THE COLTS AFRAID.



TO THR EDITOR OF THE ExPREss:-
Some time ago the Lebanon bast
ball team sent the "world renowned
Colts, of Albany, a challenge to play Q
match game Of ball, but the challenge
was not accepted by the. conceited
Colts. They have been challenged by
the Lebanon boys eight times and
they still refuse to play.
A few weeks ago Manager Booth
Of the home team called upon the
manager Of the Colts in Albany, and
the manager Of the latter team told
Mr. Booth that he would give him o
game any time he brought his team
down. Now after making a fair and
square agreement for a game, Mr..
Booth received a letter from WIN.
Mack, the Manager Of the Colts, stat.
Ing that 1t was impossible for them to
play, as some Of their men were out Of
town. The letter also contains the
following paragraph: II wish they
were here (meaning the men they
claim are out of town we would take
some Of the conceit out of you fellows"
Mr.. Mack also says: 1--WE are not
afraid Of any thing in the state; we
can beat anything in the state"
This thing Of some Of their men be-
ing out Of town is merely q subterfnge,
or an excuse for not playing as they
are afraid Of being defeated. II they
could "beat anything In the state"
why didn't they play the Lebanon
team on the 4th Of July at Waterloo,
when they were offered $lO and their
expenses? They were afraid. The
Albany Colts are towards of the first
water. II they are such great base
ball players why didn't they play the
Lebanon team when they offered to
play at Albany and pay their own
expenses.
The Albany Colts are champion
towards, and champion blowhards,
instead Of base ball players. For puff.
ing and blowing and advertising
themselves in the papers this team has
no equal on the Pacific coast. In the
face Of the above facts this team is
surely placed in a very unenviable
position before the public. They
should draw in their horns, or back
what they claim with actual ex.
perienee, and it would also be we'll for
the Albany daily papers to quit toot-
ing the horn of this little Insignificant
base ball team. How can such team
as this be the champions Of Oregon.

reports that there was big fire on the

dangerous for wagons to pass through.
He got through safely but it was q

very fortunate for him that he had a

been compelled to retreat and possibly

by the heat and smoke. They were

Georges face and hands were quite
badly burned and his beard was singed.
One horse was burned slightly and the

fire is thought to have been purposely

HAmmoHp's GROVE.


To Augusta people, as well as many
others, not only from Maine but from
other states in New England as well,
one of the most popular of our inland
summer resorts IL Hammond's Grove,
in the town Of Manchester, and now
that summer. with Its vacation days,
IL almost with us, again comes the de-
sire to dwell amid the whispering pines
on the hillside, where peace and quiet
always reign and where perfect rest
can be had for the asking.
Upon invitation of the proprietor.
Mr.. L. H. Hammond. Journal reporter
visited the grove last week and passed
several hours there. Though early in
the season. a few cottages are already
occupied. and the spring repairing that
is going on gives to the place a general
air Of activity, indicating the birth of
yet been realized. One new cottage has
already been erected this spring. and
there is a good prospect that it will be
followed by others ere the season closes.
Perhaps to Journal readers who may
not know the location of the grove, a
brief description will be of service.
a large growth of pine, comprising
some 10 acres, situated on the north
shore of Lake Cobbosseecontee. mag
nificent sheet of water. nine miles in
length by two in width, and dotted with
islands, numbering 81 in all. The lake
is sheltered by the hills of four towns.
namely, Manchester. Winthrop. Mon
mouth and West Gardiner. and for
natural beauty and general attractive
ness as a summer resort is without a
rival in the whole lake system of Ken
nebec counts
The grove has been utilized for its
present purpose for about Is years. Mr..
Hammond built the first cottage there,
and by continued clearing of under
growth has transformed the grove from
it's native wildness into the picturesque
spot which it is. today. Cottages have
been built from year to year. until there
is quite a little settlement, and to one
who gaZes upon the scene from the
lake, the effect produced by the many
colored summer homes nesting among
the stately pines on the hillside, which
slopes gently to the waters edge,
naught but feelings of admiration can
be inspired.
One great argument in favor of the
grove is the class Of people who pat
ronize it. None but the best are to be
found there. and thus many objection
able features which are encountered at
some resorts are wholly avoided. On
Sundays the grounds are closed to
transient seekers unless they be friends
of the cottagers.
The lake affords admira BILE facilities
for boating. and the bass which swarm
in it's waters afford the angler rare
sport. 1t is less than an hours drive
from Augusta. and embracing as it
does all the requisites of a haunt of rest
and happiness, it extends to the pleas
ure seeker an appeal of the strongest
nature.
