Chicago was received here very quietly. The
Democrats, who real the bulletin, were plainly not

hotels here said, "a poor nomination, Blaine can
beat him out of his boots.''

The Forest Citys of Peaks Island made their first
appearance in the Old Orchard rink tonight in a
game of polo with the Sacos. The referee was Mr..
w. II. Leighton of Portland. The Islanders were:
Kelsey ana Orne, rushers; Williams and Winship,
cover points; Smith, cover goal; Woods centre and
Dow, goal. The Sacos were: Leavitt and Hodgkns,
rushers Parady and Henderson, cover points; True
and Jordan; cover goals, and MeNeally, goal The
judges for the Forest Citys Mccain and Smith;
for the Sacos, Boothby and Goodwin. The Forest
C1tys played magnificent game, while the SacOs
did not play very well as a team and appeared 10
very poor advantage. The game was called at six
minutes past nine, and was won In twelve minutes
by the boys from the island Kelsey secured the
ball on every rush and the Sacos had three straight
goals on them before they had chance to wake up.
The first goal was won by Williams in thirty sec
onds. The second was also taken by Williams in
three minutes. After sharp contestSof eight min
utes, the third and decisive goal was again taken
by Williams, thus giving him all three goals which
Is something rarely accomplished in single game.
DOW OF the Forest Citys had little to do. The rush
ing of Kelsey, Orne and Wood was very fine. For
the Sacos McNealley played good game and had
all the other members played as well, the result
might have been different. It is believed that the
Old Orchards are capable of playing an interesting
game with the Forest Citys and the game bet ween

game in the Old Orchard rink occurs on the 18th
