others in "a row boat
The trip to the Harbor was safely made,
and the return trip started at 5.45 O'Clock.
just before midnight, the party in the
row boat reached Ocean Point, having
been Obliged to seek shelter about s
o'clock, from fierce wind and rain squall
that swept over the harbor. They had
seen nothing of the sail boat and supposed
that the boys had long before arriy ed

Harbor. At about T O'Clock, this morn

People Will Attend.

Waterville Aug. 4.-(SpeciaD. The
whole city seems to have gone completely
wild over the great ball game, fat men vs.
lean men, which will be played on the
Colby grounds Tuesday afternoon, the
proceeds of which are to go for the benefit
of the kennebeo Valley Base Ball Associa-
tlon. to help make up the loss to the asso
citation, financially, which has resulted
from the slim crowds which the games
played in this city have drawn.
During the past few days the interest
has been greatly increased and several of
the business men of the city went to the
committee haying the game in charge,
asking them to make a movement to have
the stores CLOSE for the afternoon
The committee went about the work
and found ev verybody, without IL single
exception, Clap to agree with the Others
to close, and eHery kind of store, drug
stores, dry goods, groceries and al, bar ber
shops, business and professional offices,
everything, WI Il be in Sunday quietness,
and proprietoHs and clerks all at the ball
game. The Smallest estimate. of the peo
pie who will te in nattendanc5fSsslheg game
is 1000, while some believe thersNvill be
1900 or more.
Many will 60 solely to help the Kenne
