Her Dream. 80 minis. came true.


The following remarkable recent ex-
perience of a Portland lady is a fact:
She had been absent from her home all
day and that night she had a dream.
She thought that she had started to de-
scend the cellar stairs when a great snake
came gliding up Tt reared its head close
to her and stood there swaying back and
forth. and suddenly the head began to
change and assume the form of a human
head, and finally the face Of one of her
neighbors was gTinning at her on the
serpent's body. She awolze with q
scream. The neighbor was one whom
She knew bat slightly, but with whom
she was not favorably impressed.
The next morning her servant. a most
excellent cook and so generally superior
as to have become almost a mem Der of
the family, told her that she must leave
her, as the neighbor of the dream had
come to the house during her absence the
day before and offered higher wages and
less work and better advantages gener-
ally. The result was the servant went
to the nelghb0r's s, and the lady feels that
her dream was appropriate. She had no
intimatiOn or suspicion that this neigh
Dor had designs upon her cook. and there
was nothing apparently to inspire her

TWO GOOD GAMES.
Some Excellent Cricket
at Alameda.
The Cup-Holders and the Pacifics
Win the Day-Three Tall Scores
by Three Good Men.

When the two leading clubs-the Ala
medas and BOhemias-eome together they
always draw a good crowd of spectators,
but that of yesterday was exceptions ally
large. The weather was perfect, which,
no doubt, had much to do with this, but
the certainty of witnessing good cricket
and possibly a close contest had more.
In regard to play. no one had any cause
for disappointment. Moriarty for Ala
media and Robertson for California gave
two batting performances that were worth
the trip over the bay to witness. So far as
the issue of the game was concerned there
was at every stage of the fight the greatest
excitement. and as the victory by the cup
holders was only by 27runs the interest of
onoOkers was well sustained.
As the scores how, the batting perform
anees. with the already noted exec ptions,
were not partic ularly brilliant. and in one
of these cases Moriarty's inning of 81
there were two misses, both OF which,
however. were difficult. OF field play
there were some deservedly appiauded in
stances, Robinson's One-handed catch of
Sloman being notable one.
OF the five bowlers put on by the Ala
medas' captain, SlOman did the best work,
aud Guild for the Bohemias got five
wickets for 81. an analysis which, consid-
ering the batting strength against him, is
distinctly meritoriOuS.

imply that the game was very one-sidad

the contrary was the case.

of fielding IN the warm half of the day.

OF the team contributed an average of
apiece. instead of something over 2, the
result of the match would have been re-

With 95 to make the Pacifics went in,
and, though Meyers and GrifTiths both
scored well. at the fall of tne seventh
wicket it was anYbody's game. At that
point Charley Hill joined Wise, who was
SET, and the two soon put ali doubts at
rest by piling up between them SO runs.
The bowling nOnors fell principally to
Arson for California and Griffiths for the
Pacifics. Msrsh- Browne of San Jose also
did good work with the ball for the win
