BEDDING,

Samuel B. Rowland died quite unex- pectedly, Monday afternoon about p m. He has been we'll for man of S2, till within few days, when he had an attack of grip. He died sitting in his chair. Residing in Bedding for many years and being at one time quite pros- porous farmer, he was one of our best known citizens, though of late years, owing to mental weakness, he has rath- CT shrunk from public view. He was brother of the late Joseph Rowland, one of the leading men of Weston for many years. He lost two children, some years ago, his eldest son Frank and his only daughter Annie. His wife died about a year ago; her death affected him deeply and he has not been himself since. He with him.

 Every pair of new shoes is a strong reason for some one to buy; there are 2000 new pairs. Ladies will see the force of the argument, when they see the new styles in kid shoes.
 Some beautiful designs at $4 50 and $5; and at Swell, come and see, then you'll think more of your opinion than of mine.
 They were good before, but I wouldn't be satisfied if they were not still better, this season; trade grows. I can afford it; more styles too.
 I and my clerks like to show these shoes. Nobody is leased to buy.

PoRTLAND's GAME.
They Played Better Ball than the Salem
Nine Yesterday.

Though Salem did make bold at
tempt to win the game iu the first inning
yesterday, making three hits with a
total of four, and three runs, they were
unable to keep the lead, the home team
out-batting and out-felding them, and
winning handily.
After the home team had been blanked
in their half of the first, Salem came in
to win. Mccarthy lead off with a hit.
Deadly hunted to Kirmes who threw wild
to first, allowing Deadly to get there, and
Mccarthy to get third, Briggs made a
fine double to left, both men scoring.
Moore was first out on fly to Clymer.
Dorsey hit for base, sending in Briggs,
but was left, as Spear went out Carey to
Rogers and Smith struck out.
Portland scored one in the first half of
the second, Rogers leading off with a
hit, and after Lachance had struck out,
taking second on a hit by Clymer to
centre, and third, when Killeen let the
ball go by him. He scored on Burns S
single, Clymer going to second and third
when Deadly let the hit go through him,
Burns taking second. Platt hit to Smith
who threw to cCarthy, catching Clymer
at the plate. Burnes and Platt were left
as Carey struck out. Salem made one in
their half of the same inning, Killeen
getting three Dagger and scoring on
Deady's single.
Portland won the game in the third,
when two bases on balls, two hits and a
pair of bright yellow errors, one by
Deadly and the other by Dorsey, yielded
four runs. The next and last run was
made in the seventh, Kirmes leading off
with hit. O'Brien flied out to Moore,
Rogers hit to centre for single, and
Killeen let the ball go through him to
the fence, Kirmes scoring and Rogers go
ing to third. Lachance flied out to
Deadly and Rogers was caught at the
plate, Deadly to MCCARTHY. AS Rogers
went by Mccarthy he hit him, whether
accidentay or not it is hard to say, but
Mac, who is one of the quietest of play
ers, got hot and threw the ball at Rogers
and hit him in the leg. He apo1ogized
after the game for it.
The playing of the home team was
very fine, the fielding especially. Burns
led at the bat, and Carey fielded his
position in a way that is seldom seen il
minor league. Webster umpired fine.

to attend the meet. Nearly every fast
wheelman in Portland, including Brow n,
Liscomb, Sculley and Tobie, will COM
pete in the races and it is probable also
that G. D. Alexander will enter in the 20

two professional and two amateur dashes
in which many fast men are entered.
Fred Hartwell, the f1eetest amateur run
ner in this city, is entered in both the
100 and the 220 yards amateur dashes.
A mile running horse race which
promises to be a most exciting event,
will conclude the afternoons sport. The
club is trying to make arrangements for
special train to run out from Portland
at noon and return Immediately after the
races. AS special prize for record
breaking fine diamond stud or ring is
offered as reward to the man who will
put the Maine record down lowest.
Two well known gentlemen of this
city have made bet that Mr.. Frank
Brown, who is considered the swiftest
racer on a bicycle, can beat first-rate
horse in run between Portland and
Saco and return. One of the gentlemen
has gone to Boston to obtain horse
such as he desires and then the minor
details of the race will be arranged. A
good driver will drive the horse in a
light wagon, and Brown will ride his
| bicycle.
