A special to the Sunday Times says: Eff
teen hundred people witnessed the Brockton-
Portland game Saturday. Neither side dis
tinguished themselves either at the bat or in
the field. A wild throw by Spence in the
first inning allowed Hawes to make a circuit
of the bases, and Thayer made home run
in the eighth inning by long fly over left
field fence. The Portlands were visibly
affected by many rank decisions of the
umpire, (McIntosh of East Weymouth whose
errors were of so glaring nature as to call
forth round after round of disapproyal from
the spectators"
An Associated Press despatch says the
home team played an almost faultless field
ing game until the ninth inning, when the
chilly atmosphere seemed to get the better of
the basemen, and Hawes, Meister and Halpin
were credited with their only errors. The
particular features were the batting of
Thayer and Hatfield, and the sharp fielding
of Patton and Spence. The score:

RAILWAY MATTERS.

ANOTHER NARROW GAUGE RAILROAD.
Mr. George E. Raymond Of this city, and
party are now engaged in making survey
for narrow gauge railroad through the
notch of the Bartlett mountains, from near
Frank Georges hotel to the Swift river in
tervale, distance of from six to eight miles.
1t is estimated the road will cost from $4,000
to $4,000 mile, and it will open up sec
ton said TO contain one hundred million of
spruce, hemlOck and hard woods, which will
be hauled to the Bartlett Land & Lumber
Company's mills. When the survey is COM
pleted, company will be organized. This
road will be valuable feeder to the Port
land & Ogdensburg.
BOSTON & MAINE CAR SHOPS.
The car shops of the Eastern Division of
the Boston &c Maine railroad, at Salem, are
just now busy hives of industry. The shops
have been greatly improved by the addition
of new and spacious blacksmith shop and
machine shop, and the latter is being equip
ped with the latest and most improved ma
chinery for ear building. 1t is hoped soon to
remove the entire wheel-ftting department
now in East Boston to these shops. There
are now $50 men upon the payroll, who are
busily employed in repairing, rebuilding and
building cars, both passenger and freight.
Recently, an elegant new passenger coach,
differing in its general style from any other
car yet turned out in this section, was placed
upon the road, and will probably run to
Portland.

Hours fora Days Work

struck for shorter hours, which the bosses
refused to grant. The proprietors of the
planning mills and sash, door and blind facto-
ries of both cities will close their factories
rather than grant their employees ten hours
pay for hours work. The cigar makers,
brick layers and stone masons in Minneapo-
lis have secured shorter hours without strik-
ing. The eight-hour movement is confined
chiefly to the building trades, and the de-
