Bowdoin College.

1t has often been urged by those opposed to
the system of secret fraternities in American
colleges that their tendency is to keep the best
literary and oratorical ability of the whole COL
lege from coming in contact and deriving
stimulus from competition. 1t was partly to
avoid this difficulty and partly to afford relief
from the tsdium of routine work that the Bow
doin College Literary Association was formed
last winter as winter term society, taking up
portion of the time occupied other terms by
the sports. Under its auspices a course of lect-
ures was given which proved of great interest,
both to students and townspeople. This win
ter another course of lectures will be institut-
ed, and as preliminary entertainment Prof.

The Wright & Ditson's polo team of base ball
made their first appearance in this State at the
Bijou last night. There was large audience call
ed together by the unusual attraction of seeing
some of the famous players of the national game in
their specialties, together with polo game by the
Bijous on lockwood rollers. The Wright & Ditsons
were clad in a neat suit of grey of the base ball
style and made fine appearance the floor. Their
first exhibition was throwing to bases, in which
there was some pretty throws and good stops. Then
Latham of the st. Louis club gave exhibition of
base running sliding in at first in good style. He
then showed how Kelly and Gore of the Chicagos
got their runs, by skipping third, and then did in
an honest way by touching it. Butinton then
pitched to Hines of the BostODs, who appeared in
Morrill's place, in all the styles of the past and
showed what is to be the style next season. He
gave the various curves, the in shoot, drop ball,
raised and fall, the fast and slow with the de-
livery and also the style in which he pitched whom
he made his great record with the Bostons. That
closed the base ball exhibition and they skipped
from the sarface, the spokesman, Knightlsof the
Athletics said, "Now we will try and play polo.''
