Base Ball.
NORWAY 2; SOUTH PARIS /.


Another fine game Of ball was played
at the fair grounds Saturday and the
good crowd considering the weather,
were 30 much interested In the game
that they did not seem to mind the rain
that fell continually during the last part
of the contest. Regardless OF the try
ing conditions under which the game
was play ed, both teams put up splendid
article of ball, and we're 80 evenly match
ed that no one will be able to pick q
winner when they play again.
The Norway team used the same line
up as they used against West Paris last
week, while South Paris was strengthen.
ed by Thayer of Auburn, q catcher, and
Farnum and Rowe of the West Paris
team, infielders, all of whom played good
ball and added much strength to the
team.
Up to the last half of the ninth in
ming the Paris team bad played q little
better ball of the two, and had scored
one run in the sixth inning on two errors
by Perkins and Thayer's hit, and this
was the only run made by either team,
until Norway scored two in their last
turn at the bat and won the game. There
was as little choice in the work OF the
two pitchers as there was in the play OF
the two teams in other departments, and
both have reason to be proud of their
work. Much sympathy was expressed
for Rich because of bis weakening in the
last inning, but the wet ball, the fact
Norway had up their best batters, the
poor work of Nevers at this point and
Rich's great desire to win,' made him
over-anxious and he lost hir control and
with it the game.
While, Of course, Paris would have
liked to have won the game, they feel
that their team is the equal of Norway
and game between the two on pleas
ant day would be very interesting. This
game was clearly played by both sides
but the work of Nevers left bad taste
in the mouth of some of the fans here,
who expressed themselves quite fore
iably after the game.
The feature play of the game was a
fine throw by Shaw in the fourth inning
which caught man at the plate and
completed fine double play.

Derward Fl. Beal, merchant at East

The body of Arthur Long of Lowell

For the forenoon service the sermon
was by Rev. T. e. Potterton, D. D., OF
Brooklyn, N. Y, who gave an inspiring
talk from the text, ~ am come thai
they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly."
In the afternoon the sermon was by
Rev. G. A. Knickerbocker of Arlington,
Mass, who supplies at Paris Hill during
the summer, from the text, "For to me
to live is Christ, and to die is gain" Il
was one of Mr.. Knickerbocker's most
powerful efforts, and held the audience
strongly with its eloquence and inspira

Other ministers who took part in the
services were Rev. Frank Mansfield o
Bethel, Rev. E. W. Webber of Rumford
and Rev. F. E. Barton of Waterville, fo
number of years pastor at Bethel, ant
later resident there while acting a
state superintendent of the church.
The singing was by the congregation

Seba Smiths Birthplace.

see that Bryant's "A New Library Of
Poetry and Song" gives Turner as the
birthplace of Seba Smith. That is an
error, is it not? He Is generally spoken
of as having been born in Buckfield, but
1 suppose that, strictly speaking, could
be called incorrect, as there was no town
of that name at the time of his birth, be
having been born on Sept. IA, 1902, and
Buckfield not having been incorporated
till March 16, 1893. Was any part OF
Buckfield once part of Turner, and, II
