BOSTON, Aug, 2.-The journal Bangor

property of that firm in hopes the Maine
creditors will be given preferences over the
creditors of other states. As regards the
property of the firm in Maine, in that
county the attachments aggregate $72,-

gregate 100000. There is considerable

lieved that no suspension will be forced.
The creditors of the firm in CALAIS, where
the Indebtedness is about 100000, are in
clined to favor the firm in every possible
way. The Journal further says: F. T. &

lack interest. There was large attend
ance, probably 500 people, who expected
to witness closely contested game, but
from the first half of the first innings,
when the Red Caps were retired in one,
two, three order, it was apparent that the
visitors were more than match for the
Red Caps in the general requisites that
make first class club. The Unions are
good, strong batters, and
did splendid work in the
field. Cady, their pitcher, handled the
ball with the skill of an expert, and sent
it through with swiftness and fair deliv-
cry. Horan, behind the bat, did splendid
work, and was charged with only two
passed balls.
The game was called at 80 p. m. by J..
M. Bennett, of Minneapolis, who was
chosen umpire.
The Unions won the toss and sent the
Reds to bat, who were soon retired with
goose egg, and the four following innings
closed with like results. In the sixth in
ding the Reds scored two tallies, Nettleton
getting home on ball which passed the
catcher,a and Lucas scoring run on Barnes
daisy cutter to right field. The seventh
and eighth innings were "Chicagos" for
the Reds, and IN the ninth innings Lawson
added one to the score.
The Unions did some fine playing from
the start, and were careful in every po-
sition, displaying good generalship. One
or two wild throws were charged to their
account, and could the Reds have kept the
advantage they had in the sixth, the result
might have been more even. Werrick
caught splendid fly from Horan's bat.
and was rewarded by hearty cheers from
the crowd. In fact, the Reds have no
reason to be discouraged over the result
OF yesterdays work. They will profit by
their experience with crack clubs, and
the result will be much to their advantage.
Becker played his farewell game yester-
day, and has retired from the club.
There will be new pitcher and catcher in

contest may be expected

NOVEL BET.
While en- route to the course those on
board the Saucy Kate were edited
by an animated controversy be-
tween Mr.. Hanlan, the oarsman.
and Mr.. John O'Brien, the Saltwater
lumberman, which resulted in a novel bet.
While discoursing upon the several
methods of rowing and upon the merits
of the diffrent styles, Mr.. O'Brien remark
ed that he would be willing to wager that
he conld take single scull
shell, devoid of outrigging, and with one
oar, paddle over the lake without upset
ting. Hanlan said he would have to go
him one, and the talk became serious.
Arriving at the course the friends of the
parties got their heads together
and it was agreed that Mr.. O'Brien was to
undertake the feat for wager of not less
than 5000 and more than $1,000. To COM
mence with the latter offered 800 for
Plaisteds shell, to be used in the attempt.
The offer was accepted and the money
turned over.
Last night the parties met at Hotel La
fayette and drew up the foil owing agree
ment:
Wager made this day between Mr.. E. Hanlan
and j. O'Brien: Hanlan bets 5000 that O'Brien
cannot sit OF stand in boat used by Fred Plais-
ted, with riggers off, and without any fixtures
or appliance for keeping boat from turning, and
that he will propel the boat with one of Plais
ted's oars for the space of one minute; the trial
to be made Saturday afternoon, between and
p. m. 1t is agreed that OBrien be given fifteen
minutes from the time he first gets in the boat, to
say he is ready, and the entire minute must be
occupied in open water. It is further agreed
that O'Brien may put in any seat other than that
now used, provided it does not project beyond
the boat. During the time the trial is being
made the oar must not touch the bottom, or any
platform or support.
Judge for O'Brien, Mr.. j. S. O'Brien; for
Hanlan, J. A. st. John, they to select a referes
one hour before the trial.
Fifty dollars is this day deposited in the
hands OF j A. st. John by each party as for
felt, the balance to be deposited an hour before
the trial. Either party failing to deposit for
fits all money up.
