MEETING OF OLD TIME BALL PLAYERS.
Hon. Forrest Goodwin of Skowhegan, who de-
livered the Memorial address in Searsport,
came to Belfast that evening and was here
over Friday, calling on old friends and acquain-
tances. Friday afternoon he called in at COL
burns shoe store and there met not only Au-
gustine Colburn, the proprietor, but Bert
knowlton and George l. Heating, all old time
base ball players, and they had very enjoy
able reunion. AS the seance was about to
close Charles W. Frederick, another local base
ball enthusiast and historian, dropped in. Mr..
Goodwin, who worked his way through Colby
College, played base ball during the vacations
and was second base on the Belfast team in
1886. While here he boarded at the Brooks
House. Mr.. Heating, who is the present clerk
of courts for Waldo county, is a base ball en-
cyclopedia and is said to have every game of
note at his fingers ends-or rather his tongues
end-and can not only give the scores but the
m embership of the opposing mines. These
/ base ball brothers needed no introductions, al
though Mr. Goodwin had not met some of them
for years, and an outsider can realize with
what enjoyment they must have shouldered
their bats land show'd how fields were won
Mr.. Goodwin enquired for "Mell' Marshall, a
! fellow boarder at the Brooks House, and was
forcibly reminded of the lapse of time wheI
told that MIR. Marshall had married since that
time. had a son grow up, graduate from col
lege and marry. Mr.. Goodwins Belfast
friends were sorry he could make only short
stop and hope that he will make home run in
the political game.

have nothing but commendation for the work
of Mr.. Walsh during his brief stay with US
His labors have given satisfaction to the
church and community, and it was with regret
that he severed his connection with u.s. >. Mrs
R. S. Brier of Winter Hill, Somervile, Mass

old home. Mrs. Abby Daniels of Guilford
who bought the home of George Collins, has

smithing business in the city and has gone to
Howard, R. l., to be superintendent of the
