THE PORTLAND ASSOCIATION.

THE PORTLAND ASSOCIATION.
By order of the directors, a call has been issued
for a special meeting of the stockholders Of the
Portland Association, at the office OF T. II. Nc
Donnell, 102 Exchange street, Wednesday, July
%, at o'clock D. m. The business to be brought
befo the meeting as stated in the call is:
"To instruct the directors in regard to engag-
ing John L. Winship as business manager and TO
define the terms under which he shall be en-
gagged"
. AT meeting of the stockholders held July sth,
the following was introduced by Mr.. Robert r.
Somers and unanimously adopted:
Mr. John l.. Winship having been discharged
rectors of this association.
Resolved, That the stockholders, In stockhold-
ers meeting assembled, believing in the integrity
and business efficiency of Mr.. WinShip hereby In
struct the directors Of this association to relnstate
him in the position from which he has been de-
posed.
Then followed considerable discussion as to
whether or no the directors would take any notice
of the above action, and on Mr.. Somers motion
the following was passed-227 yeas, 27 noes.
ResolUed, That it is the sense of the stockhold-
ers present that if the board of directors do not
act in accordance with the previous resolution
passed relating to Mr.. Winship, that they be re-
quested to resign.
The first resolution would seem to be sufficient
ly explicit to render any further instruction un-
necessary and If the directors did not see t to re-
tion in regard to themwere clearly defined. Under
the circumstances, the present meeting appears to
be entirely uncalled for.
PoRTLANDs, 4; LAwRENcEs, a.
1t was a satisfied crowd that left the POrtlands'
grounds yesterday after the game between the
home club and the Lawrenees. Dugan and Hanna
were the Portands battery and it was the gener-
al expression that superior work was done by
them. Dugan has perfect control of the ball, is
well posted in all the points, and it is hard work
to steal base on him. The game opened with
the Lawrences at the bat, and at first it appeared
as though the Portlands were up to their old
tricks. Holland muffed foul fly Fulmer fumbled
a slow grounder and Hanna had passed ball, al
lowing the runner to get around to third-but he
stayed there The next three men were out. At
ter this the home team braced up, every player
striving to excel and they played brilliant games
Hollands work at third and Fulmers at second
being especially noteworthy In the sixth inning
a pretty play occurred; Weide was at the bat;
two strikes and six ball had been called when
Conway, probably fearing seven balls would be
called, pitched slow bah and just where "Gus"
wanted it and without any ado he struck 1t clean
over the left field fence for a home run. The
crowd were pleased of course.
For the visitors Conway pitched a fine game and
made it counted big. In the seventh inning how
ever, Conway deserved fine. He pitched the
ball to Munce before the Lawrences were in posi-
ton-the catcher was laying down his mask-and
Munce hit 1t past third base for two bases. The
official score is found below;

LONDON July 16.-This mornings Tele-
graph, in its article ON the Afghan news,
says: ''The objection of the Ameer of At
ghanistan to Russia's claim to a position
practically commanding the Zulfkar Pass is
supported by Lord Salisbury. Lord Sails
bury's reluctance to consent to Russia's offer
to submit the question in dispute to Joint
commission is owing to his belief that such
course would be resultless and only delay a
settlement of the matter"
The Times in an editorial says that all the
powers, with the exception of Russia, have
given their assent to the issue of an Egyptian
loan. Russia's silence, the Times says, in
creases the apprehension in regard to the
Afghan situation.
The Standard in an editorial on the report
ed advance of Russian troopst to Zulfcar Pass
says that although more reassuring news
was received late yesterday from Colonel
Ridgeway, the chief of the Afghan boundary
commission, the news from other sources re-
garding the Russian movements is of the
gravest character. The only redeeming fea-
ture of the intelligence from Afghanistan
says the Standard, IS that the Afghans have
attached themselves more firmly than ever to

land in Asia. France, the article declares,
will be compelled to establish protectorate
over Tonquin, and the English in India will
then be between two fires, and their interest
is to avoid any policy likely to lead to a
Franco-Russian alliance. This is set-off to
the increase of friendlinessl between England
