The question of Sunday golf playing
Rhieh,was at the front somewhat in Port
ard last year, is causing an interesting
discussion in New York, and the Tribune
" that city has thought it worth while to
levote several columns to an examination
VI the opinions of leading clergymen on
he subject. While they generally CON-
iemned Sunday golf playing, few
thought 1t might be proper reoreation
for suon as have no other time for out of
door sport. All agreed that there was no
excuse for people of the leisure class who
play the game Sundays. Father G.. L..
Wallis, OF the Episcopal church of st.
Mary the Virgin, said that for people who
were obliged to labor six days in the
week he saw no objection to game of
golf provided they did not allow It to
prevent their attendance upon religi GUS
service. But this opinion was quite ex-
ceptio nal, most Of the clergymen arguing
that the allowing of games would tend to
change our Sunday TO the Continental
Sunday. which is regarded as a day of
amusement and recreation. Il was sug-
rested also that the Saturday half.holiday
aow SO well established, removed, to a
large extent all excuse for the use of Sum
day as day of pleasure.

lit Is believed that considerable ad.
vantage will result from the recent visit
of the general passenger agents of the
Vanderbiit lines to Poland Springs and
Portland. Already 1t has resulted in the
direct checking Of baggage from Western
points direct to Poland Spring; and 1t Ii
thought that this portion of Maine will
come in for considerable railroad adver.

con siderably in the West icing the only

But you needn't mention how.
You can speak with admiration
