The Pop Concert a Success.

The Pop concert was a success OF
course. Every one knew it would be
and what every one knows is Il fact.
1t was scheduled to begin at o'clock
and by that time nearly every table in
the hall was surrounded and there
were many in the galleries who did not
care for refreshments.
The hall was prettily decorated.
Bunting was arranged along the gal
lerics and SCores of Japanese lanterns
were suspended from wires over hca !
and along the sides. There was an
abundance of ferns, pottcd plants and
flowers SO the scene was "A very pleas
ing one. The orchestra was stationed
on the stage, the rear of which was
draped with large American flags.
Menus were pasted on each table SO
one could order what he liked. a very
efficient corps of walters from the SO
Ciety served and attended to the wants
of everyone. There was an animated
chat in progress most Of the time and
every one had a good time. The music
was good and the whole program
passed Off without Il hitch.
Pop concerts are destined to he about
as popular in the city as Rurnmac sc
sales were during the winter and they
will make a very enjoyable entertain
ment through the hot days of summer.

WATERvILLE'S A WINNER.
Something for Local Base Ball Enthusiasts 10
Think About.

Here's some more base ball. You
have proba bly, heard of the farmer who
lived up back of Benton Falls some
years ago. He was a man who did not
believe in wasting his efforts and was
very economical in his time and mon
ey. He was hoeing corn one summer
day when a neighbOr chanced along.
The farmer was going over the piece
in lively style. The neighbOr was some
what surprised and stopped to watch
the proceedings. The farmer took a
squint at hill and declared that it
was good enough without hoeinE. The
suuint at the next one developed the
fact that it wasn't worth hocinE. SO
it went all over the field and the job
was done while you thought about it.
But this isn't the way with the Wa
tervillc ball team. 1t isn't good enough
without cultivation. 1t needs constant
care and attention to keep it in flour
ishing condition. 1t is growing strong
and sturdy and will be a prize winner
no doubt. Now game has been sched
uIcd with the Boston Journal team for
Friday afternoon. after the show. This
has Sheen mentioned before. but lest
we f6r1et, lest we forget"
The journal team is very strong
a aggregation this year. 1t gave Caribou.

About 40 are needed besides the ball
