Excerpt from Centennial Celebration at Damariscotta and Newcastle: July 4th, 1876, Together With the Historical Addredd The ger-lorious Centennial Fourth has come and gone, with its sunshine and rain, snap-crackers and tin-horns, over-eating and under-sleeping, and, withal, its general odor of gun-powder and American patriotism. After a sweet sleep of - well, a number - Damariscotta and Newcastle aroused them, selves on this of all years, to the duty of the day, and the bustle of yesterday was the result. The heavy shower of Monday effectually settled the dust and up to between 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when it commenced showering at brief intervals, the 4th was all that could be desired. The sun rose clear and brilliant in an almost cloudless sky and a cool refreshing breeze prevailed. A salute of thirteen guns accompanied by the ringing of the church bells ushered in the day. The Antiques and Horrible parading before half past six many lost sight of one of the most laughable features of the day. The American, Irish, Chinese and Negro were represented in habiliments of extraordinary design. A bass and snare drums and fife accompanied. At 8 o'clock the fresh breeze had created a heavy "chop" on the river, considerably abating the excitement that would have centered in the regatta. But every available nook and corner was occupied -the wharves and vessels, and Main street, from the Newcastle post office to Genthner's block, was black with spectators. Boats lined at Cottrill's wharf. The course was 1 1-2mile. E. H. Winslow and E. C. Woodward entered for single scull race. The signal was given, the start made, but it was evident from the first that the shells would get the worst of it. Both rounded the turning stake. Winslow's boat was half filled with water, and midway on the return he was taken off, his craft just on the point of sinking. Woodward made the course, and was saluted by the band and cheered by the crowd as he came in. There were two entries in the four oared race. One of these backed out and an impromptu crew was made up and went into the race without practice. Both made a good start but it was apparent the practiced men were coming in ahead, as they did. Time 12 minutes 37 seconds. The crew were composed of: Geo. Marshall, stroke; J. L. Thompson, second; Fred Thompson, third; Will Waters, bow; F. H. Converse, coxwain. The name of the winning boat was "Boxer." They were hailed by the band and the spectators as they passed the line. Three entries were made for the tub race: Wm. A. Stetson, M.W. Wyman, A. F. Stetson. The course was from end of Cottrill's wharf to shore at the fish market. Wyman came in first but the two Stetson boys made the fun. A. F. pitched violently and when about half way to the shore his tub overturned, and he went under amid shouts of laughter. He was almost immediately followed by W. A. and another laugh went up. The crowd enjoyed this immensely. The Cornet Band and the Triumph Engine Company of Waldoboro, arrived at 10.22 and were met at the depot by the Damariscotta Band, the Taniscot and Massasoit Engine Co's, and escorted to Lincoln-Block. The procession, which was to have moved at ten, was delayed until eleven o'clock, when line was formed in front of Lincoln and Maine Hotel Blocks and moved as follows: Marshall and Aids. Damariscotta Brass Band. Massasoit Engine Company, of Damariscotta Taniscot Engine Company, of Newcastle. Waldoboro Cornet Band. Triumph Engine Company, of Waldoboro. Municipal Authorities, Citizens. The procession proceeded up Main to Church street, up Church to Elm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of
