we're obliged to stay on the island all

ON HER FIRST TRIP.
Steamer Frank Jones Sailed for Machias-
port Last Night.

At IL o'clock last night the handsome
steamer Frank Jones gave a farewell
foot OF her whistle, cast off her lines
from the State street wharf and started
off on her first trip for Rockland and
Maohiasport. Brilliant with electric
lights anu ladened deep with freight
the handsome vessel rapidly made hel
way out of the harbor and to sea.
:, It is just five years since the city o.
Portland has been connected with tn,
Eastern ports by a steamer Of the line tt
which the Frank Jones belongs. TIL,
steamer City of Richmond formerly raj
from Portland to the east, but until thil
year the Portland wholesale merchants
have been deprived of the privilege Of
steamboat line to Rockland and othel
points in that vicinity. How much they
appreciate steamer which will give
them connection with Rockland and 9th
er points the immense amount of freight
taken ont by the Frank Jones last night
shows.
The steamer ia due to arrive at Ma,
az " WYNN Uontk4Us 040 WILL
sail from that place on Monday at
o clock and is due to reach here at mid
night of the same day in time to connect
with the train for Boston. At Rookland
there is already so much freight piled
up that the steamer would have TO make
two trips to take it all.
She has excellent passenger accommo-
dations, and though it is little early in
the season as yet for many passengers to
take advantage of this comfortable way
of reaching eastern points yet, quite q
number took passage last night on the
Frank Jones.
Connecting with trains which arrive
here from Boston and the west at =
o'clock and II o'clock, and leaving here
after the arrival of the last train, the
Frank Jones will undoubtedly carry
many summer travellers who wish to
reach those popular resorts in and about
Psnobsoot Bay. Capt. 8. q. Bryant
commands this vessel and as more skill
full pilot and careful man is not to be
found on the Maine coast, the passengers
of this steamer have little to fear from
accident A

looked once too often at the wine cup
met with well deserved punishment at
Willard leach Thursday evening. They
arrived at the place just as dancing
party was breaking up and the men in
the hack at once commenced to make in

way home. The countenanee of the
Portland young men were somewhat dis

had sense enough left to offer a humble
apology to the victors of the affray.
