The Stoddard Lectures.

The return Of John L. Stoddard to
bring out another series OF his popular
lectures, which have now reached their
18th season, will be very welcome to his
numerous admirers In this city. He ia
now dressing the children of those who
were first fascinated by his art and his
enthusiasm, and manifestly to quite az
great acceptance. He proposes an entire
ly new series. the attractions of which
will be generally acknowledged. The
opening lecture is entitled "Heroic and
Romantic Scotland. The second has q
kindred theme in "Old England, which
appeals to all travellers, as we'll as to
those whose ambition it Is to visit the
mother land. For the third, Mr.. Stod-
dard has made an entirely new departure
In selecting an American subject. A
fortunate trip made last summer through
the Yellowstone Park puts him in po-
sition to reveal one of the most wonder
full bits of nature which the world can
show. In these days, when the attention
OF the civilized world ia concentrated
as never before on the action of the Gear,
the lecturers memories Of days spent in
the old and new capitals of Russia Is
peculiarly opportune; and fel1oltous
oloting theme Is furnished in consid-
GRAFTON of the charming cities Of Athens
and Venice.

The officials were: Referee, Grant;

And now comes tho hum iliating tale
Of the first chapter OF the game which
extended through the first half of the
game and was series Of aRonizing mis-
play on the part of Portland.
Portland lost the toss and was given
the ball byAuburn. Underwood kicked of
to the 15-yard line and the pig skin was
caught by Skillins who made only five
yards advance before he was tackled.
auburn at once demonstrated the line
of play she WAS to pursue by punching
hole big enough for an elephant to
walk through in Portland's centre, send
ing MoMann and his two guards flying
right and left as if struck by a cyclone.
Through this hole Griffin and Russell,
big active fellows, smashed their way by
successive PUSHES to the centre of the
field. In vain Capt. Devine urged on
his man to "stop that hole" and to
hold them, but Walker and Dana, the
guards, dindn't seem to be able to hold

WE WON THE GAME.
But Portland Showed Her Weakness
in the Line.


The P. a. S. Team Defeated the Edward
Little High school Team of Auburn 10
to 6 at Foot BalI-visitors Had Plenty
of Beef and Little Science-Frst Half a
Walkover for Auburn-P. III. S. Played
Better in the Last Half Though.
Portland High school played Edward
afternoon On the Deering grounds and
defeated the visitors to the tune of IS to
6. This score all things considered,
should be the cause tor humiliation on
the part of the Portland team as the Au-
burn boys, although elesrly outweighing
the home team, could not begin to play
with them and relied solely on their
"beef'' to win. The visitors had no
team work at all and their gains were
ell made through the centre and by indi-
vidual plays.
The story Of the game can be told in
two chapters, one dealing with the de-
fensive work of Portland, of which there
was little, and what there was of it Of
poor quality. and the other, of their
offensive work, which was fairly COM
mendable.
1t didn't look much like foot ball
game at noon yesterday, with the dark
Bullen clouds threatening a down pc ur
Of. rain at any moment and the gridiron
on the DeerinR grounds ankle deep in
mud in places and as Shiny and slippery
as it would have been had the field
been covered with ice. The Auburn boys,
as one would wish to see, did not like
the looks of the gridiron when they ar
rived on the ground at little after 2
O'Clock and thsy gIumbled about IL a
little, but as the Shiny. slippery ground
added greatly to their chances of maxi
ing tremendous gains through their OPP
ponent's line, they decided to do no
more kicking on the condition of the
field, and to swallow their share of the
mud with the best grace possible. AS
for the Portland boys, they are regular
mud diggers" and thrive on their diet
of Deering clay. They didn't seem to
mind the mud very much, but the size
aud weight of the Auburn team WAS a
poser. Well-built, athletic-looking fell
lows. weighing on an average about 1856
pounds, the Auburn people made for
midable appearance as they worked out
their signs under Capt. Griffin, before
the game. Their average weight was
fully ten pounds more than Portland
and their centre and guards formed q
proverbial "stone wall, big enough to
hold an express train or to plough
through the side of City hall.
The lineup of the two teams was as
follows:
