FoouTBALL ON SATURDAY.


On Saturday afternoon the Portland
Athletic clubs football eleven will line
up against the team Of the Haverhill
Cycle club. This Is said to be the strong
est aggregation Of gridiron heroes which
will play here this season, with the ex-
ception OF the Newtowns. The five can
tor men in the Cycle club tam weigh
over 200 pounds each. Several weeks ago
the Portlands played the Arlingtons Of
Haverhili, and defeated thsma Imme-
diately after they were challenged by the
Cycle club. As there Is n good deal OF
rivalry between these two Haverhill or
ganizations the game of Saturday Will be
one for blood. the Cycle club being eager
to beat the team which defeated their RI
walls. The Portland Athletic managers
have recently tried to arrange game
with the Carlisle Indians. but letter re-
ceived from the manager Of that team
says that the schedule Is full 60 that 1t
will be impossible for the club to come
here. The larger colleges have entered
Into an agreement that their tennis shall
not play with athletic club elevens, and
that has prev ented the Portland manage
ment arranging for some games they
would have liked to have played. How
ever, there will be no lack Of sport In the
"a me on Saturday.

WHO Is THIS PORTLAND HUNTER.
"It was one on the Portland man."
said Mr.. ID. G. Durrell Of Dead River,
who was In Lewiston this week, and told
his yarn to the Journal. 81 won't tell
you his name, because he Is q good
fellow and he has already paid out all
that one man ought to for cigars. This
much / will tell you. he came to my
place at Hurricane Falls with the Messrs.
Skolfield OF Philli ps and has been having
good time bar the episode OF which
am going to tell you.
"Last Friday morning he got up long
bsfore the sun and struck out by himself.
The boys had been telling him about a
certain sand knoll that the deer were in
the habit Of crossing on their way to n
field where they could breakfast on car
rots and turnips which the farmer had
not yet pulled.
"He didn't know exactly where the
knoll Was. but he thought he could find
IL. The morning was misty with fall
vapor and he oouldn't see things any too
plainly. When he got into the region
where he thought tine knoll ought to be
he went more cautiously. Before long he
saw 1t. There was no mistaking Its
lines. There was the light gray sand and
In the center on the top of the knoll,
there was a-no, 1t couldn't be--yes, Ii
certainly was-sure enough-a deer-yes,
he could sac 1t move.
HE pulled mp his thirty-thirty and let
drive. The deer dropped. But most
wonderful Of all. the knoll ran away he
went closer and saw then what he had
done. The knoll was Sam Jacks flock OF
sheep, and the deer wac one that stood
on bit of rising ground In the centre OF
the rest. The one that he bored with the
thirty thirty was dead as o door nail and
1t cost him three dollars to fix 1t with
the owner of the sheep-not to mention
the cigars for the crowd"
