Boat Resumed Regular Trips Wednes-

The relief from the strain Of traffic
on the Harpswell line, came yester-
day, when the Sebascodegan, which
was injured last week, went on the
schedule again. Her damages were
considerable, but force of twenty
hve men have been at work since the

ing, SO that the time of lay OF was
considerably reduced. The Aucocis-
CO has had to do the work of two
boats in the meantime, making over
one hundred and forty miles day
On the three round trips. AS the
fog has hung thick. the most Of the
time this work has been an over
strain on Capt. Long and the crew,
but they have stood 1t without a COM
plant, though the days work often
ended as late as $50 in the evening.
This effort has been appreciated by
everyone and the return to the regu.
lar schedule, will be warmly welcom-
ed, as no doubt the loss of the extra
boat has hurt business to a certain
extent. The exemplary handling OF
the SebaScodegan at the time of the
collision has brought forth warm
praise. The following is one
OF many letters received by Capt.

pressed by the passengers:

SHOULD RACE AT HARPSWELL,
1,,, - YACHT cIuas
COOCO HAVE BETTER RACING
CONDITIONS HERE THAN At
6ooTHBAY OR FIVE Is
LANDS.
Effort Will be Made to Provide a Cup.

eHort VIII De Made 70 Provide a Cup.
An effort to induce the feet of the
Marblchead. Corinthian, Boston ard
other yacht clubs of Massachusetts
to rendesvoux at South Harpswelf
next year is being made. 1t has been
well suggested that the harbor here
is far superior and racing conditions
better than at any of the points usu-
ally visited. The fact is. that the gov
ernment chart does not show all the
water that there Is about Potts point
and harbor and larger yachts are a
little shy about entering. The fact
that there is here fine opportunity
for these yachts has never been made
sufficiently known. There was in
the harbor a few weeks ago a ninety
foot sloop of which there are only
about six in the country. The propos-
al to provide a cup to be competed
for by the feet next year will proba-
bly, meet with general approval and II
taken in hand by the right parties
something tangible should be forth
coming. II would be of great advan-
tage to Harpswell could these boats
be brought to end their cruise and
rendesvoux and race here.
