cHEsEAGUE WILL HAVE AN IN.
TEREsTING PROGRAM BY
SCHOLARS.

Small but Energetic Graduating Glass.
The graduating class at the Che
beague High School this year num-
bers few scholars only; but their
push and. progress are noticeable in
the arrangement of an interesting
program of exercises in which every
graduating scholar has a part. The
students are all in special course work
and have received more excellent in
struction from the fact of their small
number than can be obtained in many
a large city High School. The school
Is said to- rank extremely well in the
schools of the State. The programs
which are just from the press are neat
and attractive and contain the order
of exercises given below.

ALTERATION OF STEAMBOAT
TIME.
HARPswELL STEAMBOAT COM
PANY WILL RUN FOUR ROUND
TRIPS ONLY.
How the Change May Effect Business.


With the new time table in effect
next Monday the convenience or in
convenience of the new schedule as
compared with the old will be partial
ly demonstrated. The trips are to
give equal service apparently TO ali
landings this year and with some
slight changes will be as adaptable as
any schedule IL seems possible to de-
sise The Bailey Island people are
somewhat put out over the prospect
OF their usual bugbear. the time con-
sumed In going out OF their way to
Orr's Island and the ten minute wait
there, on the second morning trip,
and second afternoon trip. when the
boat. they think. should touch at one
of the Bailey Island landings on the
way back. This however, would
probably be impossible unless some
other landing were cut out on these
trips, the only available one as far as
now seen. being Jenk's, at Great Che
beague, where comparatively little
travel goes. No doubt by q signal

system, this landing could be dropped
on many trips and extra Bailey Island
service given. Cliff Island rejoices in
continuous service this summer for
the first time and duly appreciates IL.
In TACT, the extension of the extra
trips to this island are only TO be at
tributed to the extra running time pro-
vided by dropping the fifth round trip
during the day. so that each steamer
now makes two instead OF two and
one-half round trips. The new ar
rangement will be found on page
eight of this paper. though IL does not
go into effect until next Monday, the
26th.
