BASE BALL. A stranger who witnessed
the game played last Saturday between
Searsport and Stockton mines on the latter's
ball ground, said that such "plain roast"
as that given by Umpire Donlin at 3rd base
in the 9th inning, after the rank decisions
against the Searsport's all through the
game, was unfortunate, for it gave "black
eye" to the manly sport of base ball in the
community. 1t was plain that the umpire
in his earnestness to defeat the Searsports
had Overreached the mark, for not Stock
ton man or woman cheered the decision,
thought settled the game in favor of their
nine. The gentlemanly manner in which
the Searsport nine quietly left the field
was stronger denunciation than the loud
est argument could have been and left the
sympathy of the audience with the Stock
ton nine in their unfortunate selection of
an umpire, who was placed in a similar
situation to that of Harry Orchard in the
Haywood trial. The superb pitching of
both Cocord and Cook and the honest work
of each player in both mines, who all played
as though victory depended on their in
dividual efforts, would have made this one
of the finest games of the season but for the
rank umpiring. 1t is hoped these two mines
may meet again at an early day on fair
field with no favorS.

gagged in the lumber and coolie trade be-
tween Portland and Hong Kong nearly

his father to Hong Kong and writes very
interestingly of the manners and ways of
the Chinese passengers on shipbOard on the
voyage across the Pacific. Captain Noyes

the new bark Forest Belle, bound to Bristol,

out graduating. The bark sailed from Bris-
toll for Hong Kong and was wrecked on the
passage on a rock in the Formosa channel

Kong. where MIR. Bourne took passage with
