SCIENTIFIC HANDBALL,
Riordan and Ki1galIon Defeat DonnelIy
and Bonnet at the Occidental
nurt

Ladies' night at the Occidental hand
ball court is always looked forward to with
pleasure by the gentler sex and so popular
has the game become that the attendance
exceeds the accommodation. Last night
the whole of the upper gallery was occu-
pied by ladies and their escorts had to find
seats in the lower gallery, which was
crowded.
The attraction was match between
John Riordan and NJ. J. Kilgallon of Dem
yer and F. T. Donnelly, the amateur
champion, and I. F. Bonnet, quartet of
as fine opponents of the game as can be
found anywhere.
There was some brilliant play in the first
two games, each team winning game by
the score 21-20. Riordan and KilgalIon
won the next two games, chiefly through
the Denver mans remarkably strong tos-
sing, which elected frequent outbursts of
applause. Kilgallon has made himsel If ex-
ceedingly popular among handball play
ers, not alone from his admirable play, but
also from his genial and obliging DISPOSE
ton.
The score was as follows:
Riordan and Kilgallon. 20 81 81
Donneily and Bonnet..-..........20 FL 16
The preliminary game was between Pur-
cell and Al Hampton and Maloney and
Cashin, the former winning by the score of
20-21, 21-17, 21-14.
General ]. G. Wall has intimated his in.
tention OF presenting handsome gold
medal to the Occidental Club, to be
awarded to the best amateur PLAYER. The
result will be determined at tournament
to be arranged later.

A CLEVER RASCAL
Claims to Represent the Gas Company
and Examines Pipes.

Also Takes Occasion to Secure Any yalu-
ables That May Be Handy.
A very clever sneak thief is in Port
and. and he has scheme that is liable
to deceive many. He worked it quite
successfully at the the Eye and Ear In
Urinary yesterday.
About dinner time an attendant was
ummoned to the door by young man
attlred in the regulation suit of overalls
and jumper, who represented himself as
coming from the gas company. Some
thing was the matter with the pipes, he
said. and he had come up with his tools
to fix them. He was SO plausible that he
was admitted and went to the upper
floor, where he was left apparently at
work. He improved his opportunity,
for while alone he entered the rooms OF
number of the employees and with his
handy tools broke open their trunks and
secured several small sums of money and
various small articles. Then he calmly
walked out and Disappeared. He of
course had no connection with the gas
company, but had adopted that plan to
gain admittance without questions. He
was young man some i've feet nine
inches in height. of dark complexion and
with large mouth and very large, reg
ular teeth. He wore moustache. The
police were notified last night by DR..
Holt and will be on the lookout for
him, but everyone will do well to keep a
lookout for the rascal, as ne may at
tempt to repeat his game.

A Salvation Army Editor in Portland.

The Salvation Army in this city is to be
visited by one of its editors from New
York this Friday. Saturday and Sunday.
The following is brief sketch of the man
and his career
Major Marshal first came to the United
States twenty-five years ago. At whic Ii
tine he went through the West, spending
five years in the State of Kansas. Missouri
and Illinois. In 1878 he went the rest of
the way across the Continent to San Fran
cisco. from San Francisco, from which city
he sailed to Japan, taking another steamer
at Yokahoma for Shanghai. China. In that
country he spent four years. his most i'm
portant positions being those on the stati
of the North China Daily News. and later
in the statistical department of the Imperi-
al Maritime Customs. Making up his mind
to visit England in 1882, he completed tbs
circuit of the Globe with that journey. In
that country he met the Salvation Army
and was converted. Feeling that God
wanted him in the Army he renounced his
intention of returning to China and offered
himself TO the General. He began on the
London War Cry. and was then appointed
as one Of the Generals scribes. afterwards
taking place on the staff of the London
Training Homes, to which candidates who
offersdsth themselves as officers were sent for
training when changes were made in the
system of preparation for the field the
Major was transferred to headquarters S
again from which place he was sent to the
New York headquarters a little over five
years. ago. Since his arrival here he has had
changes of various departments at head
quarters, but for the last three years his
duties as editor of the ConQueror. the Ar
my's New York Monthly Magazine. have
taken up the greater part of his time. The
Major is probably best known through hout
the whole Salvation Army world, by the
songs he has written He is particularly
happy in capturing Music hall tunes and
composing Salvation words to them, some
of which have become immensely popular
and are sung wherever the Army flag flies.
but sometimes. he oomposes not only the
words, but the music also.
Our citizens will have the opportunity of
hearing the Major at the Salvation Army
hall. on this Friday. Saturday and Sunday.
There will be a ''cyolone of song" Friday
light. The songs will be those of the Ma
jor's own composing. His subject for Sat-
urday night will be "Kinadom Come" Sun

NEW ENGLAND FAIR.
It Is Expected to Come to Portland
This Year,
DATES ARRANGED FOR TROTS OF
THE EASTERN CIRCUIT.
Rigby Park Is In-Fruitful Visit of Messrs.
Burnham, Head, Farnham and Barrett
to Boston.

Burnham, Head, Farnham and Barrett
to Boston.
Messrs. Burnham, Hea1d, Farnham and
Barrett returned yesterday from Boston,
where they have made some arrange
ments OF the greatest Importance and
interest to the Rigby Park association
and to Portland. In the first place they
have made it practically certain that the
New England Fair may be obtained for
Rigby Park and Portland next August.
They have also arranged the dates for
Eastern Circuit races, which are to in
clude Rigby and Old Orchard.
1t IS now many years ssince the New
England Fair was held at Portland, on
the old Presumpscot Park grounds. For
four years it has been at Worcester: and
1t it comes to Portland it will be for two
years sure. andgpro badly longer time if
it does well here. In order to accommo-
date this great fair there must be at Rig
by, in addition to the stalls already
there, 425 cattle stalls, 225 sheep pens
and 25 swine pens. 1t is thought that
these, with other needed improvements
will cost about ten thousand dollars, 1t
is believed that. this sum can be raised
readily. especially as the management of
Rigby have done SO much to bring the
lair.
There will probably be an attendance
OF from twenty-five thousand to thirty
thousand day. The city will be asked
to give the use of City hall for the in
door exhibition. AS stated above, it is
practically sure that the fair will come
here ii theyeecan be accommodated. The
majority of the directors favor Portland.
and at the meeting next Thursday the
matter will probably be settled. The
date of the New England Fair will be
August 1890. 4
Another matter of Importance was at
tended to, the arranging of dates for the
races of the Eastern circuit, which are to
be as follows:
July 1871. at Mystic.
June 20-2s, at Saugus.
July 2-5 at Old Orchard.
July s-l2, at Rigby Park.
July 1919. at Mystic.
July 1926, at Saugus.
July 30 and August 2, at Old Orchard.
August SO, at Rigby Park.
The regular stake meetings will be
held at Rigby the first five days in o.
tober.
