1t is probable that but four large vessels
will come here this fall with cargoes of
ice aboard for use in this city during the
time it may be necessary to use ice until
cold weather comes. The four-masted
schooner Thomas s. Dennison will be the
first of the feet to arrive here. She is re-
ported to have sailed from Bath over two
weeks ago and should have been in port
several days ago. She has over 1900 tons
aboard and is expected to arrive before the
end of this week. The Dennison will be
followed closely by the big schooners Helen
II. Taft and Helen Hunt. each with cargoes
of about 1900 tons aboard BY the time
these vessels have unloaded and are ready
to leave the schooner Henry +. kreger will
be due. She will bring a cargo of about
1,5OO tons of the refrigerating material, to
be stored away in the storage plants on
the river front. This will be the first visit
the kreger has ever made to this city.
With the 5,Io0 tons these vessels will bring

plants the Ice companies, 1t is claimed, will
have no difficulty in supplying all demands
for ice until the next shipping season opens
next spring.
