and the concert will be given here Saturday
Dec. 21st, the only date available A feature
of the concert will be the singing of Saliva
tore Giordano, who is pronounced a second
Italian Caruso. At the recent Portland Music
Festival he fairly swept his hearers off their
feet. He has a fine stage presence and "when
ne sang his voice seemed to pour forth in
golden Hood of melody" And it is further
said: at was a blase music-lover who could
listen unmoved to the warm pulsating, mag
netic tones of Giordano." Announcement will

GOOD BYE, SPERANZA. Some years ago the
schooner yacht Speranza, owned by F. W. Hill
OF Bangor, came here at the end of each yacht
ing season and was moored for the winter
above the railroad wharf. Stern lines were
run to the wharf and a gang plank gave easy
access to the craft, which was left in charge
of Capt. John McCauliffe. For three or four
years she lad not left her moorings until last
Saturday, when, having been sold to New York
parties, she was hauled into the stream. Even
with her housed topmasts and canvas-cover-
ed masts she was noble looking craft of the
good old-fashioned type that is fast disappear
ing and soon will be seen no more. Saturday
afternoon tug took her in tow for Rockland,
where she has been hauled out on a marine
railway to be transformed from yacht into "a
fisherman.
The Y. M. C. A. An interested audience
assembled in the Opera House last Sunday
evening to listen to an address by Mr.. Jeffer-
son Smith, State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
1t was first announced as meeting for men
and boys exclusively, but at the Sunday morn
ing services the women and girls of the city
were invited to attend. Mr.. o. E. Frost pre-
sided and spoke of Belfast's need of some pro-
vision for men and boys who do not have the
benefit of a good home. Rev. D. B. Phelan,
pastor of the Methodist church. offered prayer.
and Mr.. E. S. Pitcher, with Mrs. W. B. Fletch-
at the piano, led the congregational singing
Lakie's orchestra rendered several pleasing
selections before the address. Mr.. Smiths
talk was practical and business like He told
of the work being done by the Y. M. C. A.. in
the cities. in the army and navy, in the lumber
cam ps, among sailors, and in fact among men
and boys in every walk of life. Behind this
work are hard headed business men, who
realize the necessity for just such influence as
this association wields, and it is their money
that maintains the Y. M. c. A. buildings to
counteract the pernicious influences of the
saloons. Mr.. Smith told of number of prac-
tical and helpful things done for the boys in
Waterville, Augusta and Portland. The work
is generally maintained independently of the
churches and is always moral and in many
instances a financial success. The meeting
closed with the benediction by Rev. David l.
Wilson of the Congregational church.
