the visiting team. Mr. Levesey's skating
was in every way equal, and in some re-
spects superior, to that of any fancy skater
who has appeared here. AT the close of his
exhibition the polo teams were introduced
by w. A. Lord, who called attention to the
circumstances attending the organization OF
the Boston team. He also announced that
the game would be played for one hour and
that the team having the most goals at the
end of that time would be considered vic
torious. The superiority of the visitors was
manifest from the start. They played with
a degree of method and skill which was
new to most of the audience and especially
to their opponents. Their superior muscu-
lar power, skill and points" gave them
pretty much their own way throughout the
game. Our boys, however, played exceed
ingly well and gave their opponents some
very warm work at times. Eight goals
were played, and they were won as follows:
first Bostons, four minutes second, Bos-
tons, five minutes and twenty seconds; third,
Bostons, thirteen and one-half minutes:
fourth, Golden Fleece, twenty-five seconds;
fifth, Bostons, forty seconds; sixth, Golden
Fleece, two minutes; seventh, Bostons,
four minutes; eighth, Bostons, eight and
one-half minutes. II. r. Moore acted as
referee and Will Pratt as time-keeper.
Early in the game Captain and First Rusher
Chase of the home team was struck in one
eye by polo stick and badly disabled
but after short time he resumed the game,
though compelled to play with one eye COW
cred. During the waits " interesting ex-
hibtions of skill in goal tending were given
by both teams.
AT the citizens meeting, held at the Saw
ings' Bank Friday evening, in the interest
of the band, various projects for money
making were discussed. The most feasible
seemed to be a series of social assemblies,
and Mr.. A. ID. Farwell was appointed chair
man of a committee to be appointed by him
self to arrange for such a series. 1t is pro-
posed to have six assemblies at the Pavilion
during the coming season, at intervals of
from ten days to two weeks The pro-
gramme of entertainment for each evening
will consist of a concert from eight o'clock
until nine by the full military band, after
which there will be dancing until twelve
o'clock, with music by an orchestra of nine
or ten pieces, and watzes by the band
The parlors will be opened during the hours
of each assembly for games and social en-
| joyment for those who do not care to Join
in the "mazy." A free carriage list will
also be furnished. In order to assure the
success of the undertaking, tickets will be
sold by subscription, and no definite ar
rangements will be made until a sufficient
number have been taken. In this way tn,
| band can purchase the new instruments
without risk and have them for use at th'
concerts. Another reason for believing
this to be the best means of raising TIL,
money, is that it will stimulate the band tC
more than usual effort toward improve
ment. They will thus make return for thu
part which the people take in the enterprise
and earn the instruments by their own la
bors. The people, too, will feel less th
burden of contribution, on account of th
return which they will receive in the enjoy
ment of each occasion. A. w. Ferrin wa
elected treasurer of the citizens associa
tion, and to him will be delivered the pro
ceeds of the entertainments, to be disposed
of in such way as shall be directed by
committee to be hereafter appointed. 1t il
desired to begin the work at once, and W
trust the committee will meet with abund
ant encouragement. Mr.. Farwell has az
pointed the other members of the committe
as follows: j. w. Brock, j. G. Houghton, c
p. Pitkin, f. III. Puffer, j. NJ. Boutwell, an
K. A. Lowe.
