In less than half an hour the water

boats on the ice and waited. For two
days we waited on the ice. On the
third day we decided to start for

We bid good-by to the bark and
started to haul the boats over the
Ice. This we soon found to be impos.
sible, however, owing to the lumpiness
Of the ice. We therefore abandoned
all the boats with the exception of n

After tramp of over fifty miles we
came across some whaleboats. They

Captain Owens had heard that we

Goddard Seminary was defeated :
to yesterday afternoon on the sem
mary campus at Montpelier by Mont
pelier Seminary aided by every posi-
BILE decision Of the umpire. Goddard
put up good fight for the first few
innings but it was evident that
Umpire Standish was determined to
win the money he is said to have
wagered on Montpelier. After endur,
ing his outrageous decisions for five
innings the Goddard boys weakened
and the game which they ought to
have won by good score was lost by
careless playing on their part. Mont
pelier Seminary encouraged by the
fact that they had Umpire Standish
as surely as If he was wearinga uni
form and playing on their side put up
a good game but would not have won
except for some "yellow playing on
the part OF the discouraged Goddard
boys.
The contest was witnessed by
large number spectators two sides Of
the campus being lined with them,
On the north was the crowd OF Mont
pelier sy mpathizers while on the east
side were those who hoped that vict.
ory would perch on the Goddard
banners which were chiefly conspicu-
Gus by their absence. Each line OF
spectators was waving mass of its
respective school colors.
With the exception OF two or three
players Goddard put up good gnme.
One man made over half the total
errors charged to their side. Magee
pitched fine game and was as rule
we'll supported. Th, errors made
were as a rule costly and were accom-.
panied by timely batting so that the
effect was disastrous.
Umpire Standish got in his mean
work at every conceivable Op, O1tunity
so that it is not to be wondered at the
local team was discouraged. His de.
cisions were SO partial as to provoke
comment from every one.
Goddard was the first at the bat and

first run in this inning. Murphy hit
fly to Carpenter who lost it. Parker

London England, June 10 -

the author OF number Of works on

the committee on steamship subsidies
recently. He expressed the opinion
that the changesswhich had occurred

compared with that If other countries,
notably France and Germany, were
due in great extent TO circumstances
other than the granting Of subsidies
by foreign governments.
Referring lncldenty to the trans
