The Portland boys were taken into camp last
night by the Lewstons the score standing three to
one The less said about the game isbetter for both
clubs, as neither did remarkable playing. Cavins
won the first, second and fourth goals for the Lew
istons in 5, IL and 21s minutes and Orne the third
for the Portlands in 214 minutes. The Lewistons
first decided not to play unless the rule which pro
hibits member from striking the ball when any
part of the person was on the floor, was str icken
out but finally changed their mind and went on the
toor. There was very large audience present.
This game ends the league series for the Portland
boys, they having two out of the eight played
one each from the Biddefords and Lewistons. Fol

fectly at home. The grounds have been put
In excellent condition, and seats are being
erected to accommodate the spectators. The

ed from 2. 80 to o'clock p. M, ia order to give

Portland soldiers aud Sailors Monument
Association.
A meeting of the executive committee OF the
Portland soldiers and Sailors Monument AS
ISOLATION was held at the residence of the
president on Wednesday evening, and the ar
rangements for the approaching Fair were
fully discussed. The several committees are
actively at work on the details of their sepa-
rate departments.
The rooms of the Art Club on Congress
street have been generously rendered and will
be thrown open as an annex to the Fair, and
many fine paintings from abroad have been
promised in addition to the collection of works
of art now on exhibition there The use of
the studio of Portland's celebrated home artist,
81. B. Brown. Esq, has also been rendered to
the association during the fair.
The Haydn Association are rehearsing for a
grand concert in connection with the fair in
which the Weber Club and the members of
the Rossini Club will take part.
Applications for space in the hall are coming
in rapidly. This department is in charge of
f. 81. Fassett, Esq and has been systematical-
ly arranged, and the hall will be appropriately
Corps and Sons of Veterans have been as
signed section in the main hall and accom-.
modations for the sale of art goods have also
been secured. The floral exhibition will occu-
py the centre of the hall and prove very at
tractive feature.
The entertainment committee are busily en-
gagged in arranging for tabesux, musical and
other attractions upon the stage each evening
during the fair.
The exhibition of dry and fancy goods, gro
ceries, war relics and miscellaneous articles
will be very extensive and will occupy all the
available room in the main hall, corridor and
such other rooms as can be secured.
Reception hall will be devoted to the sale of
refreshments.
A general headquarters or rendezvous for
the several committees where articles for the
exhibition can be reported and inquiries al
swered concerning the fair will be established
in some convenient locality on the first of May
and placed in charge OF a competent person,
and will remain open every day and evening
until the beginning of the fair.
Our citizens will be visited at their places of
business and residences by members of the
committee at an early day and invited to do
nate such articles or labor as they are willing
to give in aid of this worthy cause, and any
who do not receive call from the committee
that are willing to assist in any manner are re-.
quested to notify any member of the commit
tee and an opportunity may be afforded them
to do 80.
The first public entertainment of the season
in aid of this worthy object will take place at
the Bijou Skating Rink on Monday evening,
May 9TH, under the auspices of Shepley Camp
Sons of Veterans, and the excellence of the
programme offered will doubtless bring out a
large audience, and the Monument Association
well deserve substantial benefit.

for Nine Years.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y,
May z, 1883.
I have for many years been troubled at times
with muscular rheumatism and pleuritic pains,
and have always found Allcock's Porous Plas-
tors to be quick and efficient in affording re-
lief.
In December last l had an attack of Pneu-
monia, which left one OF my lungs in weak
and extremely sensitive condition, accompan-
led at times with severe pain. The applica-
ton of one plaster relieved the pain in short
time, and 1 have worn one almost constantly
since, as protection to the weakened lung.
have used Allcock's Porous Plasters for my
self and family for over twenty-five years, al
ways with speedy beneficial results, and do
not hesitate to recommend them for their mild
counter-irritant qualities, and for their efic-
iency in relieving soreness of the lungs and
pains Of a rheumatic or neuralgia character,
J. MALCOLM SMITH.
Be sure to obtain "Allcock's'' Porous Plas-
ter, as all others.are worthless limitations.
