all the sang froid Of a veteran virtuoso,
played in a most finished manner the al

concerto Though her feet hardly touched
the pedals. she nevertheless succeeded in
supplying the necessary shading through

and forcible to a remarkable degree, when

Brunswick, June 9.-(SpeciaD.-At a
meeting of the Bowdoin Varsity base
ball nine. Ralph NJ. Greenlaw of South
Paris. was elected captain for the sea-
son OF 1898. Greenlaw's position on the
Bowdoln nine is that of left field. He is
an exceptionally clever player and
possesses the essential qualities of
good captain. Greenlaw is a member of
the class of SO and is extremely popu-
lar, not only among his classmates, but
among the students at large. All feel
that the choice of captain is good one.
on the ball team Greenlaw is hard
and conscientious worker. He is a sure
fielder and is one of the heaviest hit
tiers on the team. He entered Bowdoin
in the fall of 1895, and began To play left

Can't. Blanchard's Handwork.

In p. S. Heald's store is a handsome
oil painting of a ship cutting its way
through the water evidently at good
speed The painting was made by Capt.
Fl. S. Blanchard, and it is picture OF
the first vessel which he ever COM
manded 1t was the Cumberland and
was built in Portland in 1850 and was
commanded by Capt. Often Merrill I'M
til 1860 when Capt. Blanchard took
command. He soon sailed on her to the
Mediterranean waters and the picture
of which this one is an enlarged copy
was made by special marine artist In
Leghorne in the following May. Cap
tain Blanchard commanded the craft
about a year when she was sold to
Norwegian parties and in less than
three months after he left it the vessel
was lost in the English channel. The
picture represents the ship off Cape
DuGate on her homeward trip. She is
ION the wind and only part of her
canvas is spread in preparation for a
coming squat. She is signalling an
other American ship which can be seen
in the distance running before the
wind Capt. Blanchard has been
painting the picture during his spare
time the past winter and has displayed
his usual genius for that sort of work.
