1t is to be regretted that when good polo player
is found in this city, that he be retained on
the home club and not allowed to join those in op-
position. The game at Lewiston Saturday night
was won for the W. H. IT'S, almost wholly by the
splendid playing of Williams and Durgan. Every
goal was made by them, and with few exceptions.
the brilliant plays of the game be credited to
them. Wakefield, the W. H. TBS goal, made some
excellent stops, but the ball at the Portland's
end the larger portion of the time, kept there by
the energetic work of the two players above
named.
The first goal was won by Williams IN L minutes
Two fouls were allowed on Norway, but neither of
ball struck his hand and they said he did it nten
tlonally. The second was allowed because he fell
and struck the ball in going down. The referee al
lowed foul, claiming he struck the ball while on
tie floor. The rules do prohibit this so the foul
should not have been allowed. This lost the Port
lands the goal as the ball was placed near the
goal that Williams pushed it through. The second
was got in 80 seconds by Williams in a general
scramble. The last DuIgan secured.n fine STYLE in
sixteen minutes. The game lasted thirty min
utes w. H. TN mas was referee. The W. II. TBS
played splendid game and strong club. The
Portlands played Just such game as only Portland
clubs are guilty of.
GRANITE oITYs. 3; ALAMEDAs, 2.
A correspondent OF a rink paper, has been wear
ing out his pencil in trying to make out the Granite
Citys an inferior club. This club, however, is the
only one that has defeated the Alamedas twice in
their own rink. Saturday night they met the Ala
medas in league game and defeated them 8 goals
to in half an hour. The game good one and
every goal was made squarely. Guth,ie returned
home from Salem Satur ay and played on the Ala
medals. The Granite CItys will meet the DeeringS

Labor Notes.

A shut down of all the coal mines in
the Monongahela Valley is considered
imminent. The acceptance of the re-
duction of a cent by the miners of the
Third Pool mas caused dissatisfaction
among the operators of the First and
Second Pools, and it is said they will
order a similar reduction. In this
event a reduction to 212 cents by the
Fourth Pool operators is expected, and
this will be more than the miners can
stand.

EDITION,
OueYear OLD.

One year ago tonight the now popu..
lar watch club system was inaugurated
in this city by Millard +. Davis, the
enterprising jeweler at No. 9 East Sec
ond street, and the first gold watch
given out In the Delaware Watch Clup.
The system took from the start; the nrst
club was filled up and ere many weeks
a second club was started and the enter
prise gained in favor until now the
sixth successful club is in progress,
while q seventh is forming.
In starting these clubs 1t was IN
tended to make a clean sweep, conduct
them ON honest principles ana leaVe ho
room for criticism. At the time tne
club was started the watches Ofiered lor
S65 were then selling from $40 to SSo,
but a. cash was received for each watcn
sold through the club, by each menoer
paying 81 per week, the dealer was tnus
enabled to mark them down at bottom
figures. Soon after these clubs were
started other dealers began to cry OUT
" fraud" "instalment house, etc.
but no heed was paid to these remarks,
AZ the fine watches given out every
week spoke for themselves and 1uiiy
proved that the purchaser was receiv
ING the full value Of his money, while
he was given 65 weeks to pay for the
same The "dollar a week Jeers
were kept up for some time, but tLe
fraudulent co dealer kept on sending
out his truthful indicators, while new
clubs were rapidly forming.
After four clubs had been estaDllshed'
and the enterprise growing in favor,
other dealers began to be alarmed,
ceased their cries of " fraud ETC., and
ere many weeks thereafter similar clubs
were started by nearly every jeweler IN
the city until the club business becam 6
perfect mania, not only in watches
but in many other things. Mr.. Davis,
however, was not to be disheartened
by such an onslaught, but kept on
| forming new clubs, and by "tumoling
to several rackets" OF his oplonepts,,
has been enabled to maintain the lead
| in the bushes, and allows no one 10
undersell him.
Since the first club was started, one
wear ago, over one hundred and thirty
| fine gold watches have been given out,
| all of which have given perfect, salts
faction and have stood the test OF seve'
raj critical examinations.
If these watches were not as repre-
sented, the system would long since
have been a failure, but as they are
really better than represented, the re-
suit is the clubs are as popular as ever
and new members are daily coming H.
With light expenses, Mr.. Davis, the
peer in the business, intends to keep ul
with the times, deal honestly with his
patrons, and keep his watch clubs boom
ing. Those desiring to join should
hand in .heir names at once at No.
| East Second street.
