Mr.. Damrosch's Recital.

Walter Damrosch's explanatory re-

These recitals are much more than
explanatory. They are vivid dramatic
recitals of stories that never grow old.
Under Mr.. Damrosch's fingers. the
piano is transformed into an orchestra
and even the unframed listener can
recognize the significance of the music
and it's intimate relation to the words.

Wednesday, on business.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1904-06-02

Tuesday the board of State assessors
concluded a trip through oxford and
som, rsct counties for the purpose of
arpraising the wild lands. They met
the owners of the lands and the
county commissioners of both counties.
In every way the trip was Il very sue
ccSsful one and when Clerk Plummer,
of the board. unloaded his grip at the
office on Wednesday morning there
was scores and scores of blanks. all
filled with figures, to pile up upon his
desks and to be properly arranged for
the use of tho assessors in their work.
Mr.. Plummer says that business is
good up through those counties and
that politics are sizzling. All the
towns Of oxford and Somerset and
particularly those along the border are
in very prosperous condition. There
ere many good farms and the owners
find Il ready market for all their pro-
ducts. whether crops or dairy and
poultry. In the winter they have
plenty of work in the woods.
Already there is q big crowd of sum-
NOR visitors in those sections through
which they board has just been and
moro are coming. These men, re-
marked Mr.. Plummer. come down into
Maine ontensible to fish. but the
reality of the thing is that they come
down to get rest from the arduOus
duties Of life and business in the big
cities. In other words coming to Maine
orfssa fishing trip is in many cases
SIMPLY m excuse to get away from the
Ekprly- burly hustle of n big city. Here
Efflny can laZe around good hotels. fine
fcamps or go off into the wilderness
and rough it; they can fish when they
| like or omit it entirely. but they all
| bring a fshorman's outfit SO that they
| can say they are coming fishing.
OF one thing the clerk of the board
| is convinced and that is that Maine is
| not 60 well advertised in the, other
| states as she should be. This is being
done much more extensively now than
| formerly by the railroads, but he feels
| that there ought to be a great deal
more. From talks which he has re-
| Gently had he is firm in the belief that
the ma jority of the people of Massa-
| chuscttS ana New York have but a
faint idea Of what Maine offers as n
| place to spend n summer. If this is
| true of those States it is equally true
| of all others in the nation. Did they
| know about our splendid inland, as
| we'll as seashorc. resorts the volume of
the summer business in Maine would

FASTEST OF THE FLEET,
Eastern Steamship Co.'s New Boat Is a
Beauty as Well as Speedy.

i On Saturday the ]. T. Morse, the
| new Boat which the Eastern Steamship
company has built to replace the old
| MI. Desert on the route between Rock
| land and Bar Harbor, was given her
| trial trip. She proved to be all that
had been anticipated, and more, for
. she developed a speed in excess Of
what her contract called for. She
| easily developed the II knots an hour
| called for and there is no question but
what when put to the test will make
| better than is knots. BY those who
| were on board during the trial run it is
claimed that she is the fastest boat In
| the cOmpany's fleet, a distinction
| previously held by the City of Rock
| land. of the Bangor and Boston route.
/, The j. L. Morse is side-w wheel
steamer PA feet long, 80 feet beam, u
feet depth of hold and a gross tonnage
| of $50. Her engine is of the simple
vertical beam surface condensing
type, having a cylinder 81 inches in
diameter and nine feet stroke. The
paddle wheels are of the featherng
type, % feet in diameter outside of
buckets, with feet 9 inches face. There
are ~ buckets in each wheel. She has
two lobster back return tubular boilers
of marine steel and tested for IS pounds
working pressure.
The test proved the boat to be as
sturdy as a cathedral. There is scarce
ly any vibration. The main deck is
closed in, having a space for freight
forward almost equal to the outside
boats. On this deck the engine room
amidship is encased in iron. Aft is the
dining-room 43 feet long. lighted by low
plate glass windows, affording an I'M
interrupted view of the water and the
shore scenery. Extreme aft is the
ladies' saloon, below which is the la
dies cabin. The kitchen has thorough
ventilation, SO that all suggestion of
cooking odor is eliminated.
A cOmpanionway leads from this deck
to the saloon, which is enclosed in plate
glass, extending from extreme aft for
ward two-thrds of the entire length of
the boat. The remaining space for
ward is open and a walk extends COM
pletely around the boat outside the sa-
loon.
The furniture is of rattan, the up
holstering of leather, the draperieS ana
window shades of valance and silk
velour. There are II tables in the din
ing-room, which will accommodate 81
persons.

