The Contest Mas a Close One From
the Start.
Visitors Played the Best
Polo.
Arrangements Complete for
Team i'm Biddeford.

Last evening at City hail the Portlahds
met their old time rivals, the Lewistons,
and In one OF the finest and most exciting
games Of the ~season Does aggregation
defeated Bridegroom McKay's band. The
contest was close from the very start, one
team leading for few minutes only TO
be tied and overcome by the other. But
there is no gainsAying the fact that the
visitors all OF the way through displayed
lust enough superiority to count at the
end. Had the time Of the last
period extended just a triiie longer the
locals are confident they would hava been
able to pull out with flying colors. But
all speculation of this sort Ia another
question. As It was the Lewistonians
managed to get in the goal necessary to
win They played in splendid unison and
every man OF the spindle city club did
beautiful work. Big John Roberts, with
his game leg, csvorted over the surface
In a style not a whit less lively than his
comrades. In the last period Menard
sllppsd and fell so that ons of his ankles
was almost turned. lie at once got up
but had Just resumed when he was struck
In the eye by ths ball. But Menard did
not mind little things like this. Taking
new lease of life he continued doing the
very best that he could. His indomitable
pluck was rewarded for before the game
had come to an end he had managed to
send two balls into the cage.
For the PortIands, the honors fell to
the very alert and agile Cameron. HIS
playing has not been exceeded at any
game In this city this season. He covered
his position and moro, too, and gave such
q brilliant exhibition OF blocking that
the enthusiasts were not at all slow in
app'auding his worthy efforts. Campbsll
was strong in taking the bali and Nal
lory did more than passing good work In
guarding the cage WhippIe seemed to
have an off night and did not appear In
that rare form OF pay which he has so
often exampllded.
The first period ended with the score
tie but the oranks became heated when.
before the conclusion OF the next, the
Portlands had been able to forge to the
front. But thereafter the Lewistons took
mighty brace and then and there won
the game. Rsferee Connolly was obliged
to do some great sprlnting In order to
kee p out of harms way. But no rough
ness on the part OF either team resulted
and at no time was there any Likelihood
of foul being called.

SOUTH PORTLAND.

The bill which has just been introduced
by MR. Moulton in the Legislature, II it
becomes a law, will materially alter sec
tiion - OF the city charter. That section
now reads as follows:
"Neither the mayor. members of the
board Of aldermen, or any officer OF the
city, shall be interested, directly or inoi-
rectly, in any contract or agreement to
which the city is a party. This provision
shall not apply tolooal tradesmen furnish
ing supplies OF any kind In their line to
the city
The prouosed Amendme ent to the char
ter takes away the provision relating 20
local tradesmen, AID draws the llne so
tight that no grocer, for instance, VINO
happened to be a city officer, alderman,
sch hooI-committseman, ETC., could enter
into any agfeementto furnish supplies to
the out poor, no ccal merchant could
furnish anything In his line, etc. In
short, the amendment abridges the right
OF all who take upon themselves the gov
ernment Of ths city in the various
branches to enter into any business rela-
Ions with the city during the tenure OF
their offices. Mr.. Moulton, before intro
uuoing the bill, presented the petition OF
L. L. Benner ana 81 others praying for
such legislation as was stated In Friday 6

Montgomery Advertiser, ARE highly
gratified with the reports which are COM
ing from all sections of the state. For a
time it looked as If the question of ratif-
cation was a doubtful one, but that time
has passed. The people only needed to be
informed and shown the many and sub
stantial reasons why they should prefer
the new to the old. Few people could un-
derstand the work of the convention mere
ly from reading the proceedings as they
were published in the newspapers, to say
nothing Of the fact that but few, COM
paratively, outside the towns and cities
had the opportunity of reading them. Now
that they have seen and read it. and have
heard it fairly explained, they see that
the charges and insinuations made by the
opposition are misleading and were in
tended to mislead. The people are also get
ting their eyes opened to the fact that
the opposition is led almost entirely by
men whose ambition for office has not
been gratified and whose claims to Dem
