STANDING OF THE SUMMER LEAGUE.

Miss Hattie Harvey will be at Forest City rink
tomorrow night. Miss Harvey is one of the most
ladylike and accomplished skaters of the day
and all should take this opportunity to see her.
The Old Orchard Sea Shell says the feature of
playing into each others hands is one in which the
Forest Citys excel and which wins for them many a
goal.
The Bilious and Greenwoods play together for the
first time in the league at the Bijou Wednesday
night.
The Bijou gave the champion Congress club a
lesson in polo playing at the Biiou Saturday night
1t took just 20 minutes to show them three ways Of
losing goal.
The Aiamedas and Greeks played together at
Boothbay Friday evening, Cunning and Guthrie
playing with their old club. The Alamedas won
the game, losing only one goal.
The Bath Times says that the games of the
Greeks in this city have awakened new interest in
polo at Bath and the admirers of the game there
say that with Dunning and Guthrie the Greeks can
down anything in the State. Better see the two
"Jumbos" play together before risking too much
on that idea.

Condition of Congress street..

10 the Editor Of the Press:
see by an item in the PRESS of Wednesday
that Street Commissioner Staples has fixed
Congress street in good shape from State street
to the West End. Now the simple facts are
that Mr.. Staples has merely scraped the mud
from the street and left it as it is, the toughest
most unshapely street in Portland. Without
casting any reflection upon our Street Com
missioner, the only proper thing, in the opinion
OF large majority of people owning teams in
Portland, is that Congress street from Sta to
street to the West End should be paved with
granite blocks, and that we can never have
good clean street until this is DONE
OBSERVER
How the appropriation for streets shall be
expended is not in the discretion of the Street
Commissioner, but of the City Council, to
which any suggestions should be made.-ED. 7

The Equine Purud0x.

The Equine Paradox will commence their
engagement of one week at Portland aheatre
tonight. The remarkable feats performed bv
this wonderful troupe of nineteen horses have
been commented upon in this journal many
times. The performances take rank among
the wonders of the present century, and show
to what height patience and training can
bring the animal instinct. There has been a
large advance sale of seats, and the house will
probably be crowded.
