The base ball game between the Var
mouths and Bates was won by the former,
6 to l.
On Monday there will be some splendid
races. There will be two races, free-for-all,
which has nine of the best horses in the
State entered. The contest for the silver
cup will be completed The trustees have
secured Daniel Dwight, the professional ath-
lete whe is to compete in a half-mile race
with any horse to make mile in the same
time. The fair closes Monday.
Saturday afternoon, as some men were
target shooting in Auburn, stray bullet hit
Harry Hartwell in the face The injury
will not be serious
In front of the presidents Office was an ex-
hibition of the great cattle drivers of the
State. The contest was for goads valued re-
spectively at $40 and So The silver and
gold mountngS sparkled in the sunlight as
the oxen moved around the circle in response
to the motion!of the old, reliable OK goadf
that had seen almost service enough to drive
of themselves. There was an absence of the
loud shouting of the pulling arena. The
skill of the boys attracted the most atten-
tion. The gold-mounted goad for boys was
awarded to Willie NJ Cushman, aged
years, and 3 feet 8 inches in height. The
yoke came above his head. Eddie Smith,.
aged Il, received the second prize. OF the
larger goads, d. B. Hit If Sweden received
the first, and the second went to A. G. Thur
low of West Gloucester. The committee
consisted of D. Field of Auburn, j. III. Ham
ilton of Saco and A. J. Libby of Oakland.
At Up. M, Leroy led his moose down the
home stretch. A queer looking sight! No
where else than Maine was its like ever
seen. The moose has no horns and looked
scraggy and tawny, but his limbs are clean
cut and that of trotter.
Gentlemen, don't clap your hands while
that moose is on the track He is liable to
cross lots" said the marshal. "Can the band
play" was asked?" ''Yes." The band
played and after it was through the moose
'looed" sympathetically, and Peter Leroy,
whose hair floats down his neck like that of
an Indian doctor, mounted the sulky seat
and the moose walked down the track, most
of the way around. He seemed to be under
perfect control. His harness is much like
that of a horse and he is driven with reins
and bits
The race at p. N. was failure. The Pc
culiarity of moose is that when he won't he
won't, and Saturday he wouldn't. He
walked around the track as far as the gate,
when he disappeared. Leroy said that it
wasn't the mooses afternoon. He couldn't
make him move step faster than a walk.
When the moose got to the gate and saw his
tent afar off he couldn't be forced by it. The
public conld lay it all to the moose. A
moose hasn't even horse sense and it will
never be forced into him. but said by
stander, "He is dandy to go when he
wants to-"

Lord Londonderry Received in Dublin
With Cheers and Croans.
More Rioting at BeIfast-Two Persons
Killed.

DUBLIN, Sept. 1S.-The state entry OF the
MARQUIS of Londonderry into Dublin was
made with the usual official demonstration,
but was devoid of incident. The Marquis
was accompanied by his wife. They were
received in Westland Row by crowd, which
cheered them both. The Marquis and Lady
Londonderry rode thither from the station
on horseback. Lady Londonderry, as a
tribute to the Irish people, wore.a dress OF
white poplin. When the couple departed
from the railway station they were greeted
with cheers, followed by groans. The Mar
quis recognized the greeting by lifting his
hat, bowling, with smile, to the crowd.
The entire route from the railway station to
Dublin Castle was lined with troops. Most
of the buildings were decorated, and the
building was conspicuous by its total lack OF
flags, bunting or decoration. The Kildare
Street Club house was filled with people. In
Nassau street a banner with the inscription,
'The Queen and the Constitution" was dis
played. During the progress of the vice
regal procession the cheers were nearly
everywhere accompanied by groans, but the
cheering predominated. The vice-regal
party was welcomed at the castle by large
crowd of loyalists, who cheered heartily.

Silver Wedding.

Last Friday Mr.. and Mrs. Payson Tucker
celebrated their silver wedding, at their res
idence in this city, in very quiet way.
There had been no intention of marking the
occasion other than by such notice of the
event as might be taken by the family, but
friends got wind of the affair and the popu-
lar vice president and general manager of
the Maine Central, with his charming wife,
were the recipients of many very elegant
presents. Included among them was a
large case containing a complete set of
knives, forks and spoons in solid silver from
employees of the road, beautiful afghan
from Mrs. Charles Mclaughlin, and SUI
perb remembrance in rare flowers from some
Portland friends. The earnest wish of their
many friends is that their golden aDniver-
| sarv may be as happy as their silver one.

