STEAMER NOTES. They are talking up
river of another steamboat war, in which
the Barbours and Capt Arey may be par
Elephants. When the Rock land was bought
and went on the Bangor and Brooksville
route, 1t was proposed to put the fremont
on route from Bangor to Stockton Springs,
but this plan having been abandoned it
leaves the fremont without a route and it
is thought she may engage in the excursion
business from Bangor, in opposition to the
Verona, owned by the Barbours of the Bar
Harbor line Up to the present year the
boats of the Brooksvlle line have always
landed at the B. Il B. H. Cos wharf in Ban
gor. This year they use the Dole & Fogg
wharf on the Maine Central. The reason
for the change SO far as can be learned is
disagreement as to the price of wharfage
| which the Arey boats should pay. In re-
turn, so it is said, Arey retaliated by in
creasing wharfage rates at Standpoint,
where he owns the only wharf, to an almost
prohbitive amount so that the Barbour
! boat, which used to run regular excursion
| to that point each Saturday afternoon only
| goes to Verona this year. The Penobscot,
which has been running as freight boat
on the Boston and Bangor route, is to run
| during the summer months between Boston,
| Portland, Eastport, Calais and the Prov
| inces, on the opposite run from the steamer
| ST. CroiX, and taking the place of the Steam
/ er Calvin Austin which has been withdrawn
to go on the direct route between Boston,
| St. John and Halifax. -. The Maine Coast
| Transportation company is running steam
| ers from Boston to Bar Harbor, Southwest
| Harbor, South G0uldSboro and Winter Har-
Dor twice a week. 1t has two boats; the
| Duncan and the Carpenter, of about 800
tons. They carry freight only and the COM
! pany intend to run steamers the entire year,
IA large metallic life-boat was received
/ here last week to add to the equipment of
steamer Castine.. The steamer CaStine
had very busy week last week. Wednes-
day she took party of people from Rock
land to Stockton and moved the family of
George NJ. NOVEL; from Camden to Seven
Hundred Acre island where they have a
summer cottage. Thursday the steamer
was ON the Georges river at the Weymouth
centennial, and Friday she towed the sch.
Almeda Wiley out of the harbor to anchor
age and carried cargo of goods to Isles
boro for a Wight family, which has arrived
for the summer from Massachusetts.
