THE POLO LEAGUE.
Meeting at swett's Hotel-Hitch Over the
Lewiston Franchise.

A meeting was held at Swett's hotel
last evening to organize Maine polo
league, but 1T adjourned without actually
accomplishing much.
1t seems that the only hitch to the fol-
nation of tho league Is in Lewiston,
where there are two applicants for the
franchise, and some difficulty about
securing proper place in which the
Lewiston games may be played. If
satisfactory arrangement can be made In
Lewiston the Maine polo league will
become an assured fact.
At last nights conference Mr.. W. W.
Burnham, represented Portland; Mr..
Edward P. Smart. Aug usta; Mr.. Henry
H. Donnell. Bath; Mr.. Eugene ]. O'Con-
nor, Rockland, and Richard Leader and
o. e. Dyer. Lewiston.
1t was decided to wait and see If
suitable arrangements could not be made
IN Lewiston before definitely organizing
the league or arranging schedule Of
games. There Is only one suitable place
in Lewiston where polo games may be
played, and that Is in the City hall. At
a recent meeting of the Lewiston COM
mittee on public buildings 1t was decided
by vote of two to one by the members
of the committee, that the City hal
should not be leased for polo games.
Two parties in Lewiston who are anxi-
Gus to seou re the league franchise are
Mr.. o. E. Dyer Of Portland and Mr.. M.
J. Garrity, formerly Of Portland, who
was represented by Mr.. Leader.
Last nights conference, however,
resulted in the appointing of a committee
consisting of Messrs. Smart, Burnham
and Dyer, who will go to Lewiston today
and see what can be done in the way of
affecting compromise.
MI. Burn ham tol.. PRESS reporter
last night that he believed the league
would be formed. Two games a week
would be played in each city and the
season will begin by THANKSGIVING time
and continue for about three months
In Portland the games will be played
either in City hall or in tho new drill
| she'd of the armory.
1t is possible also that Bangor may
| come into the league.
| Another meeting of the represen tatives
| will be held shortly and if the Lewiston
obstacles are overcome the league will
| at once organize.

OF late features have crept into the coun-
~ fair which should not be encouraged.
First are the games of chance, which are
so attractive to the young, but in the end
will surely lead TO mischief. The dlrec-
tors of fair associations cannot exercise too
much care in keeping the gamblers, with
their many devices, away rom the fair
grounds. They are not legitimate feature
of any agricultural exhibition, and 1t Is to
be regretted that In some instances they
have been tolerated recently in this state
and in other states as well. The side
show should also be tabooed unless the
fair directors know by personal investiga-
tion that 1t is respectable and harmless -

than all else. Full curtains, If they are
no more than oheeseoloth, do more to
furnish a room than any other one
thing. but yea are no longer confined to
oheesscloth when economy must rule,
for there is host of pretty as we'll as
cheap fabrics from which to choose, and
these inexpensive stnffs, snowflake,

cheap lace, for which woman OF taste
finds no use whatever.
