Fl. L. Woodcock returned home last week
from a trip to New York with Mr.. E. H.
Blake of Bangor in the steam yacht Aria
In returning to New York after one of the
races the Aria had reached the third posi-
tion in a fleet of 800 excursion boats and
steam yachts, the only two ahead of her be-
ing the beautiful yacht Nourmabel owned
by John Jacob Astor and the steamer North
Star, on board of which were 800 excursion
lists. The party on the Aria saw the Nour-
mabel and North Star collide and with
great presence of mind the captain of the
Aria turned his wheel hard and escaped
the collision. The leaders of the line were
going at the rate of 20 miles an hour and
when the Aria went past the two crafts in
collision, it was her turn to show the others
how to reach New York. This she did in a
splendid manner and went into the harbOr
with a good lead. The Aria showed that
she was as fast as the best of them and her
performance was the subject of much COM

State Convention Incidents.

Miss Emily F. Miller of North Searsmont,
County President of the W. c. I. T., sends
The Journal the following notes on the State
Convention held in Biddeford in September
Miss S. A. Mansur of Monroe was elected
a delegates to the National W. c.. L. U. con-
vention in Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 1920.
Miss Alice III. Moore of Camden is sue
cessful young school teacher, but has re-
fused excellent positions in order to devote
herself to W. c. I. U. work. She was
made State organizer.
To those who believe it is needless to kill
the birds to use in trimming hats, the alb
sence of birds, plumes and feathers was most
gratifying. Another good thing was the
removal of hats and bonnets during the
sessions.
AS the children were gathering for re-
hearsal for the evening exercises, Mrs.
Stevens met little group and said to them,
swell, what are you? Aren't you temper
ance?" ''No," was the answer, we're not
temperance; we're French, reply which
emphasizes the need Of Loyal Temperance
Legions; and of an effort to fit these chill
dren to be loyal American citizens.
Mrs. Stevens often calls the W. C.
I. .. women minute women," for their
readiness in speech or action. This was
we'll illustrated when the prize banner was
awarded for the largest per cent. of gain in
membership. Washington County held it
last year, and no one knew, except the
Treasurer and Mrs. Beedy, where it was
going until the award was made Thursday
evening. In receiving it for Lincoln county,
Miss CHM, the county president, said, ''1f
the laurels must be taken from Washington,
| am glad they go to Lincoln" To the same
county was also given gavel, "for keeps -
as Mrs. Hanson said, in presenting it. 1t is
made from the wood of cherry tree belong
ing to Mrs. Stevens and her sister, in their
childhood. A branch withits fruit is paint
ed upon the prize banner
The bride of the convention, Mrs. Effie
Littlefield Murray, formerly Of Winterport,
is Just as gracious as ever. She and her
husband were present on Y evening and
sage emphasized the spiritual side of our
work, with the etext-"Whatsoever he saith
unto you, do it." Mr.. Murray is secretary
Of The Y. NJ. c. A. in Bath, and while
the BRIDE Sagadahec sans I e0!Gs Mrs. Ittefed
goes to Bath with her daughter.

Rockland's Electrics.

Hon. A. F. Crockett of Rockland, Hon.
II. L. Shepherd of Rockport and Hon.
Fred f. Richards of Portland, directors
of the Rockland, Thomaston & Camden
street railway, have sold their interest in
that road to Gov. Hill of Augusta. This
stock together with that sold to Gov. Hill
by other local shareholders, gives Mr.. Hill
and President Macomber of Augusta a con-
trolling interest in the railway.
The price paid was considerably in excess
of the par value, and there are rumors to
the effect that the stock will eventually
find its way into the hands of Charles W.
Morse, who has lately bought immense val
liable properties in New England.
Hon. W. S. White, Hon. VI. T. Cobb and
Hon. S. M. Bird, the other local directors,
retain their large interest in the road. The
change will not effect the proposed extern
sion to Warren or the proposed through
line to Augusta.
Another electric railroad project being
considered by Hon. W. Dudley Moore and
other Ohio capitalists is that of building an
Independent line from Rockland to South
Thomaston, taking in the several beaches
The preliminary steps have already been
taken.

A petition for salary for the members of
Seaside Hose Co. was granted An order

A bill of the Belfast Water Co. for flush
ing sewers in past years, amounting to
$17.72 was referred to the city solicitor.
The matter of fire escape at the Belfast
Opera House was discussed in the Board of
Aldermen. The proposition was made to
substitute inside stairs for an outside fire
escape. No action was taken, the members
thinking it best to let the former order
stand.
A petition was received from Mrs. Mary
L. Patterson for the removal of a telephone
pole from in front of her house on Union
street, and hearing was ordered to be held
at the next regular meeting of the Board of

Columbia the Gem of the Ocean"

Sir Thomas Upton is perfect gentleman
and real sportsman, but he will not take
the cup back with him. The Shamrock is a
good boat but the Columbia is better one
Sir Thomas can afford to spend his money
lavishly but the America cup is not to be
bought any more than American pride and
loyalty which are beyond price The last
race Friday was as fair as the first two and
was won by the Columbia on time allow
ance. The thousands brought over by the
agent of the Ulster Y 1acht Club for betting
purposes will go into circulation in this coun-
York Yacht club Sir Thomas said
'Gentlemen, it was a fair beat. | want to
say again that you have treated me with the
utmost fairness and courtesy. You have
met every wish of mine and from my heart
thank YOU
Commodore Lewis Cass Ledyard, chair
man of the New York Yacht Club regatta
committee. replied
''Sir Thomas, we have never had truer
sportsman TO deal with
Many of Sir Thomas guests on board the
Erin crowded around to express their sym
pathy with his defeat and assured him of
the high place he had won in the hearts of
al Americans.
When a man wins heart he has won
more than cup, said one of them.
There We're tears in the Irish Baronet's S
eyes when he thanked them for their kind
words. When asked about his plans for
the future he said: "It is too early to talk
about any plans. About the Shamrock, |
cannot decide yet what l shall do and as to
challenging again it is too soon to think
about it,
E. D. Morgan, the manager of the Col

We had splendid captain and splendid

Captain Barr said "We did the best we
could and they did the best they could and
we came out first. That's ALL"
