Jerry's 9. Rogers, a.cowboy, WHO has
recently been in New Mexico, brought
back with himte Waco, Texas, a mum
miied, bat, much larger than, the spe-
icies commonly. seen fitting. around
buildings or occupying dark recesses
in Texas. The Bat, although very
much withsred by time, measured Is
inches from tip to tip of the wings,
and is almost the same length from
the tip of his nose to the end of his
hindfeet. He has very long ears, I'M
proportion to the body, and toes that
would enable him to grasp a stick an

renewed efforts, and throughout the re-
mainder of the game the boys from the
banks OF the Ksnnebec were kept at q
safe distances. The largest crowd OF the
season surned out TO see ths game, many
ladies being present. More enthusiasm
was manifested than at any Of the con-
tests which have yet been played at City
hall. The cheering was perfectly tumul-
tuous In the latter part OF the second Pc
Rod when the entire Portlandsteam gath
red about the Gardiner goal and str,ved
with all their might to send the sphere
whizzing into the cage. There was
wild mix-up with the opposing players
crowded in heap, the Portlands concen-
trating all OF their energies to scoring
goal whiIssthe GARDENERS worked hard TO
whip the ball across to the.other end of
the floor. Finally by stroke of spien-
did team work the Portlands got the
ball Just where they wanted 1t and
showed it in the direction Of Cameron
who was handy at the goal. Cameron
did his part to a nicely and within a
twinkling sent the ball into this cage.
The enthusiasts broke loose with all
OF their vocal powers at the work and 1t
was sometime before Refree Snowman
was able to step in and make himself
heard in announcing the official result.
Equal to this in point or brilliancy
and for which also very liberal applause
was bestowed was the scoring Of the 10th
goal by Capt. Mckay. The Portlands
were in ons end of the hall where they
were defending their cage. The veteran
Portland leader had his eye with him
and by q most accurate shot sent the
bali across the surfaoe and plumb. by the
| padded legs OF Swords. The eighth goa
was made by Campbell, who made the
rush and continued bysat once moving
along with the ball and sending 1t In
with straight line from the centre intc
the cage.
| There was no little rough work during
the evening and more than once 1t seemed
as II free fight was going TO take
place. Campbell was felled to the fiooi
| in the latter part OF the first period and
lay for few minutes while he recovered
his breath. He pluckily arose and kept

a round of hearty applause. just before
this Swords and Meade became involved
in little difficulty, the Gardiner man
running out from his cage and pursuing
the Portlander. Then the bali was sent
to other sections, the two belligerents
were obliged to separate and not the least
damage was caused.
Three or four times the l.layers were
bothered with their skates becoming loose
and this resulted somewhat In delaying
the game.
All OF the locals put up first class
article of polo. Dawson, former Port
land favorite, excelled for the GARDENERS
while Swords did cleverly at the goal.
In the amateur game the South Port
lands and the W. H. Scott played a tie,
each making two goals. This tie Will

on their home surface. But Capt. Mckay

A Flying Bird Cage.


The biggest thing of its kind is the Fly
ing Cage described by Director H9rna-
day in the November Century, in paper
OH the New York Geological Park:
Americas unusually rich series of wa
ter-birds naturally suggested special IA
cilities for their care and display. AS a
rule, il is only the student who pauses to
examine in detail large collections of small
birds; but such large and attractive species
as famingos, ibises, storks. egrets, herons.
pelicans, geese, swans and ducks appeal
to everyone. These birds of snowy plum
age and ready wing naturally suggested .
cage Of grand proportions, with living
trees and shrubs, pool of water, and so
spacious every way that fight within it
would be not only possible but enjoyable.
The outcome of this idea is the great Fly
ing Cage, a veritable colossus of its kind,
1J2 feet long, y feet wide and 30 feet
high. A block of 10 three-story houses
could stand within it, with 10-foot side
walk in front, and back yards % feet
deep. Three f0rest-trees have been in
closed by the cage, many saplings and
shrubs grow within il, and n spacious pool
OF living water, bordered by profusi0n
of aquatic plants, makes this water-brds'
paradise quite complete. The trees az
ford shade, shelter and nesting places for
the egrets, heronS, StOrks and lbiSeS. and
the lakelet and the shrubbery are the
homes Of the ducks, geese and fiamingos.
In all captive bird life know of no other
sight so inspiring as these clean, bright
birds. flying in joyous exercise, wheeling
and circling to and fro in the upper re-
gions of this great wire-inclOsed section
of nature. With conditions which make
| it possible herons, egrats and ibises are
as fond Of flying as monkeys are of climb
| ing. During the whole of the past Sum
| mer wild night -hesgn has haunted the
vicinity of the Flying Cage, and very often
was seen perchilg an,,its top, to get as
near as possible to his relatives within.

H. A. Busing, Bridge Commis-

for building the Cimarron river
bridge and found the following bids:
Kansas City Bridge Co., S672; J.
w. Hoover Bridge Co., S5o5; John
Hotz, S49o. Mr.. Hotz being the
lowest responsible bidder, he was
awarded the contract,
Mr.. Hotz informed us that he
would begin work on the bridge in
about 80 days, as it would take about
that long to get the necessary lum-
Der.
This bridge has long been needed
and before long traffic between
Meade and Beaver will be an easy
matter with the Cimarron bridged.
Beaver should now take steps to-
ward bridging the Beaver, and we
will have a good route.
