An illustrated story appeared in one
of the Portland papers recently giving
a brief history of the old Steamer En-
terprisc, which now lies in the mud at
the head of Long wharf dock, her
seams open and big hole in her
counter. The story relates that in
pre-Nolsted days, in fact a long time
ago the present abandoned coal lighter
was palatial floating barroom, at
tachcd to the celebrated Coney Island
establishment of Harry Hill. There
came spasm of prohibition in New
York. so the story goes. and the boat
fell upon evil times. After lying idle
for a time Capt. Alfred Race purchased
her to go on the line between East
Boothbay, Boothbay Harbor and Port
land. The guided bar was torn out
the boat was rofittcd and rcfurnished
and we'll appointed dining room was
installed. On the old line, established
by Capt. Race, she served for very
many years. A few years ago the
/ Enterprise which had become super
coded by other steamers on the Port
land route was sold for a coal lighter
Finally the heavy coal opened her
sides and she had to be abandoned for
all useful purposes. She has since
becn>at the dock and is now a vcritable
wreck of her former glory.
Capt. Howard Flynn of Machias is
at home after an absence of about 16
months in command of the steamer
City of ST. Joseph. He has in that
time visited many of the Mcditerra-
mean ports. He speaks of conditions
in Egypt, Greece, Italy and other coun-
tries as rapidly returning to normal,
and considers the outlook favorable
for increasing business in shipping
lines.
A petition was extensively signed
recently to establish a rural free de-
livery route between Machias post
office and Hoyttown, Hadleys Lake
and Marshfield. This route, If estab-
lished, will be a great convenience to
the many people on the route.
The "CriminaTs Calendar" so called

and colleges. Already the colleges Of
the West give the major sport letter for
tennis, and the day seems near when
Harvard. Yale. Penn and Princeton will
follow in the same path.
The annual intercollegiate tennis
tournament has been steadily growing
in Importance. The number Of colleges
represented at the recent events are far
more than were thought oc ten years
ago. The championship was inaugu-
'rnted> thirty five years ago and over
that period many future national cham
p!ons he'd the title. Once a national
titleholder went down TO defeat in the
final round Of the intercollegiate sim

BIG CAMPAIGN IS LAUNCHED

Several hundred admirers Of Ocean

honor the coach, Hill Zahn. and mem =

Tended the fair name of Ocean City IN

who were there I'm order to discuss the

in Philadelphia sporting circles, and

and put the affair over in big style.
The plans disclose that a large tract
Of ground covering an entire square
almost in the center of the residential
section has been purchased between
Seventh and Eighth streets Mt Bay ave-
nue.. where the baseball games have re-
Gently been played.
1t is planned to erect clubhouse and
build a grandstand which will accom-
modatc 1000 persons and to place in
Ocean City one of the best baseball
teams along the Atlantic Coast. But
baseball will be only n part of the pro
gram.
Tennis will be another sport to be
promoted and at least n dozen courts
will be laid out. A track will be built
and some of the biggest meets in that
section are planned.
As starter II was announced that
the new fSd would be dedicated on
July with track meet which would
include teams and athletes from over
100 miles around. 1t is expected to be
the biggest sports event on the Fourth
Of July calendar and committee has
already been appointed to work on the
affair.
But the most important part of the
whole program is the raising of the
necessary funds. and this will be the
easiest. Judging by the sentiment dis
played by those in attendance last night.
Subscriptions from diners in the $500
denomination flew thick and fast.
1t was decided to appoint a commit
tee of Philadelphians. headed by Mr..
McClatchy. the local real estate man
and one of Ocean City's residents, to
conduct Il campaign, and according to
Toastmaster Thomas. he saw no reason
why the whole amount should not be
subscribed in one month after the cam
paign was under way.
