COMMON COUNCIL.
A Protest Against Its Re-establishme

-
AUGUSTA. Jan. 10, 1885.
Editor Rennebec Journal:
You say in your paper this morning, that
the Augusta delegation in the legislature is
understood to be in favor of re-establshing
the Common Council. If that is so, it shows
that they cannot be conversant with the his
tory of the working of the two systems (,cith
and wittont Common Council and do
hope they will post themselves in the matter.
My interest in Augusta is not very great but
l know enough of the working of both sys-
TENS, to desire the continuance of the pres
ent system. In the transaction of business.
the old Common Council was simply nui-
sance, and trust our representatives will
look well into the matter before they aid in
re-establishing it. All the use the Council
used to be, was to give the City Marshal la
Dor in hunting up its members every time
we had a meeting, so that there could be a
quorum to do business. p o. VICKERY.

One of the most exciting games of polo
ever seen in this city was played between
the Granite Citys and Deerings, at Capital

feated by score of three to two. The first
goal was won by the Citys in one minute 4;
the second by the Citys in two minutes; third
by the Deerings in seven minutes; fourth by
the Deerings in eight minutes; fifth by the
Citvs in four minutes Some good playing
was done on both sides. Some of the stops
were especially good. The wire goal cages
were used, and they are great Improvement
on the old goal posts. 1t was an exhibition
game and had nothing to do with the state