MaCkeYet.

In the fish market there was not much
change last week. Mackerel continue to be
the chief attraction. Receipts from the
Provinces have been quite liberal, aggregat-
ing 5000 barrels, but vessels arriving home
from the Bay bring small average fares. and
there lis no indication of any decline in
prices. The tendency is the other way, as
holders refuse to sell late arrival at previous
prices. The season is fast drawing to a
close in Provincial waters, and the chances
for any material addition to the catch are
growing smaller every week. The Eastern
shore fleet bring in occasional small fares,
but no large bodies of maekerel are reported
anywhere along the coast, and the OUTLOOK
for the remainder of the week is unpromlS-
ing.
The mackerel catch to date foots up 81,
529 barrels, according to the Boston FISH

A Noble Act.

Some little time ago two gentlemen were
setting together on the piazza Of a White
Mountain hotel smoking. They were chance
acquaintances, who had not met prior to the
present summer. In the course of converse
tion one of the gentlemen, man some sixty
years of age, said to the other, a middle aged
man:
''You are from Portland, l believer"
Yes" said the other, that is my home"
"DO you know anything about Mr.. -
who, if he is not dead, stin resides there?"
"0h yes" said the younger man, 81 know
him to speak to, and all about him, although
eral acceptance of the term"
He is living then,.,. replied the elder.
"What is his condition."
''Well,'' said his companion, 81 fear he has
| hard time. His own health is bad, for he
| has never recovered from his army expert
| ence. and then his wife, to, is out of health,
| and as he has no business that amounts to
anything, don't see how they get along"
| The older gentleman made no further ques-
| tioning for few moments, and when he did
he said, you say you must return to Port
| land tomorrow, when you are about to 60,
| will you please, first, see me?'
The next morning the Portland gentleman
called at the other gentleman's room and
said he was about to leave. The older man
| placed an envelope in the Portlander's hand
| and said:
During the war was:attaehed to New
York regiment and was taken prisoner and
confined in Southern prisoner. Among
| those confined there was the gentleman for
whom have inquired. He was a member OF
a Maine regiment and the last heard Of
him he was living in Portland. He was a
most amiable man, self denying to a fault
comfort for me and for others. That envel
ope contains a fifty dollar bill. Ask him II
accept it from me as token of his generosity
| to me, when man who had dollar was
millionaire. l am limo need of wealth, and
while l live, tell him on the first of every
month he will receive fifty dollar bill from
me-"
In these DAYS when the mad rush fo
wealth makes linen oblivious even of olC
friendships in the ordinary courtesies of life
it is an enjoyment to speak of such incident
as the above.

While the ship carpenters of Bath are in
telligent, well disposed men as class and
have an interest in the welfare of the city,
where many of them own houses, the long
continuance of the strike is beginning to tell
upon their nerves, and the temper OF the
strikers is far from as equitable as week
ago.
Last winter wages in the yards were at
one time not more than $1.00 and $1.25 per
day. The men could hardly live on this and
many cases of destitution was the result. In
number of cases men who were obliged to
call ON charity for bread and clothing and
who would have been glad of even $1.Oo per
day could they have gotten employment, are
now loudest in their demand for $500.

The Victorious Yachts

NEWPORT, Sept. 19.-The announcement
made last night that the Cinderella was
ruled out on account of a foul at Block Is
land buoy is entirely erroneous. Lieut.. Hem
declares the Cinderella was not in fault at
all. That he ought to have kept off. He
says he had three courses to pursue. First,
to keep on south and run the risk OF getting
aground the second to run smack on to the
Cinderella; the third to foul the bouy and
this latter he took. This will give the Gin
derilla one cup sure, as her rivals in the
same class BERTHE and Clara, got out of the
race. A protest has been lodged with the
regatta committe against the stranger. This
will be considered in New York and de-
cision reached in few days. As a matter
of fact the Galatea beat the Mayflower but
10 seconds, but the difference at the start
will give the Mayf1ower the cup. The Gitana
gets cup sure and it is more than likely
the Stranger. Lieut. Hem and Mrs. Hem
are going to lay mp the Galatea at New York
all winter. A citizens committee will give
four cups. The lGitana's and Mayfiowers
will probably be worth $500; the Stranger
will have one to cost $3.50; and the Cinderella
