on Thursday. August 9th, at the picnic
grounds of the Maine Central railroad, at
Sebago Lake. They have been given one
half fare for the round trip from all sta
lions between Portland and Conway and
tickets can be bought as early as the Sth
and return can be had upon the same up
to and including the 18th. The commit
tees have made a personal canvass of the
town for names of former residents, and
havs prepared and sent out eight hundred
local invitations to accompany the state
invitations. As these go only to the heads
of families, it means that they have
reached over one thousand people, and
the returns thus far received have been
very gratifying
Those attending are especially desired
TO go on the earlier trains OF the day and
spend the day upon the shores of the
lake. The committee having the matter
in charge viii give opportunity for games
and dancing in the forenoon. There viii
be a picnic dinner in the grove at one
O'Clock, together with preparations for
those who come from longer distances
and to whom it would be inoonvenient to
come SO provided.
The informal literary exercises will oc-
cur at two O'Clock in the grove. A very
pleasing ode has been written for the oc-
casion which Will be sung by a chorus Of
the townspeople who are drilling for that
and other musical numbers. There will
be the reading of an historical article on
6he town, readings and informal speeches
by returning sons and daughters.
There are goodly number of the form
er residents of the town living in Port
land. Many of them have already signitled
their intention to be present and the as
ISOLATION is very DESTROYS that they may
all of them attend on that day and help
to contribute to the social enjoyment OF
the occasion.

WOMEN OF LEISURE.
Century.

care we TO see the complete passing
away Of women of leisure?' There are
moments when one asks himself that
question with genuine apprehension; and
the moments are likely to be most fre-
quent during the holiday months, when
nature herself appears to insist that the
strained chords of life shall be a little
loosened.> TO be a man leisure has al
ways. according to the laws of our ma
tional code, involved latent reproach;
but so powerful is the influence OF the
spirit of the times among US that to be
woman of leisure may soon seem almost
as bad. The women who work in one
way or another, because they must work
to live, are joined in yearly greater NUM-
bers by women who work because they
choose to work in order to be independ-
emit. Outside OF this the clubs and So
oieties that promote literary, patriotic,
philanthropic activities in those who
have no professional labOrs, ana the spell
of outdoor life, and it's vigorous sports,
over women who without these things
would be quite idle, have SO wrought
upon feminine existence that the type of
woman who meets and greets you in the
quiet drawing room as one who has long
days Of repose behind. her, and looks
calmly forward to others of the same
tenor, is becoming rare to the point OF inn
pressing one as an exotic.
tt is unthinkable that anyone should
seriously wish to pick quarrel at this
late day with the new, quicksning inter-
ests of women lives The subject has
passed beyond the province Of discuss
sion, Nevertheless, it is an assured fact
that If we were to have only busy wom-
EN- in the future, and women hurried
and harried, the whole of life would be
incomparably the poorer for us Some
where in the stress and strain of en-
deavOr and advance there must be stop
ping-places where one may rest and
dream little; centers there must be of
some sort where one may mOmentarily
drop out from the moving column, and,
free of the noise and dust, fill one S soul.
There must be b pause now and then.
There must be intervals, however few
and far between, FOR the deeper, stiller
inhalations that bring renewal and re-
freshment, and enable one to start
again, and start straight. Those CEN
ters, those intervals, it has always been
the primary and essential function of
women TO render possible; and 1T must
ever be. 1t belongs to them alone to per-
form that function, and If they omit to
do so there is nothing to make good the
loss.

AZ III L1H EAnADN.
Lieutenant Harry George, the brigade
adJutant OF the fleet, came ashore yester-
day afternoon and IN company with Col.
Il. q. Mlliken OF General Chamberlain
staff went over the proposed route Of the
parade. The details for this parade had
been carefully prepared by General
Chamberlain and even blue prints of the
streets and their measurements We're pro-
vided. No change viii be- made ia the
route of the procession or in It's forma-
ton. The brigade commander from the
fleet, Capt. +. W. Dickens, is to be
mounted on a horse as are all Of his
staff. The brigade VIII bs headed by
band Of its own and viii also be provided
with another band by the committee
WATER FOR THE BLUE JACKETS.
The officers Of the landing party do not
like the idea of allowing their men to
break ranks to get drink OF ice water
on the march as 1t results IN much con-
fusion and great delay to get them into
their formation again. TO obviate this
the officers suggested that men or boys be
stationed at the water tubs on State
street where the halt Is to be made for
rest with buckets to pass the water to the
men. There viii be in all twenty three
companies of blue jackets and marines
and some fifteen hundred men. Not
knowing just how to provide for this
matter the committee called upon Secre-
tary Garland of the Y. n. c. A., who IS
always prepared to do what ne can in the
way OF assisting the blue jackets, and
making them comfortable when ashore.
ar. Garland said that he would under
take TO provide men and boys to pass this
water about to the blue jackets, and he
viii doubtless call upon the young men
and boys of his association to aid him
in this matter.
THE DISTRIBUTION OF TICKETS.
The ladies who have been managing the
Monday evening concert did very hard
days work yesterday. The plan for the
distribution OF riclxets TO this concert 50
that our guests rather than our own peo-
PIE might attend IL, seemed to work very
satisfactorily. Over thres-fourths OF these
tickets were distributed yesterday. The
person obtaining them was asked to give
the name and address Of each guest and
shen receive ticket for each guest and
one in addition. This oocasioned some
murmuring from those who received
tickets, hut when the matter was fully
explained Go them there was little COM
plaint. The distribution Of tickets VIII
begin again this morning at the alder
men room, city building, ut ten O'Clock,
and VIII continue until noon, oommen J.
ing again at three o clock and ending at
i've
The following is a partial list Of the
people who were registered as coming
from other states TO attend Old Home
Week ia Portland This Is not more than
a fourth Of those who were registered yes
terday as it was impossible to obtain a

