+ SCORED UNTIL SUPPER TIME.g
Bowdoin Ball Players Made 26 Runs While
Bates Made 8.

Especial to the Press.1
brunswick, May 2l.-Bowdoin and Bates
played their second game of the season this
afternoon. The first game was at Lewiston,
and Bates won IA to 6. But today the tables
were turned, and Bates could get but eight
runs while the Bowdoin boys piled up
twenty-six, only stopping because it was
supper time, and the visitors were anxious
to get back to Lewiston. The game was
close for few innings, but after four inn
lngs the home team stopped making the
rank errors that at first characterized it's
work, and at the same time settled down to
steady and terrific batting, that put the
game at once out of doubt. Plaisted pitched
a remarkable game, twirling out twelve
men, while the six hits off him were scat
tered through as many innings. Fairbanks
Plaisted, Williams and Sykes did the hardest
batting, though all were in the race.
Leighton at short, and Williams in the field,
played pretty games. Pulsifer and Gerrish
did the best work for Bates. The third
game will be played in Portland in a week
or two. Bowdoin plays two games with
Colby this week. The detailed score follows

THE FIELD OF SPORTS.
1t Was a Glorious Victory for Port
land Yesterday.

! -
Perfect Game by the Home Team-Out-
played the visibrs-Our New Third
Baseman Shows Up Wei.
| 1t was old yesterda' at the ball grounds,
| but there was fair attendance and nobody
cared for the weather because the home
boys gave the best exhibition of ball playing
| that they have ON the home grounds this
year. Their fielding would have been with
out an error, except for the unfortunate
| mistakes OF Burns ant Slater In the last
inning. There was ID need OF either OF
those, and it was too 'ad to spoil the day S
| record. But the Prtlands made many
brilliant plays. A hih fly went to left field
| from McCarthy's bat. The sun was in Cook S
| eyes and Garry cane leaping over from
centre as swift and gaceful as any deer.
| 1t was a long hit, buthe got there just in
| time. 1t was one of he finest catches ever
seen on the grounds.
Other good playingwas when the Brock
tons made desperate effort to score in the
fifth. That fFe-eatel Willis, was on third,
and Jack Burke sen a grounder to Slater.
Willis was almost in, but Slater picked it up
and threw in a beautiful way, and just as
the ball struck Mahoey, SO did Willis. The
latter turned somrsault over Mahoney,
who stood like rocL He had dropped the
ball, but he picked itup in time 10 put out
Willis, and prevent any score that inning.
The visitors got thir first three runs in
the third, and they rere all earned. Willis
and R'lack got hits Then Captain Tom
O'Brien hit the firstball in a splendid way.
II SCARED over left 1eld high in the air and
went over the fence Most of the audience
thought it went outside the foul pole, but
Kelleher called it far and the Portlands
didn't kick. Catchr Mahoney said, after
the game that it wet inside the foul post.
1t was a great hit anyway and it brought in
three runs.
Harry Smith ACCEPTED his seven chances
and got two hits. Hi playing was feature.
So was the fielding If our new man, the
other Smith on third He took everything
that came in cool, skilful way that filed
the crowd with delilht and confidence. He
| isn't bad hitter other, though luck was
against him yesterdg. Kiley and Mahoney
payed like clockwori. Not passed ball
and only one-man pt first on balls.
The Brocktons fought hard and gave our
men a good lesson n coaching, but they
made too many errGs, especially Corrigan,
the man with glass,s at short. Corcoran
caught a fnes game and Sneeds is good
pitcher.

