To the surprise and delight of the audi
ence which assembled in City hall last
evening to witness the last polo league
game of the season the Portlands defeated
the Lewiston team by zcore OF 4 to 8.
In the last three weeks Portland has
dropped twelve games one after another,
but the thirteenth game they captured
after as exciting and interesting con-
test as has been seen here this season.
In the beginning the Portland team
didn't seem to be in the fight at MI.
Lewiston won two straight goals in the
irst period and though the home team
worked hard the Lewistons had things
all their won way. Right in the most
exciting part of this period Hadley
smashed one of his skates, and was
obliged to retire from the floor, Mitchell,
one of the Portland Juniors, took his
place and for an inexperienced man filed
the brepch very creditably until Hadley
could get back on the floor again. Daw-
son got Portland's first goal at the be-
ginning of the second period on fine
pass from Hadley. Then Tarrant got an
other goal and the score stood at the end
of the second period, Lewiston, g.; Port
land, 1.
Joe Foster, formerly of the Portlands
and later with Rockland played with
Lewiston last night and his work was OF
the gilt edged sort That won for him
much applause. Furbush, the one time
Portland half back and fayorite, worked
hard for the visitors, and was Missed
often and loudly for his dirty playing
1t was do or die in the third period,
and the home team went out with vim
and dash they haven't shown before for
many weeks to make G. good finish. Gay
got Portland's second goal and then
Jimmie Dawson tied the score after some
excellent work. The excitement became
intense as the minutes flew by and both
teams scrapped for the goal which should
decide the game. Whipple was working
like q Trojan to cage the ball, and after
five minutes of hot work succeeded in
making a brilliant pass to Dawson who
scored the winning goal. The crowd
went wild with delight when time was
called with Portland winner for the
last time in Portland this year. The

Reddy the Killer and the Lamp.

They are telling a wicked story down
town on a converted "rounder" known
throughout the First and Twenty sixth
wards as Reddy the Killer. The trade
of killing people in that quarter of the city
having become somewhat precarious, Red
dy experienced a change of heart and join
ed the Salvation Army. During the prog
ress Of the exercises at the barracks a
few nights ago the chimney of a kerosene
lamp In a bracket alongside Of the platform
broke, and the fame shot up in an alarm
ing way One of the army officers, in at
tempting to remove the lamp, dropped it
upon the floor, and the oil became ignited,
starting slight blaze. A number of per,
sons rushed forward, among them Reddy,
but all hesitated to act. Reddy, who is not
deficient in courage, made dash or two at
it, but fell back, and the sister who wears
the title of lieutenant exclaimed: Pick it
up, Brother Reddyl Don't be afraid! The
Lord won't let it burn you'll" Reddy made
another grab at the blazing lamp jumped
back, blew on his hands and blurted out,
