Fires of the Fourth

About eleven O'Clock on Friday
evening a small fire was discovered
on the roof of the store on Water and
Russell streets, owned by A. E. Bis
son and G. E. Young and occupied by
A. E. Bison & Son, for their boot and
shoe business. Under instruction
from Chief of Police, F. G. Dunlap, a
guard was kept over the signal box at
the postoffice, to prevent ringing in a
general alarm, and the fire was put
out with a chemical extinguisher
which was obtained at the Fire De-
partment building on Island avenue.
Saturday evening some one tele-
phoned TO the station from the vici-
nifty of the Fair Grounds, stating
there was fire In the Coburn woods
department call of ten blasts was
rung in and the entire force sent TO
the section named. TWAS found that
the report as given over the tel
ephone was not entirely correct.
There was lively blaze in the grass
of field between the road and the
woods, but the fire had not spread to
the wooded area. The department
was able to confine it to this field and
soon extinguished it.
We have been without rain of any
amount for weeks and everything is
dry and ready to burst into flame ON
the slightest provocation. 1t may be
considered fortunate that we nave
passed the period of explosives and
fireworks without some kind of con-
Migration.

Vaudeville at Boston Theatre.

For the second week OF vaude lie
on large scale, inaugurated at the
Boston Theatre by Mr.. B. F. Keith,
grand opera will be presented on a
scale hitherto believed impossible in
vaudeville, and it should prove even
more attractive than the mammoth
program presented the previous week,
which included besides long list of
star vaudeville acts, an entire play.
For this week the Romary Opera
Company, prese nting Gounod s
Faust" will be- the attraction. 1t
will be presented during the week by
two sets of principals-on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday matinees and
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
evenings, the principals will be Mary
Obey as Marguerite, Geo. Natan-
son as valentine" and Marcello
Resemini as Faust" On Tuesday
Thursday and Saturday matinees and
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings, the principals will be Flor
ence Quinn as Marguerite" Ettore
Campana as "Valentine," and Luigi
ella as Faust" This is one of the
most remarkable musical organiza-
tions ever gotten together and made
a tremendous hit at Keith's last
winter. For the summer season it
has been largely augmented and
should prove one of the strongest
summer attractions ever offered.

THE MOTORCYCLE RACE.

There were three entries in the
motorcycle race, Cleber Harville,
Byron Harville and Allie Prescott, all
of Skowhegan. Two heats OF one and
one half miles each were run and the
finish was in the order of the names
as above given, the winner, riding
Reading Standard, having very much
the best of it. Nothing, either OF
flesh or metal, ever turned the track
at Fairview Park at the rate that this
machine travelled. The time of the
fastest mile, was 1.524 and one OF the
quarters was made in % seconds.
The track, after several heats OF the
trotting events had occurred, was
rough for motorcycle work and the
speed, under such circumstances, was
a great trial of the enduring qualities
of this machine. 1t stood the racket
perfectly, however, and had speed
enough to make much better time,
the limit being set at the point where
the rider could keep his wheel from
rushing against the outside fence.
THE CARATUNKs WIN.
1t seems to take horse race to draw
the crowd and when they get there a
good share of them desert the track
for the baseball game. Not half the
people in attendance chose to watch
the diamond but the crowd who gave
exclusive attention to the three cor
nered contest between the Skowhe-
gan, Caratunks and Norridgewocks,
numbered somewhere about a thous-
and people. The game between the
first two clubs named was somewhat
tame. The home team were badly
outplayed and it was soon evident the
only question at issue was the size OF
the score the visitors would pile up.
In this the Caratunks must have sat
isfied their most enth usiastic admirers
as their total at the end of the nine
innings was IL, their opponents hav-
ing scored but twice.
By agreement the winners of the
first match were to play the Nor
ridgewocks and this game was i'm
mediately called. This contest had
more of the elements of interest and
the result could not be foretold until
the last man was out. The Norridge-
wocks might win next time. They
certainly played good ball, but such
luck as there is in the game seemed
to be against them or their weak
plays came at time to be costly and
the score closed in favor of the Cara
turks, in numbers Of to 8. The
event Of both games was the remark
able pitching of Cavanaugh of Madi-
son, who occupied the box for the
Caratunks, as he pitched the whole
10 innings, and struck out % men.
The following is the summary of the
two games:
