THE PILOrAGE.
Hearing on Ths. susisss Yesterday ar
ternoon,

At the rooms of the Board Of Trade
yesterday afternoon the committee ap-
pointed at the last meeting 70 consider
the question OF proper pilotage at this
port held q Meeting. Considerable Inter
est was manifested in the meeting and
there was O good attendance several OF
the representatives OF the foreign steam
ship lines being present.. John II. Hum
phrsy was chosen chairman, and Lean
der W. Fobes secretary. The rules drawn
up by the committee were read and dis
cussed. One OF the sections which ellie
tied mucn interest was about the rates
to be charged by pilots In the summer
and winter seasons. MIR. John W. Mus
grave thought that the rates should he no
lower than those that prevail in Boston.
Capt. John Martin said that there was
more danger 10 bringing stfamer into
Portland during the summer season than
during the wints n season on Tut Oh
fozs. Nor did he think 1t would be nc
eFsary to establish an Office for pilots.
In reply to Capt. Keszsr the chairman
STATED that these rules would apply to
piloss or sailing vessels as well as to
ste amers. A pilot abls to han lie sseam-
er could probably handle q sailing YES
sci. Secretary Fotes said that the COM
mittse lad formed the rulss very CAREFUL
ly and at the lest of suggestions.
"what is the cause OF changing the
pilotage conditions as at pressntg' asked
Mr.. Mus0rave.
"There has been considerable disorimi-
nation among the underwriters, replis1
Capt. Humphrey.
"The com nittes do not intent that
there should be compulsory pilotage at
this port said Secretary Fores.
with all of thess steamers coming in
he res sa!d Secretary Rioh, I'VE have
heard It frequently stated that we have
no licensed pilots. There should be
some system whereby pilots should holt
licenses from the Board OF Trade. They
should be reooanlzed by authority as
to their competency"
.'This port Is as good as any" said
Capt. Humphrey. land we want this
fact sent out 1t was stated at the time
the California was wrecked that this
was not q safe port, but that is net 60
There is no better port"
"woul1n't 1t be coed idea to license
only old and expsrieEcsd pilots'i asked
Capt, Keazer.
"If the Californian had gone ont by
Portland Head she would have been
all right slid Capt. John Berry.
"rhat is the proper way to go out OF this
port"
The question OF bonds was then dis
ousEd and Capt. Martin said he would
not be any more careful under bonds
than IL he had no bonds. The present
rates for the pilots are 81 20 foot out,
and 1850 foot in during the summer,
and in tine winter are $500 a foot in and
81 20 a foot out.
Capt. BaIclsy was of the opinion that
the pilots should be qualified TO bring
in any vefssl. This opinion was fully
shared by Mr.. Zenas Thompson.
The committee will meet this after
noon.

A ST. BERNARD
Of Unusual Size and Magnificent Appear
aRCe Presented to Miss Chamberlain.

The unique distinction of possessing
the largest dog in the city can probably
be claimed by Miss Helen Chamberlain.
The animal is St. Bernard and is one
of the most magnificent of the breed,
weighing in the neighborhood of 200
pounds. The canine was the property
of Newcomerstown friends who wished
to remove to Chicago and did not care
to take him with them, so he was sem
to Marietta to take up his residence. II
is s2id that the handsome animal will
become the property of one of Mariet-
ia S prominent social organizations.
