POLO AT BATH SATURDAY NIGHT.

POLO AT BATH SATURDAY NIGHT
The first league game between the Portlands Of
this city and Alamedas OF Bath occurred Saturday
evening at the Alameda rink and was witnessed by
between 800 and 300 people. The game was a
terrific struggle by both clubs for the supremacy.
but the Bath club finally won the game
The game was started at S.35, and in pretty
two-mlnute inning the Bath boys succeeded in win
ming the goal. The second inning was one of the
hardest fought ever seen in this State, and we
doubt II harder one has been played in the Mas
sachusetts league this season. It took nineteen
minutes TO play this inning, and Cloudman of the
Portands, 0y 3 pretty hit, won the goal. The in
nng was prolific OF fouls, this rink being admirably
adapted for that purpose. The Bath bows did ter
riic hitting and wrestling In this inning and nearly
an OF the Portlands were recipients of bruises. The
played by both club, but the Alamedas succeeded in
winning the goal after six minutes play. The
panion to the second, and the Bath club succeeded
In adding few more laurels to their 'wrestng and
smuggling wreath" The Portlands, however, finally
stroke rom os Rofymsyy I els
Lining guarded his goal in most brilliant manner
winning the favor of the audience by his splendid
Stops. Inc NTH tuning was commenced and it was
patent to everybody that it would be a quick one
and SO 1t proved In two minutes after play was
commenced the goal was won by the Alamedas, the
Dali striking the goal post and glancing through.
Inc referee was Mir. j. w. Morse, and the Judges
for Bath were Messrs, stinsoa and Kelley, and for
Portland. Messrs. Mccain and St. John,
A great deal of fault was found with one of the
Bath players, a Mr.. Dunuing who, during the
game would grasp the Portland boys and pull them
away from the ball. in order to get at it himself or
assist his side in getting it. 1t looked bad and we
hope 1t will not be done in the next game by that
club In this CITY, The playing of the Portland club
was splendid, as it always is, and Carney distin-
guished himself by fine playing.
POLO NOTES.
A polo club has been organized on Munioy Hill
The Portland polo club will probably play an ex-
hibition game at Exeter, N. H., With the Park
club OF that city, the last of this month or the first

The regular meeting of the Womsn's Indian
Association was held on Saturday afternoon. A
large portion of the time was occupied In read
ing reports of the condition and wants of the
Indians, and among others extracts from the
instructive report of General s. G. Armstrong
of "Trip made by him last fall through New
Mexico, Arizona and the Indian Territory to
investigate the situation among the Indian
tribes in the Southwest The Navajo indians
In Northern New Mexico are the ones In whom
this branch of the association has taken
special interest. General Armstrong says that
owing to liberal gifts these Indians now have
prospect of such care and attention as Will
greatly improve their condition. They have
competent agent, Major d. W. Riordan. There
are IL 600 of them who lead a nomadic life, be-
ing scattered over region OF 20, 600 square
miles, much exceeding the limits of their
reservation which does not include fertile land
enough adjacent to water for their support.
They are the richest of all our India ms, own
ing over million sheep and 5000 ponies.
They manufacture their own wool into
blankets which have q wide reputation, and
they also make some articles of silver ware
which are priced. They are keen at trade,
brave, well mounted and well armed, and are
not without ideas touching the spiritual LIE,
having an interesting mythology; but says
General Anthony: American Christianity
has not touched them and the tribes about
them as effectually as it has the distant
Chinese" Besides schools for their children
in whose educstion their interest has lately
been aroused, they need practical instruction
by corps OF assistant farmers, in the develop
ment of their water resources (by irrigatioD)
the use of farming tools, the improvement of
seed and stock and their wool clip already very
large. He thinks that with some special at
tention they will become an intelligent wealth

ing upon them on all sides and there is prob
ability OF trouble II the government does not
give them proper location and secure their
