The Senior class baseball team of
Maine Central Institute came to this
city yesterday morning and had their
pictures taken. In the afternoon they
remained until 4 o'clock and the Col
by team received the benefit of a
practice game The game was all one
sided as the score indicates, but it
was just what the college team need
ed. The Colby team has been changed
somewhat in the infield and the change
was noticed. Carey who has been
playing at short was transferred to
first base and Flood, fielder, went
in short. This materially benefited the
infield as the team was very weak at
first The other positions were the
same.
Applebee and Good were both given
an opportunity in the box and both
were in fine shape. Shaw was not out
in uniform owing to a recitation. The
visitors used three pitchers, Bickford,
Gilley and Blaisdell. The latter is an
Oakland boy and his work in the box
the last part of the game was notice.
able. He pitched better ball than did
the others.
The game was limited to seven in
nings on account of the Pittsfeld boys
leaving on the AIS train. They scored
their one point in the seventh while
Colby tailed in nearly every inning.

THE COLBY CATALOGUE.
Interesting Points From the 88th
Annual Catalogue of College.

The SSth annual catalogue of
Colby College, has just been issued.
In general appearance it closely resem-
bles its immediate predecessor. except
that it has grown somewhat in size,
containing this year 105 pages.
The list of members of the faculty
contains two new names, Ellis Earle
Lawton, Phi D., associate professor of
physics and astronomy, and Charles
Emerson Fogg, A. b., instructor in
gymnastics. The summary shows a
faculty of II, and total Of 239
students. The students are dis
tributed among the different classes as
follows:
Graduate Students 1
Seniors AZ
Juniors 30
SophomOres 81
Freshmen Sc
A detailed outline of the courses for
the A. B. and B. S. degrees for the
whole period of four years, required
and elective subjects, is given on
Pages 6S-73 of the new catalogue; a
complete synopsis Of the admission re-
uuirements for both courses on Page AZ.
Among lne new COuISeS oIleIeu VIII
be noted several as follows: An adj
vanced course in debating. English
literature, history Of art, education,
drawing, freehand and mechanical,
Biblical literature, physiology and
hygiene (for members of the women ,
division). and a number of new
courses in physics.
The most marked advance in the
curriculum has been made in the de-
partment Of physics. the purpose being
to prepare students in advanced work
leading directly to the technical
courses in mechanical, civil, electrical,
sanitary, and, mining engineering, thus
making it possible for students to enter
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology or some other technical school
of the same high grade, with advanced
standing of at least the Junior year,
and complete a professional course in
two years or less This arrangement,
which will go into effect with the year
1908 1909, combines the benefits of the
broad education of the classical college
and the professional training of the
best technical school.
The library now contains 44,S67
volumes and 10000 pamphlets.
The new members of the board of
trustees are Charlie A. Jones, Esq,
Woburn, Mass; Rev. j. K. Wilson, D.
D., Portland; Frank H. Edmunds, ESQ.,,
New York; Rev. Woodman Bradbury,
D. D., Cambridge; and Hon. Beecher

How About Screening Snow Pond?

The above question was on a placard
in the window of w. w. Berrys lower
bookstore alongside of the large Sh-
pound salmon caught by James Nc
Ghee in the Massachusetts stream below
Chase's wooden mill. There have been
severa! such fish taken from the waters
of the stream, fish that have come
from the Messalonskee lake or Snow
pond as it is commonly called and the
local fishermen as well as those of the
neighboring towns think that it Is
about time to have the outlet of the
lake screened. The natural tendency of
fish of this species is to make for the
swifter water and there is no telling
how many depart from the lake. BY
placing screens at the outlets this
would he prevented and the fishing
would be much better.
