as well as victory, was an applicant for the posi-
tion of superintendent of mails at the Augusta

leve he would receive the appointment. His
papers were endorsed by L. G. Allen and he
thought he was the fayorlte of Garcelon's Col.
Merton Mr. Morse called upon Mr.. Fowler, pre-
sented his papers and was informed by the post
master that the department wanted younger
man. Mr. Morse was not only surprised but in
dignant, and he asked the postmaster how old he
was. Upon receiving his reply, he said: There
is not much difference in our ages; think am
about as well preserved as you; good morning-I

Bilious did not SNOW their usual skill and GOODNESS
and played out of position, while the Lewistofs
played arough game. The game was delayed
good deal by broken skates.
Referee Desmond gave the proper signals to
start the game but the Lewistons did not get
ready in time, and lost the goal through their own
carelessness, Butler getting the rush, and caging
the ball ten seconds later, no one but the goal
tend attempting to stop him.
Caviss got the rush in the next goal and the
Lewistons carried the ball to their opponents
cage. Dunn secured the ball after some good
work in the corners and passed it to Butler. who
lost it to Caviss. Cayiss sent it from the centre
straight into the BijOu's cage, winning the goal
for the Lewstons amid great applause.
The third goal saw some rough work. Butler
took the rush and set the ball agoing.. Foul was
called upon McAndrewS, then two feuls on Trip
and third for Stevens lost the goal to the visit
ing team.
Gaviss got the next rush and goal, but Fickett's
brilliant work and many fine stops made 1t a hard
task.l
Butler took the next rush and also won the goal,
besides having fOnl called on him during t.
