gramms Of Thursday.

EAST FAIRFIELD, July 26.-(SpeciaI -
| Among the words of wisdom spoken early
in the encampment to the boys of Good
Will Farm, were these: Whatever you
do. do it we'll. If you play ball, play to
beat" These last words were regarded,
and on Wednesday the boys played bali
well and got all they played for. TIE
Good Win Farm faced nine selected from
the visitors and won a glorious victory.
The visiting nine was strong team, CON-
posed of young men from Brewer and Fair
field. Dedham, Mass, University of New
York, Brown university and Japan; but
even this combination left the field beaten,
| thong not utterly broken up. The game
was called at the end of the eighth inning,
with the score standing Is to Is. A large
company witnessed this fine exhibition and
all will surely be present at future games.
Arrangements have already been made for
several during the week.
The athletic department of the encamp-
msnt is under the supervision of Mr.. G. L..
Meylan of New York. Mr.. Meylan was
for several years the physical instructor of
the Bangor Y. NJ C. A., and is himself a
splendid example of all around physical de-
velopment His work of week with the
boys will be beneficial, surely. Associated
with him is Mr.. F. d. Elmer of Brown uni
versity, another fine specimen of we'll
developed manhood, mental and physical.
These two are with the boys on the dia-
| mond, in the tennis court, and at the daily
swim in the river.
Among the more recent arrivals are Rev.
Fl. W. Winkley of Saco; Mr.. r. A. Jor-
dan, secretary of the Bangor Y. M. c. A.;

Several new tents have been pitched and
the ''tented field is really busy place.
On Wednesday evening there was de-
mand for extra sitting in the tent. Mr..
| Chiba continued his description of life in
Japan, and by fine collection of pictures,
idols, ETC., he illustrated the religious life
and customs of his people. Rev. w. p.
Chapman read one of his capital boys sto-
ries, entitled "Tom Lawton's sled" The
boys were delighted with it, and Mr.. Chip
man and his stories will be in demand dur
ing the encampment. Showers passed
around the camp during the evening, af-
fording a wonderful display of heavens
| fireworks, but causing no inconvenience to
the encampment.
| Today the exercises are being attended
by increasing numbers and the interest is
increasing in every way. Secretary r. A..
Jordan made the principal address of the
morning devotional hour. The boys all
extend hearty welcome to Mr.. Jordan and
his words, which are always we'll chosen
and heartily received. At 10 o'clock, Rev.
Henry w. Winkley, rector of the Trinity
church of Saco, began his series of talks on
shells. Mr.. Winkley is an enthusiastic
conchologist and is well acquainted with his
subject, having given much time and labor
to his study. He is very interesting
speaker, carrying with him his hearers, old
and young. His work is richly illustrated
| by diagrams and shells.
This department of study is to be made
specially of the encampment under the
leadership of Mr.. Winkley. Mr.. G. l..
Meylan continued his practical talks to the
boys on "How to Take Care of the Body, y
and this was followed by second address
by Mr.. Chas. Chapman. Both of these
were deeply interesting aud instructive.
