the POrtlands grounds yesterday afternoon to
witness lthe league game between these clubs.

side was retired they had secured total of six
hits off Dugan and earned three runs. The Port
lands were blanked in their half and everybody
thought the visitors had walk over. But the
home club thought different and they quickly got
down to work and Dugan pitched most effectively,
but Thayer did not play behind the bat with his
usual effectiveness. By sharp fielding the visitors
were shut out every inning after this, excepting
the eighth, when with two hits sharp base run
ming and Thayer's passed ball they scored two
more runs
The home team secured their first run in the
fourth inning Weidel hit safely but was forced
out by Thayer, the latter reached third on pass
ed ball and HaSsetts error and scoring on an out.
Annis opened the fifth inning with two bagger;
Munee was given his base on balls, and
Wheelock's two bagger brought both home; after
this Dugan's hit and battery errors allowed two
more men to score. In the ninth inning on two
hits and battery errors the home club added one
more run to their score. Wheeloek's batting was
the only special feature of the game worthy of
mention. Bonds umpiring,ras usual, was excel
lent; his decision are given promptly and de-
cisiyely-and they are as promptly accepted The

The New rue pancho.

A new tug, the Pancho, has recently been
completed at Bath, and has left that port for
Boston, on her way to Guatemala, there to
tow vessels for the Tropical Fruit Company.
The little steamer is great success. Her
appearance is more like that of yacht than
tug boat Her neatly rigged mast, over
hanging hurricane deck, and small smoke
stack, all contribute to her style. In point
of speed she exceeds the contract terms, 60
ing over ten miles per hour with perfect
ease. Her engine is the work of Superinten-
dent Hyde, of the Goss Marine Iron Works,
and is piece of mechanism that will bear
the closest inspection. 1t combines econo-
my with perfection of workmanship, and is
in every way adapted to the boat for which
it was CONSTRUCTED from original designs