Treatment of Horn Brittlencss

In trea ling cows for horn brittleness, a
stock raiser in Austria. found no good
resulting from feeding bone meal when
the water used from spring was per-
fectly soft-that is, without mineral
matter But upon changing them TO
the water of another spring containing
carbonate, sulphate and phosphate of
lime, and cholorate of magnesia in
small quantities, the effects were as
follows: l. The animals drank half
as much again as before. 2. The
cows gave more and better
milk than before. 3. The worst
diseased cows at once began to
get better, and this was the first case
in which any Of them recovered with
out removal. 4. The oxen showed far
better condition than could be pre-
viously attained on the best of food
and with the most careful attention.
No fresh cases occurred as soon us the
change of water was introduced.

lots and all the excitement and no
little Of the hard feeling of a regular
political contest. Mrs. LoZer has
been the honored president for the
past three years, but 1t appears that
Sorosls while not objecting to third
term draws the line at n fourth. Mrs.
Lozier was compelled TO retire under
this rule, and two candidates appear
ed for the succession. They were
Mrs. w. Tod Helmuth, wife of the
celebrated surgeon, and Mrs. Alma
Calder Johnson, the author. 1t seems
that there was an issue involved in
the election, but it Is pretty difficult
to define 1t. Mrs. johnson was the
regular candidate, representing the
hitherto ruling literary coterie, while
Mrs. Helmuth entered the field by
virtue of her wealth and social posi-
ton. Mrs. Johnson represented the
progressive element Of the club, Mrs.
Helmuth the conservative. As near
as can understand, the dividing line
was whether the woman of the future
is to be the superior or merely the
equal of man. Mrs. Johnson repre-
sented the idea Of woman's superior
ity. Mrs. Helmuth, as she expressed
1t herself, believed i'm the equality,
not in the supremacy of her SEX" On
these great issues the battle was
fought and Mrs. Helmuth won, by a
narrow majority.
The new president of Sorosis is a
charming woman, and as active in
good works as she is in society. She
has been member of Sorosis since
1876, and frequently on its executive
committee. She was the founder and

MILTON S. MAYHEM.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-04-06

nails are most carefully put in 1t often
happens that one will split under the
blows of the hammer and the horse
be lamed despite the best art of the
smith. To alleviate the dangers of
shoelng has been close study among
American horse-owners, notably with
Robert Bonner. His first step when
he purchased Maud s. from w. II. Van
derbilt for $4,000 was to change her
shoes in accordance with his ideas.
That the change was beneficial was
demonstrated to all horsemen at Cleve-
land, O., in 1885, when Maud s. made
her great mile in 2:0S%, a record never
equalled until the advent of the bicycle
sulky.
1t is Mr.. Bonner's theory that not
only Is speed increased In the trotter
but also the usefulness Of every type
of the driving and work horse aug
mented by proper shOeing. He Is most
emphatic in declaring that bad shoe
ing is the most frequent cause of lame
ness In horses.
In England owners have had the
same experience with work and car
riage horses, and after long-suffering
they have adopted n new plan to rem
edy the trouble, the use Of shoe
fixed firmly to the hoof without the
use of nails, the invention of a practi-
cal smith, Mr.. Benfield, Walsall.
The shoe is made of the best soft
steel. No tools but a rasp and ham,
mer are needed in putting ON the shoe.
After removing the old shoe, the bot
tom Of the foot is rGsped perfectly fiat
to. get thoroughly level bearing. Then
the shoe is placed on the foot, and il
1t should be a little too wide q knock
with the hammer will close 1t to the
required size, the quality of the steel
allowing for the opening or closing.
Then let the horse stand with his hoof
In the shoe (holding up one leg, if nee
essary, to make him stand firm) and
with hammer close the clips to the
noof. Thus fixed 1t will hold firmly
and keep in place better than a nailed
shoe. The small points of the slips
entering the hoof on the outside, t..
natural growth is not interfere, with
in the slightest degree and. ,ne danger
of injury by nails 10 10 entirely obviated.
Althou" pest applied by n skilled
blacksmith, any man of moderate skill
can remove an old or fix on Il new
shoe, by no means a small advantage.
Two styles Of the shoe are made.
For farming use and ordinary work
on country roads the shoe has a solid
tread, to which icecogs can be readily
applied. For city work and ordinary
driving purposes the shoe has rubber
