THE CHECKER MATCH.
Yesterday Was an Off Day for Dingiey
and Shaw Went Ahead.

Yesterday was selected for continuing
the series of checker games, which Mr..
Albert Dingley of Deering, and Mr.. Har-
ry Shaw of Portland, are playing for the
championship of Maine. Previous to
yesterday ten games of the series had
been played, of which seven were drawn
and two were won by Dingley and one
by Shaw.
The series was continued yesterday
afternoon and evening in the rooms of
the Deering club, at Woodlands. A con-
siderable audience of Deering and Port
land men who are interested in the game
gathered to witness the play.
It proved to be an off day for Mr..
Dlngley, and Mr.. Shaw, by cool playing,
won all three of the afternoon games.
The second game of the afternoon was
one of the prettiest OF the series, and for
the benefit of lovers OF checkers. we
publish the details of it. The numbers
indicate the squares on the accompany
ing diagram, the first number being the
square of departure, and the second the
square to which the piece is moved.
When black is moved a dash is put be-
tween the figures: but for white no dash
is used. BY use of board arranged
like this diagram the game may be re-
produced. 1t began with the Bristol
opening, Mr.. Shaw playing the black.

be seen at Portland Theatre. AS "a play
it is unique A clever satire on the WAYS
and means of lepalized gambling in
stocks, the ticker plays throughout an
important part. The rise and fall of
stocks is made to point moral as well
as to afford amusement, and Bronson
Howard's skill as dramatist is admira-
bly, shown in the blending of comedy and
serious interest which makes this story
of love most characteristic among the
stage offerings of the times. Nicholas
Van Alstyne is Mr.. George S. Wood

boundless wealth, utterly unscrupulous
as to the means by which he adds to his
millions. But there are good traits as
well as bad in this magnate among bulls.

Have YOU ever noticed what habit
there IS among nearly all classes of peo-
pie to desire to .sexhibit. the remains at
funerals. Sometimes the practice is car
ried to extremes and I can hardly believe
that it is done so much out of respect for
the ifeless remains as out of obedience
to a morbid and senseless curiosity. Here
is an anslnstance. A man in Philadelphia
had died of diphtheria, and the authori-
ties very properly refused to permi. a
public funeral. So the family had the
coffin containing the corpse stood on
end in front of a window of the house,
so that the face of the dead could be
viewed from the street. Rambler.
