No system Of road building has ever
been devised which for durability and
smoothness approaches that of the
Romans, but the cost was of course,
enormous, and large armies of men
were employed. Some of the Roman
roads are still in good condition after
a lapse of Is centuries, during which
most of them have had few, if any,
repairs.

WEsTERNERs BEATEN.
Lively Boat Race With Wisconsin Light
weights.

| New Haven, Conn, May 29.-Yale
won the two mile boat race from the
University of Wisconsin on Lake
Saltonstall this afternoon by about three
lengths in the time 1854, with the Wis
consin eight finishing 10 seconds behind.
From start to finish the visiting crew
gave Yale a good battle. Both Fights
roweds evenly, Yale squirting ahead as
soon as Referee Richards's pistol was
| fired and never being overtaken, al
though the Yale stroke was lowered dur
ing the last half mile and the Wiscon-
sims decreased the distance between the
two boats by half a length. 1t is estimat-
ed that 5000 people saw the race.
The race was not started till o'clock
owing to misunderstanding about tow
ing the crews behind the launch to the
starting place. Wisconsin won the toss
for course and chose the east side. This
gave her the straighter side of the lake.
Yale crept steadily to the lead and by the
time quarter of mile had been
trayersed was nearly length ahead.
AT the mile stake, Yale had nearly a
lcASuH VI CLEAR wafer between her SMELL
and the Wisconsin's and the Blue contin-
ued to draw gradually away till half
mile from the finish. Then Stroke Lang
ford of Yale dropped his pace down to
about 80 and the Wisconsiners who, de-
spite their light weight, seemed full of
life, hit up lively stroke till they
crossed the line. They rowed in good
form throughout the race, while Yale
seemed not to catch the water forcibly.
Guy Richards of Columbia was referee;
the timers were the coachers of the two
crews-Robert J Cook for Yale and An
drew O'Dea for Wisconsin, and the Judges

and J.W Curtis of New York for Yale.

THEIR SACRIFICE.
The Original Poem by Miss Adalena #.
Dyer.


| Dyer.
[Greater love mas no man than this that a
man lay down his life for his friends.l
With silent feet the healing years have
sped,
Since savage war, unclaimed by wrong
and hate,
Turned arts of peace to death and carnage
red;
And left our land of promise desolate.
War can assume no more appalling guise
Than when 1T comes armed with fraternal
strife.
The guilt of brothers blood intensifes
The horrors of time with horrors rife.
But when a country, torn and bleeding
sore,
From an internal wound by traitors
given,
Calls to the sons who still her name
No holier cry can pierce the dome of
heaven.
They heard, and waited for no second
call; sl ~
Dropped were the tools of peaceful labor
then;
Hot hands let trowel, hammer, ledger
fall,
made men.
The flag that stirs our hearts in days of
peace,
Was to them as the ark to Jews of old.
No star should in it's constellation cease.
Until its folds enwrapped their corses
cold.
Who loves his country loves his Preside;
The same affection keeps both affairs
bright.
Home is the keystone of nations pride.
The soldiers inspiration in the fight.
Gray bearded men were there within the
ranks,
And boys whose eyes still bore the hope
of morn.
Not with regret they fought, but more
with thanks
That they Deaths roll of honor might
adorn.
The saddest sacrifice in all the list
Was those bright boys, enf1amed with
Freedoms breath
Those idols from a thousand hearth stones
missed
Called in the morn of life to night of
death.
But We're the valiant men who rushed to
arms,
And challenged death in freedoms sacred
name,
The only heroes in those fierce alarms
Who earned the yictor's palm and crown
of fame?
The Portland daily press., 1897-05-31

