There was large attendance, about 900 tickets
being sold The W. II. T.'s won the first two goals

The following appears in the Bath Times:
AS there are many questions asked as to whether
Geo. Dow will play in the Alameda goal the rest
of the league the is that he WILL and it has
the rink that he will not. The reaso he did nos
play in the goal in the Portland game here was on
account OF sickness. He will receive the medal, if
won. the same as the remainder of the players.
The Independent was the paper that started the
story that Morse instead of Dow would receive the
medal. The following sentence clipped several
weeks ago from that paper will apply to the one
who wrote the paragraph giving the misnforna
ton, substituting the papers name for the one it
was intended for:
1t seems that the poloist on the Independent does
not know any more concerning the medals than he
does concerning other subjects upon which he gro

A Novel Advertising Scheme.

A leading manufacturer of pills in
London, says cablegram, has con-
ceived an advertising scheme which is as
novel and audacious as the most brilliant
flights of American genius in that di-
rection. He has forwarded to General
Wolseley, who is now marching toward
Khartoum, one thousand copies of
hand-bill in which the virtues of his
pills are eXtolled in the highest terms.
Accompanying the hand-bills is the
manufacturer check for ESQ, which
he asks Lord Wolseley to award the
first soldier of his expedition who shall
reach General Gordon palace at Khar-
toum and shall paste on its door copy
of the hand-bll In his letter the en-
terprising pill-maker says his offer is
made from patriotic motives, and with
a desire to stimulate the soldiers to
reach and rescue General Gordon at
the earliest possible moment. He says
that he has sent large number of the
hand-b lis, so that each soldier in the
expedition can be furnished with a
copy and thus have an even start in
the race, as far as he can provide for
it. His object in prescribing that the
bills shall be stuck on the palace door
is simply to show who is entitled to the
prize, and he adds that the name of the
winner will be published inevery paper
in England, thus giving him undying
fame.

A Valuable Discovery.

A graduate of Yale College, DR.. Samuel

following official statement: ITO the

shrink from the use of Morphia and Opium,
and especially to mothers, who justly dread

dangerous drugs, the Red Star Cough Cure

free from all opiates, poisons, and emetics
"a thing which not one cough preparation

original and most happy combination Of

a speedy cure.

Mercury's Mystery.

Mercury defes the host of terrestrial
astronomers and mathematicans and
spins on his way, his perihelion point
advancing with accelerating speed, in
fashion incomprehepsble to those
best versed in the laws that hold in
place the sun and his family of worlds.
The rebellious planet refuses to come
under the rules, and the fact that the
perihel on of his orbit moves round the
sun faster than it ought to is now con-
sidered as established. The cause of
the anomaly has not yet been detected.
No problemat cal Vulcan, no unnamed
planets, no group OF ateroids have
ever made transitS over the sun and re-
stored harmony to the system. I'm
skilled observers in most instances have
seen tile bodies Gro sing the sun that
had the appearance of planets. Their
observations however, have not been
confirmed by observers who for fifty
years have never allowed fair day to
pass without scanning or mapping the
sun face. The transit of planet no
bigger than pins point would not es-
cape their Wig liant watch During to-
tai Ell pses tiny stars have been noted
that it was hoped would prove to be
the much desired intra- Mercurial plan
cts. But the preponderance of evidences
is against the existence of the unseen
wanderers, and the problem remains as
completely unsolved as it did when the
discrepancy was first discovered.