Col. Harrington. clerk of the board OF

from a short trip to kineo, where he
went on business connected with the
coming excursion of the Maine Sports
mans Association and incidental to
which he did 4 little fishing. AS usual
the colonel had good luck and brought
home some splendid specimens of trout
4 Boston friend who accompanied
him. however. had the greatest luck OF
the trip. This friend had never before
done any fishing and the first day was
devoted to his getting an idea Of how
to turn n trick with reel. rod and line.
On the second day as they We're head
ing out across the lake the friend re-
marked to the colonel:
I'm going to catch the next fsh,
and am going to hook him by the tail
They laughed and when. n few mo-
mentS later. the Boston man got n
strike he was asked if he had him by
the tail.
"Snre" said he.
For some little time he was kept
busy. When finally the fish was
brought to the surface. where the net
could he slipped under him. sure
enough the fish was hooked by the tail.
Eut that wasn't all. for on the first fly
Of the leader was a second good sized
trout, so that the man frop Boston
felt well satisfied with himself. But
he made no more predictions.
Col. Joseph B. Peaks. whose appoint
ment as chairman of the board of rail-

to the sea the next time mackerel are
reported off this coast and give them a
try. You'll come home convinced.
To be sure, the mackerel fishing off
the coast of Maine isn't anything like
what it used to be and the men who
used to fish for them in the good old
times are few and rapidly growing less
in numbers, still the industry ranks in
Importance in the State. Methods of
fishing have changed in the past so
years, so that the fishermen of thos.
days, who chased the elusive mackerel
and caught barrels and barrels of them
would hardly understand the how of it
now. Steam and gasoline boats have.
for the most part, taken the place of
the fast sailing schooners and sloops Of
the former days and seines and nets
have superseded the old hand lines.
by the last report of the commissip l.
er of sea and shore fisheries the num-
Der OF Maine boats engaged IN mack
ereing is given as 119 at a value Of S1s,-
1870. The total number of persons en-

the Maine men landed 424 600 pounds of
fresh mackerel, valued at $63, 1872 ana
14i4 barrels of salt fish. valued at u.s.
4SI. A part of this mackerel catch for
the year 1902 was landed at ports out
side of Maine.
To those who live along the seashore
and whose memory goes back to the
old times the great decline in mackerel
fishing is the most apparent. To look
at the figures quoted above it seems as
though it was still considerable of a
business with our fishermen. but when
you contrast that la barrels Of salt
mackerel with what used 20 be the cCn-
ditiOn of things then it is seen how it
has declined. Many n man and woman
i'll Maine today can remember the time
Wien, practically. every family along
the coast felt that the winters sup
plies We're Incomplete if they didn't
have n barrel of mackerel in the Gel
lar. These were always caught by the
members of the family and in most OF
them, where they did not make a bust
ness of fishing, they intended to have Il
few barrels to sell or trade for other
supplies. The fishing which secured
this portion of the winters forage was
done nights and mornings. before the
days work was begun and after it was
ended.
In certain parts of the State it is not
uncommon to hear men, who We're boys
then, when they get to talking on this
subject. tell of going out of a night
with their fathers and catching n bar
rel of fish before dark. Such men
mourn for the days which have gone.
Who can blame them?

Within the past week there has
