This evening is the one when Port
land takes another fall in the eaugua
race for the penrant. 1t is written
in the book of fate that Captain Fur
bush's men will cause Portland, who
now leads the league, to take little
drop. In the meanwhile it will be all
the easier for Augusta to catch up with
them.
Manager Burnham and his team will
be at City hall. for the second time, this
season. and this time they will face a
different team than they did before.
There is no reason why Augusta should
not beat the leaders but even If they
do not, 1t will be hot game. The same
Augusta team as usual will be on hand.
and if they play as fast polo as they
sport There is pretty sure to be a
good crowd, for the Augusta public is
getting back its old time love for polo,
especially winning polo. Previous to
the game the Valleys and the Vickery
& Hill teams will play. This should be
Interesting in iaself as the two teams
are the leaders in the local league.

Ihere has been some talk lately,
about the recommending of the pas
sage of a law for the punishment of
person Who shoots another when ont
hunting, through mistake. OF course
the general law covers the case, yet the
prosecuting attorneys dislike to i'm
prison man under the circumstances.
There were several cases of accidents
of this sort in the fall of 1897, and the
illegal shooting of men" was talked of
to quite an extent. Some asked why
the game commissioners did not advise
a law that would prosecute the men
who did the shooting. but their reply
that there We're laws enough seemed to
answer the question - letter.
The commissions. t<>k especial
pains, this year, 10 send vu. leafiet
10 all the places where they would fall
INTO the hands of the guides, ard
sportsmen. telling them to use great
care about shooting, and never to pull
the trigger without making sure that
it was an animal that they were shoot
ing at. The season advanced very
satisfactorily in that respect without
the mention of hardly an accident.
The accident of last week when Dell
Durgin of The Forks, was shot and
killed, being mistaken by a brother
hunter, has revived the talk in this
regard.
1t is possible that such a special law
to cover cases of this sort may DE
recommended by someone, but it is not
likely to come from the commissioners,
as they think it is not in their province
to act in the matter. Should such a
law be recommended they will doubt
less favor it as they look at it in the
hight of preventative to the accidents.
Should the law be passed they would
do all in their power to advertise it to
the sportsmen. They would have
copies of it sent to every one of the
registered guides and wardens. beside
having it posted where it would be in
conspicuous place. In this way they
think the sportsmen could be educated
to use caution, and not be so criminal
ly careless.

WHETHER we have war or not,
somebody is making pretty penny
out of the present difficulty with
Spain. The fifty millions Of dollars
that Congress placed in the Presl-
dents hands is nearly all gone. Most
of it, of course, has found its way into
the pockets of the ship-builders Of the
North who are always drain upon
our revenues far beyond the equiva-
lent they return, and the manufacture
ers of guns and ammunition who, it Is
quite sure, are reaping heavy profits
from the alleged necessities Of our
government. The prices that have
been paid for vessels and munitions
of war are not made public, nor Is
there any statement of expenditures.
That the prices are extravagant is I'M
doubtedly true and that much money
is being wasted is equally certain.
We intend no reflection upon Presi-
dent Mckinley. He has all that he
can do in the consideration of the
many vexed questions incident to the
present trouble, and the contractors
are all aware that he has neither in
clination or opportunity to keep watch
upon the financial details.

that the explosion did not take place
outside the ship that there were no
dead fish found in the harbOr that
no column of water was thrown into
the air; that no vibration was felt on
land and that vessels anchored near
the Maine felt no shock.
