Borne eaid the Potter bad broken down and there would be no race, which there waan't, we guene, for we have been unable to get one par ticular in regard to it. Both boats lnive many warm friend here, and there were all aort of propoaittona to bet on the outcome, but so far we have policed no one overladen with coin. A near a we can find out aome were afrafd to bet and tbs oUmm were aw folly hd of it. PEKBONAIi AND GENERAL. K, E. Quick waa In Portland lat Wednesday, Mr. J. Q.

The terrible forest fire which was raging near Westport last week i re ported to have destroyed the logging ramp of Charles Forrest. It burned also a number of logging bridges.
