Since the use of the dump in Puddledock
has been stopped a new dump has been
started on the upper side of the shore end OF
the lower bridge, where it is an offence to
the sight and nostrils of all who cross the
bridge and an obstruction to those who
would use plank walk in approaching the
bridge. There is already pile higher than
the rail of the bridge, and when the tide
comes in it sets adrift a great variety OF
rubbish which the ebb scatters along the
shores below.

Win NJ. WEIGH, who so successfully man
aged winning base ball team in this city
several years ago, has been at it again this
season. Mr. Welch has charge of one of the
wards at the State Farm Asylum in Bridg-
water, Mass, and organized the ball team
at the Farm. 1t is d champion team, having
won every game played. The last game,
played Saturday against the strong Campello
team, resulted in a victory for the Farm
boys by the score to 0. While at home in
this city Mr. W. was deeply interested in the
National game and managed the locals for

his team against the best going. 1t will be
remembered, in particular, the fine contest
the locals put up against the sPortland's,
champions of the New England League.
Mr.. Welch has sent to Belfast a portrait Of
his Farm team and a very athletic looking
set of players they are. Possibly he may
bring the team to Belfast next season.
A CORN ROAST ON THE SHORE. The
j, X. corn roast on the pavilion shore last
Friday evening was agreed to be one OF the
most successful events of the season. The
fire was the achievement of a master build
En- assisted by several muscular fuel gath
erers, and was a brilliant and glowing sue
cess from the time the first faint flame start
ed until the embers were regretfully left, Late
in the evening. The supper was supertine,
but on that point everybody was ''too full
for utterance" The lemonade (Which was
not made IN the shade) was welcome adj
dition to the feast, as we're the boxes of
candy produced after supper when the
company settled down for a while. Each one
added to the symposium of anecdote or
nonsense verse, and the collectors gathered
a new fund of ''song and story After the
corn was roasted and eaten the musicians
contributed their share of entertainment,
and the selections ranged from the old
favorites "The Three Jews" and cold Cyl
to some old revival hymns that were equal
ly as diverting. The fire was too fascinat-
ing to leave, and it was after ten when the
party broke up, agreeing that the only
thing that possibly could have added to the
pleasure of the occasion was the presence
of two of the club members who were
unable to be there.
