Practically, there is no sweet corn
planted on account of the long-continued
rains and both packers and farmers have
reason to feel discouraged. We are within
a few days of the limit of time for plant
ing, and dnder the most favorable condit-
ions it will take some time to dry the
ground so as to be fit for seed. Further,
seed fit for planting is very scarce, al
most impossible to obtain, and this, in
addition to the above condition, makes
it sure that the Maine pack will be less
than usual.
Potatoes have been $50 run the reports
from several sections) not only planted
and replanted, but replanted yet a second

ers of the state for planting 10, 600 acres of

sistent unfavorable weather, not single

James e. Greensnith, William Fl. MouI-
ton and Addison S. Thayer were appoint
ed committee to express sorrow that is
| felt by the club, in the sudden death of
their fellow member, William Lawrence
Dana:
In attempting to voice, or even to give
any utterance to the sympathy which the
Portland Athletic club feel with loss that
is occasioned by the death of their fellow
member and associate, William Lawrence
Dana, we realize how inadequate Ian
guage is to convey such expressions.
We have lost one of our most useful and
active members, who had been connected
with the management of the club from
it's organization. Himself an athlete of
no mean order, he gave up much of his
time in the endeavor to promote the in
terests of the various branches of athletics
and sports embraced by the club
Our friend e1emplified to his fellow
members and to all who met him, the
maxim Glove for all and malice toward
none" and he possessed in large de
gree the many good qualities that 90 to
make I'D the manly man and the good
citizen in their most active requirements,
Socially his natural gifts and his courte
Gus disposition made his acquaintance
sought after and desired by all, and his
Influence and memory will long remair
in the hearts and lives Of his friends.
TO his parents and family we extend
the most heartfelt sympathy for tbe
great and irreparable loss which they
have so suddenly been called mon r.
mourn; but we extend the hope that ther
is some solace for them in the knowle il
that the home training and famih. III
did much to develop and mould fbas
traits of character which made william Sliar
Lawrence Dana SO universally beloved
and respected.