There Is no QUESTION Of The Success
Of Old Home Heck.
Big Crowds Expected
Today and Sunday.
Details Of the Celebration and
It's Features.

The crowd Of strangers continues to
grow larger in Portland with the arrival
Of every train. There wers not SO many
arrivals yesterday, SO the railroad men
say, as there We're on Thursday. or rs
there VIII be today and sunday. 1t is
safe to say, however. that there are
Thousands OF people IN Portland who
have come here from al parts Of the
country TO participate IN the Old Home
Week exercises and the hotels and the
boarding houses are filled with them
while there are many more the guests Of
friends or relatives IN this city.
There is no question now about the Old
Home Week being a success. The only
doubt in the minds Of the citizens Is how
Theses strangers can be best entertained
and cared Tor while they are IN the city.
Everything that could be done TO provide
for their comfort and amusement has
been attended to. The city is in gala at
tire, nearly every building in the bust
mass portion Of the town being decorated
in some manner while many Of tbs resi-
dences are receiving attention at the
hands Of the decorations. From the pres
enf indications It seems probable that
there VIII be an interesting contest Tor
the prizes which have been offered Tor the
best decorations For example the people
st the West End Of the city are after the
first prize. and Landlord Cashier OF the
Vest End hotel intends to have the honor
Of capturing it II possible. The street
decorations are nearly all in place ana it
has been remarked by a great many that
the city never appeared as much dressed
up rs it does today though it is nothing
to what &c VIII be when the day Of the
great celebration comes around.

VISITING THE SHIPS.

Manv people who desired to avoid the
rush took advantage Of the opportunities
afforded to visit the ships Of the feet
Nearly ali Of the ships received some visi-
tors. but those who were able
to get on board the two new yes
sells, the kentucky ana the Kearsarge did
SO. These ships are By all odds the most
popular ships IN the harbor, because they
are the latest that the navy has put IN
commission and are considered the finest
In the world II every particular. An ex-
cellent opportunity has been afforded
those who wish to take IN a view Of the
entire squadron TO do SO from Fort Allen
park From this PARK the ships may all
be plainly seen and nearer at hand than
they have ever been before. Indeed Adj
miral Farquhar's arrangement of the
ships has been superb. and the picture
presented from the Eastern promenade Is
worth going far TO see All day yesterday
the cars climbing the hill were crowded
and the park was filled with people,
many of whom set their eyes for the first
time upon this prize squadron of the
navy. The real rush for the ships viii
begin this afternoon and tomorrow, when
1t is anticipated that many excursion
trains viii be run into Portland from all
points. Monday and Tuesday win also be
big days and before the visit of the
squadron to this port is over the ships
viii have been seen by many thousands
OF people.
THE MAYORS OFFICIAL VISIT.
Yesterday morning one of the staff off,
GERS OF Admiral Farquhar called on the
mayor at the city building to notify him
officially of the arrival Of the fleet here.
It was arranged that the mayor should
pay his respects to the Admiral at two
o'clock IN the afternoon, and Capt. John
BENNETT kindly placed the Woodbury. at
the Mayors disposal for that visit. Be
sides the Mayor Collector C. NJ. Moses,
Col. +. e. Boothby, Congressman Amos
Allen, Mr.. Leander Fobes and some other
gentlemen made the vsit to the flagship
They were received by thu Admiral in a
most courteous manner and were given
an opportunity of inspecting the flagship
It is expected that Gen. John Il Richards,
adjurant general of the state, viii call
upon the Admiral some time today to
make arrangements for the visit of the
governor of the state to the fleet some
time during their stay in port. Capt
John Dennett has again come to the as
sistance of the state and has offered the
Woodbury. to the governor when he pays
this official call.
THE SEARCH LIGHT EXHIBIT.
The ships of the fleet VIII give an illus
tration of the effective use of their search
lights on Monday evening between the
hours OF eight and nine o'clock. This is
considered by great many people to be
the most interesting feature of the visit
of the ships to Portland. Some of these
big BATTLE ships have four and five sea ch
lights, and these when used collectively
furnish a spectacle which is worth going
many miles to witness.
It has not been positively decided as yet
that the ships will be decorated with cleo
trio lights during this visit to Portland. |
The Admiral, 1t is understood, assured |
the Mayer yesterday that such display
