Base Ball,

The Resolutes went to Lewiston Saturday
morning to play return game with the Bates
College nine, on the grounds of the Andres
coggins. 1t was expected that Merrill, their
new catcher, would 60 with them, but he failed
to reach the Boston steamer in time, and COM
ing on the morning train of Saturday, reached
Lewiston too late to take part in the game !;
thus the Resolntes attempted to play another
game without a catcher. Bosworth pitched
the first two innings, Leighton catching. On
the third inning leighton took the pitchers po-
sition and pitched the remainder of the game.
Ayres, whose hands were so sore that he hap
been playing in the field came in to catch and
pluckily filled the position to the close 1t was
to be expected he would make many errors IN
der the circumstances, and tho wonder is he
made so few.
1t was arranged that the game should com.
mence sharply at half past one in order to give
the Resolutes time to retarn home on the 4:15
train. but the Bates delayed it until two o clock
for reasons best known to themselves. Mr.,
Knight, of Newport, was selected as umpire,
but some of his decisions did not please the
noisy crowd and he was changed for Mr.. Geo.
Wilson, of the Androscoggns. The Bates
scored four runs in the second inning and one
il the third. They got no more until the last
inning. The Resolutes scored two runs in the
second, fourth, fifth and sixth and single run
iu the seventh and eighth, the score standing 10
to 8 in favor Of the Resolutes at the end of the
eighth inning. 1t was then almost four o'clock
but it was thought the last inning, if played
sharply, could be finished in time to catch the
cars. The Resoluues were retired in one, two,
three order, and the Bates commenced their
last half. Then the Resolutes struck one of
their "streaks" Of errors 1.-THE result mainly of
their haste to finish the game in time to reach
the train), upon which the Bates scored five
runs, none of them earned, thus tying the
game. Two men were out, but there was no
time to finish the nning and the umpire called
the game. The Resolutes tumbled into car
rage and were driven rapidly to the train, fol-
lowed by the boots and yells, and, we regret to
say, more substantial evidence of the displeas-
ure of portion of the crowd.
There were no plays on either side that calls
for special notice. The Resolutes outbatted
their opponents, making Is first base hits, and
a total of IS. The Bates made 10; 8 off of
Bosworth and 7 off of Leighton. The fielding
of the Resolutes was superior to the Bates ex-
cept behind the bat, where 10 Of the % errors
of the Resolutes were made.
We annex the score:

Yarmouth High School.

The Yarmouth High School completed its
third year and graduated its first class last
week. The annual examinations were held on
Thursday; the classes, without exception, ac-
quitting themselves finely and rejecting much
credit upon the principal, Mr.. G. G. Springer,
and his assistant, Miss Alice Blanchard On
Friday evening the Senior and Junior classes
gave an exhibition in Masonic Hall-the men,
bers of the graduating class having original
parts. The hall was tastefully decorated, and
long before the appointed time was filled to its
utmost capacity, many being unable to obtain
seats.
The following is the programme, which was
interspersed with music:

The exerc Uses were in every way success;
the declamations were well delivered, and the
original essays of much more than ordinary
merit. At the close OF the exhibition the
members of the school gave reception to
their friends, which was very pleasant occa-
sion and heartily enjoyed by all.
1t is to be hoped that such an exhibition Of
the progress of the school-so evident to all,
and SO creditable alike to teachers and pupils
will have an enlightening influence on the
minds of those members of the community who
seem content to grope in the darkness of me-
dieval ignorance, and to whose persistent and
unwavering hostility to education we are in
debted for the fact that the Yarmouth High
School is thing of the past. Z.

COLBY UNIyERsTY.-Contrary to the usual
custom, only twelve of the Freshmen viii speak
at the Freshmen exhibition next Wednesday
evening, for the Hamlin prizes. The class
numbers over thirty. A proposition has been
made by the Faculty, to the students, relative
to change of terms, and if it is found that the
greater part of the students favor the change,
it will be adopted. At present, the collegiate
year has been divided into three terms, the long
vacation of ten weeks occurring in the winter.
The new management proposed, is that there
be but one session during the year, from Sep
TENDER to June, with a vacation of four weeks
Under the proposed arrangement, commence
ment would take place during the first week in
June, instead of the last week in July as it does
now. The change will not be made unless the
students clearly demonstrate that it will be for
their interest The present indications are that
the change will be made.

DIR. ScHENcK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. hey are compounded of vegeta-
BILE ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution. Other reme-
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases. and if taken freely by consumptive pa
tlents it must do great injury for its tendency is to
confne the morbid matter to the system, which, Of
course, must make a cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain parti
Gle of opium. 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs, which act on the lungs, liver stomach
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from the body
These are the only means by which Consumption can
| be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cnes which operate in this way, it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine Is ac-
companied by full directions. DIR. Schenck is pre-
fessionally at his principal office, corner Sixth and
Arch Streets Philadelphia, every Monday where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
