TIE NEXT SPEAKER.-A New York paper
contains the following sketch of the three
most prominent candidates for Mr.. Colfax's
place as Speaker of the House,
The rev Speaker, to succeed Colfax, will
come from the East. That is understood. II
will be either Dawes, Blaine, or Pomcroy OF
these, Dawes is the most conscientious, Blaine
the most positive and forcible, and Pomeroy
the most nimble. Massachusetts, Maine and
New York are their respective States. Blaine
is but thirty-eight years old, by birth Penn
sylvanian, whence he emigrated to adopt the
editorial profession at Augusta. He is a long.
faced, able, constant man, with strong com.
bative points of character so that Roscoe
Conkling, in one of the latter's lordly tits OF
arms, struck Baine one day, and found his
hide tongh enough TO SILVER Conkline,s wea-
pom. Blaine has been presiding officer two
years in the Legislature of Maine. He is very
able on the floor, and if elected Speaker would
be missed in debate. sgar
Dawes Is man past the middle age, atten-
tive, nopular, a fast friend, q good man. He
has the inside chance at present having a
record for honesty and impartiality surpassed
by no man in the public service. He also was
at one time newspaper publisher, but is now
a lawyer at Pittsfeld, Massachusetts.
Pomeroy is q small black haired, square.

SATURDAY. was touch dar for base ball play

Saturday was tough day for base ball play
ers, and they must have suffered greatly un-
der such scorcblng heat
In the forenoon match game was played
between the Rising Star and Resoute Clubs
of this city, on the Eon's grounds near the
Arsenal The game was wall contested and
was won by the Rising Stars, who scored 62 to
their opponents 43. Mr.. Frank Abbott of the
Eoa Club acted as Umpire.
The South Berwick Club did not arrive here
till neon, consequently the game between that
Cub and the Ecns was played in the hottest
part Of the day. - number of spectators
was not so large a. j, :9oull have been had the
atmosphere been little cooler, and the game
did not progress SO fast and with spirit, in fact
the players seemed to be wilted before they
had played half the innings. The Academy
Club was not match for the Eons, and they
won an easy victory, the score sta~lding so to
10. They are greatly in need of practice, and
with that we think they would make smart
Club The Eons ut times shew strong play
ing, and when they seemed to exert them
selves it was difficult for the Academy Club to
make their runs. Had they played ia earnest
all through, the score for the Berwick boys
Woulu liaNG pctH SiiidliPT, DuU III times
they did not appear to try, and the strangers
gained many runs which might have been pre-
vented Much fault is found with the Eons
among the spectators for doing this in their
games, and we think it has a tendency to
make them careless when they are playing
with strong nine. The Academy Club played
an even game, and did no. seem to lose their
interest at any time A collation. was given
them at Barnum's at 5 o'clock, and they left
for home in the O'Clock train.
This was not the only victory for the Port
land clubs on that day. The North Stars of
this city were in Lewiston and met the Unions
of that place, who have held the Junior cham
pionship through many hard contested games.
The game was play led in the forenoon, and the
North Stars defeated them by score OF 81 to
to 26, thus winning the Junior championship
and the mounted hat, which they brought to
this city in the afternoon. We are told that
many thousands witnessed this game they
coming in carriages and all kinds of vehicles
from the neighborng towns. As the Unions
received great encouragement from the spec
tators, we think our boys are deserving of
especial praise for doing so well. The bat will
be on exhibition soon in some window. Be-
low we append the score:

that State against Grant and Colfax. Ii

election has had about all the effect it can
have.

for Grant and Colfax in November, and that
onslow stearns of Concord will be elected its
next governor. Both facts will be credita.
