THE SENATOR HALES.
ELLswoRTH,s FAMOUS RACING
HOSE TEAM.
FASTEST IN THE srATE--sKETCH OF
CAREER AND MANAGEMENT
GETTING IN TRIM.

With the coming OF the hose-racing
season comes the announcement OF the
Senator Hale hose company that 1t will
be In the field this year to try for all the
prizes that it can get, as In previous years,
which, by the way, have been many.
This team is acknowledged to be the
fastest team in Maine. Since its organi-
ration In 1876 1t has had acontipusl round
OF good luck, seldom losing one of either
frst or second prizes.
Taken from the time OF It's organization
the Senator Hsles have won more prizes
than any other team in the State, ~ not
in New England. Nowhere in tue coun-
try is hose racing Understood better than
In Maine, and nowhere Is 1t understood
better than right here In Ellsworth.
ITS HISTORY.

Hates in ie6, Roy J. Goodwin has been the

gsis team into practice, calling 1t out
twice week until the week before the
race, when he has II out every evening,
and the fire company stands behind him
with the money to pay all bills.
II on the day OF the race the company
lifts prize--and 1t generally does--tke
money Is turned over TO tse fire company,
which disposes OF II rs 1t sees fit.
II purse Is lost, the result is the same.
The fire company pays all bills; every man
has good time and II costs him nothing
except the time he puts into practicing.
now IT WORKS
This plan IS somewhat different from
that which other teams adopt. All other
teams of the Stste-the two Brewer
teams excepted-do not think of getting
out for practice until a week before the
race.
The captain then gets to work and hires
as many crack spriuters as are available,
pays them a good salary and expenses,
and niue times out OF ten fails to lift the
prize.
Ii Is not he money that Is put into the
team that lifts the prize but the practice.
A team made up OF eleven aud twelve
second men with a months practice Is
much better than team made up OF ten
and one-fourth and ten and one-half sec.

sroytsGToS, July 20 Especially = The
.ymmer school at Sionlngton Is In session.
STATE Superintendent stetson presides.
a. corps OF instructors are: G. IL. Al
mart. teacher Of pedag ogy and geography
IN the normal school al Bloomsbury, Pa;
and George w. Twitmyer, superintendent
n schools at Wilmington, Del, and w, c.
RATES superlntendent OF schools OF Fail
River, Mass.
Listening to the lectures given by these
mos, able educators, one sees the dawn OF
sbriebttr day for the schools OF Maine.
Mr.. stetson Ia associated With the most
monument educators OF this country In
tsscbers' conventions and other kindred
assemblies. He thinks himself fortunate
in being able to obtain the services
this summer OF these three men,
whom be would choose from nil the edu-
cs,ors Of our country. The teachers as
semped are fortunate above all others IN
being privileged to sit under their in-
s,fuetion.
The standard of the schools which they
wilt teach will be raised higher and higher
BY the influence OF the instruction given
here.
Some OF the ahlest school superinten-
dents In this part OF Maine are present,
drinking Ia every word Of suggestion for
the Improvement of their schools. Happy
are tho children who are to be under their
supervision, for 1t cannot be that these
words will return void.
Would that every school superintendent,
as well as every teacher ia this part OF
Maine were herol The impression here
received would tend to raise the standard
OF our schools.
Besides the direct instruction, the pleas
ant association with the best OF their own
class Is an inspiration to any teacher or
superintendent.
On Wednesday afternoon the citizens OF
Sionington gave the summer school an
excursion on the steamer Estelle Pickert
among the islands In the bay, and clam
bake on beautiful Camp island. The
weather was delightful.
Airs. Violet Goss and her able associates
carried out the planning and providing
very efficiently. The dinner under the
shade trees, with the clans and Holsters
was enjoyed by all. When the steamer
came to take them baek they were loathe
to leave. But all came home In excellent
health and spirits.
All regret that more OF Hancock
eouuty'a superintendents and teachers
were not here.

closed to-day. II Is perhaps the best on
record. Superintendents aud teachers
who did not come have lost mach.

HORSE BREEDERS AssO'N.
Second Annual Meeting To Be Held
in August

Second Annual Meeting To Be Held
in August.
The next big meeting of Importance to
be held in waterville is the second annual
meeting of the Eastern Horse Breeders
association, to be held ut the Central
Maine fair grounds, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, Aug. 8, 10 and II. AT the
first meeting which was held at Maple
wood park, Bangor, last August, eastern
Maine horsemen saw some OF the best
racing ever held at the famous old park,
as we'll as an exhibition OF horsefesh
which every lover OF the animal pro-
CLAIMED to be the best ever seen.
The association has grown since that
time, both in Importance and In notoriety
and the meeting to be held in Waterville
next month will far eclipse the Bangor
meeting.
The horsemen get fair treatment from
the association, and they appre ciate 1t,
as Is shown by the way entries ere pour
ing in for all the various events. In ad.
dition to the races, for which there is
list OF entries which cannot be surpassed
in New England, there is to be horse
show such as has never been seen In the
state. With 5000 offered in purses and
premiums there is every attraction for the
owner of good horses.
Applications for premium lists and stall
room are pouring into the Office of the
treasurer, and the officials OF the associa-
tion are beginning to fear that they will
be unable to accommodate the crowd
which will attend the meeting.
E. II. Greedy, of Ellsworth, is mem Der
of the associations executive committee.

