King EDWARD IS THANKFUL
For Terminationo of the Struggle
in South Africa.
SPECIAL COURT AT BUCKINGHAM
To Receive Congratulations OF
Officials.


Id dndon, Eng. June 13 King Edward
held % special court at Buckingham
Palace today for the reception of ad-
Dire 4ses from the lord mayor, Sir Joseph
c. Dmsdale, and the corporation and
from the London City Council, CON
graduating His Majesty on the restcra
ton of peace. The King took occasion
to express his sentiments on the sub
iect; more fully than heretofore, and
tho tactful recognition which he made
of the sterling qualities of the Beers
will doubtless materially aid in the
work of appeasement in South Africa
His Majesty, surrounded by the house
hold, received the city dignitaries in
the throne room, and, replying to the
lord mayors address, he said:
II thank you in my own name and
in the Queens for your loyal and duti-
full address and the congratulation you
tpnder us at the close OF the war in
South Africa. ] heartily join in your
expression of thankfulness to the
Ali1ighty God for the termination Of
the struggle, which, while it entailed
on my peoPle at home and beyond the
sea so many sacrifices, borne with ad-
mirable fortitude, has secured u result
which will give increased unity and
| strength to my empire. The cordial
and spontaneous eXertions in all parts
of my dominions, as well as in your
ancient and loyal city, have done much
to bring about this happy result.
''You give fitting expression to the
admiration universally felt for the
yalor and endurance of the officers and
men who have been engaged in fighting
/ their countfy's battles. They have
been opposed by brave and deter
mined people, and had to encounter
unexampled difficulties. These diff
culties were cheerfully overcome by
steady and persistent effort, and those
| who were our opponents will now,
rejoice to think, become our friends.
1t is my earnest hope that by mutual
CO. operation and goodwill the bitter
feelings of the past may speedily be
replaced by ties OF loyalty and friend
ship, and that an era of peace and pros
perity may be in store for Soutt
Africa. y
Subsequently, in response to thu
address OF the London County Council
the King spoke as follows;
thank you for your expressions o
loyalty and affection toward myself anC
the Queen. | rejoice with you at thu
thought that the victory which ha
crowned the perseverance, and braver.
of my forces will pave the way for tn
extension to the regions newly addet
to my empire of that system of govern
ment which, with Gods blessing, vii
bring to South Africa the peace an
prosperity that have in every quarter 0
the globe followed its establishment.

new schedule and probably at better
advantage to both than in the three
team series arranged by the league A
series of games will be played between
the two teams and odd games wnen-
ever they can be arranged.
A schedule has been arranged Ior
this week and when completed announcer
new arrangement will doubtless De
made. Fairfield will play here on the
College field. Tuesday afternoon, as
was arranged under the league, and
win also play here Wednesday AFTER
noon. On Friday and Saturday AFTER
moons Waterville will play in Fairfield.
the latter paying the usual guarantees
which will be just so much clean
money for Waterville. This arrange
ment has been made on account of the
horse trot which will be held in FAR
field. Friday and Saturday.
The Fairfield management had ar
ranged to furnish the baseball for the
meet and preferred to play Waterville,
but if Waterville had refused to play
would have been obliged to secure some
other team. But Waterville was per-
fectly willing to play, hence the ar
rangement.
Both teams will arrange games with
the teams of the Northern Maine
League whenever possible and it is be-
lieved that a good number can be
played with all dates practically open.
The Fairfield Waterville schedule can
be made to fit the convenience of the
Northern Maine League teams, so
games can be easily arranged. The
Waterville team will be strengthened
whenever it seems necessary. A new
third baseman has been secured and
will be here, today. He is good man
and there are others in view who can
be obtained if necessary. There is
money enough behind the team at pres
ent for all it's needs and a winner is
going to be supported. Local baseball
is going to be just as fast ard exciting
for the remainder of the season as it
has been hitherto and doubtless more
SO. The first week under the new man.
agement has been success both finan-
cially and for sport and the conditions
promise to be much more favorable,
this week.

BASEBALL SHAkEUP.
Belfast Quits the League-Farfield and
Waterville Will Finish.

There has been considerable of
shakeup in baseball since Saturday
afternoon. The Central Maine League
has busted" but not on account of
Fairfield and with the best OF feeling
all around. Belfast has Withdrawn and
will doubtless join the Knox County
League in the place of the defunct
Warren team. This is the natural place
for the team and the management of
Waterviile and Fairfield recognize the
Justice of the position taken by the
Belfast engagement and have no COM
plants to make.
When the Knox County League was
organized. last spring, there was con-
siderable talk about admitting Belfast,
but Warren, it is understood, objected
Jon account OF the expense it would be
| to their team. So Warren was taken
| in instead of Belfast and the latter
( later joined the Central Maine. But
when Warren dropped out it was just
the chance for Belfast to step in and
! the supporters of the team over there
naturally wanted to take it. With the
team in That league the game can be
managed to much better advantage
than in the Central Maine. Neither
Waterville nor Fairfield made any Sc
rious objection to Belfast's withdrawal,
hence the team is now out of the Cen
trail Maine League and will doubtless
enter the Knox County League and
commence its schedule there, this week.
Meanwhile this will have no effect on
baseball locally. Fairfield and Water
vile will play out the season under a

FAIRFIELD WINS GOOD FIGHT.
Downs Warren Madison Skowhegan
Aggregation by Score Of to 1.

Fairfield went to Skowhegan, Satur-
day, to have a try at the new team that
has been gotten together to represent
Madison. The team was made up
chiefly of players from the Warren
team lately of the Knox County League
with the others from the old Skowhe-
gan team and from Madison. This
made pretty warm proposition and
the contest that resulted delighted the
crowd. The final score was to and it
was red hot from start to finish. But
Fairfield was too strong and won out
with clean fielding and heavy batting
Fairfield batted heavily, getting two
doubles and triple and five singles.
H. Eenniston, one of the Warren men
who did the twirling for Madison, was
wild, giving seven walks and hitting
one man and having a wild pitch. Rus
sell was in the box for Fairfield and
kept 'em well scattered and down to
