covered two young bears, each upon separate
trees. BE at once went to work and chopped
one of the trees down, and on its fall the cub
was killed. He then felled the other tree and
tempted, i'll spite of young bruins claws and
teeth and snarls, to carry him to camp. He
made slow Roadway, and what was worse, the
old bear, attracted by the cries of its young
Ones put in an appearance and at once began
to show fight. McPhee would not give up the
cub, and with no weapon except club, began
a mastery retreat He had his hands full of
young bear, scratching and snarling, and his
rear was threatened every moment by the old
one. Fortunately, his faithful dog. Major, took
part, in what became running fight. Every
rod or two, the angry beast was stopped by
Major who attacked his rear, and then the bear
would turn upon the dog, and McPhee would
on his side turn and give a stunning blow to
the bear. 1t must have been ludicrous fight
to witness. The dog chasing the bear, the
bear chasing McPhee, and anon the bear chas-
ing the dog, and McPhee putting ia the ticks
upon the head of the bear. For nearly mile
bruin continued the pursuit of her captured
cub, but finally McPhee arrived at his camp
with his prize. McPhee is somewhat TIE worse
for the fight, being severely scratched, about
his arms and body, and had few clothes left,
and what there were, are all tattered and torn.
The cub is now chained to tree. while Nc

day at Presumpscot Park by the Lowells Civ
ing the Resolutes little practice, the first
they have had this season, and the score shows
that they needed it sadly. But eight innings
were played, and the result was 80 to in favor
of the Lowells. The batting of the Lowells
was very heavy AID the fielding of the Reso-
lutes very loose, no less than 80 errors being
marked against them, and they were unable to
hit Foley's pitching at all. OF the six total
bases made. leighton made four. Leighton
pitched in the seventh inning and S.. John
caught, and of the 16 errors charged to the lat
ter's account, Is of them were made in this in-
ming. -Four or five hundred people were inside
the park and endured the weak exhibition of
their favorles with actual composure, Below
is the score.
