by minor teams Monday. st. Paul went

as the minor leaguers with whom he played

player and goes after balls with such grace
that he does not seem to be working hard.
But he has not such phenomenal ability.

innings on first base for Milwaukee Sunday
and did not have fielding chance. This must
break the record.
The correspondent of the Globe at St.

second base for st. Paul on Sunday. This
was bit of careless reporting as Nyce played
second for St. Paul. Evans pitched a part Of
the game for st. Louis.

Arrangements for the Industrial Expo
sition Next May.

Although the general business depres-
sion has been felt in Portland to less
degree than in many other parts of the
country, 1t has been quite severe enough
to cause uneasiness for the coming season
ana 70 stir our business men to some ac-
tion that shall slim late the sluggish
currant OF trade. Therefore 1t was de-
olded some weeks ago to hold, in May,
TWO weeks fair, an industrial and bust
ness exhibit, which could not fail to hold
some interest for every person i'll the
state. The decision arrived at, the mat
Ter was placed in the hands of Mr.. Isaac
y. Atkinson of this city. No better mau
could have leen selected and the result
OF the work already done guarantees the
success of The enterprise beyond pernd
venture. The exhibit will be held in the
Auditorium and will be opened on the
18th day OF May. by Mayer Randall. The
city government and many state digDita-
ries will be in attendance. Following the
opening day will come Lewiston and
Auburn Day. ""Brunswick Day. 7" bath
and Rookland Day." Bangor Day"
Governors Day" upon which day Gov
ernor Powers will deliver an address;
Portland & Rochester Day" "Boston
& Maine Day." Eastern and Western
divisions. and thus for two weeks each
day will hold some special attraction
Arrangements now pending with the
various railroads centering here, when
perfected will enable those along their
respective lines to attend this fair at a
sman cost aud what is better will permit
them to remain in the city several days,
instead Of obliging them to return
on the next day as has been the
case heretofore. The fair itself will be
on scale never before attempted in
Maine and will surpass anything Of tue
kind ever held in New England. Nearly
thirty thousand square feet of floor area
will be offered exhibitors and the way
spaces are now being engaged 1t will fall
| far short of the possible limit. The man.
agsment are proceeding on new and ad-
vanced lines inasmuch as features will
be introduced SO entirely novel and
unique that the whole cannot but be
gratifying in the extreme. The visitor
will not only find an abundance to inter-
est and instruct in the various exhibits
but also will be entertained and amused.
A band will be in attendance both after
noon and evening and upon a stage to
be ereettd at the south end of the hill
will be produced several acts of '.varie-
ty'' nature during each session. In the
basement will tie found the mechanical
exhibits in operation, power being aup-
1 piled. Taken as whole the undertak ing
| Is large one and 1t certainly merits the
cordial support of every citizen of Port
land. That such support is being ex-
tended is evidenced b. the proportions
| the enterprise has already assumed.

fishing, some for their own consump-
