1t will be certainly gratifying to the
members of Unity club to learn of the
sincere compliment which Mr.. FRANK
A. Munsey, the proprietor of the well
known magazine bearing his name
has PAID it. 1t is compliment mixed
with appreciation for what the CLUB
did for him while he was a member
during his residence in this city. In
snoakins with an Augusta lady re-
Gently in New York, he said that his
attendance at the meetings had been a
source of great profit to him in his
subsequent life, and that 1t was with
the pleasantest recollections that ne
locked back on the meetings. MT.
Munsey's rise in the line which he has
so well chosen is a source of pleasure
"a all of his many friends in Augusta.

Previous to the regular game at $50,
the Capital City and the State House
teams will play an amateur contest.
BILLY" Long will referee the game.
The Augusta players got in some sharp
practice, yesterday Afternoon, in the hall.
chasing one another up, making drives
for the cage and all that sort of thing.
With the rest they got, last night. there
being no game on the programme. they
will be in fine condition TO play. this
evening.
AuSusta's recent brace. and general
tonng up all around. has gone to the
hearts of the noloistically inclined. ard
the boys one and all will be out to see
the great battle.
Manager Smart has released Lee and
Gavitt. The former will remain in the
city indefinitely. having started in upon
the work of getting up polo score card
which will be greatly appreciated by the
patrons and patronesses of the game.
Much pleasure it is to keep ones own
tabs on the game, and one at Il polo
game without score card feels almost
as helpless as without one at a ball game.
1t is not easy to keep the run of visiting
players, if one ever gets the names OF
them straight. If a player makes a great
likes to know just who he is. In many
other ways the score cards will be high
ly appreciated.

tended to in time to run when the
darkness settled down. y
The stages, which run from Augusta
to neighboring towns, reported the
roads in bad condition. The drifts
were high and promised to be higher.
and things were mixed up generally;
some which left Augusta, not return
ing. and others which had. arrived,
finding it impossible to make the re-
turn trips.
The Readtield coach was one to ar
rive all right. 1t started out to make
thereturn trip, but gaveit up. Receiving
orders to try it again, it made second
attempt. but with no better success,
finding the way impossible. The
Litchfield coach left at the usual hour,
and. as it did not return, probably
went through all right. The Winthrop
stage departed from Augusta in the
morning as usual. but did not return
at night, as scheduled. The same was
the case with the Rockland way stage,
which goes out through South Wind
sor and Washington. Nothing had been
heard from either at late hour in the
evening, and it is supposed they had
to put up in somebody's back yard.
The stage that goes to Sidney. Bel
grade, and out as far as New Sharon
arrived all right, but got stalled at
from the city proper. The stages for
Weeks Mills and South China didn't
start out at all, thus having the good
fortune to pass the night in Augusta.
