iiE Dh1 HOSE RACES.
The Senator's and Dirigos met again in
the dry hose race at Wyman park, and
this time the Dirigos were victorious, but
did not succeed in reaching the Senator'S
record. The judges were the same as in
the wet race in the forenoon, but NJ. S.
Smith was the starter. Both teams made
fine runs, and did smooth work in max
ing connections. The Drigos' time was
59A seconds; Senators, 59A seconds. The
Senators record, made at the county fair
last year, was So 3-5 seconds, the worlds
record for this run.
Following this race, there was hose
race similar in character between the
two speedy juvenile hose teams Of Ellis
worth-Eureka and Dirigo, jr The
Eurekas downed their conquerors of last
year. The time was Eurekas. 80 sec
onds; briggs, 39l2. The Drigos made
the run at the fair last year in 37l5
seconds.
BASEBALL.
The base bali game was one of the
greatest attractions ut The park. The
contesting teams represented the high
schools of Ells"or h aud Bar llnrbor
The Bar tiarbor boys We're evidently in
need of practice, and were out-played at
every point.
In the first inning Albert Stock bridge,
who WAS catching for the f. II. s., broke
a finger on his right hand and retired
to have physicians attendance. His
younger brother james succeeded HIM,
and caught a clean game. Campbell was
injured while wrestling Inst week, ana
was unable to play. His place va. filled
by Harry Haynes.
The game was begun about 1.20 with
Bar iIarhor at the bat The first four
men found Dunn for safe hits The next
two were given base on balls. The seventh
man fell a victim to Fernald's eagle
eye. The eighth man hit safely, but the
ninth died at first, lille an out at third
completed the three needed. Bar Harbor
had corralled five runs in the first inning
Bar Harhor put up ragged game in
Ellsworth's half OF the inning. and it
seemed as il the game was going to be a
farce, hut when Dunn again stepped into
the box and shut he visitors out without
hit, it looked better. Jimmie Stock
bridge got single in he second half of
the inning, but nobody scored. In the
third Higgins hit safely for Bar Harbor
This was the last hit made OF Dunn's
delivery.
The features OF the game were the
handsome fielding of the winners, with
star features by Dunn and Clark,
Bernardini's good work at short, a fine
high catch by Hamor in the fourth
inning and the stick work OF Ellington
and Young.
The +. II. s. team has been coached by
II. H. Clark for the past week, and the
Improvement in fielding and base run
ming is in no small measure due to his
work.
A seven-inning game had been agreed
upon but the Bar Harbor boys gave up
the struggle with two men out in the last
OF he sixth inning.
THE SCORE.
