at Union Hall, Searsport, Wednesday, August
18th, before large audience. Many promi-

received frequent applause during his address
and those who followed the governor closely
We're not surprised that he captured the Re-
publican nomination for governor in 1908.

in 1903, and has since played with great and
increasing success in almost every important
American city from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast. During this period three protracted
tours to the Pacific coast have been made by
these four young women. Among the hun
dreds of colleges and clubs for which this
unique organization has played with great sue
cess may be mentioned Harvard Yale, Prince
ton and Oberlin Universities, State University
of Illinois, State University of Iowa and others,
The Barnard Club, New York, Thursday Club,
> New York, Harvard Musical Association Bos-
ton, The Amateur Musical Club, Chicago and
others too numerous to mention. The New
York Tribune says: 1.-THE Olive Mead Quartet
need ask no consideration on account of the
sex of its members. The ladies are musicians,
keen and correct of ear. intelligent, panstak-
ing, reverentia. No local quartet for years
has played with such purity of information,
such clarity in the voices and such genuine
musical feeling as did these four young women
in the slow movement of the Haydn quartet
/ BASE BALL. A team from Northern Maine
Junction played the Searsport Tigers in Sears
port last Saturday afternoon and won by a
score of to 0. 1t was the first defeat of the
Tigers this season. The visitors have won
eight of the twelve games played. The game
was not so one-sided as the score would show,
for the Searsport pitcher struck out thirteen
men, while Donovan for Northern Maine struck
out SIX Some sharp fielding stunts abounded,
Brown doing many circus stunts while R. Col
cord and S. Trundy carried off the fielding hon
ors for the Tigers. Donovan pitched heady
game and his support was perfect He allowed
only two hits and only two of the Tigers reach
ed third base. The score:
NORTHERN MAINE JUNCTION.
