The Best Game o. the Season Exciting from
Start TO Finish.

Portland Dec. 6.-(SpeciaD. The Port
land and Augusta polo teams had sharp
contest here. last evening the home
team winning out by "a score OF 8 to 2 1t
was intensely exciting and both teams
played great polo. There was an attend
ance of about 900, who were very enthusi-
astic throughout.
The game was a peculiar one, in the
scoring line. Portland started in with Il
dash and won three goals in about as
many minutes. During the rest OF the
game, try as they would. they could not
get a BAN through Hackett. Augusta $
new goal. He made a fine impression
here, and was given lots of applause.
The Augusta goals We're made in the
second period. In the last period 1t
held the Portlands right down, and i'm
proved in aggressive s., work Just as a The
rusher had the ball opposite Portland's
goal with clean, open chance for an
easy shot The Augusta supporters
claim that the period was two minutes
short.
Whipple and Foster of the Portlands
did rough work, and their playing was
called to the referees attention. but to
no avail.
The home team played "A strong game.
but after the Augustus got into the game
it belonged@to anybody.
The Improvement of the team work of
the Augustus is very marked since It's

around, the game. last evening, was one
of the most exciting played here in the

The Augustus played well against Port

O'Melia has had a bad right hand. the

had 80 stops in the game with Portland,

is pleasant. and good fellow to meet.
His home is in Pawtucket, where he has

According to the published standing OF
the Maine Polo League. Lewiston and
Portland are tied with four won and four
lost. This. the Lewiston players claim,
is erroneous. as they have really won five
and lost three. thus sending them into
third place. The error, they say. was
made through crediting Augusta with a

NEW YORK, Oct 2l.- When the British
four masted. iron sailing ship Arracnn,
from Calcutta, dropped anchor in the up
per bay, the cook, Henry Williams, was a
prisoner In tho ships hospital, small
compartment in tho after end Of her deck
house
williams 81 n swarthy West India man,
SO years old with black hair and a fierce
black beard and mustaohe II his feryent-
ly Expressed wibhes had boon realized,
every ono aboard the Arracan would now
be at tho bottom of the sea. The othor
momhors OF the crew fully reciprocate viii
liams feelings toward them, and with
good reason for ho twice refused duty,
then set fro to the ship and finally tried
to Kill Chief Mato Henry Davidson with a
razor.
Williams would certainly have been
dumped overheard by the angry sailors IL
he had not been protected by Captain
Brockenshar and his officers.
Tho Arracan, which registers more than
., 200 tons and has an immense spread of
canvas, loft Calcutta on May so, manned
by crew of 30. Her cnrgo was jute, a
most innnmmable material and it was
packed In bales clear up to hor deck
beams. Officers and crew soon discovered
that Williams was a poor cook. Com
plants were so numerous that he declared
II any of the men came near the galley
again he would "cut their livers out"
Refused to DO Bis Work.
This did not stop the complaints, and
on July 10 Willimms refused TO do his
work and went TO his room HI was
locked for three nights In the hospital,
which Is directly in front Of the cabin, so
that the officers could watch him. Then
he professed renitence, Mate Davidson
laid, and no was SET to work chipping iron
work about the deck, but was not allowed
to enter tho galley or go aloft The Off
GERS mistrusted him.
The cook again refused TO work on July
30 and was promptly locked up. Ho was
allowed his freedom during tho daytime,
and on the evening OF Aug. no asked the
captain and all hands to forgive him and
let him go to work again. This tho cap
tain assented to. An hour later Williams
rushed on the poop and declared that thg
crew wanted to murder him.
The man was apparently hnlf crazed
with fear though not a seaman was any
where near him, and the mato decided tC
lock him up again for safety. Unknown
to any enc Williams had secured two
razors. lie also had his shCathknlto anC
q iaokknife The hospital whore he wa
placed has four berths, and at ? O'Clock th'
next morning Williams frod soma cottoI

Tho captain was called and all hand
summoned aft. William refused 20 extin
guish the FIRE and dared any one to opel

Fearing that the heat would firc the jut

opened the door a-oraok and peered in
Down camo ono Of tho razors, slashing tn

and narrowly missing his throat. Tn
mate slammed the door and caught tn
razor between it and the iamb.
Williams was left in the hospital unit

ho was dragged out and put in irons. III
fire was soon put out.
