Base Ball.

The prospect of a rainy afternoon doubtless
prevented many from witnessing the third
game this season between the Resolubes and
Bowdoins at the Park yesterday, nevertheless
fair crowd was in attendance ahd this general
verdict seemed to be that it was very good
game. The fielding errors Of both mines, how
ever, were far too numerous for first class
clubs, particularly behind the bat Ayres did
very well considering this was the first game
in which he has caught the full nine innings,
and Of course errors were to be expected, but
Jacobs went him one better, which surprised
US.
The pitching of both Leighton and Payson
was very effective, the best batsmen of the
Resolutes failing to hit Payson to any extent,
and the Bowdoins got but four safe hits during
the seven innings leighton pitched. In the
last two innings Bosworth, a young player
lately on the Grafton Juniors of Grafton,
Mass, pitched for the Resolutes, and his pecu-
liar style of pitching pleased the crowd-lnd
the Bowdoins too, for they hit him for three
base hits and two runs.
The game was splendidly umpred by Mr..
Noble, who has no superior as an umpire in
this or any other state. The position Of UNI
pire is one of the most important in game of
base ball, requiring thorough knowledge of
the playing rules, good Judgment and. strict
impartiality in his decisions. These Mr.. Noble
possesses in an eminent degree Gore was suffer-
ing from his sore hand and was unable to play

FsKsT DISTRICT HISTORY.
No Trade in lS50.
PORTLAND. june 81. 1876

PORTLAND, June 81, 1876.
| TO the Editor of the Press:
do not purpose to ask You to insert any ex-
preston of preference as to the Congressional
| nomination, but it does seem as il the claims
made on behalf of York county ought TO be
fairly shown to the people. 1t is claimed that
in 1870 there was an agreement that if York
county would permit Mr.. Lynch to have two
years longer in Congress, Mr.. Lynch and Cum
berland county would concede to whomever
York county should choose, third term
Without saying word about the competency
of anybody to bargain away the rights of the
people to choose their own representatives, it is
sufficient to say that the whole story is false.
1t is an insult to Mr.. Lynch for any man to say
that he was not the choice of the people of this
district except at the expense OF a trade with
York county politicians. Mr. Lynch utterly
and indignantly repudiates any such statement
The truth was that Mr.. Lynch fought the cam
paign of 1870 on a basis which was as honor
able to himself as it was credtable to the peo-
pie who sustained him. He took the ground
that the choice Of the people was not to be be-
slowed by the devices of politicians who desire
to trade away the rights of the citizen. And
he did it in defiance of bolt and and at tie
risk of his election.
The following resolutions, written by Mr..
Lynch himself, received the unanimous vote of
Cumberland county and large part of York,
in fact all of York which was not in with.
drawing convention, over which John II.
Burleigh presided:
ReSOlged That each Congressional District is
a unit, established upon basis OF the whole
population, and entitled to one representative
who shall represent the whole, and any attempt
to limit the choice TO any particular section of
the district would tend to obstruct the free ex-
preston OF the popular will, to create sectional
diseord and strife, and would degrade the office
and endanger the public welfare, by making
the incumbent the representative of local and
private interests instead of the whole consttu-
ency.
Resoloed, That in selecting a candidate to
represent this district in Congress personal
wishes and interests should not be considered
as they have no claim on the constituency but
the interests of the district the state and the
nation only should be considered.
June 30, 1870.
How it is possible for any one VINO reads
these resolutions to say that any one from Cum
berland county, did, after voting for resolutions
so wise and statesmanlke, go out and make
a trade SO utterly inconsistent with them is
more than can be comprehended. Such
statement involves charge of trckery and
dishonesty which cannot be proved against the
political men of that day. 1t is to be hoped
that no one will be deceived by false stories
like the above, which deserve no favor at the
hands of an intelligent people.

Young IN YEARS BUT OLD IN CRIME
Yesterday morning little girl named Julia
WEIGH attacked two smaller children on the
street and took their earrings from them. The
mother of one of the girls chased the young
thief, and capturing her conducted her to the
police station. This is only one of the crimes
this child has been guilty of, who is but thir-
teen years of age. She met two little girls on
the street the other day with doll carriages and
contrved plan to get the carriages from
them. She told them man had Just been
killed around the corner, and offered to look
after the carriages while they went to see the
man. OF course the childrenswent to see the
sight as they were told to, but on returning the
carriages were missing. She has been in the
habit Of visiting the clothes rooms in the sever
al school houses and stealing the pupils clothes.
In this way she has collected quite quantity
of clothing. Her mother is dead and she lives
with an aunt when at home, which is not
very large part Of the time. She is smart and
bright appearing and has not the appearance
of being the thief that she is.

large amount of dry goods which had evil
IDENTIFY been stolen by this girl from

FIRST DAY.


HALLOWELL, June 20.
We gave yesterday an account of the open
ing exercises of the Maine Baptist Missionary
Convention, at Hallowell. After the reading
of the Secretary Annual Report, the Conven-
ton listened to report on the estate of Re-
ligon among the Baptist Churches of Maine"
by the chairman of the committee, Rev. w. T.
Whtmarsh of East Winthrop. The report
was of very encouraging character, and the
Convention united with Rev. W. e. Morse in a
prayer of thanksgiving for the signal NANTES
tations of Divine favor during the past year, in
the large number who have been converted
and added to the churches. A free conference
followed, end short addresses were made on
the subject of the report, by Revs. McWhinnie,
of Portland, Eveleth, of Livermore Falls, Bick-
nell, of Milo, Merrill, of Waterville, Aver, of
Skowhegan, Nugent, of Fayette, Morse of
Friendship, Toman of Dexter, and Higgins of
Charleston. Many touching incidents were re-
lated in regard to the powerful REVEALS which
have blessed the churches'of which the speak
ers are pastors. The discussion was one of ex-
ceeding interest and Of great profit, and will
not soon be forgotten by those who were pres
eat. The report was adopted to be printed in
the minutes of the Convention.
The Treasurer Prof. j. B. Foster, of Water
vile, then made his report, by which it ap
peared that the total receipts for the year were
$10,977.59 for convention work. Various
