BELFAST EQUINES.
Some that have Made Regulations.

Belfast colts did exceedingly well last
week and are a credit to that city, Waldo
county and the State. Their success is all
the more satisfactory from the fact that they
were well bred, and it must be a satlsfac-
ton to their owners that their efforts to i'm
prove the stock of that section of Maine is
SO abuudantiy crowned with success. Har-
oldson four years old, the champion three
year old of last year, maintains his suprem-
acy in his four -year-old form and won han
dily the four year-old race. This colt was
was sired by Prescott, often called the best
bred son of Harold esire of Maud ST. and
is genuine tro'ter. His dam is Queen.
Harodson also took first premium for four
year-old stations, and also won first a,
Bangor in same class.
He is owned by VIM. C. Marshall, Belfast
who also owns the richly bred young colt
Wilkesmont, by Kaiser, son of Geo Wilkes
and Fair Lady, by Dictator, dam May With
ers, by Gen. Withers, second dam the dan
of Haroldson. This colt proved himself q
good one in the last two-year-old race.
Elmbroke, the wonderfully fast two-year
old of last year {record 2 2.42), won the three
ycar-old race, this year, and record oi
2.36 IL. He was sired by Hambltoniar
Chief and out of a daughter of Gilbert Knox
He is owned by G. L. Ellis, Belfast, and il
undoubtedly one of the fastest colts evel
bred in Maine.

MAINE BREvITIEs.

The close season on deer, moose and car
ibou will be off Oct. |, and the woods are

bear was seen from the piazza of the FORKS
Hotel but few hundred feet distant, which
was afterward trapped by the hunters and
last season gentleman caught fawn near
the house, which he kept as a pet. Indeed,
it is no unusual thing to see deer grazing on
the hills about the hotel. The Forks, it may
be said for the information of the few met
ropolitan sportsmen who have not visited
this beautiful region, is the name of the lit
tie plantation. as it is called, located just

Augustus Champions.

Editor keanebee Journal
An item appeared in your Gardiner column
| recently which did the management of the
Augusta ball nine injustice by claiming that
the club disbanded owing the GARDENERS a
game. This, Mr. Editor, Is incorrect. Our
| record of games with the GARDENERS was even.
When the Gardiner team played here Aug.
29th they were given half of the gate re-
ceipts for the game and such being the case
| the Augustus owed them no return game.
| Nine games were played between the two
mines during the season, of which Augusta
| won i've. Gardiner can scarcely claim at
this hour that the game played early in he
| season should not count, since they them
| selves insisted that this game should count
When having completed their new grounds
they demanded that the Augustus sho uld
dlay in that city instead of their going to
Augusta, because the Augustus owed them
return game. This point the Augustus
| conceded and the game was counted. II,
however, both exhibition games were thrown
out the series would still stand four TO three
in favor of Augusta. The only way to do,
however, is to let all the games between the
two city mines count. To be sure, neither
nine was constituted in the fret con-
test as it was in the later ones, yet each was
| the representative nine of its city and each
played hired players. Even allowing that
the first game between the two cities should
not count, aud that the series stood four and
four. the Augustus would still be the cham
pions of Maine, since they beat the Skowhe-
gans. the Maine champions for 1887, two
out of the three games played. Tho Au-
gustas have won the championship of Maine
tor 1888 fairly and squarely. The number
of their victories alone far exceeds the total
number of games played this season by any
club in Maine For the next year the base
ball pennant of the Pine Tree State will re-
main at the capital and another year we hope
to again have nine in the field strong
enough to keep it here.

The Demarais boy was frightened when he

The review of the work of the champion
Augusta ball nine for the season Of 1883
will be read with interest by a large number
Of our citizens who have tended out upon
the games more or less regularly during the
past season. The record is in all respects, q
satisfactory one. The club has brought
honor to themselves and the city by hand
somely winning the championship of the
State. Their conduct has at all tines been
gentlemaDly and has won them many friends.
The majority of the players have been col
lege boys and nearly all have been Maine
boys. 1t has been great undertaking to
put such nine into the field, but it has been
done successfully and when the club dis
banded every player received the full amount
due him. Some debts remain to be paid,
but so proud are our citizens of the fine
work of the team that they have very gener-
ally expressed a willingness to contribute
something for this purpose and there seems
little doubt but what the money will soon be
paid.
