REUNION 7th MAINE BATTERY.

The remnant of that famous organi
cation, the 7th Maine Battery, was held
on the fair grounds in Lewiston Sept
10th. The military service rendered by
them was at crucial point of the Civil
War and the men who are left are en-.
titled to the fullest need of praise for
the labor they performed.
| I he 18th Maine Light Battery was
raised in the fall of 1868 (more men be-
ing called for and was mustered into
the service of the United States at Au-
gusta Dec. 80, 1868, by Lieut.. j. A. Fes-
sender, mastering officer. 1t was CON-
posed mostly of young men, many OF
whom had never seen PRIOR service.
The battery was organized at Augusta
Jan. l, 1864.
At the time of organization it was
found that a larger number were en-
listed than were entitled to member
ship, $50 being the required number.
and there was considerable rivalry as
to who should constitute that number,
no one desiring to be counted out. And
when the list was finally made up there
were several instances where changes
were made, money being paid to secure
the position of thus following the Stars
and Stripes.
On Feb. /, 1851 the battery was start
ed for Washington, arriving at II a. H.
on Feb. 1. The battery was assigned to
Camp Barry, artillery camp OF lnstruc-
ton.
On April 18th the battery was assign
ed to the 9th Army Corps, then at An
napolis, Md, but joined the corps sub
sequently in transit through Washing
ton, April 25th, and was assigned to the
Sd Division, Brigadier General o. S.
Wilcox. commanding.
At II a. m., April 25th, the battery
broke camp and started for the front.
In the Wilderness, the guns of the
battery went into position for action at
the Lacy house for the first time. At
Spottsy lvania, May 9th, the battery
was assigned to position near the
Gale house, by order of Gen. Wilcox,
and at once opened fire upon the enc
my's lines, the guns bearing Oh point
left of the turnpike leading to Spott-
sylvania court house.
On the morning of the 10th, under a
fire of Shot and shell, two guns were
placed in position on the line of the
2nd division. The battery was moved
to several positions during this engage
ment, and delivered a very effective
fire.
The battery was engaged at various
other points, the next important posi-
ton which it held being at North Anna
river.
The 18th Maine Battery rendered
memorable service at Bethesda church
June Sd, where several men were lost.
Cold Harbor also saw the battery in &C
ton. In. the struggle before Peters
burgh the 18th Maine had position at a
number of strategic points in success
sion.
On July 3Oth, the battery was imme-
diately in front of and 700 yards dis
tant from the celebrated Burnside's
mine. Poplar Spring church was an
other point at which the battery was in
action

A kocKLAND REPRESENTATIVE.

Lucius H. Duncan, who has been re-
elected to the Legislature from Rock
land, is well known in this city and has
many friends here. Mr.. Duncan is a
Democrat, of course. The Rockland
Opinion gives the following sketch of
him:
Mr.. Duncan is G6 years of age, and
as far as ability in business and in pub
lie affairs is concerned, he is in the
prime of life. He is native of Lin
colnville, and served as a member of
the legislature from that district in
1885. He then served on the committee
on fisheries, and was very prominent in
securing legislation greatly needed by
the fishing industry. He is a ship
caulker by trade, and very capable
workman, but for many years been en-
tirely engaged in the salmon fisheries,
his operations being mostly OIL the
Northport shore of PenObscot bay. He
removed to Rockland several years
ago, and resides at Is Achorn street.
He has taken prominent part in Rock
land politics, and while a firm Demo-
crat, commands the confidence and es-
TEEN of his neighbors of all parties.
He was member of the common coun-
Gil in 1906, and last spring was elected
alderman in ward one. He has served
with conspicuous ability and is con-
sidered one of the most level-headed
men in public life here. Mr.. Duncan is
a son of the late Kingsbury and Nancy
(Miller) Duncan, and his wife was for
merly Miss Sybil Sherman.

BANGOR'S PLAY GROUND.
Belfast Might do Something in this Line at
the Park.

Belfast Might do Something in this Line al
the Park.
Bangor people who have interested
themselves in the public playground
idea are we'll pleased with the success
of the project, BangorS first municipal
playground having been in operation
since the latter part of June. With a
small appropriation by the city, a num-
Der of prominent Bangor people have
given much time and money to the
| project. While the city has number
! of parks, portions of which would he
! available, no location could be settled
| upon and finally it was decided to use
the vacant space in Abbott square, the
! High school grounds on Harlow street,
/ These grounds We're fitted with
| swings, sandboXes, tennis grounds,
! tether ball, croquet sets and basket ball,
! mostly by private contributions, the
complete equipment being pronounced
by visitors from other cities to be eX-
cellent.
! Miss Caroline Besarick of Dorches-
ter, Mass. well trained III playground
work, was engaged as director, and has
given the greatest satisfaction, much
of the success of the innovation being
due to her untiring and intelligent
work.
The attendance has been from 100 to
POO children daily, coming from all parts
of the city The play has been varied
with field days, "teas" and parties, and
the interest has not Jagged.
Visitors from other cities have been
surprised, as the great majority OF the
children come we'll dressed and clean;
but for a; city the size of Bangor there
is comparatively little poverty and
, squalor, and while the primary object
OF the playground is to reach the chill
dren of the slums, in Bangor this class
is few and widely scattered.
The work this year has been largely
ex perimental, but with the excellent
results attained the friends of the
movement will work for an extension
next year and to secure additional play
grounds and more liberal approprla-
tons.
| AN endeavor will be made to estab-
| lish playground in the more congest-
ed tenement section of the East Side,
where it will no doubt benefit more
children, many of whom were too small
to come the considerable distance to
the Abbott square ground.
Many objections heard at first have
been overcome and it is believed. that
the cordial support of the city govern.
ment will gradually be secured and
Bangor eventually be fully equipped
with Fairgrounds in different sections
of the city.
Bangor will be represented at the
play congress in New York, DIR. Will
liam G. Peters, one of the prime movers
and most earnest workers for the play
ground, having been appointed by
Mayor Woodman to represent the city.
