Jed Prouty Coming Again.

There are a number of pastoral plays
now occupying the boards, but none
better or more enjoyable than "Old
Jed Prouty.' 1t was one, if not the
first, in the field and not one of its
successors has for moment cast it
into the background. "Old Jed Prouty"
has not so many accessories, such as
snow storms and well sweeps, but relies
solely upon meritorious acting, and the
truthful portrayal of it's characters.
1t has it's own atmosphere and
doesn't need any extra blasts from out
side. The charm of it all centers round
the odd character of Old Jed himself.
The story is a surprisingly simple one,
yet there are more real tears, more
creditabe emotions, more sunny smiles
in "Old Jed Prouty" than in any play
seen in many weeks. The play will
be given at City hall, Friday, Aug. %.

GOOD SPORT AT BENEFIT GAME.
Winsow n. G. w. Defeats Gardiner H.
e. w., IA to 5.

Teams representing the Hollingsworth
& Whitney mills of Winsow and those of
Gardiner played a game on the college
field, Saturday afternoon, for the benefit
of the Waterville team, and it resulted in
victory for the former by a score of
IA to s. The visitors showed a sad lack
of practice, while the home team
was in the game like veterans most of
the time. There wasn't much batting on
either side, as the pitchers were effective.
c. Meader was in the box for Gardiner
and if he had been given good support
might have won out as he only allowed
nine hits and struck out II men.
Winslow had three men in the box dur
ing the game. Simpson started the game
and kept the visitors at his mercy for six
innings. Then Priest went in from first
base for two innings and was effective
Then Taylor went in for one inning.
The game afforded lots of sport, even if
ii was one sided. There is lots of good
material at the Winslow mills and a team
is usually in practice, that very
good game can be played almost any
time. The score:

DID EN- UP BROWN.
WaterviIIe Just Misses Giving Belfast
Coat of Whitewash.

There was joy in the ranks of the
faithful. Saturday afternoon, when it
was announced that Waterville had
won from Belfast in the game there
by score Of to l. 1t was a game
for blood from the start, as Water
vile was determined to show that there
was speed and endurance left in the
team in spite of the climb it has had.
Captain Phelan was in the box and
pitched the game of his life. Belfast
managed to get eight hits, but they
were so scattered that they We're
worthless. Three of these were made
by the new man, Sherman, and two
by Goods, the other men being unable
to connect with any sureness. Snow
man made the one run for the home
team in the fifth, starting with a
double and scoring on an error by
Donovan, who was playing second. 1t
was blank, blankety- blank for the re-
maiEder of the game.
Waterville drew blanks for five
innings and then tired of it and got
three spot. Two singles, a stolen
base, an error and a hit by pitched
ball fetched 'em. The fourth and last
was made in the eighth by Phelan, who
started with single, went to second
on wild pitch, third on sacrifice by
Cowing and home on single by Nolan.
Waterville played a beautiful fielding
game and batted well against German
who has usually been very trouble
some. He recovered from his injury
sufficiently to go in for this game and
pitched good ball, showing little signs
of any weakness. The score and league
standing:

The members of the ball team never
received a heartier welcome home than
Saturday evening, for a victory was
certainly pulled out of the fire at Bel
fast. No one really expected the team
to win. but did expect a red hot fight,
and when the news came that they
had just missed putting on the white
wash and had won by score of to 1,
the supporters were wild with delight.
And there are better days a coming.
