HalIowcll, Me. Oct. 24.-(SpeciaD.-
One of the most important events Of
the year Of 4 political nature, was the
meeting Of the Republican State com
mittee. which was held at the Halo
well House, this evening, for the pur-
pose of choosing a chairman to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
Hon. F. NJ. Simpson Of Bangor and
the banquet which was given in honor
of that gentleman.
As might have been expected, the
gathering was not a large one, the at
tendance being restricted to the MEM
bers of the committee and Il few repre-
sentatives Of the different daily papers
of the state. The meeting was charac-
teri.ed by the utmost harmony. Hon.
Seth NJ. Carter Of Auburn being unan-
inously chosen chairman of the State
committee, and the banquet which fol-
lowed was one Of excellence, being
thoroughly enjoyed by all who partook

BOWDOIN, COLLEGE.
Mass Meeting of Athletic Enthusiasts
Big Crowd for Portland.

Brunswick, Me-, Oct. 23.-(SpeciaD.-
largely attended and enthusiastic
mass meeting was held by the student
body in Memorial hall, tonight, for the
purpose of arousing interest in athletic
sports in general, but more particularly
in football
The fact that Powdoin will meet
Tufts in football, this fall, after a sew
erance of athletic relations of several
years. has caused great enthusiasm
among the student body, and the inter-
est in the outcome Of the game is sec
ond only to that of the Maine college
games. Bowdoin and Tufts are consid-
cred old rivals and both teams will try
to win.
The game is to be played on the Pine
Tree Athletic field in Portland, next
Saturday afternoon, and, it is expected
that the largest crowd that ever at
tended a football game in Maine will
be present. Reports from this city in
dictate that everyone in Portland will
turn out to sec college football and in
addition to this Tufts supporters from
Massachusetts are making arrange
IIthlS " dlleliu III d UOuy.
1t was for the purpose of completing
arrangements for the attendance Of the
Bowdoin student body that tonight's
mass meeting was held, and the
speeches of the evening were to arouse
interest in this, although some re-
marks were devoted to track interests.
The speakers of the evening were
Prof. Franklin G. Robinson, whose re-
marks We're, as usual, both witty and
full OF common sense. His remarks
were received with great applause.
DR.. F. n. Whittier, director of the
gymnasium at the college, was the
other member of the faculty who adj
dressed the meeting, and his remarks,
also, were of a nature that aroused
great enthusiasm.
The other speakers of the evening
were Coach Barry of the football team.
Capt. w. Z. Rowe, Med, '07, who is
doing gymnasium work this year. Capt.
Toby of the track team and Captain
Chapman of the football team. All of
the last mentioned speakers dwelt upon
the need of hard work and of the sup
port of the student body.
AS A result Of tonight's meeting it
seems certain that the greater part Of
the students will attend, and that they
will be accompanied by the band.
cheering section has been reserved for
the students at the grounds in Port
land.
The first number of the Bowdoin
Quill, the college literary monthly. has
appeared and contains many interest
ing articles. Among the articles is the
story "Rosalie," which won the Haw-
thorne prize, last Commencement. The
story is from the pen of E. A. buddy,
