THE PoRTLAND-BANGoR GAME.
Manager Donahue Proves that He Was Not
at Fault for the Non-appearance of the
Officials at the Game.

To the Editor of the PRESS:
The Bangor papers have accused me
of falsifying when.I asserted that l tele-
graphed officials to act in the game
played here December 1. The officials
were not agreed upon until late date.
1t was after. the Thanksgiving vaca-
tion had commemorate the colleges.
Knowing such to be the TACT, de-
layed informing the gentlemen decided
upon until early Saturday morning, at
which time felt sure they could he

would not receive message in sufficient
season to enable him to take the morn
ing train from Waterville to Portland
thought it advisable to ask DR.. Whittier.
who had umpired in the first Bangor
Portland game, and who was satisfactory
to both teams, to act in Misplace.
Professor Smiths letter to the Port
land PRESS would seem to confirm ac-
cusat.ons, but proofs given below ought
to be satisfactory evidence that I made
all reasonable efforts to have agreeable
officials on hand.
The following is copyfof message sent
Professor Smith:

Bangors' charges are, therefore, misdl-
rected. Portiand's course throughout
the season has been honorable in every
way. She has played with all teams pos
sible, and has fairly earned the pennant.
Bangor's ill-timed challenge is quite
ridiculous. Immediately after the last
game An offer to play another game was
made by Portland to Manager Hennessy.
but it was not accepted. Next season
Portland will defend her title of cham
pion against ali comers.

HARBOR NEWS.
An Ocean Tragedy-Flag at Half
Mast.

Pumping All Day at Forty Gents An Hour
A Pair of Oars and An Arrest-A Fleet
of Coasters.
The harbor was wild and wintry place
yesterday, yet the feet of hfty OF more
coasters, heavy laden, safely aAchofeo'
made it seem very comfortable and cosy, at
thought of the raging elements ou'si'e.
This feeling was intensified by the presence
of the schooner Elsie NJ. Smith, OF Glouces-
ter. living at the end of Commercial wharf,
with a flag at half-mast, futterlng IN me
cold wind and sadly eloquent OF tragedy
of the sea.
The schooner came in Saturday night
vii h al O00 MIXED fish, Last Tuesday while
on Cash,s Banks some miles off this coast,
Iames Ieary of Philadelphia and Dominick
Newhouse were out in dory hauling their
travis, their boat being half full of fish.
Joseph Perry and Harry Hall were in an
other dory near by. Their boat was empty
and they successfully rode huge wave, but
when the other and heavy-laden boat was
reached the wave overturned ii, and the
two men were thrown into the icy water.
Perry and Hall rowed to their assistance as
fast as possible. Newhouse was saved, but
Leary could not keep af1oat, and was
drowned. He was about thirty-five years
old and had recently shipped at Gloucester.
PUMPING HER OUT.
The fishing schooner Gertie Lewis. came
up the harbor last Friday, leaking badly.
When on Jeffries' bank, under command Oh
Captain John Bickford of Long Island, she
suddenly sprung aleak, and SO badly, that
they had to start for shore with all hands
at the pumps. She was beached Saturday
at South Portland and nearly emptied, ana
that night brought over into Portland Piers
dock. By.Sunday morning she had made
three feet of water, and as there was
danger of her sinking in the dock, the
captain hired two men to keep her af1oat
yesterday.
There was more than foot of water IN
the cabin, and while one man threw that
ouI the other labored at the pumps. All
day long they labored. and were able to gain
on the leak. 1t was hard. cold work IN the
storm, but they hung up large piece OF
canvas and kept off the wind. They re-
ceived 40 cents an hour and each MADE S4
for their days work. This morning the
schooner will be taken across to South
Portland, placed on the blocks and the leak
stopped.
The fishing schooner Josephine Swanton
came on Saturday with both topmasts
carried away. 1t happened some time ago,
and she has been to sea without them.

that the crew has left we don't know, but
they have, and she is to be hauled up.
Saturday, Officers Greely and Skillings
went off in a.boat to the schooner Island
Queen, that was lying in the stream. The
captain of the E. f. Willard had complained
that he had lost dory and declared that
he saw the oars on board the Island Queen.
The officers arrested the captain and mate
and brought them ashore and then the COM
plainant would Lot swear to the identity OF
the oars and so the matter dropped.

The character of the meat of growing

Farmers and live stock men at present
need to study above all the different
foods given to animals, noting the effect
of each. The experiment stations are
doing this to some extent at present. but
not sufficiently.
A knowledge of scientific feeding is
what we want.

American Breeds of sheep.

The one-the result Of the greatest care

Vermont hills, supplemented by an
abundance of heterogeneous food; care
fully housed from every raindrop and
as constantly protected from the sun
and rain by an impervious blanket
has developed into a sheep nowhere
equaled as a wool producer. The other,
by constant neglect, has resulted in a
race with smaller bodies and longer
legs, active and reliant, capable of pick
ing a living in scanty pastures and
among rocks and bushes and living for
weeks with no water but such as could
be got from the dew laden heritage.
They are light shearers, but have a con-
stitution and hardness nowhere else
found. If we take the special bred and

ject them to the same neglect and want
of care that our common sheep get, we

In fattening horses for sale flaxseed
Jelly or even oilmeal steamed will be
found to give very great satisfaction II
fed in moderation, it assists digestion
and puts glossy skin ON the animals.
1t is essentially fat forming food, and,
strange to say, also helps to build up
good working muscle if fed in small
quantities. Many a hardworked truck
horse would do much better if given a
handful of oilmeal in his nights feed
1t goes without saying that when get
ting horses into flesh for the market the
quicker the requisite amount can be put
on the better it will be for the seller.
A friend of the writer recently bought
from one farm 80 great, big, powerful
geldings that had done a rough winters
work on indifferent care and looked
badly in consequence. They were fed
as noted above and in six weeks went
off at very handsome profit, as nice
looking a bunch as ever were in stable
together. The reports Of every market
for horses contain this expression,
'"These prices for horses of such and
such an age, sound and in good flesh , 4"
1t is impossible to get good price for
thin horses, and there is no sense in get
ting rid of them at what they will fetch
and letting some one make all the profit
by simply putting 100 pounds Of meat
on their frames One man can do it as
well as another.
There is another point to be noted in
thus getting horses ready for the mar
ket. The feeder must carefully note ev-
cry animals feeding capacity. Scarcely
any two horses in the same stable will
do equally well on exactly the same ra
ton. The feeds must be arranged in
proportion to capacity. In most of the
middle western states as well as in the
east there are men who make a bust
ness of buying up thin horses and put
ting flesh on them, and these operators
generally get rich The rule about good
flesh on the open horse market holds
good with road and carriage horses as
well as with the heavier kinds, and it is
more easily complied with, for it takes
much less feed to get trim driver into
shape than big, heavy drafter.
A word or two of advice as to MAX
ing horses up for show may not be out
of place, in view of the fact that many
local exhibitions take place at the be-
ginning of the season. The stallion that
is ''an run down. - though he may be
the best horse of the lot, will attract the
least attention To get light harness
horses into condition for show at this
time, sloppy feed must be avoided, and
crushed oats, barley and bran take the
place of softer foods
Plenty of exercise must be given and
good grooming done every day. If soft
flesh would do for a stallion to make his
season on, it could be as easily and
quickly put on, as in the other cases
mentioned, but better and more serv-
iceable article is demanded and can
only be supplied with grain and work
A mash, however, may be given with
advantage at night 1t should be warm,
very nearly dry, and twice a week a
good sized rutabaga or a few boiled car
rots should be added
