A GOLD NINE JOKE MAINE.

tuwn authorities having contracted with
one of the citizens TO build town cis.
tern TOR fire department purposes on the
island occupied by large number OF
f, ench families, it occurred to one OF
the wags in town to have little fun,
and see how much of a stirring up he
could give the Inhabitants upon the ISL
and. Accordingly he got few pieces
OF real golt-oearing quartz from re-
turned Californian, and taking the
bui der of the cistern into his confidence
deposited them during the night in one
OF the seams maze by blasting In the
ledge where the cistern was to be, sew
oral feet below the surface OF the soil.
The next day he was carelessly upon
the spot in good season in the morning,
and lne two made a wonderful diseoY-
eTy-nO less than the finding of real
gol4l A few bits were taken into the
shop of one OF the jewellers, and the
workman on melting it, pronounced it
the real article and no mistake. Ths
news spread like Wiidtire, and, as other
small pieces were found during the
day, the price of real estate began to go
up rapidly long before sunset.

SO far all went well. Then piece was
sent to Bangor, and found to be just as
ami the sponuent of

A Poor Game.

The game played yesterday ty
indeed, while that OF the Chicagoes
was terribly strong. The latter batted
Cummings' curves all over the field, and
generally put the ball in place where
no Red leg was in the way to obsLruct
it's course. Cummings pitching was
weak and careless, as also the support
pf Hastings behind the bat.
The Reds did not make single run in
the first three innings, while in the first
the Oh icagoes made one and in the Sec
Dnd ven.
Tie CInc1nnatls seemed out of gear
altogether. They would stand like sticks
o. wood gazing at the fly balls that were
about to drop into their hands, and
when tue bali was just about to touch
the ground they would make a dive for
it and-miss it. II ball did get into
their hands, they would tumble it, d op
1t, sit down on 1T, pick it up again and
try to throw it, while the Chicagoes
would be running the bases lively and
oven come home on them.
Booth as short.stop could easily have
stopped several corkers that came TO
him by just stepping aside few feet
and getting in trout OF the ball. last
ings several times could have thrown to
second and put out his man. but be was
tJo afraid lest he should throw wide OF
The mark. Wild throws were made by
Manning, Pike and Hastings, and they
were inexcusable and costly oues. 10
