TO all the complimentary things we
said of the Texas and her officers after
their visit here last year we would
now say ditto. 1t is too hot to hunt
up new terms of praise and honor.
True, the officers are not the same, with
two exceptions, as those we met in
1899 but it is an undisputed fact that
Uncle Sans uniform covers mighty
good fellow, wherever and under what
ever circumstances you find him. To
this the writer can testify from a per-
sonal experience extending over more
than fifty years. Should any one dis
pute this assertion, and claim that the
writer is prejudiced because he was
born web-footed and with love for the
sea and those who sail upon it, we can
prove it 10y our citizens who met Capt.
Mackenzie and his officers; and should
first put the young ladies on the wit
ness stand. So here's to the Texas, hel
officers and crew; long may she proudly
sail the ocean blue; and whether in the
frigid north or in tropic cline she'll
have the best wishes of Belfast every
time.

BASE BALL.

The Belfast Base Ball team played four
games on tic Congress street grounds Old
Home Week against some Of the best teams
in Maine and won every. game. Tuesdays
game was reported in The Journal last
week. A report in the Bangor Daily News
gave very one sided and incorrect view of
the game, claiming, in somewhat ungentle-
manly language, that the umpire's decisions
were unfair. 1t is a favorite method of GER
tain low-class players to charge every
defeat to the umpire, but the Bangor boys
are not of that class. They repudiate the
report, and say that it was sent out without
their knowledge or consent. One man of
that team did, however, make some talk to
that effect, and claimed that unfair decisions
were made on occount of bets; that he,
himself, lost "twenty-fve'' on account OF
it. 1t was afterwards learned that his loss
was twenty-five cents. Bangor had no more
cause than Belfast to complain of the deci-
sions on that day.

bouquet Mr.. johnson is a colored man
and has been catcher on the Belfast team
several years. This season he has been
behind the bat at every game and holds any
pitcher that may be put into the box. He
also takes everything calmly, and whether
he gets home run or is struck out always
goes to his bench with a smile. He makes
no ''back talk" but attends strictly to bust
ness, and is a good player both on the in
or out side. The Belfasts won IA to !. with
T. base hits, two-baggers, l three and
