The Bangor papers are giving good deal
of prominence to "Billy" Black, who re-
turned to the University of Maine Monday
after clerking at A. A. Howes & Co.'s dur
ing the vacation. The Daily News says of
the foot ball team:
The loss of Moore, the All-Maine center,
will be felt, but i'm Black, the indeStructi-
| BILE freshman Of last year, who played the
punching bag part to Moore all the season
without whimper, there's man who will
| fill the place SO well earned He is young
giant in strength and under McCoy's eye is
sure to make good, leaving no worriment as
| to that position.
| The Commercial says:
| About the best man at college for Moore's
| nosition in case he does not return is Black.
Black played center considerably last fall,
| though he did not get chance in any of the
| big games He weighs about 1870, but he was
green to the game last fail and lacks
Noores aggressivenesS and Moore'S ability

| ing Mccoy will give him Black should de-
yelop into a worthy successor to Moore in
case the big man does not return,
| SHIPPING ITEMS. The new four masted
schooner in the Pendleton yard is pro-
nounced by many the handsomest modelled
| craft of her class ever built here. If a

statement of one of our smaller Maine
coasting vessels which indicated that there
is not much money in the business. The
schooner had stocked on two cargoeS, coal
| and lumber, about $1,100, gross. Against
this were port charges, tOwage, etc, that
left balance of only about 5000, and that
had to go for new sails. Sch. Robert W.
