Don't forget the "Jollities in the Toy
Makers" at the Opera House, May 18th.

anu Sne was pronounced In excellent con-
dition and given first class rating for an
other year. 1t is the unanimous opinion of
the local volunteer inspectors that this pop
ular excursion boat has never looked better
or been in better trim since she came to
this port. The M. & M. is still the NJ. &
NJ, and not the Stockton, as this paper and
others have previously reported. 1t was
no doubt intended TO change her name but
for some reason it has not been done. When
the Rockland returns to the Bucksport-
Camden route, the M. & NJ. will take the
route of the Golden Rod between Belfast,
Castine and Islesboro while the latter un-
dergoes repairs and renovation. T he
steamer City of Rockland arrived from Bos-
ton last Sunday morning in command of
Capt. William II. Allen, formerly of the In
ternatiOnal division, who has been appoint
ed spare captain on the Bangor division for
the season. Capt. Curtis is laying off for a
week at his home in Camden and will take
the Rockland again next Monday. The
Mineola of the Rockland and Portland
route is at Camden for general repairs and
the MOnhegan is on the route.
SHIPPING ITEMS. We recently printed
from an exchange an item to the effect that
SearspOrt was preparing to celebrate the
Tooth anniversary of the launching of sch.
Friendship. Our Searsport correspondent
writes that there is no movement for such
a celebration and sends US the following
memoranda Friendship list, built in Pros
tn
Boston parties. Friendship End, built in
Prospect, now Searsport, in 1922; lost at
sea-. Five Maine, schooners, all built by
Sawyer Brothers of Milbridge, were recently
in one of the docks at Havana side by side.
They were the Edward II. Blake, Captain
Lowell; Emma S. Lord, Captain Erskine;
Alice Lord, Captain Kelley; Lejok, Captain
Smith, and Sawyer Brothers, Captain Calor.
1t was something of a reunion of Maine
shippers. Capt S. c. Rich has sold the
sch. Maria Webster to his father, Captain
Rich of West fremont. The Webster was
owned for many years by Captain W. W.
Turner, now in sch. Mary J. Elliott. ..Schs

ing stone at Stonington for New York;.

ton last week. Capt. George A. Gilchrest
gave up the command on his arrival from
Bucksport and has since sold the schooner
to Rockport parties. Capt. S. c. Rich
vessel he thinks of buying. She is somewhat
larger than his late command, sch Maria
