Indian Summer.

When the old dream returns
To the unnumbered hills,
When summers red FIRE burns
Above earth's myriad rills.
o heart, how comes once more
An old dream TO thy doorl
When for a little space
The sad world wakes again,
And golden summers face
Smiles through the mist and rain.
o heart. how soon a song
Comes back, forgotten long,
When shines. through autumn dark
The vanished June's young fire,
And lighted is the spark
or lost youth and desire.

Across the years far track!

the distance In Is minutes. or
at the rate OF IL miles an hour. The
Oil May was a close second with the
record Of 16 minutes. the distance Is
2 miles each way. The
Pauline Is considered the fastest in
Casco Bay. She Is 33ft. s In. over all ana
Is undoubtedly the best fitted launch OF
her size. Sh has Palmer engine or

the plotting with knowledge OF the

safe tosay that the Pauline" Is the
best there Is.
The Oil May is one of the best
Hampton fishing boats there is. She
Is very strongly built: she Is &c feet all
over all and Is owned by Jake Bailey
of Basin point. She has a Knox en-.
CINE Of 6h horse p over. therefore
this race was to determine which is
the best make, the Palmer or Knox
engines. The Oil May has a slight
