CoIby-Uniyersiiy Of Maine.

The Bangor Commercial has much 20
say about the way the management of
the Colby football team cancelled the
date of the Colby University of Maine
game. If the Commercial had fol-
lowed the schedule of the college teams
it would have seen that the Colby
management had left open a date for
the y. of NJ for several weeks that the
u. of M. did not care to accept or
would not accept. The Colby manage
ment had tried hard enough to ar
range a game with the u. of NJ. man
agement as the manager of the latter
team very well knows. u. of NJ. for
some reason could not find it in their
way to play on the day that was open
for them, and the only day that was
open for them after the Colby man
agement had arranged the schedule
for the season, or in other words the
Orono management would not arrange
a game with Colby when the manage
ment of the latter team was trying to
arrange games for the present season.
Now who was at fault? Surely the
Colby management had evinced a de-
sire to meet the Z. of NJ team and had
oHereu plenty OF opportunities Tor
match and the U. of NJ. held aloof
After watching the Colby team until
the last chance in the world was Of
fered the L. of M. came here after the
Colby management had decided to
close the date that had been left open
for Z. of NJ. This year the Colby
management is afraid to meet no team
on the gridiron and the splendid play
ing of the Colby team shows that.

More Cigarettes Smoked Than Ever.

We saw Peter Herbst unloading a
packing case yesterday and investiga-
ton showed that the case contained
cigarettes. Laying in a pretty good
stock aren't you. Peter?" was asked
Perhaps you don't want to believe it
but there are more cigarettes smoked
now than ever" was the reply from the
we'll known cigar maker. MI. Herbst
said that when he went to New York
about six weeks ago he found the
prices favorable and he contracted for
100000 cigarettes. He has received them
in 10000 lots and has disposed of them
as fast and faster than ever before. 1t
seems that the young man who should
not smoke cigarettes has taken ex-
ceptions to the new law and is bound
to smoke enough to make up for the
