ing in some Of the sights, a few Of which were
r. H. stearns' fne new store, Bryant STRAIT
toms commercial school and the 1915 exposi-
ton that was being held at that time. There
were many things Of interest to be seen at the
latter place, but win only mention the Carts
flying machine which took the first prize
in Paris. The sensation of sailing through
the air may be an enjoyable one, but think
I'm NO sailor either.
On my homeward trip I had planned 70
make . brief visit to an old friend in Portland,
and although It was severe rain storm when
arrived, was met BY her 1t the depot and
was soon welcomed 70 her cosy home situated
In beautiful spot overlooking Deertng park
and large area Of the city besides. Thia be-
ing my nrst visit TO Portland, We spent the
sreater part Of the afternoon around the busi-
ness portion Of the city, nnishing with visit
to the large Wholesale store Of mine host ON
Middle street.
The next morning was clear and more fav-
orable for sight-seeing, % We started ont
again, visiting nrst the public library which
contained many interesting things. Next We
stopped 1t the Maine historical rooms near
tie Longfellow mansion, the site being given
by Longfellcw with the understanding that
suitable building should be erected for the
purpose to which 1t has been dedicated.
Nathan Goold, who IL In charge OF the Long
fellow home, also librarian Of the Maine his
torical socity, was very courteous. and grant
ed ~ special privileges not given to all visit
ors. Many interesting portraits OF noted peo-
pie were 70 be seen, and conspicuous among
the rest was Hne portrait Of Longfellow.
The first thing to attract my attention ON
entering was piece OF wood taken from BEN
edict Arnoid's sloop Enterprise, sunk ct
Grown Point, Lake Champlain. during the
Revolutionary war. 1t was raised the past
year ana placed near the fort. The letter
book Of Benedict Arnold was also to be seen.
A bell from the chapel ut Norridgewock,
erected by Rev. Father Sebastian Rale, French
Jesui. missionary to the Indians from l72o-24,
was the next to claim my attention. Also
OF old coins used by the earlier set
tiers previous to l776 and presented to the So
ciety by DR.. Stevens, OF Castine.
Next was baptismal font used at Cape
Elizabeth by Rev. Robert Jordan previous to
1876. A piece OF the keel from the British
Transport Helena sunk 1t Castine, l77e, under
water over one hundred years, was Of more
than passing interest
