Speaking of the new turbine steamer
the Eastern Steamship Co. is to build for
the Boston and Bangor route the ROckland
Opinion says: sit is probable that, before
long, the passenger and freight business
of this line will be done by separate boats,
in that case the big steamers will not go to
Bangor at all, passengers bound there being
transferred at Belfast to small but swift
river steamers" .,...T The steamer Cimbria,
recently withdrawn from the Bangor and
Bar HarbOr route and which was fitting for
the excursion business, is to go on a route
between Boston and Nahant, and as the

Day was observed this year under most
favorable weather conditions, although the
lateness of the season prevented the usual
floral display, and apple blossoms, hereto

places were closed at l p. m. for the re-
mainder of the day and the public offices,
banks and factories were closed all day In
the morning details from Thomas H. Mar

veterans in all the cemeteries in Belfast
and in the adjoining towns of Belmont,
Morrill,, Northport aud Waldo. Nearly 300
graves were thus marked, of which 100 were
in Grove cemetery, Belfast. The procession
was formed and carried out the line of

could but recall the changes of a few years
The veterans march no longer, and Comrade

low. The singing and flag drill by class
of young misses under the direction of Miss
Lillian Spinney, was very pleasing feature
of the evening. Major Ben. Pitman of Lynn,
Mass, the orator of the day, spoke in gen.
eral way without notes of the deeds of valor
of the Union soldiers and of the good work
done by the women of the north, who gave
both aid and inspiration to the men at the
front. He referred to the Sons of Veterans
| as the boys who must follow after and per-
petuate the memory of the boys who are East
passing away. He drew vivid pictures of
the scenes when the call came for troops
and of the sacrifices made. told of the trials
of the soldiers in the field and expressed his
high appreciation of the manner in which
their memory is honored each year.
