Umpire, George Fl. Abbott, OF Portland, who
gave the greatest satisfaction, and we heard
him complimented by many as being the best
: Umpire in the State. fa
Scorers, VIM. S. Lowell for Eon Club, and
Fred Fl. Gerrish for Bowdoin.
The awards were not made on the field, but
We r,-s'5ne the first prizes viii be awarded to
Ihe Do"ooih Niiis, -~7 the second to the Eon
Club. - -
1t will be seen that the Bowdoin Nine ear
ries off the Championship of the State by three
runs, while the Eon Club defeated the same
Bowdoin Nine by two runs at the match game
June 24th, The closeness of both games be-
tween these clubs, shows them to be very
evenly matched, and we presume the Eons
viii challenge the winners, and we trust will
regain the championship for our CITY,
The Lincoln and Howard Clubs showed
very fine playing in the morning, and both
games at times, were quite critical. .
We wish our citizens would recollect that a
club coming here from abroad arc entitled TO
special courtesy, and that any expression of
strong sympathy against them will injure the
reputation for liberality of spirit which Port
land enjoys in other matters.

88 9f lN 30N EVENING. w laA
In the evening there were brilliant displays
Of fireworks at the head of State Street, in
front of the City Hall, and at the Observatory
on Munjoy. Each place was thronged with
spectators, who were not only gratifed with
the pyrotechnic display, but also with the
splendid music from the Bands,-one being
Stationed at each point.
There were numerous private displays of
fireworks in various parts of the city, which
added much to the brilliancy of the scene in
the evening.
National salutes were fired and the bells
rung at sunrise, noon and sunset. The ship
ping in the harbor was dressed in the gayest
manner with flags, and hundreds were dis
played throughout the city from stores and
residences. Moody, as usual, dressed the OBJ
servatory in handsome STYLE
The day closed as brilliantly as it opened.
We heard of several slight accidents; but none
that were serious There was the usual
amount of cracker-fring and discharging pis-
tolls and guns in the streets; but we have
heard OF no damage resulting from it.
q Many of our citizens took advantage of the
day to make excursions to the Islands and the
various watering places in the vicinity of
the CITY.
