About one hundred of the friends of the Queen
Belfast Yesterday forenoon, and were greatly dis
appointed AT seeing them defeated in an exceeding
ingly close game OF six to five. There was = great
crowd to see the game some estimating the number
at 800, and there without doubt 200. The
umpire was the pugilist John L. Sullivan, ana he
gave very good satisfaction to both Mines being
very lucky in making the close decisions. The
Queen Ctys Outbntted the Bclfasts, making hits
with a total of eleven, to six for their opponents
but they were outielded. Donahue made a very
costly error. and hilmes, the brilliant third base
on the Melrose team, made several and these
aided the Belfasts greatly. 0Sley pitched mag
nfcent game and well supported by Donovan
HUI Il made a very difficult fly catch and Ray got In
his usual two base hit The Befasts play ed
a good game in the field. Parsons, of Pittsned,
covered second. The Queen City arrived home al
eleven O'Clock last evening They think that they
had very bad luck in losing the game, but report
good usage on the part OF The 5elfasts. We were
unable to obtain a detailed score of the game

CAUGHT ON THE FLY.
Belfast has played seventeen games this season,
winning eleven and losing six.
Considerable money changed hands Friday
After the first inning, when the game stood to in
favor of the Queen Citys, the Bangor men put out
their money freely.
Colburn, of the Belfast nine, while not good
batter, is the best base runner the team. In
Fridays game he made three Of the six runs and
played without an error.
Mr.. knowlton, the Belfast catcher, goes to An
dover Academy Sept. sth, when the season for the
Belfast team will end. If games are played after
that date 1t will doubtless be with hired pitcher
and catcher.
The Portands were advertised to play in Belfast
on Monday, but failed to put in appearance.
The manager telegraphed that all their catchers
We're disabled and they would come to Belfast on
another date. The Belfasts consider the contract
dishonorabiy broken

200 people inside the fence and from POO to

is safe say that 800 people witnessed the game,
a larger number than ever before Witnessed

Belfast probably has more hoodlums in it than
any city, large small, in the entire country.
The nine, of course, should not be held responsible
for the disgracefu conduct OF the above element.
Bangor Commercial.
The Bangor crowd which came here on Friday
were accompanied by two policemen in uniform.
They fought among themselves and it was the
drunkest crowd that ever struck Belfast.
The Bangor crowd did not have opportunity
to the tin horns they brought to this city last
Friday. We understand they came provided with
sixty horns and had the Queen Citys they
they would have raised the town. After the defeat
they compromised on a different kind OF a horn and
got jolly drunk On the way to the boat some fell
of the sidewalk, while others made sorry exhibit

Belfast people ought to be very proud of their

The above is lie.
The Boston Post of Friday said
John l.. Sullivan is to umpire game of base ball
at Belfast to-day. John don't know much of any
thing about the rules, but Wen bet the lemonade
there won't be any kicking over his decisions
There was kicking. When the Post says
John L. don't know much about the rules OF the
game it does so evidently to give point to joke,
but the assertion is untrue. John LIS umpiring
gave universal satisfaction and he conducted him

position is taken, by the counsel for the city,
that the preferred stockholders, as between
themselves and the common stockholders are
not entitled to any dividends until the entire
Indebtedness of the company is paid; that, in
asmuch as the subscriptions to both classes of
stock were made when the declared policy of
the corporation was not to create a corporate
debt with the then full expectation BY all
parties that none would be created, and mas
much as the debts were unayoidably incurred
for the common benefit of all stockholders, the
burden of removing the debts should be borne
by all the shares alike, and not fall exclusively
upon the common stock. The City contends
that the favored class were to be preferred
stockholders only upon the condition that there
should be no debts; that there was an implied
contract to that effect; or, if not a contract,
that such result is demanded by natural
and necessary equity which flows from the
re ation of the parties.
We think such position Is not tenable as
claim either in law or equity. The subscribers
must have known, if they reflected at all about
it, that corporate Indebtedness might become
necessary, in spite of the strongest pledges to
the contrary. In fact, the twelfth bylaw i'm
plies that debts might be incurred. 1t is said
that the holders of the preferred stock favored
bonded debt. But it was not upon any con-
dition that they should surrender any right
thereby. All stockholders favored 1t. If A
has the first and b the second mortgage on q
vessel, taking their securities at the same time,
anticipating no disaster to the vessel, and a
disaster comes, requiring a bottomry bond
upon the property, the payment of such bond
is not burden common to the two mortgages.
The illustration may not be inapt.
The main question of the case Is whether, in
November, 1882. the financial condition of the
company was such that the preferred stock
holder was then legally entitled to dividend
No such claim could have been made upon
the ground that he is creditor of the COM
pany; he Is not such. Preferred stockholders,
ordinarily, are not creditors. That is the COM
mon doctrine of the authorities. Chaffee v.
Railroad, 55 vt. 10, and numerous cases cited
1t was not intended in the present instance to
guarantee dividend. If dividend is pre-
vented in any one year by deficit of earnings,
it cannot be made up from the earnings of sue
ceediDg years. A six per centum dividend is
not assured by the contract of subscription. 1t
may be less. The implication Of the bylaw is
clear that there is to be no surplus Of profits to
be carried from one year to another. The net
earnings are to be wholly distributed each
year. The language of the bylaw is really the
language of the general law. 1t promises divi-
