Premium List.

Our county fair managers were not
able to arrange the premium list in time
for this weeks paper, but promise it for
next week sure. They all had hustling
period for some weeks past and are en-
titled to little rest. The phenomenal
results, about $4,000 being cleared after
all matters are settled, is something to
be proud of. This was accomplished by
hard work, but without the liberal treat
ment of the society by Col. Ilsley, these
very desirable results could not have
been accomplished. To his liberalty in
providing buildings and the general inn
provements is due great portion of the
success. y

Well Deserved.

The praises heaped upon our popular
townsman, Thad. NJ. Chapman, chair
man of the Republican State committee,
for the grand work he accomplished in
the recent canvas, is all due, notwith-
standing his every day way of doing
things does not accord with the import
ance usually assumed by those who have
accomplished satisfactory results.
But the consciousness of duties well
performed will be more lasting need
of praise than any mere words that can
be showered upon him.

GAME NOT CANCELLED.
But Pennsy's Athletic Board Don't Feel
Very Good Toward Harvard.

Philadelphia. May 9.-For nearly
three hours yesterday the board of di-
rectors Of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA Athletic Association and the fac
ulty committee on athletics held a
Joint session and wrestled with the
proposition. shall the HarvardPenn-
sylvania baseball games be cancelled?'
There was a sharp division and much
argument, but the victory was for the
element that favored playing out the
schedule this year. The resolution
adopted was so carefully worded that
1t is open to numerous interpretations.
1t admits that there was a strong pro-
test made against playing the games;
it notifies Harvard that there is no
warm spot in the Quaker's heart for
her. and it leaves the question Of Il cor
tinuancc of the baseball relations open.
The resolution reads something like
this: 1t is the sense of this meeting
that at this date no action should he
taken regarding the baseball games
with Harvard.
Several hundred students waited out
side the gymnasium until word came
out that the Harvard game was not
cancelled. The announcement was not
cheered.

BOTH IN GOOD FORM.
Harry Edcs and Terry Martin in Pink
of Condition for Local Bout.

Harry EdclS of Boston. who is re-
Earded rs one of the very best light
weights in the boxing business, arrived
in this city early yesterday morning
and registered at Hotel North. Edels
was out on the road after breakfast
between here and Hallowell training
hard for his 15-round bout with Terry
Martin of Philadelphia. which is to be
decided at the Augusta Athletic Club
Friday night. Martin and Edels have
trained hard for this match and as
each has promised his supporters that
he will win. the members of the Au-
gusta A. G. are certain of witnessing
one Of the most interesting contests of
the season.
Nearly two weeks ago the boys met
il Portland. and the sports from this
city who saw the bout. say that it was
the hest ever seen in the Auditorium.
Edels is in better shape than he was
when he met Martin before. and he has
gained confidence by the great work
he did in that encounter. Knocking
Terry Martin down is no mean feat for
a younGster in the game as Edels is,
and it shows that he has u dangerous
punch.
Edels has been in the professional
ranks but a short time. but he has
proved to the satisfaction of his friends
and admirers that he is q coming star.
He has beaten Larry Conlcy. Blink Nc
Cioskey. bested Lew Myers. bested
Bartlv Connolly and fought draw
with Harry Lewis of Philadelphia with
III six months. His last engagement
was with Terry Martin. whom he held
off for 10 rounds.
Martin is in perfect form. AMI only
few nights ago demonstrated that fact
by knocking out that tough New York
welterweight. Kid CCffcy.
The demand for tickets for this event
has surprised the directors and they
say now that nearly all the reserved
seats have been engaged.
If signs do not fail it will he the big
gest crowd of the season and the best
exhibition.
