensive
holdings of stock.
The officials of the road do not give any
inkling as to those who will succeed
Messrs. Pullman and Tucker. Mr.. Pull
man was one of the men who come in
from the Boston and Maine, and it is
quite probable that his place will be sup
piled from the list of Boston and Maine
directors not already on the Maine Cen
tral. Thus the new directors might be
Richard Olney of Boston, A. W.Sulloway
of N. H Joseph Fl. White of Brookline,
Mass; Walter Hunnewell Of Wellesley
Mass; Aretas Blood of N. g.; Henry S.
Dimmo ock of New York; William Whit
ney of Holyoke, Mass. or George A. Hall
of Springfield, Mass.
The second director will, under the law,
have to be Maine IMAM. 1t might be
supposed that General Manager Evans
might succeed Mr.. Tucker, but there is
difference In the situation. Mr.. Tucker
is understood to have been director be-
cause Of his large holdings of stock rather
than because Of his position as general
manager. There are several large holdings
of stock unrepresented on the board of
directors, notably the stock of the Alden
estate, and the Coburn and Baxter hold
ings. The new director might properly
be selected from the representatives of
some of these holdings.
OF course the block of Boston and
Maine stock will have the selection as it
controls.
