WATERVILLE.
NOW FOR BASEBALL!
Teams to Place in This City and Fair
fieId-First Game, July 10.

The prospect of the whole month OF
July passing over our heads with no local
enthusiasm astir is beginning to be re-
placed by much more encouraging out
look. Waterville and Fairfield are really
going to play ball. according to the latest
phase of the situation. If reliance can be
placed in a little serious talk which was
made between the two managers.
Wednesday afternoon. the first game will
be played On Alumni field. next Wednes-
day.
Whatever talk there has been made and
however much has been reported which
has never even been talked about. one
thing is sure. namely. that the public of
both towns has shown by frequent and
generous subscriptions that their senti-
ments favor the raising of two good ball
teams. The money which they have
pledged, moreover, is a sure guarantee
that the situation has been settled.
Now. as long as the management of the
Trolley League seems inclined to ignore
the fact that we would like a little friend
ly discussion with them and are very
much interested to know what they real
ly think about us and our prospects for
that we are soon to have the privilege
of backing up some of our talk by Civ
ing a public exhibition on Alumni field to
which all of them will be cordially invit-
ed to attend. Admission. however, will
probably be charged at the gates.
The Fairfield fans have hustled around
town and by presenting subscription pa
pers have secured the substantial support
Of 500 per week to begin with. Wednes-
day. the same thing was done in Water
vile and the support has been most
hearty. The entire city seems to be walk
ing up in real earnest to the fact that we
need little sport which we should fur
nish ourselves and a plenty of backing
has been the result. Subscription papers
are now in the hands Of active men who
are canvassing the streets. These men
are c. w. Atchley. Sperry II. Locke, Her
bert Cunningham, William Cowing, Frank
Philbrook, George Hegarty and others.

An Obnoxious Couple.

On a late afternoon Electric car from
Augusta, yesterday. man and woman
both we'll under the influence OF liquor
boarded the car and made things pleas
ant CD for the other and more sober oc-
cupants of the conveyance. Few OF the
passengers escaped the insulting remarks
of the woman. who waxed particularly
loquacious, and the conductor made com
mendable, If fruitless. attempts to either
quiet or eject the vicious pair. When the
car reached the terminus in Depot square
this city, Officers Tozier and sprague
were on hand and arrested the man and
his companion. Both showed fight, and

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
= 81
Important Business Transacted, Last
Evening-New Shoe Factory Plans.

A largely attended meeting of the Gar
diner Board of Trade was held. last even
ing. and considerable business of i'm
portance was transacted. In the absence
of the president. Hon. Freeman Patten.
Mayor c. A. knight presided. r. p. Haz-
zard. superintendent of the Gardiner fac
tory of tn Commonwealth Shoe & Leath-
er Co. of Boston, was present. and he
spoke III connection with members Of the
Randolph Board of Trade. 1t appears
that the members of the Randolph board
are DESTROYS of having the Commonwealth
Corporation take possession of the shoe
factory building on the other side of the
river and to open up a new industry
there. The building is a large four-story
structure. on the banks of the kennebec.
and but a few yards from the entrance to
the Gardiner Randolph bridge. This
building was originally built for Z shoe
factory and it was occupied as such for
part by the Farmers Supply Co.
Mr.. Hazard stated that his company
felt felt the need of extending its business in
ness to put in branch of the Gardiner
factory in the Randolph building provid-
ing that the question of power could be
arranged satisfactorily. 1t would appear
that the motive power for the shoe max
the entire plant would have to be sup
piled from this city. and this will be one
Of the most important problems to be
dealt with. If it is found impracticable
to take over the Randolph building. Mr..
Hazard stated that his company would
consider a proposition from the Gardiner
|er addition to the present factory.
After the presentation of these plans,
several members of the Gardiner board
addressed the meeting and Mayor knight
appointed n committee of five members
to investigate the Randolph proposition
and to also look up the matter of a new
addition to the Gardiner shoe factory.
The members of the committee are as
follows: Frank E. Boston. G. Dexter
Libby. Edwin L. Russell. Or. Fred f.
Strout and Z. s. Lincoln. This commit
tee will investigate the matter thorough
ly and will report to the board as soon
as possible
Mr.. Hazard also stated. last evening,
that his factory would need more power
in the near future and 1t will be the duty
of the committee of five to provide ways
and means for the accomplishment OF this
purpose also.
The meeting adjourned at O'Clock, as
this was the only matter to be consid.
cred. The report of the special commit
tee will be awaited with considerable in
terest. not only by Gardiner business men
and citizens. but by the Randolph citizens
who have so interested themselves in thu,
town as to form a Board of Trade which
already has been productive of some good
results.

CAR DERAlLED.
Marrow Escape from Serious Accident
Some Boys Mischief.

!, The Waterville & Fairfield Electric car
No. II was seen to be in a sorry plight
at about 11.30. Wednesday forenoon. and
all owing to the desire Of some small boy
either to see little excitement or To
see what sort of an implement he could
make out of a railroad spike by sub
jecting 1t to the weight Of the car
AS the car was rolling down Lockwood
hill at rapid rate. the trucks came in
contact with this piece of iron. which
was large CROUCH to throw it from its
course into a pole which held one of the
guys to the trolley wire.
In spite OF the serious shock which was
experienced by the few occupants of the
car. nobody was injured. Although the
car was not quite SO fortunate 1t was not
put out of service and in a short time
was on the rails speeding along to its
destination.
The name of the boy whose genius led
to this experiment could not be learned
