The Home Team Scoops the sanfords
by Score of 2 to5

THE best conducted, best PLAYED and most
exciting game seen on the home grounds
this season." was the universal verdict Of the
age crowd which assembled at the ball
ground yesterday to witness the ball game
between the Augustus and Sanfords. II was
refreshing for the spectators to see the gen
tlcmanly manner in which both mines con-
Quoted themselves, and the absence of
any kicking over the decision of the umpire
The Sanfords are by all odds the strongest
ball team which has played here this season.
They have a great battery in Ilolligan and
Burns, and their fine fielding again and again
brought rounds of applause from the specta-
tors
Holligan is the strongest pitcher the Au.
gustas have faced this season. lie has wide
curves and a speedy delivery, and watches
bases finely. lie was beautifully supported
by Burns. Morton, the heavy first bascman
of the Presumpscots occupied that position
for the Sanfords. He is a great ball player,
and if he keeps at the business will soon win
his way into much faster company.
For the home team Rogers distinguished
himself in the field by accepting six chances
without an error, and leading the team with the
stick. Underwood made phenomenal catch
in center field. Ferdy pitched good game,
although he was somewhat wild at times,
and kept Webster dancing about in very
lively manner. Webster caught great
game, taking balls on the ground in the air,
and far out on the side, and saving Ferdy
several wild pitches. The new men showed
up we'll, and Augusta undoubtedly now has
one of the finest teams in New England.
The game opened very unfavorably for the
Augustus, several HRS and succession of err
rors giving the visitors four runs. After
that the home team played an almost faultless
game and, by hard aud timely batting in the
| fifth, six and seventh innings, aided by sew
eral wild throws, run in seven scores. Un-
I'll the last put-out was made, however, 1t was
nobody's game, and the interest of the audi
ence was intense When the game closed
the bases were full, aud an error would have
tied, and perhaps lost the game but the er-
ror wasn't made. The Sanfords are fine
crowd of ball players, and whether we win
or loose we shall be glad to meet them again
on the diamond.
| The Augustus mascot came in for many
encomums and now that he has had some
practice in the position, he will undoubtedly
prove agood one.
| Below is the tabulated score:

FAIRFIELD, Aug. 3.
Active preparations are being made for
what promises to be one of the largest horse
trots ever held in Fairfield. The fact is well
established that the track here is superior
very easy to horses feet and at the same time
fast and that there is no better place to con
dition the trotters for the fairs so soon tc
open. The entries for the two days races
| Aug 9th and 10th, closed today, and the to-
tai footings will exceed seventy. Such a
field has never been seen in town and the
attendance next week will be large. In the
| green horse class there are seven entries, the
2 AZ class II, the g 81 class 6, the 3 90 class
| II, the 3S class 8, the 2.3o class D, and the
running race 5, with number of entries not
yet fully placed. Among the more noted
horses to be present are 1iconic, 2.34, Maud
r., 232, Lawrence, 2.29, Elmo, 2. 80, Black
Crook, with record close to 2.30, Kate,
2 80, Offa, 2 "a, Soanthe, 2.30 and others.
The very speedy mare Alice Oates, owned in
Auburn, and the gray stallion Resoiute, the
winner of the two-year-old race at Lewiston,
will also be seen coming up for the word.
This is the only park iii Maine that has a
special bicycle track. Mr.. Gerald has just
wide, and fifty wheels are expect to be in
line for the race.
Another attraction will be the thorough
bred Clydesdale stallion, Lord Clyde, owned
by Mr. Bliss Anderson of Sackville, n. B.,
and to be shown at Fairfield during the pres
ent month, until the Eastern State fair opens,
This horse is five years old, a rich bay, and
weighs 700 pounds. The attractions at the
races are ample to call out crowd, and
surely with complete railroad accommoda-
lions, horse as well as steam, there is no
reason why one may not get the worth of
their money.

aud the question was, whether after enjoying
this property, and after its obligation to pay
the claims had been judicially determined by
the courts, the government would pay them
and thus compensate its citizens, or whether
il would repudidate its obligations and dis
honor public faith and credit.
