As an after-dinner speaker.
Cleveland gained no little fame
When citizen uutrammeled

And It some way seems quite curious
That man OF such renown
Isn't importuned by veterans
And by Posts in every town
To deliver an Grafton
On their own Memorial Day,
Held in honor OF the heroes
Whe were present in the fray.
What treat 'twould be to listen,
And IT really would be fun

PICKED UP A RAFT.
A Report that More of the Passengers Es-
capped from the Colima,

San Francisco, May 31.-A dispatch re-
ceived today from Guatemala, says the
steamer Barracuda picked up raft with
nine passengers of the wrecked steamer
Colima. The Barracou ta has not yet put
into port, and at the Pacific Mail office
it is believed the steamer signalled one of
the smaller vessels searching for the miss
ing boats near the shore The company
has telegraphed for full list of those
rescued. The later details are contained
in the following:
''Colima, Mex, May 81.
Six survivors of the steamer Colima
have reached here. John Thornton, J. E.
Childbred of Seattle cabin passengers
Lewis Peters and Vindor, seainen /;
Gonzales and Fred johnson. They got
ashore on a raft from which three seamen
were lost. Another raft with five persons
was seen near San Telmo. Its fate is
unknown. The women and children were
all in their state rooms and all went down
with the steamer
A despatch from Manzanillo SAYS that
the survivors saw Plrser Wafer in a well
manned boat pulling away from the
sinking steamer towards the shore 1t
is supposed that the boat is still afloat.
There Is some anxiety displayed among
the shipping men concerning the safety
of the American schooner Hayes, reported
yesterday as having been caught in a
heavy swell which the CoIima en-
countered. A paper here says on inves-
tigation it may be proved submarine
earthquake caused the wreck of the
ColiIna.

do with a grounder when it is coming for
him. He may be given chance in the
field if he can play it, for he is a good
hitter and base runner

lost 3-six victories and six defeats.
= The Portlands were in fifth place at
this time last season, and with good men,

we have still a good chance to come out
pretty near the top
Manager Garrity did not leave with the
team last night. He has been threatened
with illness and the doctor advised him
to stay at home for few days.
Bangor starts on her western trip badly
crippled. Sharrott still has a lame hip,
it is doubtful if George Moore can play
for several weeks because of the bad in
jury to his knee on Thursday.
Dextraze tore ligament from his ankle
in his slide to third in the eighth inning
OF the forenoon game and was attended
on the field by DR.. Bickford. The injury
was a painful one and will be likely to
lay him off for time
. The Bangor News says that ''the Ken
nebec people have been finding lots of
fault with Lezotte's umpiring. They
must be hard to please. If a worse
umpire never comes to Bangor than
Lezotte,. there II be no fault found here. -
Lezotte means right, but he is a little
off ON balls and strikes
Thursday Hayes of Bangor, when he
went to bat, was presented with a crisp

he richly deserves it and that he puts life

player, but he isn't hardly heavy enough.

datiOns.

A visit to Rigby's famous mile yester
day disclosed the fact that the track is in
the best possible condition for this time
in the season. A crew of men is busily
at work on the course following the in
structions sent by Seth Griffin for putting
it in shape for the races to come. Several
trainers have strings of horses at the

Manager Farnham from prominent
Southern and Western horsemen asking
for stabllng accommodations for the
Circuit meeting 1t is no exaggeration
To say that there will be nearly five hun
dred horses at the track at different times
during the season. New England turfmen
anticipate the greatest sport this year
that has ever been seen in this section of
the country. The contract for building
four new stables, each one two hundred
feet long and containing fifty stalls was
awarded yesterday to Mr.. E. W. Hunt of
this city who will commence on them the
first Of next week.
I'd Manager Farnham is now in cores

startling judges in the country, among
them j. L. Mccarthy, John Culberson

important position for the four NEE tings
Upon the starting judge depends much of
the success of a meeting, and lovers of
