BUFFALO RANCH WILD WEST. The exhibi-
ton in Belfast on Wednesday. June 18th of
Jones Bros Buffalo Ranch Wild West show
promises to be one Of the largest and best that
has come to this town in many years. With
the exciting and sensational features Of the
regular circus, it represents also life on the old
western frontier, with its cowboys, Indians,
Mexicans. scouts, etc. There will be shooting,
lassoing, riding wild horses and exhibition of
Indian warfare. Don't miss the street parade
The show was in Lewiston last Saturday, and
tho
where the show has exhibited this season it
has been we'll received and large crowds have
attended the performances. The Journal but
voices the sentiment of all other New England
papers when it says Jones Brothers have es-
tablished themselves in the hearts of the New
Englanders."
A PRINCESS NO LONGER. The dainty little
steam yacht Princess that was a frequent Wis
itor to this port when owned by the late Ed
win Morey of Boston, one of Castines summer
residents, was bought few years ago by the
Lubec Manufacturing & Canning company and
is now steam herring boat. Her deckhouse
has been taken off the two tapering masts
have been discarded, and the only things show
ing above deck now are the pilot house, the
smokestack, and the stocky mast set just aft
of the pilot house, and having stout gaff for
hosting fish. Below decks she has also been
changed great deal to give room for storing
fish. At present she is in command of Captain
David Haskell of Castine and is cruising along
, the coast stopping at different places where
there are herring weirs, and making arrange
ments with the owners to buy fish.
A DECIDED SUCCESS The 14-foot naphtha
launch built by W. A. Macomber for Edmund
Wilson for use in Quantabacook Pond was put
into the water last Saturday and was tried by
the owner and Mr.. Alexis Gross, machinist,
the next morning and worked perfectly In
the afternoon the writer was one of a party of
FIVE, including Mr.. Gross, who enjoyed three
hours spin in this comfortable and up-to date
craft. 1t an ideal time to try her in
smooth and rough water, through eel grass,
with the current and against it, and the boat
and engine more than met expectations. The
two spins up the Passagassawaukeag river to
the railroad bridge were delightful There is
little or no jar noise to the boat the engine is
covered and the auto stearing gear is within
easy reach of the middle seat, making every
thing as handy as possible. The builder said
he would drink all the water she would take in
and when the landing was made at the Eastern
S. S. Company's wharf at o'clock there was
not spoonful inside the boat. 1t is an ideal
little craft for fishing and pleasure trips on
Quantabacook, where she will be taken some
time this week.
JOSEPH PATTERSON HAS A"BEE" In making
some minor repairs at the Milliken house on
Congress street Jos. G. Patterson had a bee
perhaps we should say bees. 1t appears that
the bees had found their way through hole
under the caves and established themselves
between the plastering in the second story and
the roof, and there they kept up such con-
tinual buzzing that occupant Of the room
would have had no need for an alarm clock
Mr.. Patterson made his plans for getting rid
of the bees without coming into close quarters
with them. He cut out circle ef the plaster
ing in the ceiling the size of section of stove
pipe under what he thought to be the location
of the colony and then lighted sulphur torch
in pan containing water and held it under
the section of pipe. Soon the dead bees began

overhead section of the laths was removed
and the contents of the "hive" taken out
There was good deal of empty comb, the
bees having lived on the contents during the
winter. and some honey. Mr.. Patterson thinks
it would have been a good scheme to have
given the bees plenty of house room and let
them go making honey.

Boston to Baltimore and back to Providence

discouraged and tied up the vessel, sending his
resignation to the owners by mail. The We'll
