Especial to the Press.]
Brunswick, April 25.-The Bowdoin team
played in poor luck this afternoon on the
Delta, and the visitors had little difficulty
in rolling up big score. The two Bowdoin
pitchers were under the weather and two
substitutes were put in their place. Coburn
was an easy mark and retired after the
second inning Sawyer, '97, was still
easier, and Kelley of the Portlands came in
to help him out. The home team lost heart,
but in the seventh inning braced up and
punched their hits, pulling themselves out
of the hole. In the fourth inning Sykes
made a pretty hit out in center field, and
made his two bases. Dodge caught an
elegant fly in right field, and the fine
double play of Sykes and Fairbanks won
applause. Haines, the Freshman catcher,
played a strong game, and with practice
will creditably fill Aliens old position. For
the Portlands the hits of Slater, Casey and
Carey did telling work. Kelley, who pitched
during part of the game for Bowdoin. did
not show up very well. Following is the
detailed score:

Xiphioid Whales Which Belong to Longs

Prior to 1855 the naturalists of Amer
lea knew nothing of xiphioid whales
except from comparisons and the fossil
records of the geological ages During
the year mentioned, however. one of
these queer cretaceans was stranded
upon the sands at Barnegat City, N. j..
J. II. Ridgeway and his assistants
managed to save the specimen, and inn
mediately telegraphed for the officials
of the National museum of Washing
ton. They went, of course, and took
all the apparatus necessary for preserv-
ing such a unique curiosity. Among
these Smithsonian worthless were sci>
entists of international reputation, yet
the creature before them could not be
assigned to its proper class until after
the brain was critically and scientific
ally examined-this on account of its
great rarity. Before removing the
flesh preparatory to making slzele-

plaster cast of the exterior was made
After this operation had been finished
in all it's minute details the meat was
cut away and the bones carefully artic-
ulated. A scientific report of the Incl.

A portion of the glory of Mobile,

The extent of the depreciation in

In walking through one of the old
