Base Ball.

The f. N. I. club of this place
and W. N. A. club played their
first game at Nottingham on Friday
last. The f. N. rs. were accom-
panied by nearly the entire school
who had been practicing their yell
and backed their team enthusi-
astically, while the Nottinghams
were supported by their school and
the ladies of the Seminary with
organized yells, and the crowds We'd
with one another in the encourage
ment of their respective players.
The game was well played up to
the ninth inning when the closeness
of the score and yells of the ''Sems"
proved too much for the nerves of
the Normal boys, who became
badly demoralized and piled up
error after error, which, coupled
with hit or two, enabled their
opponents to score ten runs thereby
winning the game. The batteries
were Hartenstine and Bryan for
the Normals, Conner, McCardell
and Devon for the Academy. Fol
lowing is the score by innings and

A NEW TRICK.
Charity and Picnic at South Port
land.
How a Young Man Gathered in $50 With
His subscription Papers South Port
land Excited.

How Young Man Gathered in $50 With
His subscription Papers South Port
land Excited.
A South Portland man tells us the
following story. He says that last week
man who gave the name OF James
Pray, and who was supposed to have
gone from Portland, was circulating
subscription paper for the benefit OF
man named Dyer, who was i'll andEhad
a family, and was in straitened csrcum-
stances. He was young man, this
PRAY, bright in countenance and well
dressed, with smooth face and dark
hair weighing perhaps $50 pounds, and
being about 5 feet inches tall He
was about % or 20 years old. The SUBJ
scribers to the paper were given tick
ct that would entitle them to the privi-
leges and so forth of a picnc TO the Two
Lights last Sunday. What money was
left over after the expenses of the picnic
were paid was to go to the sick man.
Our informant saw the young man
called Pray, in Albert Coles store. He
saw the long list of names on the sub
scription paper, and some had given
dollar, others SO cents. and still others
25 cents. Hesaw Mr.. Cole give him 20
cents. He himself was asked to give
so cents, and said that he would, but
didn't have the money with him and
would leave it at either Mr.. Coles or
Mr.. Quincy Dyer's store. Afterward he
left it at Mr.. Dyer's store. The latter said,
81 don't know about this; it doesn' It look
rieht.n Our informant thought no mo re
about it till he learned from Mr. Dyer
that he hadn't given away the SO cents
and would return it to him which he
did. The sick man Dyer, was relative
of his and was not in any such need of
help, though he was sick. The man
Pray had collected about $50 and was
supposed to have left town last Satur-
day with the money. At all events the
people haven't got their money, neither
has.Dyer and neither did they 20 on a
picnc last Sunday.
One man said to our informant that
Pray said that the subscription papers
were made out by Rev. S. f. Pearson.
The people of South Portland propose
to make it warm for Pray whenever OPP
portunity offers. 1t was supposed that
Pray came from Portland, but there is
no such name in the directory.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.


The Pavilion.
Large crowds took advantage of the
fine weather of yesterday, and fiocked to
the island to see the McCallum compa-
ny in the most beautiful home-like
drama yet produced, entitled "Christ-
mas Day." 1t is certainly a charming
performance and one that is greatly
pleasing the large houses that have
greeted it Miss Denny's selections this
much appls use. Mr.. McCallum has
special attractions this week. Miss
Maud Hayden is seen in her very clever
and refined speciality and Miss Flaherty
does some exceedingly clever dancing.
