 After the adjournment of the con- vention tonight, there was practically no effort on the part of candidates to effect new combinations. The battles were over this morning and the results were published exclusively In The Call this morning. These results were em- bodied in the forecast of the State ticket. and were based, as already indi- cated. on a careful poll and canvass of the convention. The accuracy of the forecast was verified to-day by the nominations made by the convention At this hour, 1:3O o'clock tonight, there is no reason to amend the remainder or the ticket. as published this morning.
 Tonight the streets are crowded with enthusiastic Republicans cheering tnelr nominee for Governor. The delegates to the convention have one more oay of convention life before them and they seem determined to inaugurate ther campaign of enthusiasm before they leave.

SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST.
CHANCE TO OBTAIN A BUSINESS
EDUCATION.
1.-THE AMERICAN" WILL HELP THREE
YOUNG PERSONS TO HELP THEM
SELVES-THIS TELLS HOW.

| Now is the time for Ellswort h Is
young people to hustle for the free tuition
offered by THE AMERICAN at the Shaw
business college. AS previously stated
THE AMERICAN has at its disposal
three scholarships at this college.
By Scholarships is really meant tuition
fee. We have three OF these; one for six
months, worth S4S; one of three mont his
in the stenographic course, worth S32,
and one Of three months in the regular
business course, worth ga That is to
say: Any person going to the Shaw
business college from Ellsworth. or from
anywhere else, would pay those sums for
tuition.
The Shaw business college has branches
at Houlton, Augusta and Portland; it is
one OF the best organizations of the kind
in the State. 1t was established in 1884,
and it has been uniformly successful from
the start. The successful contestants
have their choice Of going to either Of
the above named places.
THE AMERICAN having these "scholar-
ships" at its disposal, offers them to the
three most popular young persons Of Ellis
worth; these three to be determined by
popular vote.
This is voting contest; the prizes are
three scholarships; who shall have these
is to be determined by the votes OF
friends. Below are printed two ballots.
The first ballot cut out of this paper and
sent to this office with the name OF
candidate on 1t will count one.
When one OF the second ballots, accom-
panied by S1.50 and the name of new
81 bscriber, is received it will count thirty.
The contest will close with the last
mail received onJSaturday, Sept. "a, and
the young person in the city of Ellsworth
receiving the largest number of votes will
be entitled to six mont his tuition in the
Shaw business college; the person receiv
ing the second largest number, to three
months tuition in the stenographic
course, and the person receiving the third
largest number to three months tuition
i'll the regular course.
Following are the ballots:
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1898-08-24

Contestants must not expect these
plums to drop right into their laps; work
is necessary, and work will win. Interest
your friends for you; get those of them
who do not take The AMERICAN to sub
scribe for it; they will get their moneys
worth, and will do you good turn at he
same time. II they are already subscrib-
ers, get them to send it to an absent rela-
tive or friend.
1t will not be found difficult to secure
subscriptions to THE AMERICAN. 1t is
admittedly far and away the best paper
printed in the county; in fact, it is the
only county paper. Don't confine your
canvassing to Ellsworth; canvass any
where you happen to be.
If you want any "points" on canvass
ing, call at the office and get them; you
can have all the sample copies you
want.
Here is chance, free for all. Any
Young person who wishes to attend q
business college can save the tuition fee
by putting in little time and work
this summer.
One young man has already begun.
The real contest will not begin until
more than one starts in.

FIELD DAY.
Hancock Pomona Grange at Norton's
Grove, Penobscot.
Especial to THE AMERICAN.

Tuesday, Aug. 16 1895, will long be re-
embered in the annals of Penobscot and
by the grangers especially for one of the
largest and most delightful outdoor
gatherings that ever took place in this
town. 1t was the annual field day of
Hancock Pomona grange, and notices in
print and posted quite generally had ex-
tended an invitation to the general public
to attend and participate in the festivities
OF the occasion.
A few years ago the idea of a field day
was suggested by \. F. Norton, of this
town, and the first meeting was held on
his premises. Each recurring August
since the grangers and farmers generally
have gathered in increasing numbers in
the beautiful and picturesque grove near
the residence of Mr.. Norton, and feasted
both soul and body on the generous sup
plies of both mental and physical food.
The location is singularly attractive and
unique. Mr.. Norton is located about
a mile from the county road leading
from the beautiful village of South Pc
nobscot to North Brooksville. His farm,
which is well kept and for the most part
free from stone, stretches from the crest
of high eminence overlooking the Baga-
duce, which forms a half circle around the
little peninsula down the southerly slope
to the very waters edge, which is lined by
long row OF beautiful beeches and ma
Piles that reflect their verdure- crowned
heads upon the placid waters.
Upon bit Of table-land near the sum-
nit have stood for more than half a CEN
fury the substantial and we'll preserved
farm buildings OF Mr.. Norton. A little to
the westward and few steps in the line
of ascension and you reach the spruce
grove browning the Summit of the emf
nence-the place where the people spread
out in all directions in natures leafy tenn
pie to enjoy field day. \ few steps to the
right now, and you ascend a ladder of
stone fifteen or twenty feet and stand
upon the very@stone cap of the climax.
On this cap formed, rough rock ledge
of half acre. evidently thrown up here
for the benefit of the grange, the field day
exercises take place. Nature has fitted the
place and the farmers have gone up and
taken this Mt. Sinai, and are writing their
laws and history on tablets OF stone. II
the woods were cleared away TO the south,
leaving just enough for refreshing shelter,
giving the gentle zephyrs from all quarters
full play, W lille through the long vistas of
wood glimpses OF water and hill and
mountain and village could be caught, the
place would be most delightful and en-
chanting.

ing to the President and Secretary OF
War.
In Porto Rico the military authorl-
ties are expected to protect lives and
private property and enforce order.
The Secetnry of War believes that in
a few days, at least, oder will be fully
restored In Porto Rico. 4 ,
In Cuba the situation Is different, as
hut few American troops are on the
island, and the guerrlllas are having
full swing. 1t is for this reason that
the President chafes at the conditions
which make 1t dangerous to send Uni
ted States troops to Cuba at once. He
realizes that as long as there is no per-
sonal security in the island outside Of
the Spanish lines that industrial activ-
ity is held in allegiance. Capital will
refrain from entering the island until
1t is absolutely sure OF protection.
Under these circumstances, it may
he thought Necessary to order General
Lees corps to Havana earlier than
was at first intended.
