Heretofore the yachts in all classes have
started off the club house and in some
winds this has resulted in difficulty in
handling the larger boats. At Willard
there is plenty of sea room and beside
that a splendid opportunity for viewing
the contest as was shown yesterday when
the racers were in sight for an hour be.
fore the finish and the fight of the last
ten miles.
AT twelve O'Clock, when the first gun
was fired, the three yachts were near the
starting point. The second gun was fired
at half past twelve, the yachts having
fifteen minutes in which to get across the
line. The Brynlys was in the best place,
and turning on her heel made for the line
with the wind astern and big bone in
her teeth. She went over about two
minutes after the gun was fired and
squared away for the White Head ship
channel with her sails wing and wing.
The Beatrice had had some trouble with
the running rigging of the mainsail, ap-
parently, for the sail was hoisted only
about minute before the gun was fired.
Nevertheless, the Beatrice came across

RUN DOWN A TEAM.
Portland Bicyciist Who Didn't Whistle
Down Brakes in Time.

A wheelman named Walter Smith, who
is the bookkeeper of Norton, Chapman
& Co., was severely injured yesterday
afternoon on Cumberland street. Mr..
Smith was riding down Cumberland
street at rapid rate and was closely
following carriage in which Mr.. Brown,
clerk at Schlotterbeck & Foss's drug
store was riding. At the corner OF
Brown street the horse which had
been going at a good rate OF speed nd.
emily slowed down into a walk. Mr.. Smith
was too near the team to stop and col
lided with it. He was thrown heavily tc
the ground and was picked up uncon-
scious and carried into the house of Mr.
Frank Howe, which is near at hand.
This was at o'clock and it was nearly
an hour before Mr.. Smith recovered con-
sciousness. He was able to go home
alone, but it was reported last night that
he was suffering from conclusion of the
brain and that his condition was serious.

be the attraction at Riverton this week.
The first performance was given yester-
day afternoon, but the company was
handicapped because part of their proper
ties were delayed in transportation. In
the evening in spite of the threatening
weather the company was greeted by the
usual large audience. The entertainments
of yesterday did not interest as
those at Riverton generally do, but this
was due largely to indisposition on the
part of some of the performers. The
company as a whole are good and will
be in good trim today and be able to do
the work of which they are capable.

Base Ball News.
We are not disposed to brag much about
yesterdays game, in fact about the only
satisfactory thing about it was. the fact
that we demonstrated to Lewiston what
dead easy thing they are when we real
~ get after them. The game was full of
errors and the ball was swatted by both
sides almost at will. Our side managed
however to swat it little oftener than the
other fellows did and to make few less
errors and so we won.
AS most frequently transpires when
these two teams meet, Harry Killeen was
in the box for the visitors and Miller took
his turn on the slab for us. Killeen
pitched mighty pretty game the last
time he honored us with his presence, but
his work was poor enough this time to
make up for it. He was wild, and when
he wasn't the home players made right
merry with his curves. Nichols led off at
oiAS oueslU W1Uli " UNO UdSt ulU dllu dllGT
Houle flied out Willie Mains Mahoney
banged the ball down into the grass in
left field close by the fence and before
Messrs. Burrill and Pulsifer could find it
he had Hoped about the cushions and had
home run to his credit. Then the bases
were filled on an error, hit by pitched ball
and four bad ones. Burns took advantage
of this situation and hit for three bases,
clearing the sacks. And SO it went, errors
and hits and wild pitching until Portland
had scored eight runs which in all proba :
bility were enough to win the game.
Lewiston did not let on they were in the
game at all until the fifth inning, when
they began to find Miller A base on
balls to Pulsifer and couple of errors
by DIESEL started the fun and Gilbert
three Dagger lent emphasis to it. Hits by
Conroy, Edgar and Killeen, together with
some wild pitching prolonged the agony
and good many people began to think
OF that little affair at Lewiston not long
ago. The fears were groundless though
for we soon got those back and as you
will see by the score good many more
beside. In fact as l have previously init
mated, Lewiston was easy for us if it
ne yer is again and never was before.
The game was drawn out, oh SO long.
and only for the fact that the boys were
applying the lash in right merry way
would have been positively painful to
witness. Pulsifer, who to our mind is the
best outfelder in this league went in to
pitch in the seventh inning and was not
q great success. He was wild and hit
hard. Gilbert made one or two pretty
plays for his side and Nichols took a foul
fly after hard run. The more we see
this young man play the more we are con
WINGED that he is one of the best catchers
we ever saw upon Maine diamond
Houle also took a pretty fly on the run.
Mahoney played first base and played it
well. 1t is a remarkable fact that Port
land did not fail to score in an inning or
to make base hit. 1t is a record that
has not been often if ever duplicated on
these grounds. The attendance was about
400. The score:
