The match game of base ball between the

Waterville on the State ground, Monday af-
ternoon, attracted about eight hundred spec

and mad fewer errors been made. The
"Augustas" were especially strong at the
bat, making more base hits than their oppon-
ents, but their errors and lack ot practice
gave the game to the visiting club. The nine

excellent material Brcnnan's superb catch
ing deserves notice. His pluck makes him
one of the strongest men on the nine. The
waterville boys played rather a weak game.
but excelled the home team in fielding. We
think at an early day the Augustus" will
wipe out the defeat by a creditable score
The home club appeared in their tasty ne"
suits of white and red, and made SNOWY ap
pearance Mr.. S. A. Mitchell cut and made
the uniforms for the boys without money and
without price, and they speak well for his
skill in that direction.

According to notice heretofore given, Hal
lowell had made quite extensive preparations
for a celebration on the fourth, but of course
the news of the Presidents assassination put
a stop to all further proceedings. Monday
was beautiful day, and at an early hour a
large crowd of people from the surround
ing country had collected on Water
street and were hurrying back and
forth in search of novelty and
amusement, making inquiries to wheth-
er the celebration would take place or not.
At morning, noon and night the bells were
rung for long time and few other NANTES
tations took place on the part of the young
er populancc. In the evening a few rockets
and candles were sent up by private parties
There is some talk of setting apart day, at
an early date, on which to celebrate, provid-
ed, of course, the President should recover.

any reason for expectation that the Augusta
Soldiers Monument will be completed in

and brought with him for the Halloweii Gran
