Maine Press in Washington County.

In it's issue of Jan. 5, 1899. The Jour-
nal offered the following suggestions:
The summer excursion of the Maine
Press Association should be made this
year over the new Washington county
railway. Such trip would certainly be
most pleasant and would enable us to
fulfil duty we owe to our State of making
known its resources and advantages.
Washington county has long been com
paratively isolated, reached only by
steamer at one of its ports the year
around, and at another during the sum-
mer months. One could go to Calais by a
round about railway journey which takes
the traveller into New Brunswick, but
otherwise the old fashioned stage coach
must be availed of. The railway now
completed brings Washington county into
close touch with the outer world and
offers new fields for the tourist and the
man of business. The Association might
60 to Eastport, place of historic inter-
est, and have head quarters on the ada
cent island of Campobello, where there
are two summer hotels. From here trips
could be made to St. Andrews and Calais
and to the island of Grand Manan, noted
for its bold scenery. These are details,
however, which could be easily arranged
by the excursion committee. The trip
need not include any water travel, but
those who care for it may try their luck
at deep sea fishing. Those who went on
the excursion TO Machias in 1890 have not
forgotten the kindness and hospitality of
the people of Washington county, and
will be glad to see more of them.
The Maine papers generally seconded
these suggestions, and at the annual meet
ing of the Maine Press Association in All
gusta, Ian. 1919, the above article was in
cluded in the report of the committee on
excursions, and it was unanimously voted
to make the summer excursion to Wash
ington county. Seldom, if ever has there
been such unanmity in deciding upon the
route of the sumner excursion. While
the writer as a native of Washington
county, naturally has a personal interest
in the journey by rail over a section here
tofore traversed many times by stage
coach or private conveyance, he believes
that all who participate in the excursion
will enjoy the visit to section that must
be new TO a majority of them and which
is attractive in many ways.
The party will leave Bangor Monday
July 3lst, at 3. Is p. m, arriving in Ma
chias at & - and remaining there until
Wednesday morning, when they will leave
for Calais. Thursday afternoon they will
90 to PASSPORT by boat from Calais, and
start homeward Saturday morning. AL
though the excursion ends Saturday, ar
rangements will be made for any who
wish to remain over Sunday. There will
be side trips into the Queens domain,
and elsewhere. and delightful excursion
is assured.

very soft ball was used, and ANYTHING
in the shape of a club served for a bat,
according to the players fancy. The
players were chosen by the leaders from
those present and ready to play, alternate
ly, the first choice being decided by
player tossing bat to another, who
caught it by grasping the hand around it,
the leaders would then grasp the bat
alternately, each placing his hand above
the hand of his opponent. He who had
the top hold on the bat had first choice
The thumb could not be placed over the
top of the bat to prevent the other getting
hold, and if one could grasp the bat be-
tween his thumb and forefnger firmly
enough to throw it over his head he was
considered the winner. The choice of the
way.
The game could be played by four, but
any number could take part. The best
players were generally thrower and
catcher, and the Others were stationed
near the goals or in the outfield to chase
out. Sometimes there was a chase out
| behind the catcher. The bail was thrown,
overland, not pitched as at present, and
the player struck over his shoulder If
the striker missed three balls and all
were caught he was out. He could stop
! on tho fret ooal which o1oeo r., ~ n
strikers position, if he chose. Runners
were put out either by being hit by ball
thrown directly at them, or by being
touched by ball in the hands of player.
Three men out on side put the side out,
as in modern base ball. The tally was
kept by cutting notches in the opposite
sides of stick.
Another game which was much in vogue
was called "three old cat.'' When but
three players were present, one would say,
''Three old cat, my first bat" The
others would follow, second and third
the second being catcher and the third
thrower There was but one goal, which
was but short distance away, and when
the batsman hit ball he ran to the goal
and back If he could be hit or touched
by the ball he was out and became thrower,
the former catcher taking the bat and the
thrower becoming catcher. The striker
remained in until he was put out, if it
should be all day. Sometime there would
be more players, in which case the extra
and catcher. When striker was put out
he took the lowest place and only worked
in by degrees as the strikers went out; or,
sometimes the rule was varied, and he
who put man out became striker.

