STRANGE WATERING TROUGH.
Odd Use for a Punch Bowl In "a Maine
Town.

The watering trough in Pickering
Square is said to have q more peculiar
history than any similar object in the
State or in New England. II didn't act
as breastwork for military company
during the Revolution or the Rebellion.
and it wasn't moved on a truck to the
scene of some carnival to hold lemonade
as joke. or it didn't held the water that
put out the blaze that would have de-
stroyed Bangor 1t wasn't guilty of any
of these acts, and yet it has had his
tory. Years ago. when Cant Charles
Sanford owned a steamboat hne between
Bangor and Boston, making a trip or two
a week With Squatty steamer, when the
Boston and Bangor Steamship Company.
with its great white flyers. wasn't
thought OF. the friends of the captain and
owner decided that they would make him
an original present on an anniversary.
and they ordered huge granite punch
bowl.
At first 1ne idea of q bowl five feet high
and ten feet in diameter wasn't conceiv-
ed. but it came to the mind of one of the
friends and the order Was changed 50 as
to make the present unheard of dfmen-
sions, and of rough granite. without in
ScriptiOns The people who made it
thought there was something out of the
ordinary in the wind, and they put extra
work into it-they were paid for doing
that same thing. The affair was shipped
to Bangor. and was formally presented

it to Front Street. The captain was sur
prised. but he was his master and made
g very neat speech of acceptance. The
bowl was kept aboard the craft for
week or more. until one day the Cwner
thought he would take it on the wharf.
and with all sorts Of tackle to help. theai
task was commenced. But there was bad
luck following the bowl somewhere. as
at the critical moment / rope parted and
punch bowl and tackle and nearly the
whole crew went into the river at once.
IL stayed where 1t sank for number OF
years, as the fleet of steamers that land
cd at the wharf at that time didn't draw
rs much as they do nov. and the bowl
didn't interfere with navigation.
But Captain Sanford finally decided
that It must come up, and he offered il to
the city as watering trough IL they cared
