condition of athletics here is the best for seys
eral years and base ball for the past few
weeks has been booming. Not desiring q re-
petition of last years quietness in the Nation
al game the students have voted to put
nine in the field. The faculty also seem to
favor moderate amount of base ball. They
subscribed literally towards the clubs new
uniforms which are now being made. Inc
lateness of the season has prevented the
boys from getting the active diamond prac-
tice which they so much need before meeting
teams that have had the benefit Of ''Massa-
chusetts "trip" and of practice with the best
Maine clubs. Not until this week could the
ball ground be used. The FIST game was
played Wednesday with the L. II. s. nine. A
very good second nine composed Of College
and Latin School players has been formed
to give the college team frequent exercise.
The first nine will be made up about as fol
lows: +. j. DaRgett, 'S9, p. and captain; A.

With the coming week the Republican con-

enter upon its final and most interesting
stage. The ratio of representation under the
amended call has been made out, and by this
time the notifications have probably reached

forward caucuses will be held and delegates
instructed continuously, until the whole
fourteen hundred and thirty-one representa-
tives who are to sit in the Portland conyen-

At this point all features Of the contest
indicate that it will be one of the closest and
