ANOTHER TRIAL
At LAUNCHING
EVERY EFFORT WAS MADE TO
GET THE GLYNN INTO
THE WATER.

The schooner Glynn is about twen-
ty-fiye feet nearer the water than she
was yesterday morning, the bottle of
champagne has been smashed over
her bow, and she has been duly
christened, but she is still resting
high and dry in her cradle, and it
will now be necessary to have
third launching"
The stage was all set for the launch
ing of the Brunswick schooner again
yesterday morning; another large
crowd was on hand, the schooner was
again gaily decorated while all other
vessels in port were flying their col
ors. but again the Glynn refused to
be launched.
1t seems that this time, however,
it was not altogether the fault of the
schooner, but was caused by a mis-
understanding between the tug boats,
which were to pull on the schooner,
do the showing. The land forces
started to work before the tug boats
were ready to pull, the Glynn started
downward, Miss Annie MaXey smash
ed the bottle OF wine across the
Glynn's bow, and, after sliding about
twenty-five feet the ship came to
dead halt, and try as hard as they
could, the tugs failed to again move
The vessel.
1t has not as yet been definitely de-
ci1Cd when the schooner will he
launched

Tuesday Night.
HEADED FOR PITTSBURG
IS Charged With Whipping and
Kidnapping Youth and Police
Of Many Sections Are on a
Warm Hunt for Him.

Many cities and towns in the state
have held and are going to hold land
shows, product shows, prosperity
weeks, etc, and in every case these
have proved successful beyond all
expectations. For some time MANY of
the merchants of Brunswick have
been discussing the advisiability of
having a prosperity Week" TO begin
at a time one of the big schooners
now in course of construction is
ready for launching. Many of the
merchants fought +he coming of the
recent carnival to the city and would
now file their objections to such q
thing but all talked to seem to take
to the idea of an attraction of this
klnd-scmething which would bring
people to the city for many miles
around. 1t is planned, if the more
ment is successful to have airship
flights, stock and farm exhibits am:
various other things which would at
tract visitors to the city during the
time prosperity Week" would be
held.
In this connection it may be stated
that H. Freeman, who has been here
before, with the recent carnival, has
some propositions to make to the Re-
tail Merchants Association when this
organization meets tomorrow night
and from what he states Brunswick
would certainly benefit by such
celebration.
In the meantime this gentlemen
will appear before the meeting of the
merchants tomorrow night and state
just what he has to suggest.