A Great Ocean Race.

a very interesting, close, and exciting
race of three we'll known sailing vessels
was finished July 10TH between Honolulu,
Hawaii and the Delaware Breakwater,
when the bark st. katherine and the ships
W. F. Babcock and |. F. Chapman, in the
order named, came to anchor in the last
named place While in Honolulu the
captains of these ships got together a
sweepst axes purse Of 81 200 to be given to
the one that made the best passage
Between the Sandwich Islands and the
Delaware Breakwater, where they were
all three bourd The first to sail from
Honolulu was the Babcock, which cleared
on March !. A week later the Chapman
got under way, and March 22d the St.
Katherine followed. 1t is unnecessary to
state that the master of each ship did his
level best to reach the destined port in the
shortest possible tile.
Off Cape Horn the st. katherine caught
up with her competitors The Chapman
had overhauled the Babcock while both
were still in the Pacific ocean. From that
time until the vessels dropped anchor in
American waters it can be inferred that
every square inch of sail that could be
carrie d, was carried, and that every par
ticle of wind that could be cajoled into
them, was taken advantage of. The st.
Katherine arrived few hours ahead OF
the Chapman and Babcock, both of which
came to anchor about the same time,
thus ending ore of the most exciting races
of Is, 600 miles that has ever occurred
between sailing vessels. The Katherine il

Old Time Sports.

The articles recently published in The
Journal, the Rockland Courier Gazette
and other papers, on baseball as if was
played in its early days, have created con-
siderable interest, not only among the
players of that time, but also among the
players of to-day. The "reminiscences
also bring to mind the immediate pre-
decessor of base ball OF ground ball." a
game which any number of players from
4 upwards could play. The field was laid

On Minot's Ledge.
Tons of Spray Are Dashed Over the Yer,
Dome of the Famous Lighthouse.

Tons of Spray Are Dashed Over the Very
Dome of the Famous Lighthouse.
Mr.. Gustav kobbe spent a winter night
in the lighthouse on Minot's Ledge Light
house, and got vivid impression of the
exposed situation of the famous beacon off
Cohassett, Mass. This impression he en-
deavors to convey to readers of the August
ST. Nicholas:
Crash.
was sitting one February night in the
watch of Minot's Ledge Light house,
off Cohasset, Massachusetts. With me
was the keeper. We were reading. Sud
denly there came shock as if the heavy
iron doors at the head of the staircase in
the tower had swung to. The tower shook
from base to dome. The wind roared
round the lantern. Droning through it
all was the dismal tolling of the fog bell.
When that crash came | gave start.
thought it was nothing less than some
vessel, lost in the fog, crashing on the
ledge. But the keeper went on reading
quietly. "What was that?' | finally
asked
"Oh," he said, 'shes just taking on a
sea-
He had told me before how in great
storms the waves dash against the tower,
but this was my first actual experience of
Minot's Ledge "taking on sea-"
To understand just what that means,
you must know that Minot's Ledge Light
house is built on rock that is under
waite +, and that, excepting at extreme
| low tide, the gray granite tower is entire
| ly surrounded by water. 1t is the Ameri
can ''Eddystone;' but, if anything, it is
more exposed than that famous light off
the English coast. Outlying lodges some
what protect the Edlystone from heavy
seas, and the rock on which it stands is
above water in all tides, so that it offers
a better foundation than Minot's. This
latter has no protection against the full
sweep of northeaster except ledge
known as the outer Minot and this is
entirely submerged at high tide.
The crash which made me start was re-
peated again and again during the night,
as wave after wave swept in and broke
against the tower. In heavy storms there
are times when from the shore, some miles
distant, Minot's Ledge Light house seems
to be buried by the sea. The waves strike
the tower about twenty feet above the
base, and send tons of spray as high as
twenty-fiy feet above the dome. The
mass of water then comes crashing down
upon the lantern, and, streaming over it,
falls like cataract on the leeWard para
pet and into the ocean. The life boat
which hangs from this parapet, eighty
feet above the sea, would be dashed to
pieces if it were on the weather side.
Even where it hangs now, partly protected
by the tower, it would probably be broken
by the cataract if the plugs were not drawn
from it's bottom to allow the water to run
out freely.

An article on the third page captioned
Hints for Owners Of Shore Property''
contains suggestions and advice that may
be followed, and needed, with profit. The
reference to Capt. Babson recalls a visit
two seasons ago to the summer colony he
has established near Pumpkin Island
light, of which he is the keeper. 1t is
certainly one of the most attractive places
on the Maine coast. The land and the
cottages we were told, belong to Capt.
Babson, and there is a central building
where meals are served, SO that the cot
-r5gels need not undertake housekeeping
Il Mess they chose to do SO. The cottages
age varied in design. Some are near the
shore, Others perched upon rocky heights,
and ali are attractive in appearance and
command charming views of the Reach, of
Cape Rozier, and of Bucks Harbor, oppo
site. There are other points on the Reach,
around Cape Rozier, in Northport, and,
indeed, all along the Maine coast, equal
~ adapted for summer colony. But in
stead of encouraging such colonies it is
oftener the case that they are discourag
ed or prohibited by the excessive price
asked for land. We know of one case in
this vi cinity where by this means sum-
mer resident was lost who would have eX
pended large amount in improve ments
and maintained an extensive establish