Was not the woman's sacrifice as great
Who suffered silently, from strife apart.
knowing some ball might make her desc
late,
And pierce her own through a brave SOL
dler's heart?
The hero in the battle was sustained
BY all the pomp and pagantry of arms;
but she who by the fireside remained.
Had only hope to quiet her alarms.
Man in the struggle gave his very life,
ana woman gave what made her life
worth living
And was she not a MARTYR in the str;fe9
And should no stone commemorate her
giving?
For, thirty years Peace, with a gentle
hand
Has hidden hasty graves with flowers and
For thirty years she's sent her white
winged band
To blend forgiveness with nations
grief
But heroism and self sacrifice
Cannot be hidden with the dust of wears
The heart keeps tender with old memo
ries
When eyes have spent the tribute of their
tears.
This monument we dedicate today
Would be cold stone if gratitude and love
Did not, like incense, at it's bases lay,
10 make our gift acceptable above.
1t stands, not so much bronze-a work of
art
But as the substance of living thought
The emblem of remembrance in the heart
More beautiful than ever sculptor
wrought.
It is the pledge of grateful memory
10 all who gave their country blood or
tears.
Hero and heroine should blended be
On Fame's proud scroll that brighter
glows with years.
o c e11I camping on that unseen
Where war and call to arms no longer
move,
Take from our hands this tribute that we
yield
In token of our gratitude and love-
Here may it stand an emblem glorifed,
10 tell, in solid stone and masonry,
The tale of heroes who once fought and
To keep our land inviolate and free.

Colby winning to 1 in an interesting
game. The grounds were wet and heavy
from the rains. Bowdoin tried dilatory
tactics after the second inning, with the
hopes that the shower which was threat
ening would come on before five innings
were played. The game was called in the
middle of the fourth on account of rain.
Colby out-felded and out-batted her op-
ponents. Scannell pitched an excellent
game only one scratch hit being made off
him, and his fie ldirg was of the gilt
edged order. Tolman, Cushman and the
two Putnanis played a good game. Stan
wood did the best work for Bowdoin, COW
ering great deal of ground. Haines did
good work behind the bat, The score:

TWO INNINGS PLAYED.
Rain Gets In Its Work On Another Ball
Game.

Another well meaning but entirely alb
surd attempt to have ball game on the
Deering grounds was frustrated Saturday
afternoon, by vigorous, snappy little
shower, which didn't last very long, but
which performed the work it was sent for
most effectually.
The Rocklands presented substantially
the same team they did week ago. Co.
burn was out of the game and Captain
Wiley was at his old place at first. AS a
back stop young man by name of Steve
Mahoney officiated Viau was in the box
for the visitors and Miller was prepared
to steer the Portlands to victory. Cough
lin-drew four bad ones at the start and
took second on a wild pitch. Dorsey got
under Nichols long fly and Viau per-
formed the very clever trick of striking
Houle out. McGuirk hit sharp one
down to Wiley who handled it well and
the side was retired.
The Rocklands took their turn and it
took just five balls for Mr.. Miller to
send them to the field again. Dorsey hit
a sharp liner to Coughlin. Wiley rolled
one IN 'front.' OF Mlller ana was JnfOWn
out and Sheehan did precisely the same.
For Portland Polheinus was out, Fitz-
patrick to Wiley, Roussey flied to Quinn,
Burns got first on Murphy's wild throw,
DIESEL, Miller and Coughlin singled and
two runs were scored.
Rockland was again ablanked. Houle
took Fitzpatrick S foul fly very prettily
after hard run. Quinn hit safely, Ma
honey struck and Chestnet punched one
into the air for David Coughlin.
The third inning Houle led off with a
hit and McGuirk Clipped in one of the
same. Houle tried to take third but was
thrown out by Chestnet Mahoney threw
wild to second and Beasie scored. Polhe-
mus took first on Murphy's tumble but
was caught off second by Nichols when
Rerssey had been given his base.
The shower came up at this juncture
and operations were suspended. The
above tells the story somewhat in detail
but ball games are so short this year, you
might as well know all about them.
We are improving though as you see,
one inning Friday and two Saturday. By
Fourth of July we may see ball game.
