teams from Augusta. Gardiner. Hal
lowell and Winthrop is certainty for
this summer, the baseball fans in this
city may look forward to a fine season

everything gives good prospect OF
very prosperous season. Qulmby feld

are hopes of a grandStand for the field.
This addition would be an attraction
and would assist materially in helping
the attendance at the games, and it
is big attendance that counts as much
for success as anything.
A project is now on f 80 ball
game on Quimby field on the morning
Of Memorial day. A nominal admission
will be charged and the receipts Will
help pay fer the erection Of a perma-
oent grandstand. The attraction at
the game will be the fast Gardiner
High school team and a picked nine,
with m IF the league team players
in its Z up. This game will give the
fans "-' 9por'unity to see some of the
lo..g,. nIa,tls, men who will defend

,ult " and - Il. members of the Gardiner
baseball As. .ociation, the owners of the
team, viii make every effort to boost"
the attendance at this game.

which is now set for June 26. and clos
ing about the 10th of September. The
expense Of supporting the team is a
heavy one-with salaries to be paid
and the MANY little incidentals that do
not occur to the "fan,' but which are
very much in evidence i'm the treasur-
er's office. f. S. Lincoln is treasurer
and with Manager Douglass he asks

A very wonderful instrumental mer-

A very wonderful instrumental mer-
curial barometer, was placed on exhi-
bition in c. O. DavenpOrtS window on
Water street. Saturday, and it attract
ed considerable attention. The barOme-
ter is probably the most delicate in
strument ever seen in this city, and
Mr.. Davenport told the Journal man
that it is a certain forecaster of the
climatic conditions. The instrument is
controlled by Il strong spring, hardly
visible to the naked eye. and many
times finer that the hairspring of an
ordinary pocket watch. This spring is
yery sensitive to the pressure of the
atmosphere and when it feels YER
tain pressure it transmits the degree
of air pressure to large mefcufiai
worm which in turn carries the
power to wonderfully constructed
dial.
