which they kept until they nearly reached

Junior Single Sculls-The contestants
in this race were ]. P. MCCARTHY,
Charles Fairweather and p. j. Foley.
The crews made pretty start and it was
an interesting race. They kept close
together at the start, but Foley finally
gained the lend and kept this position
from start to finish. He was closely fol-
lowed by Mccarthy with Fairweather
well behind. Foley made pretty turn
at the stake boat and ON the home stretch
took it easy until nearing the home
| stretch, when he let himself out and came
in winner in pretty shape, followed by

h Professional Race, Working Boats
There were three crews in this race and
they were made up as follows: Kinsley
and Mat O'Brion, Jack O'Brien and
Black. MCGEE and Lee. O'Brien and
Kinsley pulled a snappy stroke and soon
took the lead, closely followed by Black
and O'Brien, with only about O boats
length between them until they reached
the stake boat. Lee and MCGEE lost two
good lengths at the start by taking the
water in bad shape, but they soon got
down to business and pulled an even
stroke, although well in the rear. The
first two boats turned well together, but
Kinsley and O'Brien gained slowly and
kept well in the lead until about half
| way on the home stretch, when Black
and O'Brien began to slowly creep upon
them and gave them q good second until
! they crossed the line, with very little
open water between them. Kinsley and
O'Brien were first, Black and O'Brien
second, Lee and MCGEE third. Time,

THE PROCESSION.
There was but one opinion heard in
regard to the procession. 1t was one of
the best Portland has very seen whether
on the Fourth of July or any other time
The different divisions were made up of
most attractive material. Even the mar
shals and aides, while their tricoIored
sashes reminded one OF the days of the
French reign of terror when Robespierre
and Danton were at the head of affairs,
yet they were picturesque and added
much to the general effect. The streets
were crammed to repletion, sidewalks and
windows along tie line of march were a
sea of heads, and Royal Scots. Connecti-
cut veterans, and in fact all the bodies
in the parade were warmly oheered and
applauded, which is quite a novelty in
the case CT frigid Portland.
