THE CANAL RY BAND.
A Group of Men Who Play Music on Horse
back.

The spectacle Of troop of cavalry trot-
ting over Maine, for that is what Cadt.
Dodd is about to do, will be q sight to
see; something that the state has not wit
messed since the amusing days of the
Madawaska war. But Troop F does
something more than trotting. 1t, like
he old Lady who went to Banbury Cross,
told of by Mother Goose and other as
veracious chroniclers, makes music
wherever it goes.
Portland has been favored by many
military bands in times gone by. Even
some whose hair has not withered recall
Po1enburgs, which came over from the
fort while guns were firing on the Poto-
mac and the Mississippi, and beguiled
the weary time as the bulletins of dead
and wounded came in from the 'front.'
The band of the Third United States
Cavalry will not echo the drum and fife
of the Madawaska masquerade, nor we
must not be pleased to think recall the
sad memories of the civil war.
But when it comes next week it will
bring to Portland the best military music
heard here for many year.

The Fresh Air Society.

The regular meeting of the society will
be held this afternoon at O'Clock in the
Y. NJ. G. A. rooms. There have been
about two hundred aided thus far, either
by transportation and an outing of two
weeks, or by island and car tickets. Mr..
l.. A. Goudy, chairman of the city COM
mittee for the Fourth of July celebration
gave the society $24 from the amount
which was collected. This sum enabled
two tired mothers, upon whom the sup
por to their children depended to have
two weeks in the country with their little
ones. There have been responses to the
appeal for free boarding from East Peru
North Jay, Livermore Falls, South
Bethel, South Bridgton, Strong and
Corinna. May the subscribers to this
charity enjoy their own vacation better
for the help they have given to less
favored ones.

Al pronounced SUCCESS.

The popularity of the week day excur-
sions to the White Mountains was demon
strated Monday morning by the special
train of eight cars well filled with sum
mer pleasure excursionists, who took adj
vantage of the low rate trip to Fabyans
and return, advertised by the Maine Cen
trail railroad. This was SO popular that
there have been several requests that it
be repeated, and we take pleasure in an
nouncing another in our advertising
columns on Friday, August 10, at 81. sc
the round trip, by train leaving Portland
at S.45 a. M, and if this proves as sue
cessful as the other special train will be
started at $40 a. m.
This is one of the most enjoyable trips
that can be made from Portland, and as
low rates are now offered during the
height of the season, the two excursions
run this week offer great attractions to
our summer visitors.

The Bar Picnic.

The members of the Cumberland Bar
and guests took the Aucocisco yesterday
morning and proceeded to Little
Chebeague for the annual picnic. Those
who couldn't go by the first boat went on
the second. Many owing to imperative
business, couldn't go at all. About 45
were present including Judges Webb and
Putnam Of the U. S. court, and all the
supreme court judges except Judge
Emery. The day was spent in pleasant
fashion and more delightful spot cannot
be found for summer outing. A de-
licious dinner was served. There were no
set speeches, the post prandial remarks
being entirely informal. OF course there
were any number of witty stories told for
there is no occasion where more of Their,
are heard than at the bar picnic. Tho
boat reformed about o'clock.

Thursday, August 18th, will be Cover
nor's day at Muster now being held at
the State Capital, and the Maine Central
railroad is offering excursion tickets at
50 the round trip; tickets sold any day
this week except Saturday.
Thursday is, however, considered the
big day as tits. then that the Governor re-
views the troops, and it is most interest
ing sight to witness the dress parade as
there will undoubtedly be about 400
men in line. 1t is also very interesting
to see the soldier boys in camp as strict
military discipline is maintained, MAX
ing this most enjoyable trip.
