hunter but powerfully built and cour-

worth the admission. The Bath team,
which has been considered the coming
team of the league for the past two
weeks. paid us a visit. They have re-
turned home. but their scalps are
hanging on the Augusta goals The
score: Augusta, Il. Bath. 4.
The game was the most exciting one
seen here this season. and abounded
in roughness and good plays. Bath
started in with the evident intention
of winning at any cost. either by bet
ter playing or scrappins.
For almost an innumera) lie number
of times the Bath players started in
to do up some Augusta man. and just
Bathite banged little Molumpy. who
Immediately proceeded to lay him out
and sit on him. Brother j. Mooney
got after Lee, and the latter returned
the compliment The two angry men
were parted like schoolboys by Your
Uncle" Peter Hackett.
Gavitt, the new man from Westerly,
r. J., proved the very man wanted.
He was in the game all the time, and
his drives for goal We're simply ter
rife. He also handled the ball on the
sides and in the crowd like a veteran.
l,a ;e 10, h h ic
muscle is all right.
Molumpy and Jason played the best
games they have so far shown us. and
their clever passing, Juggling and
driving brought bursts of applause.
Lee also put up the game of his life
and was very largely in the race.
Hackett made some wonderful stops
and guarded his goal with all the cool
ness and quickness of the good player
he is.
For Bath, j. Mooney and Tarrant
played a splendid game. J. Mooney
took most Of the rushes and is very
fast on the skates. Tarrant was very
active and did good work. married
only by his repeated fouls.
Scanlon at goal made many hand
some stops but was utterly unable to
stop Augustus fierce drives.
f. Mooney and Murtaugh did what
they could. but were simply not in it
with the home team.
Many times the Bath boys did very
clever passing. and in this way gave
Hackett lots to do, but more often
they lost the bali to Augusta.
In the second period Hackett was
hit on the chin by hot drive and sank
to the floor like a wet rag, but he was
than ever.
Little Molumpy, on the first rush il
the third period. was hit in the side b,
the ball, driven from the spot with al
j. Moneys power and was laid gu
like a log. The kid was weak and pale
but into the game he went and sCoi
forgot his troubles.
One or two goals were made after TIL
bali had been lost by the goaltende
and the crowd laughed.
AS made up. last night. Augusta
showed the most strength we have ye
seen, and it is dollars to doughnut:
that she could have beaten any team
in the league, just as easily.
In the second period. Jason broke
skate and Berry, another new man
was on the floor for few minutes
He made good appearance and go
in some very good work.

FORGING AHEAD.
Rapid Widening of the "ReCOrd
Union's' Sphere OF Usefulness.

Since the Record Union" begun the
publication of a Sunday edition it's sub
scription list has been increasing at a
phenomenal rate.
In this city alone the 600 mark was
passed a week ago, while the increase in
the surrounding country has been even
greater In Vacaville no less than fifty
five new subscribers were added to the
Record Union's' list in two days last
week, and from all quarters visited by
canvassers similar returns are coming
III daily.
The effort to provide the people with
a journal that is at once reliable, up
to date in news facilities, fearless, but
courteous in its treatment of public
men and measures, and at all times
free from many of the objections that
apply to public journals, is evidently ap-
preciated by the public
This Is gratifying to the mana cement.
while the rapid rate al which the circu-
lation of the Record Union" is being
extended both at home and in the sur
rounding country cannot fail to impress
business men with its value as an ad-
vertising medium.
No pains shall be spared to make the
paper even more valuable to its patrons
as the days and months go by. New fea-
lures will be added from time to time,
while preserving those characteristics
that have in the past made the
Record Union" a welcome visitor
wherever it was introduced.

This being the case, is it not apparent
to anyone of common sense that they
should have their eyes tested by some

of glasses not fitted to odd eyes results
in gradual loss of sight in weaker eye,
