years past, the march up Bridge hill being
| a severe tax on the strength of many of
| the veterans. The exercises at Hancock
| hall will be held at 2 o'clock. Ex- Mayor
j. A. Cunningham will preside. There
will be special music, with Mrs. E. J.
Walsh as soloist, and a chorus of young

The gasolene yacht "Tramp'', owned by
Mrs. Mark Hanna, whose summer home is
at Seal Harbor, has been fitting out at the
yard of the Ellsworth Foundry & Machine
| Works, where she has been hauled
through the winter, and sailed yesterday
for Seal Harbor. Capt. Edmund Dodge
and Engineer j. d. Fullerton have been
here three weeks to superintend put
ting the yacht in commission. The yacht
has been fitted with one of Fullerton's
patent propellers for higher speed. This
propeller is the invention Of Engineer Full
| lerton. 1t is not an experiment, having
been thoroughly tested out and has proven
it's value. Vincent Astor's hydro plane is
fitted with Fullerton propellers. This is
a balanced propeller, as the weight does
not overhang the stern bearing, thus TAX
ing the strain off the shaft. A feature of
the propeller is the shape Of the blades, so
formed as to pass over moorings and
through weeds without fouling, and at a
much greater speed than the ordinary
propeller. Engineer Fullerton reports
that in the trip out yesterday the pro-
peller worked smoothly, with entire
absence of vibration.
