LINCOLN AND CURTIS.
Portland's New Polo Rushers Said to Be
Crack Payers.

The Pawtucket Times in O recent issue
in an account of polo game between
the Lonsdales and the Dawsons, has the
following to say of Lincoln and Curtis,
Portland's new rushers: "ThesLops.
dales were by far the stronger team of
the two, having Lincoln and Curtis in
the rush line, Barlow at centre, Holder
ness at half back and John Allen in
goal. Lincoln sand Curtis sare to do the
rushing for the Portland team ofathe
Maine league this year, and they are
paired in order to give them as much
experience as possible. Both were very
fast, had plenty of speed and both drove
we'll for the cage. Curtis fed the ball to
Lincoln. who did nearly all of the driving
and made. the majority of the goals. Lin
coin has much improved in his driving
and last night he was sending them in
to Lee about the size of marbles. Cur
tbs did some great floor work and he
drove finely at such opportunities as he
had. With practice. together they will
make a fast pair of rushers without
doubt. For the first game they did some
very clever work. Lincoln did some very
clever work. Lincoln showed up well in
following the; ball. OneL of the goals
made by the Lonsdaies was on drive by
Lincoln, glancing off Kelly's shin guard,
and another was made by Curtis, who
hit the ball in the air and turned it into
the cage. 1t will tie noticed that all of
the Lonsdales save Allen, made one or
more goals. -
The Lonsdale team won by score Of
10 to s. Lincoln won IA rushes and Cur
tbs 1, against one each of the Dawson
PUSHES. Among those who played on
the Dawson team was Whipple at centre,
whose good work In the game the Times
freely comments upon.

Rem arkable Exhibition of Memory.

Last evening the vestry Of Chestnut
street NJ. E. church was well filed by an
appreciative audience, the attraction
being Prof. Boyd's lecture on memory,
which was intensely interesting.
A gentleman from the audience wrote
10 numbers on blackboard. many of
the numbers containing four and five
figures. They were read once to the pro-
lessor, after which he repeated them in
order, and in any way called for. He
then named so common nouns to the
audience inside of ten minutes, after
which the audience repeated them for
ward and backward. This occasioned
great surprise as well as amusement. The
result of the lecture was shown by the
formation of large class for instruction.
The first lesson of the course of five, to
be given at 11S Winter street, today at
4.15 and 7.30 p. m.
Prof. Boyd claims that any memory
can be easily improved many fold. In
fact the result of last evening seemed
to prove it.

BANGOR MAY JOIN THE LEAGUE.
Strong Probability that the Queen City
Will Have Polo This Winter.

There is strong pro liability that Ban
gor will be admitted into the Maine polo
league. Yesterday a vote by mail was
taken of the league teams and 1t Is be-
lieved that at least four teams have voted
to admit Bangor. 1t is not at all unlike
ly that meeting of the league will be
called on Saturday to further consider
the matter and if vote favorable to
Bangor's "a admission is passed, to re-
arrange the schedule.
Portland would be glad to see. Chris
Toole place in Bangor strong polo
team. There is always strong rivalry
between Portland the Queen City, and a
team from the latter city in the league
will add much interest to the sport here
in Portland. 1t is understood that Man
ager Durham of this city is heartily in
favor of the admission of Bangor as he
thinks he will certainly be assured of a
big house here every night that Bangor
plays in Portland. Mr.. Toole is very
popular man in Portland. He is consid-
cred to..sbe a square y fellow, and one
who is always con the dead level .
Manager Houlihan of Gardiner has al
ready voted for the admission of..Bangor.
Manager Smart Ct Augusta is also said
to favor the admission of Bangor team
under certain conditions and Manager
Cody of Lewiston is disposed to look
favorably upon, the idea. 1t is hoped that
the Bangor team will be numbered
among the contestants for the polo cham
pionship of Maine, and if it does come
in, it is certain that the Bangor team
will be one of the strongest that Chris
Toole can gather at this late day.

MARCH HAS ITS WOLETS.
And There Is n Fright and Cheerful Side
to Everything.

And There Is n Fright and Cheerful Side
to Everything.
Edward W. Box, under the title Of
1.-The Oder Of Spring violets." writes
most forcibly in The Ladies' Home
Journal on the theme that there Is a
bright side to everything-even to
March, the most d~isagreeable month Of
the year, for it has its spring violets.
ut is true," he writes, that 1t is diff
cult sometimes to see the bright side Of
sorrow, sickness and death. And yet
there is distinctly a bright side. No sor-
row comes to us without q reason. We
never know our friends until SORROW OF
illness comes to us. We never know
what loving kindness and thoughtful
ness mean until we stand in need OF
them, and our hearts seem to beat
against the walls Of a cold. merciless
world. We learn something from every
grief and from each pain which comes
to us. We learn to distinguish between
friends, and what more priceless posses
sion Is there in the whole range OF
knowledge than thisp What develops us
more than trouble? Virtues of heart,
which we never dreamed OF as existing
within us, reveal themselves when we
are sorely tried That Is why sorrow
and trials are given us-not to give
pain, but to develop us, to better equip
us for something unknown which lies in
the future, and which we could not
meet or understand unless we had first
gone through certain experiences.
1--WE are far too apt to regard actual
blessings as calamities, to look upon
the dark side CT things. Some sorrow
comes TO us, and we rebel. 1t never &C.

Through Uncommon Channels
"Ithink if all the cranks In this coun-
try were ~corralled, " remarked the clerk
in the treasury department, land put
under a shed somewhere it would re-
4uire one bigger than all the buildings
at the Worlds fair"
Would there really be anybody to do
the corralling?' inquired a pessimistic
old party, who thinks there is pone good
no, not one.
"As l was saying" continued the
treasury clerk, ''it would take the big
Cest shed on earth, and still there is q
new kind. This time it Is a man or wo-
man who has been sending in 10 cents
at a time as a contribution to the con-
science fund, with a name signed in
full, and there is no such name ON the
treasury books and never has been. /

thinks he or she will get that name in

of it.

you if you had the fines to pay, but Un-
Gle Sam is easy, and I don't know Of a
case where anybody ever had to pay the
fine. In this Instance a man came into
a certain office down south and gave the
postmaster $500, being the amount Of
fines be owed the government for viola
ton Of postage laws as far as he could
recall them. He was a young man, and
he stated that he had violated the law
while in love with q girl to whom he
sent papers and books occasionally, and.
though he wrote to her every day, he
couldn't let the others go without writ
ing something ON them. The postmaster
didn't know howto act In the premises,
and just what he would have done final
ly nobody knows, but the next day the
young mans father came to the post
master and told him that his son had
been Tilted by his sweetheart. and it had
crazed him. This was an explanation
which satisfied the official, and the mon.
ey was returned"

of the little story. "Onlya crazy person
