Old Home Week.

Portland is about the only city that
has made any definite movement toward
the celebration OF Old Home week, but
that city has taken hold with its accus-
toned vigor and expects a big time.
The plan is to merge Fourth of July
with Old Home Week and have a grand
celebration for which great preparations
are being made.
The city council has appropriated five
thousand dollars, which ia ample for the
purpose, considering that the merchants
and philosophical Hen are to raise a
considerable sum by subscription to add
to the city's appropriation.
1t is expected that Secretary Of the
Navy John d. Long is to deliver the
address of welcome. Ex-Governor
Black of New York, Governor Pingree
of Michigan, President Ingalls, of the
Big Four Railroad and Chief Justice
Fuller o the United States Supreme
Court, all natives of Maine, are to be-
among the guests. There will be q
parade Of the militia, the sailors from
the North Atlantic squadron, which Ia to
be in Portland for the occasion, the
bicyclists, the trades and schools, and a
water parade in the evening.

The Lever came out last week. 1t

One of the most interesting athletic
meets ever held between the classes of
the S. H. s., occurred last Saturday
afternoon at Fairview Park, which re-
suited in a victory for the senior class.
/ In reality it was to see who were best
| qualified for the invitation meet to be
held at Brunswick, between the high
and fitting schools throughout the State.
Many good records were made and some
excellent material was brought out
especially in Thomas, '03. who won the
mile run aud Hoyt, 90 was good
second an especially strong runner.
The excellent work of Parker '0e. and
i Harville was especially noticeable.
Stinchfield, 90, made a fine showing in
the shot put and also Marstou, OF, in
throwing the hammer. Jewett, 03. and
Merrill, 90, proved themselves valuable
men in on, -half and one quarter mile
/ runs. Bigelow. OF, did not do AS much
as was expected, as he was on the sick
list but he will be in good condition by
