GAY RELEASED.
Beginning Of the Change in Augusta Polo Team
Other Players in View.

There is to be a radical change in
the makeup of the Augusta polo team
and as a start in the work Manager
Finn released Gay, the second rush,
Friday. Gay has not been doing the
work, this year, that was expected of
him, and though he has at times show
ed good playing. at others he has been
very SLOW. He and Houghton could
never play well together, and of the
two there is no doubt but that Hough-
ton is the better man. or at least, he is
playing better, this year.
Who will take Gays place has not
been announced. 1t is very hard to
secure a good man, as there are so
many leagues in operation, this year.
1t is very different in finding polo
ball. OF the latter there are many,
but in polo the real good ones are few.
Chapman of Bath, will probably play
with the team at Portland, tonight, and
it is hoped there will be regular
player secured before the game here,
next Wednesday. when Rockland
comes here. Manager Finn will take
a run up into Massachusetts after the
game. Saturday night, and look after
the talent he has in mind.
Hadley will go to rush in the place
of Gay, and O'Hara will play in the
place where he is most used to playing.
which is center. The new man may be
a half back.
Manager Finn and Treasurer Kelly
have always had an eye on Furbush,
and they would like to get him here
now to stiffen up the team. He is
certainly a great player in his position
at half back. Another man was the
same as engaged. when he was signed
for the Maine Central league.
1t is understood that Gay has signed
to play with the Lewiston team.

The subject of the above cut will be
remembered as leading member OF
the Augusta base ball team Of the New
England League in 1896. and whose
connection was severed by severe ac-
cident early in the season. Charlie
King, as he was always called, was an
exemplary young man and promising
ball player. He has many friends in
this city who will join in congratula-
tions for his recent election to the
Massachusetts Legislature, by vote
of s29 to 6s1 in the towns Of Randolph,
HolbroOk and Avon.
The esteem in which he is held at
home is voiced in the following item
from the Brockton Times Of Oct. 81:
The Democrats of the Seventh Nor
folk district are most fortunate in their
choice of candidate for representa-
tive in Charles F. King of Holbrook.
Mr.. King was born in Randolph In the
year 1871 In childhood his parents
moved to that part of the town now
known as Hoibrook. There he was
educated in the public schools and was
afterward employed for number OF
years as a clerk in the grocery store
of J. TisIale Southworth.
To the citizens of Holbrook and to
all who may have known him beyond
the confines of his own home he stands
as young man of the most exemplary
habits. a man whose character is
above reproach. whose reputation has
| never been furnished by the breath OF
suspicion; one who can command the
respect. the support and the confidence
of every voter in the district he hopes
to and shall represent.
Bound by no cliques, Influenced by
no mercenary consideration, hampered
by no promises of future patronage, he
is worthy the hearty support and we'll
earned trust of every elector in the
district which comprises the towns OF
Randolph, Holbrook and Avon.

have known Vinol in it's uncouth dis
agreeable stage for years. l refer to
cod liver oil as We used to know it, and
the various emulsions. The real merit,
the intrinsic worth, was all there, but
that disgusting exterior that enVeloped
it made it anything but a pleasant
article, even to those who We're not
troubled with an over-fastidious taste.
Now we have this important medi-
cine, the active curative principles of
the Gods liver. properly clothed, so to
speak and in form that gives enjoy
ment to the taste, no wonder we are
accomplishing as much as we are, and
here is a letter that bears strongly on
exactly the same thing. which was re-
sponsibe for starting me off on this
train of thought" Whereupon Mr..
Webster read the letter which Mr..
Isbell of North Adams had written to
Chester Kent & Co., being as follows:
You wrote and asked me about
VinOl. ] saw an article in our local
paper the other day which had taken
up the subject of this great discovery,
and it compared the man who wouli
prefer to take a dirty, numbering, slow
stage coach, rather than a bright. COM
modious, airy and fast Pullman car, to
the man who as matter of preference
would take cod liver oil instead Of
Vinol. That struck me as describing
the subject pretty well. Cod liver oil
has its merits. Everybody knew that
cod liver oil did contain valuable
remedial features, but just think of the
cumbersome, disagreeable exterior in
which they were conveyed. Vinol has
these same valuable medicinal parts,
but Vinol has them in a concentrated
form. so that they do more. do it better
and in less time than when we former
ly knew them. Vinol is a luxury to
take. Vinol is modern, pleasant and
an example of mans ingenuity in get
ting the best to be had, from any ar
ticle for the greater good of humanity.
Vinol should be appreciated, and l
knew it is, for in it we have the great
est builder-up of any remedy ever put
on the market
Very truly yours, c. c. Isbell."
II think" said Mr.. Webster, as the
reporterwished him good morning, you
will pretty soon begin to believe that
there are a great many men besides
myself who might be termed Vinol en-

Il have just been reading a letter
which Mr.. Isbell, chemist l have long
known of as an enterprising man, re-
siding in North Adams, wrote to
Chester Kent & Co.." said Mr.. o. c.
Webster Of the well known firm of
Bowditch, Webster & Co., yesterday,
as he was in temporary lull of bust
ness watching a we'll known man on
the opposite side of the street. sit has
set me thinking what great differ
ence could be made by anyone or any
thing when pleasIreable sensations
were experienced, upon coming in con-
tact with the object.
You know that fellow over there,
don't you," said Mr.. Webster, pointing
to the man he had been watching. Our
reporter, who had dropped into his
store to buy cigar, told him he did.
What do you think Of him. con-
tinued the druggist.
We'll 1 think he is at heart one of
the best men l ever knew. In fact that
seems to be the general opinion of
everyone in this city. But why in the
name of goodness he does not have a
little more regard for his personal ap-
pearance and the clothes he wears is a
mystery to us all. He can well afford
to brace up and look better. and
though everyone cannot help admiring
him for his cleverness and good heart,
yet have never known of anyone who
has ever seemed to wish to make a
close personal friend of him.
You have struck exactly upon what
was in my mind" said Mr.. Webster.
"Our friend across the way, with all
his good qualities, would be delight
full companion We're he but a little
more careful about his personal habits.
A ragged coat may be all right in its
place, but when it comes down to be
obliged to associate with man in
timately, everyone will acknowledge
| that clothing that is pleasing to the
eye, besides being clean and neat, is
much preferable and will add to the
mans good qualifications a thousand
per cent.
THAT is just exactly the way it is
| with Vinol,' continued Mr.. Webster.

everything he sees that applies to the
| great tonic reconstruction which is

his connection with the chemists who

The YOUNG Moose on Exhibition.

Game Warden Neal brought the little
moose shot by Harry Lishness, to this
city, Friday, and all day the animal
was to be seen hanging in front of
James Fuller's grocery store. 1t is
hard to estimate upon the age of a
young moose and the many men who
saw the animal, have many different
ideas concerning his age. Some say he
was calf moose, while others claim
he is a year old. The animals weighs
about 220 pounds, and has small horns
started from it's head. The game COM
missioners are undecided upon what to
do with the animal, but they have an
idea of having him mounted for the
State museum.

from which the electric apparatus for
lighting the gas as we'll as the turning

of the things about the room that at
tracts the attention of those who pass
Through it, is the electric switch board
that controls all the lights of the
House and Senate, and the Hobbies of

wall and is protected by large plate
glass window, that is moved UP or
down when there is a switch to be
