Notwithstanding the report that the Au.
gusta managers had secured the country
for players, and meant to do US up, the
courage Of the visiting nine, la their
powers, was not shaken in the least as
little did they think of the array Of league
players they were To be pItted against.
The game was called at 3 O'Clock and
when the Augustus took the field, the
entire team with three exceptions, proved
strangers to the city and imported men
for the occasion, aud as the game pro-
crossed it was seen that the managers
were wise in their selections, and had a
fine team.
The Skowhegan boys were rather slow
in getting TO work, but played a strong
game throughout, winning the applause
of all spectators and demonstrating TO all
their ability to play good ball
The boys as well a. their friends who
went with them claim they were used in
bad shape by the umpire, but with such a
lead as the victors had at the close we are
inclined TO believe the nine had more to
do with their defeat than anything else,

The kennebec Drive.

The logs in the kennebec are running
along well although the water is not quite
as high as the drivers would like to have
it. There are in round numbers now $50
men strung along from the rear at Cara
funk Falls to Fairfield. About half of
these are at or near the rear. The drive
is about week or 10 days late as it was
ate in starting. There have been no
very heavy jams this year, nothing like
the jam of last year in Weston Il Brain
ards boom The logs have run excep.
tionally well on Skowhegan Falls this
year, owing largely to good management
undoubtedly. Austin Eames and his ex-

no sort of show with them. They do not
allow one to get the start of them. TAX

Fairfield Centennial.

(Fairheld Journal.)
The Board of Trade at its last meeting
appointed committee to consider the
expedency of celebrating the Centennial
of our town this fall. This committee is
already at work to see what is the wish of
our citizens in this respect. As soon as
they complete their labors they will report
to the Board of Trade and then the peo-
pie will decide for themselves whether or
not they will celebrate. The idea is now
proposed to have an agricultural and
industrial exhibition lasting three days.
One of the features of the hall exhibition
will be an art gallery and it is well known
that there is but one or two towns or
cities in the state that can compete with
this town on works of art. The trades
and manufactures of the town will be
represented both at the hall and in thu
procession. distinguished orator viii
be invited to give an historical address
recountins the early days Of the town.
Why shall we not celebrate?

The Skowhegan's returned from Au
gusta by the II O'Clock train Saturday
and were accompanied by the Bruins
wck's who were to be their opponents
for that day.
1t was not very large crowd that were
out to see the game, but as it proceeded
we could not help but think it was full
larger attendance than such playing
would warrant. The home team started
in to play with some snap, but as soon as
they ascertained they could easily down
their adversares, the life dropped out of
the whole thing, and instead of shutting
them out as they were capable, let them
get seven scores by carclessness and fool
ing, This may be ball playing from their
view of it, but until they can show what
they are capable of at each game the
crowd will diminish rather than increase,
sure.

MIrTEE,

If the action of the majority of tie
members of the Salt Lake County Demo.
cratic COMMITTEES on Friday is to be en-
dorsed and upheld by the party in this
county, then farewell to the Salt Lake
County Democracy as at present organic
ed. The ma ority decided to admit to the
primaries no member of the Mormon
Church, thus making:a mans religion
test OF his political fellowship and con-
tinuing the old and ridiculous PROPOSE
tiol that man cannot be O Mormon
and Democrat at the same time. The
Territorial Central Committee made
proper enough suggestion or recon-
mendation in its call for con-
vention, that mo one shall be
permitted to participate in the
primaries who will not pledge
his honor that he will always advocate
and uphold Democratic principles, and
at all times and under all circumstances
suppor5 the nominees of the Democratic
party against the nominees of any and
every other party" That cover, the
ground fully, and goes far enough-as far.
in fact, as any committee has a rightto
60. No man should be asked to do
more than pledge his honor to work for
party and its nominees against
all other parties and their
nominees. No man can promise
truer feslty than is required in this
pledge. Furthermore, what is mans
religion to others SO long as in pol
itical capacity he upholds the principles
of and acts in harmony with his party ?
In religion man may be Turk, or he
may be an infdel, and still be DEM
ocrat or Republican in politics.
Fortunately county committee and
much less an insigniicant majority OF
one in that committee, cannot unmake
or change Democratic principles. That
committee can neither add to nor
take from the doctrines of Democracy.
