RAIN STOPPED GAME.
Meridian Had Taken Early Lead Il

Mobile, May Especial bernie
McCays aggregation of ball players
went out to Monroe Park this after
noon to try conclusions with the Me
ridion White Ribboners for the first
time on the local lot this season, but
before the game had progressed very
far rain butted in and held UP hostil-
tiles
Ray went in the box for the locals
and from the showing made by the
diminutive finger for the three in
nngs he faced the visitors, 1t was evil
dent that he was not up to his usual
standard.
The visitors got busy in the first in
ming and pulled a couple of tallies over.
Devore, first up hit one to Breyette
and the short fielder threw the ball
over Kemmer's head, Devore going TO
third on the leary toss. Roth singled
to right and Devore cantered home.
Sample went out from pitcher TO
first, Roth going to second on the play.
| Taaffe out from short to first, while
Roth went to third; Stewart singled
to left and Roth scored.
After this Ray settled down and for
the other two innings played, kept the
visitors from getting anywhere dam
gerously near scoring. The locals
didn't manage to pun over a single run
in their little less than three innings
In their half of the third. when rain
butted into the. play, a man was on
first. with one man down. They might
have scored here, but the majority OF
the fan colony was willing to have the
game called Just as it stood.

A FIRE COMMISSION.
Discussion Of the Plan Proposed for
City Of WaterviIie.

Reference has been made several
times of late to the appointment of 4
commission Which should have entire
charge of the frt department as far. a
least, as tn" expenditure of the public
money is concerned. At the meeting
of the City Council last week the
mavor announced that the apprOpria-
ton for tho fire department had been
exhausted and a sum of money was
transferred from the Hayden sewer ac-
count tn the fire department account.
This with the several credits which will
accue t. the fire department from the
street department and the street
sprinl<ling department will carry the
fire department over until next year.
A little eXplana ton may be necessary
at this time to indicate just how the
appropriation which this year was the
Sama as that of last year should have
been wiped out 50 early. BY consult
ing tn" rolls of accounts for March
1906 anG that Of March 1901 it will he
seen that the bills for the fir" depart
ment last March amounted to approyi-
mately $1,000 more than that of the
month Of March last year. This is due
to the fact tt.at many bills which should
have been paid by the previous adj
ministratiOn came over to the present
city Council early in tie year and thus
shortened the Amount of cash for the
fire Department by $1,000. The old hose

cost of $500 and Il new pair Of horses
which cost $500 mere became necessary

Colby Notes.

Saturdays game with u. of Nj. closed
d successful season of football and al
though the boys lost to U. of NJ. they
feel that they were defeated fairly and
squarely in clean, hard fought game.
A noticeable feature of the game was
the friendly spirit in which it was car
ried on and at the conclusion of the
game the two teams cheered their re-
spective colleges in unison instead of
in separate groups as usual. Captain
Sherburne led the cheering for Maine
and Captain Higgins for Colby
Colby was unfortunate in loosing the
services of Cary. Kimball, Mcclellan,
and Hammond, who were unable to
take part in the game. Every Colby
player came out of the game without
scratch after 60 minutes of hard
football which speaks we'll for the
cleanness of the contest.
The team has trained this season for
Coach Bankhart as probably no Colby
team has trained before and it is the
wish of every Colby man that Coach
Bankhart will return next fall and he
will allow it. He has won the friend
sup anu l'SptCl III every one W no
knew him. Colby students and sup
porters cannot express too highly their
appreciate ion of his services.

RACES AT COLISEUM.
Good Crowd. Good Music and Good
Sport Saturday Evening.

A series of good races was held al
the Coliseum rink last Saturday even
ing. Mrs. II. B. Vigue and Mrs. lZetta
Small We're the contestants in the first
race. which was for one mile. Mrs
Small was not in the best of cOndi-

and in sharp sprint in the 18th lap
when Mrs. Vigue attempted to pass
her, gave way from exhaustion ana
fell to the floor in q faint. She was
carried to an anteroom where she
quickly revived and soon took her
place again among the skaters.
The next event was WheelbarroW
race between George Estes and Ar
thur Hall. They started from oppo-
site sides of the rink and Estes had
the lead all of the time. In the 18th
lap he passed Hall for a short time but
soon lost this position. Estes was the
winner in 4 min. As sec.
The last event was a hoop race be-
tween two boys, Phil Upper and
Howard Linnell. Upper led at the
first of the race but got into trouble
with his hoop and Linnell took the
lead, holding it to the finish. The time
was 4 min, 40 sec. There was good
attendance and the good music made
