Will Weshe missed his rowboat from its
mornings well inshore above the steamboat
wharf about one week ago, and had no ex-
pectation of ever seeing it again. Last Sun
day when in the vicinity of Mack's Point
in the Dickey Bros launch Adah, he
saw his boat with man and woman in
it out for row. (This should be pronounced
ROY. Running the launch alongside Weshe
asked the man where he got the boat, and
he said he bought it OF Dark Harbor man
and paid $3.50 for it. Neshe told him he
was sorry for him, but the boat was his.
The man maze no objection to giving it up,
and the boat later was lowed home by the
laun oh.
The Dickey Bros. in their launch Adah,
with Captain T. D. Barr as pilot, went to
Eagle Island Saturday to take out party
to witness yacht race. They did a good
business at Rockland and Camden last week
taking out people to visit the warships,
carrying 81 on one trip.
The series of races being held under the
auspices of the Camden Yacht Club are
proving extremely interesting. The two
cups offered are not won until one yacht
has come in ahead three times, and in both
classes it is still very uncertain. In the
knockabout class the Flicker has now won
two legs and stands good chance to win
the cup offered by Mr.. Kelley, but the Cariad
has won one leg. In the sloOp class the
Petrol, Leila F. and Wawenock each have
won leg and tits hard to tell which will
get the cup.-Camden Herald.

Barr's sloop Fiona, Messrs. Merrill, Dyer,
Adams, Pitcher and Frost, returned last

cruise. They left Belfast the previous Sum-
day but went no farther than CaStine,
spending the night there. The next day
they went to Pulpit Harbor, from there to
Carver's Harbor, then to Crescent Beach
and from there to Camden in time for the
Conway celebration. The next day they
sailed for Isle au Haul, went from there to
Stonington, then into the Reach, calling at
Brooklin. Sunday morning they sailed up
TO Stockton Springs and from there home.
They had reefng breeze with the lee rail
under most of the time, and in the ground
covered within the week certainly beat the
record for local sail yachts.

nual Dirigo day at Dirigo Island and was
