Polo Notes.

Lewiston Sun: The Lewiston polo
team will be in style this winter. They
will have very pretty suits of purple
with large white /. on the breast of
the jersey, and the Lewiston polo, sports
think that the Lewiston aggregation
will be able to play purple polo.
Goaltender Murphy of last years Bath
team, has arrived in the city. and will
play goal for Augusta, tonight, at Gar
diner. For some time. Peter Hackett
has been suffering from malaria and
Murphy will play goal for Augusta I'M
til Hackett's health permits him to go
into the game.
Portland Express: The Portland polo
team will report in this city. Saturday
morning, coming direct from Paw
tucket. r. l.. where they have been
putting in some practice this week. The
team as it will start the season is as
follows: Rushers, Curtis. Morton, and
Lincoln; center. Whipple; halfback.
Jean: goal, Farrell.
Jimmie Doyle of Salem. who was to
play rush on the Lewiston team, will
not report for duty on account of an
accident to his jaw while playing base
ball. He was struck again, last Fri
day, in the same place and was ad-
vised not to attempt polo for it was a
small chance of saving the jaw If he
was again struck.
Bath Times: The Alamedas will go to
Lewiston on the 5.45 P. NJ, train, Sat
urday. and will present lineup which
the Bath people are confident will land
the MT in he ire
will play as follows: ]. Mooney, LIST
rush; McGilvary, I'd rush; E. Mooney
center; Murtaugh, halfback and Rus
sell, goal; Phelan, substitute. Quite a
party will accompany the team.
Boston Record: John Burgess of the
Fall River City Polo League last sea-
son has been signed to tend goal for
Bath this year. Before leaving for
Ratf, this week he was presented with
gold watch by Fall River friends, a
pair of gold cuff buttons by his brother.
and few other presents. Jim Muir
laugh, the Bath halfback, made the
presentation speech, and good time
followed at one of the popular Fall
River clubs.
The polo season opens in Gardiner to-
night and Gardiner and Augusta will
fight for honors. The Gardiner team
has just completed week of good hard
practice and are in great condition. Au-
gusta's team was never stronger than
at present and good game is prom
ised. A game between two amateur
teams win be played before the league
game. The full Gardiner Cornet Band
will furnish music during the game. 1t
being Saturday evening the game will
not be called until 8 o'clock. The seats
now on sale at F. E. brakes and are
having a good sale.
The interest in polo, as the opening of
the season draws near, is getting as
intense as it was last season, and of
nothing happens, this will be a most
successful season, for the Augusta
team. Every player who has been
signed by Manager Smart is favorite
with the local followers of the game,
and everyone is confident that the team
will be strong one. A large number
watched the practice at City hall, Fri
day afternoon, and all think that it
will be crack-a-jack team, with
little more practice. According to the
talk among the devotees, Gardiner will
have to look out tonight, or Augusta
will furnish the larger part of the au-
dience.

deal Of trouble for the directors, who
were not able to keep the disaster quiet.
Mr.. Hoffman went to Europe and tried
to raise some funds, but without avail.
One of the capitalists came to the col
ony, but was unwilling to place his
money there. So the people who could
get away began to leave and the colony
dwindled, for the supplies had given
out.
In 1893 too the factional fights began
that have fastened the downfall of the
colony. More colonists came back, and
by the end Of 1894 only 200 were left
and they had nothing to do but dig
enough ground to make living. They
made friends with the natives, who
had pity on them, and have lived as
the Mexicans do since the colony left
them stranded. Now that the conces-
sion under which the party occupied
the land has been revoked they too

Factions Hasten Downfall.
The Mexican government has revoked
the charter of the Topolobampo col
ony on the west shore of that country.
Over /, OoO, 900 acres were covered by it.
and the action brings the end CT the
Utopian hopes Of hundreds of duped
colonists scattered over the Western
States, principally Illinois, Michigan
and Kansas. The story is one of bright
outlooks, bitter disappointments and
great suffering in the attempt to found
perfect haven Of prosperity. 1t was
| the dream of the theorists, and all who
| went into it were hoping for lives of
| unalloyed happiness. Not less than
| 81, 100000 has been spent in the effort
| to bring prosperity out Of the impos-
sible conditions that existed. That CO.
operation could succeed on the coast
| of Mexico, with the lack Of facilities
that was to be expected, was consjd-
cred the fairest proposition by the men
who started the colony. They proved
| to their own satisfaction upon how
weak foundation was the structure.
A. X. Owens, of Chester, Pa and
later of New York, was the founder OF
| the colony. No religious services were
| to be allowed on the coast, and all were
to have the enjoyment Of perfect free
dom.
The first colonists went out in 1886
and had severe time of it. There was
nothing to eat and it was fifty miles
to the nearest postoffice. They caught
the smallpox and many of them died
Of that disease and of starvation. All
| winter they sent home for aid, and in
in very bad shape. At this time G. B.
Hoffman and John Breidenthal, both
wealthy, became interested in the
scheme, and the former was made the
president and the latter treasurer. They
used their efforts to get the colony on
its feet financially. In this they were
very successful and several hundred
people went to the new Mecca search
| ing for homes and believing that here
| they would be relieved from all trou-
| BILE. They wrote back to their friends
glowing letters, and for few months
the outlook was better. But the crops
| failed and it was serious matter for
the colony.
Then it was proposed to irrigate, and
the beginning of a big ditch from the
Fuerte river, seven miles away, to the
lands of the company was undertaken.
For two years they worked on it, the
payment being in scrip receivable at
the colony store for the necessaries of
life But when the ditch was done it
was found that it was useless, as it was
too shallow. The colonists began to
grumble, and as there were about 800

Among the old young men of this dec
ade Gen. Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky,
is conspicuous. Though he passed his
eighty-sixth birthday last October, he
still has more vigor and go than many
men quarter of a century younger
than he. Gen. Clay has always been
a fighter He was an abOlitiionist in
Kentucky as far back as 1852, and no
one could intimidate or induce him to
stop his free and violent denunciation
Of an institution which he considered
totally wrong. He printed paper the
presses of which had to be guarded by
armed men against an offended and
angry mob. In 1861 he went as United
States Minister to Russia, and he has
been generally credited, and quite right
ly, too, with having done great service
in influencing Russia to stand between
the United States and the threatened
alliance of the European powers to rec
ognize the Confederacy. Gen. Clay, so
as to show his contempt for the limita-
tons of age, took to himself, within
the last few years, young girl as his
wife. He lives where he was born, in
Madison County, Ky, and was most act
i've in the recent political campaign.
