1t appears that burglars made entry into
several of the yachts belonging to the Portland
Yacht Club the other night and secured a good
deal of valuable booty The yachts are moored
in the hsrbor, on the Cape side, nearly opposite
Merrill's wharf. The burglars secured boat
and, under cover Of the night, visited the
Oracle, belonging to Commodore Senter, the
Constance, Capt. John P. Thomas. Idler, Capt.
Owen, and Starlight, Capt. Josephs. Entry
was made by forcing the padloeks which held
the cabin matches. Once aboard the rsscals

out his cries. A second man appeared at once
and began to rife his pockets. He had but
very little money upon his person, and the
thieves made no endeavor to take it.. His
watch and chain they stole, however, tearing
the chain out by force, breaking the links.
Later the police arrested two men on whom
the watch was found They gave the names

evening they will give an illuminated parade,
quite a novelty here but which have been
given in other cities quite successfully. They
will ride through the principal streets with
their machines covered with Japanese Ian

make pleasing spectacle. There are about
twenty-five bicyolists of this city who will take
part and as many more are expected from
surrounding cities and towns, SO the procession

A lawn party at the residence OF Mr.. Stevens,
president of the club, will conclude the affair.

the commissioner agrees to dispose of them in
any way that the owner may direct either sell
them in New Orleans or return them to Maine

week ago last Wednesday man hired
team from j. B. Clark & Sons on Tying treet,
for the purpose of canvassing for several days.
Ii seems that he sold the team in Standish to

Mr.. Thompson purchased the horse, the ami

his old home with nothing on but halter.
Mr.. Clark saw the advertisement in the

tho horso, and Snppeaing the name signed to it
was that of the man who hired the team, took
the horse to Standish. What was his surprise
on arriving at Mr.. Thompson's house to find
that he claimed the horse as his own, having
purchased him of the stranger; but as soon as
matters were explained, Mr.. Thompson will
ingly gave up the team to its rightful owners
Nothing has been heard of the man who
hired the team. He is described as an elderly
man, very ministerial looking, and seemed to
be all right. Mr.. Thompson purchased the
team at a very low price, but would not have
bought it ct all had not the man appeared to
be all right. He represented that he bought
the team at Bath, and had been stopping with

LAWRENCEs VS.. PoRTLANDs.
Tomorrow, Friday and next Tuesday these
two clubs will contend in series of three
games on the Portland grounds, to decide
which is the better club of the two. They
nave played three games here recently, but
they have not been satisfactory to the manage
ment OF either club. The first game the Port
lands won, by score of 7 to 6; the Lawrences
won the second by a score of IA to 10, while
the third game was not finished, although the
Lawrences virtually won it, 1t is understood
thai gentleman has offered to give the man
ager of the Portands 800 if the Portlands
win two out of the three games. If the Law
rences win two OF the three games, Manager
Bufnham is to pay Manager Seeley 500 be-
sides the guarantee of gate money. This series
will no doubt result in three of the finest
games yet witnessed here, and the full Law
renee team will play the series, while it is
possible that there may be an addition to the
Portlands.

PoRTLANps IS. REsERxEs 9.

The second game by these two clubs was
played yesterday, and the result of the game
was gate different from that of Monday. The
Portlands presented Chatterton and Thayer as
the battery and they did work. The fielding
of both teams was somewhat loose, but the
batting OF the Portands was strong. The
Portlands scored in the first five innings, we're
BANKED in the sixth and seventh, scored in
the eighth, and were whitewashed in the ninth.
The Reserves got five runs in the second
inning, one in the eighth, and three in the
ninth. Thayer caught Chatterton in fine
shape, and Gulliver and Malloy made pretty
double play. Shelton played fine game, and
Joslyn was an excellent first base. Duffy
played fine fielding game, but could not get
on to Chat for hit. Annis led the Re-
serves at the bat and Chatterton the Port
lands. The Reserves missed their old players,
and in neither of the games have they played
with the confidence which was their wont.
Mr.. Noble umpired the game satisfactorily,
and the $50 people present were satisfied with
the Portlands' victory. The detailed score:
