entertaining. He said that in our country

The Portlands Played Listless Game
Without . Captain.

The Fall Rivers won yesterdays game
without an effort. Phil Viau, the little
south paw twirler from Fall River, kept
our heavy hitters guessing, as was the
case last year when he pitched the
champion Woonsocket team to victory.
Fennelly played a great game, in fact
one OF the finest games ever seen on the
Portland grounds, while Charley Brady
won the admiration of all by his fine
work. The Fall Rivers played with
vim and dash that commanded the ap-
plause Of the spectators. For the home
team Charley Plat deserves the most
praise and to release this fine player
would be the height of folly. With
catcher to aid him be will be all right.

There is more OF less excitement in
the northern part of this grand old
Democratic town of Parsonsfeld. The
Republicans are happy, the Democrats
are unhappy. 1t begins to look as though
this town was getting ready to change
its political majority from the Democrat
ic column where it has always been found
to the Republican column where it never
was. If any one wishes to know the
cause all they have to do is to make
Kezar Falls visit and seek out some of
the men, on both sides, who do the work
during the political excitement and ask,
How do you like the appointment of
your new postmaster? The Republicans
all agree as to one thing viz:-from a
political stand point it is the best thing
that was ever done for their party for
this town and the town Of Porter across
the river. Amongst the Democrats you
