The following paper prepared BY N. Clifford
Brown, curator of ornithology, was read:
The true Golden Eagle (Aquild Oh ySactus)

OF New England, and the specimen presented
to our society by DR.. j. Torrington is the only
ore, so far as ia knoRn, that has ever bean
taken in the vicinity of Portland [ have nv.
self looked mp a large number of reputsd ex-
amples, but they have Invariably, uhtil l
CHANGED upon the present bird, proved TO be
immature specimens Of the common Bald
Eagle. Here | may observe that however
the two species may at some ages resemble
each other in color, they are always to bs dis
tinguisbed by the featheriug of their legs.
In the Golden Eagle the tsrsus is feathered to
the toes; IN the Bale headed variety the lower
part of the leg is bare.
Our specimen was shot BY Dr. Torrington
himself, and since the doctor is one of the
Oldest Inhabitants of Peaks Island, and a man
OF more than seventy years of age (if am not
deceived By bis venerable appesrance) this
fact would lend additional interest to the
capture. But the particulars of the story are
almost tragic. 1t seems that the doctor first
caught sight of the bird circing about within
short range of his house, and obviously intent
npon little child that was playing near it.
The doctor was alarmed and rushed for the
only weapon within reach, an old fowing
piece, loaded years before aud dangerously
rusted from long disuse. He gave no thought
to himself, however, but at once se'zsd the
gun and discharged it at thu threatening
eagle There was a tremendous report and a
violent recoil. The doctor was thrown UPON
his back, seriously bruised and dislocated
shoulder; aad for many weeks subsequently he
was unable to leave his bed. However the
eagle was sacrificed.
fonnd the doctor very proud of his trophy,
feet a. ain, and 1t was certainly an act of no
little generosity to part with it.

faultless minuti@ and arrangement, and a..
though there was noted absence of spirit
from the festive board, the spirits of the COM

PoRTLANDs VS.. DEERINGs TONIGHT.
Tonight at the Bijon occurs the first league game
In this city the contrasting clubs be the Portlands
and behring's The latter club will appear with
several new members and will be strengthened so as
to give the coming champions hard pull. The
game Will be called at O'Clock as usual.
PORTLAND RINK.
The reduction in price at the Portland rink is
bringing large crowds to this popular place of
amusement. Good music at every session and a
fue surface ensures good time to those who go.
ALAMEpAs 3; GRANITE cITYs2.
At the league game in the Capital rink, Augusta
last night bets cen the Alamedas of Bath and the
Granite Citys Of haliowell the Alamedas were
viclo ious winning threegoalssto the Granite Ctys
two. 1t was a sharp fight and the game lasted one
hour and thirty minutes.
NOTES.
The Salems played the Gl bucesters a league game
Monday night and were defeated goals 60 in %
minutes. Considering the fact that the Gloucestets
bid fair TO come out near if not at the head in the
league and that they were playing in their own
rink it shows that the Salems doing little
better than in previous games. Guthrie of the
Alamedas his Iejoined the Saems.
The Low.lls defeated he Bostons Monday night
by three straight goals. 1t hot game and
Norway played finely, proving an impenetrable
barrier to the hub boys.
There was splendid crowd at the Portland rink
last evening.
Norway will not play on the Portlands tonight,
being unavoidably absent. Foster win probably
pay IN MS place.
The membership of the Deerings tonight will be
as follows: Goal, Masterton; cover goals Weeks
and Lowell; cover points, Taylor ana Gledhill;
ceutre, Durgan.
The Bidoeford journal says the Biddef rds will
not withdraw from the league. This is good news
as they play fne game generally. The rumor
arose from the fact that one of the proprietors of
the rink in which they play rather advocated their
doing so and he was supposed to be good author
ity.
If competent referees cannot be secured there is
no us in trying to play the league games. The
teams should make up their minds not to "kiek''
however badly they may appear to be used. 1t will
be better for the league for team to lose a game
unfairly than to have squabble over it.-Adver
user.
Correct. The Massachusetts goal box is what is
needed and with them there would be no dispute
over goals
