OLD time BOAT RACE.
May be Run from St. Louis to
New Orleans. Some
Famous Races.

Sir Thomas Lipton's interest in
az ustic racing has taken new
turn. Ii 10 reported that he has
offered a prize of $4,000 for an
old fashioned steamboat race on
the Mississippi river.
He will impose no conditions, II
10 said, save that the fastest boats
on the river shall contest. III the
offer is accepted it is understood
that the date of the contest will be
fixed 90 No to allow Sir Thomas to
attend while on his trip to the
United States to lift the cup"
The race will probably be from
New Orleans to st. Louis.
The idea of the race came to Sir
Thomas when reading Mark
Twaiu's Life on the Mississippi, !"
in which the old steamboat races
are 30 graphically described.
The simple love of sport is the
sole object of Sir Thomas in Of
sring the prizs. He expects, it is
said, to announce his plan in few
days.
The steamboat record between
New Orleans and 81 Louis is held
by the Robert E. Lee, which made
the trip in 3 days, IL hours and IA
minutes, in the famous race with
the Natchez. The distance 10
about 1900 miles.
There have been many famous
races, many strenuous record

pi.

River men used to say that one

but at that time, they claim the
distance was $50 miles. Her av-
erags speed was, therefore, some
thing under IA 3.S miles per hour.

"First-The effect the press has

New York respects Bryan; South
Carolina honors Senator Hoar.

knowledge of each other. We
may hate those We know; We never
love those We do not know. The
press, which tells us each morning
what all to do and say, helps us to
know each other. New York knows
New Orleans and San Francisco
as we'll as II does Brooklyn. With.
out the press, even with the tele-
graph and post Office, what stran.

are; some defects but many exec l..

ericsn people into a more intimate
acq uaintance, the press has been
making a perfect union.

encouragement and strength of co.

solution Of this problem.

Denman Thompson, Tonight.


What the Bangor paper says about
the play:
Denman Thompson in THE Old
Homestead play that has been be-
fore the public now so many years
that but few of the present generation
of theatre-goers can remember the
date of it's birth-opened his annual
engagement in the Opera house on
Monday night, and was greeted by an
admirable audience-an audience
limited in size only by the capacity of
the. theatre, brilliant fashionable, APP
preciative and composed largely, it is
safe to assume, of those who had
witnessed the production number of
ii times before.
So frequently has Mr.. Thompson
played in the local theatre in seasons
past. so familiar is his performance to
all kinds and conditions of playgoers,
that there is little to be recorded save
the simple fact that he again appeared
as Jncle Joshua before a Bangor au-
dience on Monday night. His virtues
and he has many-are widely recog-
nized; his faults-and he has some
have been long ago forgotten. Mel
lowed, like good wine, with the lapse
of years, ripened rather than weakened
by constant repetition, Mr.. Thompson s
portrayal of the familiar character
stands without an equal of its kind up
on the American stage-a portrayal
finished and perfect, almost as some
faultless, sumptuous painting, upon
which it's Greater has labored lovingly
for years.
The support was unusually capable.
Mr.. Carter and Mr. Clark easily lead
ing among the men, and Miss Kimball
winning much favor among the women
for her excellent portrayal of a minor
part. The stage was adequately,
though by no means elaborately, set.
Curtain rises at sharp.
