The Masonic picnic that was to
have been held last Wednesday, has

ises to be a most enjoyable affair and
we hope to see a large number present.

We are in receipt of the Premium
list for the tenth annual fair of the
Coos and Essex Counties Agricultural
Society, which will be held at the fair
ground, Lancaster, N. H., on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, Sept IS,
II and IS, 1879. This book of 40 pages
is neatly gotten up, well printed, and
reflects great credit upon the publish
er, Mr.. j. S. Peavey, the editor of the
Coos Republican.
In consequence of having inserted
two interesting views of the fishery
question, and the practical letter of
our Wisconsin correspondent, we have
no space for any suggestions of our
own. We are always happy to get
out of the way while our space is
being SO well occupied as it is this
week. We call special attention to
the letter from our old correspondent
who always yields a vigorous pen,
even if he does lean q little to the
home side in his present writing. This
letter cannot fail to be very interesting
to our readers. We shall notice here
after some differences between ours,
and our correspondents views on this
subject.
Our readers will see by q persual of
our advertising columns that Thursday
Aug, 2Sth is the day set apart for "a
day of sport" The programme is an
attractive one, and will doubtless give
general satisfaction. The base ball
match advertised for 10 a. H., will be
between sides chosen for their non
knowledge of the game, while the
competing clubs for the game at . D.
IN. have not as yet been decided upon,
the Grand Trunk Club of this place
however will be one of the competing
parties. The steamer magic" will
run during the day and evening, and
there will also be dance in Bigelow's
hall. The committee on races are G.
N. Chevalier, j. N. Roa2, M. NJ. Ma
son and c. NJ. Dyer. All entries for
the races to be made to j. G. Rawson
Treasurer.
Two games of base ball have recent
ly been played here that have attracted
a good deal of attention. The sides
were chosen from among those who
had either never played base ball OF
had forgotten how to play. OF course
the games caused considerable amuse-
ment to the lockers on, and a great
of lameness and stiffness to
the players. Shortly after the conclu-
sion of the first match we saw one
player bathing his hands with Tincture
of Arnica, another got home by the
aid of walking cane, we editor could
not climb upstairs into his sanctum
and store-keepers who played could
not wait upon their numerous Gus
toners during the evening. Notwith-
all these drawbacks, each
and all of the players were ready for
the second contest that was played
last Saturday. Game commenced at
10 a. m. and lasted till 1915 p. M.
The players were in better trim and
as a consequence the game did not
result in much inconvenience to them.
Space is not at our disposal for a
lengthy description of the games, so
we will just merely say that they were
productive of more uproarious laugh
ter than we have heard in any
entertainments. Mr.. J. C. |
Rawson was umpire, and his decisions
gave great satisfaction.
