have fair play when the Portland Juniors de-
fea.ed them 10 to l, on Presumpscot Park, and
they wish to get at the Juniors at another
time, when both clubs play their own men and
no others. The writer also. says something
about having fair umpire.

THERE may in the next Centennial be better
hotels than the Windsor, on Fifth Avenue, be-
tween Forty-Sixth and Forty-Seventh streets,
New York, but it is doubtful. If a race with
other wants be created, this thing might be;
and everything the appetite may crave, or the
inner man need, is supplied at once. But as
none will be alive in 1876. it will be well to get
the best we can now, and that may be had at
the aristocratic Windsor.

Having had many years practi-
cal experience in curing and
packing Beef, we became con-
WINGED that it was possible to pre-
pare it in such a form that it
should be more economical and
convenient than it had been, and
as a result placed upon the mar
ket our Cooked Meats, which have
given entire satisfaction, not
withstanding the very severe tests
and unwarranted attempts that
have been made to injure their
reputation. A choice quality Of
meat is cooked, only solid meat is
paid for, with no loss by cooking,
and one pound is equivalent to
more than two pounds of I'M
cooked meat.
The great convenience of hav-
ing in the house delicious cold
meats ready to put on the table
at a moments notice will recon-
mend them to every household,
while the economy in their use is
not the least of their merits.
