The Tables Turned.

Ii will he remembered that last spring
two of Augustus expert whist players,
Messrs. A. a. Chadbourne and J M Mixer,
met two of Hallowell's most doughty war
riors. Messrs. j. +. Bodwell and II. II.
Stinson in this city in mortal combat and
easily took their scalps. Again the battle
was taken up, this time at llallowell, and
again the Capital city braves bore home the
banner of victory. Reference to the files
If the IoURNAI. shows that there was great
rejoicing among the Augusta people ami
f,e Hallowell boys hearts wer,
cracked, if not quite broken
There is an old saving to the effect 'that
it's long road that has no turn" Well,
last night the truth of that sayiug was
proven. Ii is said that up on Weston
street something fell" With such a "dull
sjckcning thud" that about all hopes of re
<uci,ation or resurrection have been givef
up. II seems that the old conflict was re-
newed and the Hallowcll card manipulatorS
went home with "S6 to 80 in our favor
pasted in their hats 1t is limited tina. two
Augusta gentlemen and their friends are
feeling very badly The IIallowell lads
were certainly feeling well and looking
happy when they reported the outcome Of
the battle to the Jot RSAL last night.
