great jackson. After the remarks the
guests were invited to the supper room
where an excellent collation. awaited
them. A marked feature of the occasion
was a letter descriptive of the battle Of
New Orleans, written by a veteran who
had attained the age of one hundred and
nine years.

Next Monday evening the Haydn AS
ISOLATION will take action on the question
Of giving the singers Of Portland and vi
oinity the opportunity of joining the As
ISOLATION for the rest of the year ending
with the Festival, Ey paying the regular
Festival fee, two dollars. At the NEST
ing CT singers held Wednesday evening
an informal vote was unanimously in
favor of such an arrangement, and there
is little doubt of it being adopted. Tho
plan seems to meet universal favor, as it
will unite all in one grand chorus and
save the time and expense of another
evening for rehearsal, which many sing
ers could not afford.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all our singers and others il terested in
making strong effective chorus to be
present at the Haydn rehearsal Monday
evening.

Your committee also from an exami-
nation of the bottom of the pond shows
it to be of rocky and sandy nature and

Your committee then, |, to make the in
vestigation more satisfactory, decided to
procure more samples from Duck Pond
and Sebago Lake and send them to an
other assayer SO members of your COM
mittee went personally to those ponds
and procured samples of those waters
from corresponding depths and sent
them to the state assayer of Massachu-

came.
We also su bmit to you his report. You
will notice he says No. 2, which was

Your Uncle Appendicitis Morse had
just little to say about the game. He
gave the champions only two hits a
double and a single, presented three
walks and hit a batsman. That's what
the gentleman with a fashionable ap-
pendix ailment did but he was not
quite the whole thing. There were
other gentlemen in the game with him
and who fielded fautlessly and without
an error; and made twelve hits and five
runs.
When the matinee ended the Champs
had been ornamented with nine close
fitting horse collars and sent to the
central city with the satisfaction of
having landed but one runner on third
and only one other as far as second.
Six of the Grays reached first but
thanks to two very businesslke double
plays, only four of the six were left on

ground rules were enforced. Fully 1900
