LADIES' DAY ON THE PORTLAND GROUNDS.
OLD ORCHARDS 8, FOREST olrYs 2,


The game at Forest City rink last night between
the above named clubs was disappointment to the
friends of the home club. 1t was exciting enough,
but the Forest Citys outplayed by the Old Or
chards nearly all through the game. They never
played worse and all the Old Orchards had to do
was to wait until Forest City man missed the ball
and then hit it. Although they played five men
around their own goal nearly all the time they
able to secure the game winning three goals to the
Forest Citys two. The home club surely played a
weak game, as the Old Orchards did not show any
improvement over their former playing.
The first goal was in nine minutes by Ghur-
chill for the Old Orchards. Seven were used in
mending skates. The next goal was won by
the Forest Citys in three minutes, with three
minutes taken up with repairs. The third Huff
won for the Old Orchards in eight minutes the
whole playing time being fifteen. Winship took
the next for the Forest Citys in two minutes, and
minutes. The time OF the game was about one hour.
Mr.. Will Leighton was referee, ana he filled that
difficult office very acceptaby.
The two clubs are now tied for position. The tie
game should be played on neutral ground, but will
probably come off in one of the two Kinks sending
out the clubs.
At the close of the game Mr.. Harry Mcdonald
stepped forward and calling Mr.. Walter Orne to
him, presented him with an elegant Elgin hunting
case gold watch, token of esteem from his
friends in Portland. The watch is handsome one
and is similar IN style and value to the one pre-
sented to Kelsey. 1t has the initial 30" on the
case and on the inside is the inscription,
presented to Walter S. Orne, Sept. A, 1884,
by his Portland friends" 1t came from Atwood
B. Wentworth. Mr.. Orne is deserving of the fine
present he is splendid polo player and is really
the pioneer of The game in this place He played on
the Old Orchards last summer and on the Portands
last winter, being captain of the club. He can ay
in any position and is about equally good as rusher
cover goal, cover point, half back or goal keeper.
The boys feel their defeat of last night keenly and
in the tie game hope to secure the medals that
so near and now far. 1t is certain that they
are capable Of playing better game than the Old
Orchards and if an are in good condition when the

A'CIOsE CALL.

| ~--<~-@H---
The people in q little town in
Warrack county were on the brink
of a fragment church scandal
just before the close of the servi-
ces, good brother walked for
ward to the pulpit, handed the
minister an announcement, as he
thought, and asked him to read it
to the congregation before he dis
missed them. Just before time
was called ON the doxology the
minister said: 'n
Brother Brandy has handed in
the following;" and.in clear voice
he read the note which ran as fol-
lows: sLl 9. i.u
My Own Pet Bram:-Are you
never coming to see me again2 l
am dying to set my darling once
more and gaze into his beloved
eyes. The old mummy that calls
herself your wife will never
find it out. How
can you endure her? Come,
darling, to, one who truly loves
you. Your own and only MARY.
The good brother had hand
ed infthe wrong announcement.
At the close of reading tle minis
ter looked horror struck, the con-
gregatlon stared at Brandy with
cold, hard stares and his wife rose
up in her seat and glared ct him
ike tigress. lie was equal to
the occasion, however, and rising
calmly and with look of perfect
resignation on his face he said:
Brothers and sisters: 1T may
appear strange to you that ]
should asked our beloved pastor to
read such a terrible thing as that
from the pulpit, but the best
way to fight the devil is to fight
him boldly face to face. The wri-
ter of that vile note is unknown to
me, but it is evidently
some depraved child
of sin who is endeavoring to
smirch my christian reputation. I
shall use every endeavor to ferret
out the writer, and if discovered
will fearlessly proclaim her name
and hold her up to the contempt
of all good christian people"
He sat down amid the murmer
of appreciation and sympathy, and
his wife wanted to hug him right
before the congregation. The
evening he told the writer of the
note what had occurred and re-
marked with a grin that it was
the closest call he ever had in his
life.-Evansvile Argus.

A Peculiar Station.

On the Central Railroad is a
station called Morrow. A new
brakeman on the road, who didn't
know the names of the stations,
was approached by stranger the
other day while standing by this
train, at the depot, who inquired:
Does this train go to Morrow to-
to day?
No, said the breakman, who
thought the stranger was making
game of him, it goes to-day, yester
day, week after next.
You don't understand me, per-
sisted the stranger, / want to go to
Morrow.
Well, why in the thunder don't
you wait until tomorrow, then,
and not go bothering around to-
day. You can go tomorrow OF
any other day you please.
Won't you answer civil ques.
ton civilly? Will this train GO
to-day to Morrow?
Not exactly. 1t will go to-day
and come back tomorrow.
AS the stranger, who wanted tc
go to Morrow, was about to leave
in disgust, another employee, who
knew the station alluded to, came
alcng and gave him the desired
information.

How To Entertain The Girls.

"What shall we do to entertain
our girls?' says a religious ex-'
change. A man who needs advice
as to how to entertain his girls is
not fit tG edit a religious paper. We
suggest that he should take one of
them out buggy ridding in the af-
ternoon, tell her what a daisy she
is, and how insipid and fixed up
that other girls is. Then he
should take that other girl out for
ice craam after supper and tell
her confdentially how very unin-
teresting and awkward the buggy
riding girl is. When the two
girls meet the religious editor can
depend upon them entertaining
each other without his personal
assistance.
