game of the season in the Opera House,
between the Rockport Y. NJ c. A. team and
the Belfast High school aggregation, drew
an interested crowd last Friday evening.
AS Rockport had defeated the b. II. 5.
boys at the game played in Rock port close
and exciting game was anticipated. AS the
game progressed, however, the Belfast team
demonstrated their superiority to the visit
ors in most of the points of the game, as the
final score OF IS TO 10 shows. The team
work and passing of Belfast was excellent,
and the accurate shooting and difficult bas-
kets made by Cunningham, Colby and
others was a great feature of the game.
Although Rockport seemed to play in hard
luck, the home team literally played all
around the visitors. The summary;

Barbours ran the line to Bar Harbor. Since
about two years ago, when the Cimbria was
sold and taken off the Bangor-Bar Harbor
run, Bangor has had no steamer connection
with that section and business houses have
felt the loss. The idea now is to procure a
steamboat, not too large, that can make the
