Rain Interfered with tho Lord Hawke-New
York Match.

Considerable disappointment was felt yester-
day when IL was known that the rain would
prevent a continuation of play in the big cricket
match between Lord Hawkes. team and New
York. Notwithstanding the rain, quite a num-
Der OF persons visited the grounds at Living
ston. All the New York players were punctually
on hand. but C. W. Wright was the only men,
Der OF the English team who thought there was
Q possibility Of play. Lord Hawke telephoned
from the Hotel Waldorf asking IL the ground
was in At condition for the match. and upon
receiving a negative reply he arranged with
the New York captain To start the play
this morning punctually at 1880 o'clock.
should the game not be finished this
afternoon there Is no reason why It should not
be extended over 70 Thursday. as the first Phil
adelphia match does not commence until FRI
day. The New York team will probably have
TO follow their inning, and while they ought 10
make more than $50 runs in their two attempts,
they will hardly do moro than give the English
men enough to knock ON for a few .iekets.

Lord Hawke expects that his first game with
the Gentlemen Of Philadelphia will prove his
hardest battle. The men will be on their mettle
for this match, for they all realize that every
one will have 10 do his best II victory Is to rest
with the team. The fret game will be played at
Haverford, the pretty, new ground OF the Merton

A REMARKABLE CASE.
An Old Man Suddenly Loses the Faculty OF
Reading-Cannot Recognize Letters and
Words Are Merely Hieroghyphics-
Eyesight Is All Right.

Thele Las been a most remarkable case at
the Maine General Hospital the past week.
Mr.. Marsh of Dixfield, man about 20 years
of age, had been suffering of late with
pains in his head and pal ticularly severe
pain that seemed to surround one of his
eyes. He came to the hospital about week
ago. and says that before he came he could
read, but that while he was there he became
unable to read. That is, he lost the faculty
of associating the letters of words with
their meaning and even of identifying some
OF the letters. For intance, AN seemed
to him some times to be W. and an to be
an |. He could take a line of print and pick
out some of the letters. He is always sure
of o. but the others bother him. A page of
print seems to him to be all mixed up. 1t
is great deprivation to the old man as he
has enjoyed reading all his life.
The doctors at the hospital said that 1t
was caused by kidney trouble. though he
declared that he had never had any kidney
trouble. He went home yesterday, unable
to read word or even to make out the
large letters on signs.
He is otherwise in good health. but is. of
course, good deal worried and harrassed
by his strange mental deficiency. for that it
seems to be rather than any trouble of the
eyesight.

A MISSING BOY.
Harry McLoon of Deering Centre Disap-
peared Wednesday Morning-Thought to
Have Gone to Boston.

Harry McLoon is boyssabout 10 or 10
years old, who lives with the family Of
his uncle, Mr.. John Turner, at Deering
Centre. His father, Captain McLoon, is
master of a large ship, and is away most
of the time, together with his second
wife. Wednesday morning, Harry went
to school at Morrills Corner, but did not
enter the building. He went into the
electric light station and got man to
change a SO bill for him. Then he took
the 9.15 car for Portland. When he
didn't come home that night the matter
was reported to Constable Ilsley and
Chief Berry of the police force. Yester-
day forenoon Mr.. Ilsley came to Port
land and notified Marsh 81 Trickey. He
made all possible inquiries and found
that boy answering young McLoon's
description had been seen near the Bos-
ton boat Wednesday night. 1t is thought
that he went to Boston, and that all the
money that he had was the So. There
appears to be no particular reason why
tn 9 boy should have left home. except
that he didn't like to go to school. He
was dressed in an ulster, white sweat
err, knickerbockers and:cap. He is pale,
thin boy.
