ATHLETIC SPORTS.


THE bELFAsTs DEFEAT THE roRTLANDs to 2.
Yesterday was cold day for the Portlands In
Belfast, where they went to play the Belfasts The
club left here on the Pullman Sunday night, and
had long, tedious ride, arriving in Belfast at II 80
a. m. In the afternoon the game was played, in
the presence of about two hundred and fifty specta-
tors. The grounds were in a wretched condition,
and the boys felt rather downhearted, it is said,
from the start, and consequently they got left.
They were outplayed at every point Our despatch
says the decisions of the umpire were wretched he
not being up in the rules. In the eighth inning the
Portlands had chance to tie the game. The bases
we're full and none out, but the next batsmen went
out in one, two and three order. Knowlton and
Dilworth played magnificent game, as did Fish
and Callahan. The Portlands feel their defeat
keenly. They offer to play the Belfasts for 5000
series of games. The Portlands not getting hits in
where they ought to lost them the game. The home
club treated the Portlands handsomely. The score:

Saturday the Sanfords played their last game for
the season of 1884 with the Citizens of Biddde-
ford. About 400 people witnessed the game, and
were very orderly, there being no hooting or yell
ling. few good plays were acknowledged by hand
clspping on both sides. While the Sanfords made
more errors on the infield, the Citizens had more
passed balls and wild pitches which accounts for
the number of scores made by the Sanfords.

CAMP GIBsoNs VS.. CAMP UPToNS TONIGHT.
Tonight the Camp Gibsons and Camp Uptons will
play second game of polo at Forest City rink. The
first game between these two champion clubs was a
much better one than expected, and the one to-
night will probably cause fun enough for one
evening. The game will be played on lockwood roll
lers.
FOREST cITYs VS.. OLD ORCHARDS.
Tonight at Old Orchard the Forest Citys and Old
Orchards will play their fifth game together. If
the Forest Citys win it, and there is good
believe that they WILL as they have been defeated

the medals. If they lose they have two more
chances to the Old Orchards one.

1t was an off game for the Woodfords last night.
They didn't get to business in season, and before
they knew it the Forest Citys had three straight
goals in half the time they lost that number to the
Old Orchards last Friday. The actual playing time
was five minutes. Williams took the first two goals
in one half minute and four minutes, and Winship
the third in ten seconds. The Forest Citys played
two substitutes, Dow and Kelsey being unwell.
and Dick Rogers made his first appearance on the
floor, taking Kelsey's place. Dick is considerably
smaller than Kelsey but he is tricky with the ball,
and will make first class player Geo. Whitney

Surplus for the month 1,655.37 1888 81
The falling off in the comparisons in the
early part of the year was due in some mea-
sure to diminished earnings on through
Western freight, but more largely to reduced
passenger tariff. Salem was but one of several
stations between which and Boston material
reduction OF fares was granted and though the
train service of the company has been in
creased during the same time and the oper-
ating expenses for the ten months show some
enlargement as above, yet the cost per train
per mile during the ten months has been re-
duced from 81 SO cents in 1883 to 81 20 cents in
1884. Four new locomotives have also been
charged IN operating expenses, and quite a
number of new locomotives and passenger cars
are being put into the equipment account, now
that locomotive can be bought for 81 600 or
less against 81, 900 or $4,000 last year.

Commenting upon this showing, the Bulle-
tin claims that, as the very best months of the
year for this road-August and September
are not included in the above, there is every
reason to believe that the surplus over fixed
charges at the close Of business, Sept. 3oth,
will be nearly as large as last wear. The
sill ght falling off for the ten months occurred
in the earlier part of the season, and the net
earnings for July showed a very handsome
gain, as follows:

This total of $40, 10Y ,174 represents not only
the 118 miles of road owned by the company,
but also its valuable leases and close connec-
tions with other reads, including controlling
interest OF Sis, 000l shares in the dividend-pay-
ing Maine Central. 1t was supposed few
years ago that the Eastern Railroad was in
extricabIy involved in debt; but assuming that
the SIS, 100000 of liabilities rested solely upon
the 118 miles of road owned, even in that case,
an advance in the common stock to par would
represent total share capital and indebted
ness upon this road of $172000 per mile. At
the present quotation of SO for the stock, the
road is selling under $128000 per mile. The
shares of the Boston and Albany Road are
