The coming bench show in Lewiston,

held east of Boston under the A. K. c..
rules. The indications are that the
bench show will be one of the biggest
and best ever held in Maine. It will call
to Lewiston many dogs from out of the
city and among them Mr.. Sears's string
from Melrose headed by the great Sir
Bedivere. The best pointer at the Bos-
ton bench show was Dexter dog. Mr..
g. St. L. Abbott has some very fine dogs
and will have them all at the show. Mr..

add to the interest in the show. Port

The Californian Chinese.
Boston Transcript.)

"Yes, we hate the Chinese worse n
pizenp' said the old Californian; ''but
the yellow devils have done good deal
for us, after ALL can see it when + m
out of the State. They've been right on
hand to build our railroads and dig our
reservoirs and irrigating bitches and won k
out in the raisins and the grain, sun hot
or rain pour. They're patient lot, sit
ting bow-legged and eating rice with
their toothpicks day in and day out after
their hardest work. The coolies have
done California more good than harm !;
they've washed dishes and tended to the
cooking, too, for the whole State, till
there's hardly woman on the Slope who
thinks she can keep house without one
or more of EN- around. But you've got
to be Chinaphobe if you live in Califor-
ma; it's in the air. You may not be
able to get white man to pick peach
or cut kernel for you for. any amount
OF money, but you're bound to curse the
Chlnanan just the same, hit or miss;
though you may be paying him good
money to do good work all the time.
Yes, they bring along a lot of corruption,
but blest if know any better way of
getting it out.of 'em than by letting 'em
work it out, doing our chores for us.
Shouldn't wonder If the time'll come
be crowding across the continent SO
plentiful that you'll find more of EN-
knocking for work at your Boston doors.
You'll bate 'em all, just as we do. but
then you'll find they can do their work
well and clean up the pieces. This Bos-
ton notion of loving the Chinaman as a
brother won't work just yet awhile, not
for general rule. Take the cultured
ones, and it's different. ] sat down to
dinner once with Chinee-cultureder
than any Boston man in town. He spoke
so smooth and elegant that my talk
sounded like pigieon English beside him,
ana what he didn't know wasn't worth
knowing: That's the ideal of Chinee,
ana ideals, take 1t, is what this world
Is is humping itself to ketch up with"
Inc old Californian jammed in his soft
nat and walked away thoughtfully.

ARTHUR #. CLARKE.

In 1890 he was engaged by the New Yofk
Club OK tae National League, and during
that SEASON took part in 101 championship
contests, playing the various positions Of
catcher, second base, third base and right
field in very creditable manner. He also
ranked very high that season in two most
important departments of the game, base
running and sacrifice hitting. Clarke
continued catching for the New York
club in 1891, when he alternated with
Buckley in doing most of the work be-
hind the bat. Clarke stands five feet
eight inches high and weighs about 1856
pounds. During his brief professional
career he has shown such skill as catcher
as to warrant competent critics in pre-
dieting for him brilliant and successful
future.

The second and final winter meeting OF
the Yale Athletic Association was held ali
New Haven, on April 2. The games.
which were open to all amateurs, were
well attended and finely contested. The
wrestling and sparring were the best ever
seen in New Haven. In the open events
Yale held her own. Harvard succeeded in
catching the first prize in the thirty-yard
dash, and he Boston Athletic Associa-
ton carried off the honors in the pole
vault.
Z The sparring between Heffelfinger. the
giant left guard OF last years foot bali
team, and Kidd, 1872, was the feature OF the
evening, and awoke great enthusiasm.
Heffelfnger was clearly too much for his
opponent, and knocked him around the
floor like top. In the last round Kidd
went to the floor under Hefelfnger's
powerful blows and dislocated his knee.

sHATTUcK NOT TO RUN.

Amhcrst's Crack Athlete will mot Conas
pete this Year.
So many different reports concerning
Shattuck, Amherst's champion quarter
mile runner, have been going the rounds,
1t may be well to state authoritatively
that in all probability he will not COM
pete t is season in any game. His parents
object to his running on account of the
time and strength required. The Athletic
Association, as may be imagined, has
used every means to bring it about that
Sbattuck should run this spring, but has
not yet succeeded. In him the track
athletic team loses it's best member.

Harvard's Challenge.

Columbia, Princeton and Yale have
been challenged by Harvard to team
race of one mile, four men to constitute a
team, each man to run one-quarter OF a
mile. Team races have been very popu-
lr late, and this event is likely to draw
large crowd. It is also likely that such
athletes as Wendell Baker, J. P. Lee, Wal
ter Dohm, W. Downs, Williams, Yale's
champion hurdler, win be among the COM
petitors. If the day is favorable the
meeting at Cambridge, though coming
very early, promises to be one of the most
successful meetings ever held In New
ENGLAND.

FOREST FIRES CAUSE EXCITEMENT.
Our quiet little town was the scene of
considerable excitement on Fast Day. oc-
casioned by forest fires. Early in the
morning small fire was kindled on
Bradbury's mountain, which spread with
lightning rapidity, but owing to the time
ly attention of Mr.. True Warren was un-.
der control before serious damage was
done. Later another fire was kindled in
the pasture owned by Mr.. Bella Kicker
for the purpose of burning underbrush.
In few moments acres were one seeth-
ing mass of fame; and for some hours
the buildings of Mr.. Jesse Snow were in
imminent danger of being destroyed, but
crew of men quickly gathered, and
after several hours of hard work sue
ceeded in getting the fire under con-
troll. Early in the week Mr.. Alroy Moves
set fire near his house, and owing to a
sudden rise of wind the flames spread to
within a few feet of the buildings, and it
required the united efforts Of fourteen
men to extinguish the flames.
There have been several cases of scar
let fever at North Pownal, and a death
