He told her she was beautiful,
She frowning babe him go;
She knew he sought her fortune, for
Her glass had told her so;
Still, still he called her beautiful
She knew her face was plain,
For twenty times day. alas!
The truth was told her by the glass
That had no prize to gain
He told her she was beautiful,
NAY, do not jest" she cried;
He told her she was beautiful.
And knew she knew he lied:
Still, still he called her beautiful.
She answered; cease, pray;
Your words are false, as is your heart;

You basely seek to play."
He told her she was beautiful
And. Gliding him, she fed;
He told her she was beautiful
She stopped and turned her head;
Still, still he called her beautiful.
And rushed to where she stayed,
And, prating still about her charms,
He folded her within his arms,
And rapture filed the maid.

Prizes for Largest Fish-speeches
Will Be Made, Tuesday Evening.

kinco, Me-, July 3.-(SpeciaD.-It
has been the best weather for enjoying
ones self here. The weather has been
of the sunshine and shadow kind; first
it was the brightest, sunniest dav YOU
could wish to see, next the rain was
falling in torrents. Still that has not
had a serious effect upon the Sports
mems outing, which began here today.
You can safely set it down that it takes
more than Il rainy day to put Il Maine
sportsman or sportswOman out of gear
or to prevent them from going on trip
which has been planned. They seem to
like it the better. For this reason the
guests who are to be here during the
outing began to arrive on the first boat
up the lake, today, and have been COM
ing ever since. On Monday morning
the big crowd will come The Au-
gusta contingent. which can always be
looked for to make things merry, ar
rived on the Z o'clock boat, last night,
and were warmly welcomed.
To-day there is no program prepared
by the association the order being to go
and make yourself happy. All are try
ing to do it and are succeeding ad-
mirably. Sunday was devoted to
resting up and getting in condition for
the Fourth.
Yes, the Fourth will be celebrated in
style up here. There will be fireworks
and other kind of noise. In reality the

until Monday, though lots of people
have come here, today. The reason for
their coming SO early is that by so do
ing they get a longer time at this most
enjoyable summer resort.
Monday the first of the sporting
events will be had. This will be a race
between the power launches owned on
the lake. 1t has been told in an earlier
edition of the Journal how Il sAbshau-
tial prize had been offered for this con-
test and how it was expected that a
fleet of several boats would take part
in it. This contest will come at 10
O'Clock in the morning and at in the
afternoon there will be Il rifle shooting
match between guides. These, as well
as all other sports will be under the
management of Col. f.. &. harrington
Of Augusta, secretary of the associa-
ton.
