that the prospect for large orders in

factories all over the country will
put on a greatly augmented force.
And like cheerful news comes in re-

After one of the most heroic strug-
giles in political life, of which We have
any record the famous Agnew- Hart
anti-racetrack gambling bills are now
the laws of the state of New York.
Governor Hughes by his signature,
affixed to each of the bills at $50
p. m, Thursday crowned legisla
tive victory, the brilliancy of which
equalled only by its une xpectedness,
+ is conceded even by those who fought
him in this matter to the last ditch
and beyond. All the forces of the
underworld were arrayed against
Geo. Hughes, whose signal triumph
was at last made possible by the
fidelity of Senator Otto G. Foelker,
who crawled from a sick bed, and
made SO miles railroad journey to
vote, SO weak and distressed in mind
and body, that he appeared on the
verge of utter collapse. This signal
victory against the race gamblers is
another proof that Governor Hughes
is strong man.
The sweet girl graduate now steps
upon the platform, and certainly
deserves the centre of the stagess In
attending these graduating exercises
in some of our towns and cities,
we are tempted to inquire, "Where
are the boys?" The bright, intelli-
gent looking girls are there, but the
boys are "few and far between"
Where are those smart boys who
have come from the lower schools
with so much of promise, passing a
careful and critical examination? A
year or two of close application in
the high school, and they all out by
the way, enter schools of inferior
grade, where they will find no sharp
competition, become clerks in stores,
or loafers about the streets. The
girls generally keep right on though
the four years course, graduating at
it's termination; but it is quite a
novelty when young man is
honored with diploma. This is not
because the girls have more brain
power, but they have a greater
amount of courage and perseverance
/ 1t is we'll, as we stand upon the
threshold of another vacation season,
to call attention to the fact that the
State of Maine contains not less than
5000 streams and 1900 lakes and
ponds, in nearly all of which there
are to be found game fish, from the
thirty pound salmon-which often
brings a dollar or more pound-to
the smallest and juiciest brook trout.
These places are all easily reached
| by railroads and steamboats,. In all
/ these inland towns board at reason
able rates may be found, as well as
all the pleasures and comforts OF
country life. Everything is so inviting
at the present time it seems hard to
conceive how people can stay away
from these great attractions. And
when we come TO the sea coast, there
is nothing like it in all creation, to
| say nothing of the outlying is
lands, dotted with summer cottages.
Neither Bar Harbor or Moosehe
Lake has all the attractions, but in all
the hooks and corners on the coast
are resorts that hold out renewed
life and health to the worn and
weary from the great crowded cities
who come here every year, and re-
turn home with new yigor and
elastic footsteps.
