set through DarracottS to Valentines,
thence by the suwmill to Ciroendale,
thence to Putney's. to II very welcome
check at Dumbarton. The dogs were
next cast In at the IIicrholzer place,
and followed on through To Buche's,
thence 10 Brookland, and along to
Westwood to a check at Patterson
Avenue. Then the course lay through
Westview to Colonel Halls. then to a
finish over the jumps in front of the
club. lnGoing over the last jump in
front of the club, Her Grace, with
II. Il. Sydnor up. crashed into the
jump and demolished it. Notwith-

lBolse Statesman


Lewiston can boast of the distinc-
ton of having among its citizens one
whose name has gone forward through
out the civilized world and will stand
there as long as books endure.
In the recently issued biography of
Mark Twain by Albert Blgelow Paine,
the latter makes reference to Mr. Noll-
mer being a companion of Twain on
the trip of 1868 by way of the isthmus.
Mark Twain was returning from u
trip to Europe and met Mr.. Volmer
the day before their boat sailed for the
isthlnus, the two remaining compan-
ions on the 22-day journey to san
Francisco. Twain had with him the
the arrangements of these received his
attention in association with Mr.. Voll~
mer. This publication was short time
later to launch Twain on his road TO
fame. Much of the material for Cap
tain Stormtield's Visit to Heaven" also
received attention on the trip.
Mr.. Volmer speaking yesterday Of
Incidents of the journey said that a
remarkable contradiction In Twains
character was that, while he seemed to
love to perpetrate a joke on another
he was not so appreeiatve when he
was made the butt of some other fell
lows conception of joke. This re-
sentiment, in instances, even went to
the point of permanent estrangement
Mark Twains estrangement was
caused by Mr.. Vollmer inappropriately
exploding a good joke at Twain's ex-
pense in San Francisco and then fall
ing from foolish and boyish pride and
lack of veneration to make some pro-
per and timely apology circumstance
Mr. Vollmer has greatly regretted ever
since.
