The Advertiser says: "After hauling off
the snow from the travelled streets it has
been necessary to put large quantities of it
back again; and still the sleighing is very
hard" There are many travelled streets
where it would be a great boon to the public
if the snow was hauled off. Witness Park
street, through which there is as much travel
as on Congress street, and where IS teams
collided in one day.

New England League Meeting

After the schedule was completed at the
New England League me, ting in Boston on
Thursday, several of the delegates made a
proposition that Portland should pay $50
guarantee, instead of $50, as formerly. Mr..
Mahoney Immediately objected, and tele-
graphed to President Vose for instructions.
Mr.. Vose answered that if such measure
were passed, Portland would withdraw from
the League. This frightened the delegates,
and they decided to lay the matter over until
the next meeting.
AS matter of fact, Portland, in the last
two seasons, has paid to the visiting clubs
over $4,000 more than they have received
from the same clubs in the same number of
games that Portland has played away from
home. If the managers who proposed this
measure imagine that Portland is going to
support their teams entirely they win be
doomed to disappointment.