A National Pman.

Walter Alien Rice, OF Buffalo, N. Y,
and Mrs. Rice and three children have
been the guests OF his brother, Harry L.
Rice, OF Ellsworth, for the past week.
Mr. Rice is a native of Bangor. About
three years ago be organized the Pine Tree
club, of Buffalo, which is composed OF
about 100 natives OF Maine, now residents
OF Buffalo.
MIR. Rice is the author of the words of a
new patriotic song, "a Nationsi Paan,"
which has been widely published as a
poem by leading papers in all parts OF the
country.
On july this anthem was sung at the
great Christian Endeavor national con-
vention at Buffalo by a choir of 500 trained
voices, with magnificent effect.
President Roosevelt, ex President Cleve-
land, Senator Frye, and many other prom
imeut men have written MIR. Rice con-
corning the anthem. 1t reads as follows:
Let Us recall colonial days.
When DER the sGas our fathers came;
Let all the people sing In praise
OF those who kindled Freedoms flame.
To break the chains OF tyranny;
What heroes they who led the. call
Thro' dangers dark to Liberty.
Behold amid the wilderness
An altar reared. a dag unfurled.
A nations birth ordained to bless.
America. the new found world
on shields OF gold their names engrave,
Their valiant deeds commemorate;
Long live the flag our fathers gayei
Beneath "old Glory celebrate.
Tho Oft by mighty foes defled.
majestic moves our ship of state;
10 commerce comes across the tide
To Eastern mart and Golden Gate.
Our bounty doth the millions feed,
while countless min wheels swiftly turn,
ana labor wins her rightful need
of al her willing hands may earn.
throughout our land Of liberty
10 al men give their equal rights.
Then everywhere Prosperity
Hil shed her warm refulgent lights.
ihe laws OF man and laws Of God
Ahxe should bless both rich and poor;
Lei Justice ply her Christening rod
ny palace gate or cottage door.
Columbia, the peoples land,
me happy, land our fathers found
ny name adorcd from strand TO strand,
my fame extends the earth around.
AZ freedoms call thy heroes lead,
"nere Asia's glories Ger her play,
'aeath Southern skies black race freed,
Crowned yictors at Manila Bay.

ITS STRONGEST RIVAL
The hardest team to beat the Senators
ever went against was the old Dirigo team
OF Ellsworth. Between these two teams
1t was toss up which was the better.
Between these two teams first and sec
ond money was always lifted at the State
musters. II was largely on this account
that hose racing at the State muster was
abandoned, as no other teams would at
tend, feeling sure that "there would be
nothing DOING.

OF $50, and is slated for races at Rockiand

GRADUATING CLASS
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF
ATHENA PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Opera House Handsomely Decorated
In Glass Colors "A Large
Audience Present.

Tuesday, the last night of the COM
mencement exercises of the Athena
public school, was devoted to the rendi-
ton of the most elaborate and complete
program pertaining to educational fea-
lures that has been witnessed by an
Athena audience in years
The opera house was literally packed
with people, and the large audience was
orderly and listened with rapt attention
to the exercises. Glass colors, white
and green, we're used in profusive dec
oration and we're elaborately arranged
by the teachers of the school, while cut
flowers, many of which came from
Milton and the home of Mrs. Schmitt.
lent brightness of color and attractive
ness to both stage and auditorium.
Long before time for commencement OF
the exercises a continuous string of peo-
pie could be seen vending their way to
the opera house to make sure of securing
seats, many having had the experience
of the tiresome convenience of ''stand-
ing room only" the night before.
After few remarks by Prof. M. L.
Watts, Mrs. j. d. Plamondon gave the
initiatory number on the program. In
her usual creditable and proficient man.
ner she rendered Kunkel's "Germans
Triumphal March at the piano.
An essay by Miss Velma Wilkinson
followed the piano solo. Miss Wilkin-
son took for her subject "The Wheels
OF Time"-a subject deep and with al
most Imitless scope. In composition
and delivery the young lady gave salts
factory evidence OF marked ability, and
the capable manner in which she master
ed the subject was indeed a revelation
to all.
Arthur Stone gave mastery review
of "Education and its History" This
young man read an essay which en-
bodied diction, thought and research
that would easily have made commend
able impression delivered by one older
in years than he. Supplemented with
the notation OF historic research, the
literary embodiment contained in the
composition, together with perfect
grammatical CONSTRUCTION made, tte essay
interesting, entertaining and instruc-
tive.
A vocal solo, Inlay be- was pleasing
ly given by the popular singer, Mrs. M.
w. Smith, Prof. j. s. Henry with Mr..
Fred Ruible at the piano, rendered the
violin obligato. Mrs. Smith responded
with tie "Gondolier" in splendid voice.
Mr.. Will M. Peterson gave the ad-
dress Of the evening, and in his inimit-
able and versatile way pie sed the
audience and gave some sound ideas and
suggestions pertaining to education.
His remarks to pupils, students and
graduates were to the point and con-
tained food for thought and action.
The graduating class for the Athena
High School for 1904 were then given
their diplomas by e. HI. Cation, member
Of the, school board. The members Of
class '04 are Miss Velma Wilkinson,
Miss Carrie Sharp and Mr.. Arthur
Stone. A couple OF songs by the high
school quartet, Misses Eva Rider, Edith
Mcbride, Velma Wilkinson and Ger
trude Luna, closed the exercises.
