Of room. The services opened with a sea-

then gave the report of the work for the
year. From it we learn that S266S 04 was re-
ceived, and was paid out for expenses.

eighth, Salem went the home team one bet

Newell and Willis, filling the bases, and
Barney McLaughlin's hit to left, which
scored all the men ahead of him, winning
the game, as Salem only got one in their half
OF the eleventh, on throws by Mclaughlin
and Darby, which could not have been
reached with a step-ladder. Salem played a
remarkable fielding game. making a perfect
record, and on wet grounds. Attendance

was not better exhibited during the day
than In the entire unselfshness with
which they surrendered their "best girls" to
the visitors. A more courteous act 1t would
be difficult to imagine, and when this was so
cordially seconded by the winning smiles of
the young ladies, needless is it to add that
the cyclers were thoroughly delighted. Ten
dances constituted the order, and 1t was pre-
cisely midnight when the last strains of
waltz music were continued by the cheer of
the enthusiastic visitors for Belfast and its
cyclers, who will long be remembered as the
most princely entertainers yet known to the
division.
After that, Landlord Bemis was again on
deck with midnight lunch, and, a tired but
happy crowd, the wheelmen sought the rest
required. the Portland aud Biddeford cy-
clers returned by special train Sunday morn

for some time, left his residence at about 9
o'clock Friday morning for a walk, and did
not return. His family was of course much

this evening he turned up in Oldtown, and
was returned to this city. This is not the
first time that General Hodsdon has recently
wandered away. A few weeks ago people
who live on the Webster side of the river at

with his oveIcoat on his arm. His peculiar
movements aroused the suspicion that all
might not be well. and they proceeded to in

Harris came along and recognizing General
Hodsdon, brought him to his home in this
city. He had no idea whatever of his
whereabouts but told Mr.. Harris that he
was in Aroostook county and remarked up
on the apparent fertility of the surrounding
fields; His mental condition that day was
