How Bowdoin Ball Players Downed the
Colby Boys.
rsnecial to the Press.1

Especial to the Press,1
wATERv11LE, April 3o-The Bowdoin-
Colby game today was one of the most
exciting played on the home diamond for
years. At one time the game would
seem to be well in the hands Of one of
the clubs, when by fatality of errors
and poor batting the situation would be
reversed. The game was destined to the
Bowdoins evidently, and they deserved
it for the gallant fight they made during
the ten innings, outbatting but not out
fielding the CoIbys. The Bowdoins
punched their hits at the right time,
which Colby could not do. The score:
BoWDoINs.

A JAPANESE GARDEN.

The Sensations There INperienccd-Fa-
miiiarity of Its Animal Inhabitants.
Lafcadio Hearn, in an article in the
Atlantic devoted to Japanese garden,
writes thus of his own garden and some
of its inhabitants:
''Those antique garden walls, high
messed below their ruined coping of
tiles, seem to shut out even the muir
muir of the city's life. There no sounds
but the voices of birds, the shrilling of
semi, or, at long, lazy intervals the
solitary plash Of diving frog. Nay,
those walls seclude me from much
more than city streets. Outside them
huns the changed Japan of telegraphs,
and newspapers, and steamships; with
IN dwell the all-reposing peace of ma
ture and the dreams of the sixteenth
century. There is a charm of quaint
ness IN the very air; a faint sense of
something viewless and sweet all about
one; perhaps the gentle haunting of
dead ladies who looked like the
ladies of the old picture-books and
who lived here when all this was
new. Even in the summer light
touching the gray, strange shapes of
stone thrilling through the foliage of
the long-loved trees-there is the ten
dcrness of q phantom caress. These are
tho gardens of the past. The future
will know them only as dreams, crea-
lions of a forgotten art, whose charm |
no genius may reproduce
OF the human tenants here no crea-
turc seems to be afraid. The little
frogs resting upon the lotus leaves
scarcely shrink from my touch; the liz
ards sun themselves within easy reach
of my hand; the water snakes glide
across my shadow without fear; bands
Of semi establish their deafening or
chestra on plump branch just above
my head; and praying mantis inso-
emily poses on my knee. Swallows
Ind sparrows not only build their nests
IN my roof, but even enter my rooms
Without concern-one swallow has
actually built its nest in the ceiling of
ne bathroom-and the weasel purloin-
isa under my very eyes without any
eruples of conscience. A wild uguisu
erches on cedar by the window, and
n burst OF savage sweetness .chal-
onges my Gagged pet to contest in
ong; and always through the golden |
II, from the green twilight of the {
fountain pines, there purls to me the I
lalntlvc, caressing, delicious call of the c
No European dove has such 0
cry. He who can hear for the first a
me the voice of the yamabato without /
'ellng new sensation at his heart lit il
c deserves to dwell in this happy b
orld." II

Columbus, Cannon

Two of the cannon which, it is be-
licved, were at one time mounted on
board Christopher Columbus flagship
ver received at Chicago recently. The
can ION are Of the ancient and clumsy
pattern OF such guns turned out in the
fifteenth century. Nothing bat the
body of the guns remains, the wood
work, of course, having rotted away
centuries ago. The guns themselves
arc almost worn to pieces and are not
much more than huge chunks of rust.
Indeed, the cannon are pat on the
scrap iron" list in the custom house
papers. These historic old pieces have
been secured for exhibition at the
worl,3s fair. One of the naval officers
who was detailed for work in connec-
ton with the Columbian exposition
found the relics at one of the West In
dian Islands. Tradition and substantial
proof ahowed that the cannon lad been
used in fort erected by Columbus
son. and that they were brought from
Spain with Columbus fleet. The ruins |
If the fort are still to be seen.
