MIR. W. X. Chapman arrived in the city
on Thursday from Manchester. N. H.,

Although greatly delighted with the pro-
duotion he was very sorry that Campanari

Chapman met the executive committee of
the Western Maine Festival association in
conference. There was large attendance
and plans for the next festival were dis
cussed. An additional number Of choruses
has been organized for next year; and If
the festival Is to be held as contemplated
the members must beat the record Of the
last thres years. A great deal of hard
work Is necessary.
Mr.. Chapman returns TO New York on

There was q meeting at the Prsble
house yesterday afternoon Of Maine polo
managers for the purpose of deciding on
the advisability of organizing Maine
league. Those present were Mr. William
Mcguire, secretary of last years Msine
polo league from BANGOR; MIR. X. j..
Phillips of Augusta In the interests oil a
Gardiner team, and MIR. Walter Burnbam
for Portland. Others who were expected,
through some Misunderstanding, did not
show up, consequently no decision re-
garding a Maine league was reached.
There seems to be considerable enthusi-
asm throughout the state and in all prob
ability meeting will be called in few
days which will result more fa;isfaetori-
ly. Tbl idea as talked q. the Preble
house Is to have five team league In
Guiding Portland, Bath, Rockland. Au-
gusta or Waterville and Bangor. 1t Is
thought that polo could be made to paS
In all OF these towns.
The Connecticut league, 1t Is under
stood. has disbanded and this leaves u

Boston 81 Maine railroad hal granted a
raise In wages In certain departments.
This became known for the first time
when the pay CIR came around with No

Each engineer, whether on the road or
on a shitter, found q snug little sum
In his envelope, In addition to his pre'i-
Gus pay. All along the line IL averaged
a raise of 20 cents day.
Firemen employed on Shutters In the
yard received 10 cents day more. This
came somewhat as n surprise, 10 most
OF the men and, TO say the least, was
heartily appreciated. This raise took
effect evidently November ], without an
nounosment.
