Dry versus Sweet Champagne.


The vintage of this year is splendid, both
IN quality and quantity, and it seems that
sweet champagnes are looming mp in the
market. Many people, who have affected a
love for champagne dry and extra dry, have
spread delusion that dryness is proof of
myrit in champagne. But dry wine is sim
Ply made by putting in less sugar at the
lime of fabrication. A fashion for dry wine
CLOSE few years ago, because some high
rtrsonsges in society had disposition to
obesity, and consequent distaste for sac
ctarine matter, set themselves to puff dry
ness with the air Of connoisseurs. But very
few ladies really like dry champagne and
most men-unless they are daily drinkers
Cl this most pleasant wine-prefer it mod
crstely sweet. The tart stuff which it had
become customary not long ago to offer as
tie perfection of champagne was little bet
ter than apollinaris with a squeeze of shad-
deck n it. As always happens in this
country, the fashion went to extremes, till
it became amusing, but pathetic also, to
watch the wry faces of the ladies while they
slipped wine which they would have con-
fl ssed to be positively disagreeable it they
had spoken out their minds, The grape
from which the champagne smade requires
sugar to bring out its full favor. Let vale

The College Championship BOwdoIns 6;
COlbys 3.

The second game of ball for the college
championship was played at Brunswick Sat-
urday afternoon in presence Of large audi
ence. Bowdoin went to the bat first and led
off in rattling style. Barton went out at first,
Dearth got first, stole second, took third on a
wild pitch and scored on Torrey's single Cook
and Talbot followed with base hits; these with
errors OF the Colbys yielded five runs In their
turn Colby went out in one, two, three order.
Up to the sixth inning both mines played a
strong, steady game, Colby securing only one
safe hit. In this inning Colby ran in two men,
on hits of Mathews and Emerson, aided by a
wild throw. During the seventh Bowdoin
added run while Colby was blanked again.
In the eighth, Mathews scored for Colby. This
ended the run getting. In the ninth Cook led
off with base hit but was caught on second;
Talbot went out, Larrabee to Emerson, while
Wright closed the inning by going out at first,
pitcher assisting. Colby went to the bat having
to get three runs to tie and four to win. LARA
bee flied out to Barton, Goodwin hit safely,
took second and third on wild pitches, and was
left there. Whitten struck out and Burtt
closed the game with short fly to Pushor
Wright pitched in fine form for Bowdoin am
was well supported by Waterman. Torrey aud
Pushor played perfect games in their positions,
while Barton played nagnifcenty in left field.
In the fourth inning alone he captured three
flies, catching out the side.
For Colby Mathews caught pluckily and
Emerson played faultless first base. Bow
doin out batted her opponents, Cook and Tai
bot doing the best work. The following is the
score.
