and impartial, and he evidently does not
intend to allow any unnecessary rough

criticism which could be made on his

of starting the play. Several times he

that he is willing to release Smith to

he was arrested by City Marshal A. E.

many midnight breaks here. A cloud
of mystery surrounded them all. One
night, the city marshal saw a man
stealing along Haymarket square. He
hid behind tree and waited for the
man to come up. When he did so
the officer told him to stop, but he ran.
Mr.. McDonough sent six revolver shots

"a Both goal tends played superbly. The
fact that Burgess made no less than
43 stops shows that the Augusta men
had the ball around Baths goal con-
siderable portion of the time. There
was the same old weakness Of last
year, however, viz, lack of quick
hard driving, an inability to take in
slant advantage of the critical Oppor-
tunity. Oh. for a Mooney, a Campbell,
a Gay or Tarrant! The rush work OF
the Augusta team was good. and they
were fairly strong on the defensive.
They kept the ball in the vicinity OF
Baths cage a good part of the even
ing, but seemed strangely unable to
put it in, losing opportunity after cp
portunity to put in by slow work and
poor driving Such slipups are cost
ly. With Mooney the case was differ
ent. He was as quick as weasel. He
snatched the opportunities for goals
like a flash He seemed always to be
at the right place at the right time,
and his driving was hard and accu-
rate. McGilvray, his sidepartner, also
showed his ability as driver as well
as a rusher Murpny was a tower OF
strength to the Augusta team in the
goal, making some grand stops there.
Well, we are coming. and by and by
must strike our gait. The team has
made a gratifying advance in the
character of their work. There are
good players, though some of them re-
ported sadly out of form, and have
been conditioning themselves at the

Municipal Elections.

The general tending of the recent
municipal elections has been partic-
ularly favorable to the Republicans,
and the free silver people are ex-
tracing what comfort they can from
this fact. 1t need not be surprising
that this should be the case. The
Mckinley wave of prosperity has
not yet became high enough to suit
some of the fellows who thought
the gold dollars would begin to roll
into their empty pockets as soon as
McKinley's Inauguration should
take place, and in many places
purely local causes affected the
result.
