last night at the Y M. c. A the Tigers
defeated the Whitmans by the score
OF to 8. The game was interesting
throughout the secore being a tie
until the last inning. when the Tigers
succeeded in putting two men over in
their half OF the inning. The teams
were well matched and ii was an even
break as to which would win. The
batting and fielding Of both teams was
very good.
The men have been practicing faith
their work to q great etxent.
The Pirates were scheduled to play
the Real Estates. but the team failed
70 show up and thereby forfeited the
game to the latter team. The Real
Estates are now tied with the Whit

played next Wednesday night. when
the Pirates VIII play the Tigers and
the Real Estates will play the Whit

Hail, royal river OF loved Maine,
With waters blue as woman's eyes,
With banks as fair rs those that curve
Along the shores of Paradise.
Hail to- the eedars bowling low
Hail 10 The dark pines by thy side.
Hail to the morning sun that tgIds e
The changing waters tiny tide.
From out his mighty hand OF love
God poured thy overlooking stream
I hatN swiftly seeks the b9undlesS deep
Like silver waters oI a dream. - e
While ripping from thy sunny banks
In many folds of mystic sheen,
The laughing meadows dance away
In beauty's robes of trailing green.
Fair cities stretch along thy shores,
Uprising. to the eircliug sky;
Tire Whirrng wheels of many mills
Make merry music as they fly
Strong bands of steel wind by thy sides
And link the town and fields of grain
The torches of the night swing out
Above the darkness and the rain.
Once all was still upon thy brink
Save little fawn that drank of thee
Or Abenaki, tall and straight
That padded DER thee to the sea.
No shot or shell disturbed thy peace
Here Nature bowed her knee to God
For on these shores of living green
The white man never yet had trod
Hush-dost thou hear the dipping oar
Feel strange bateaux upon thy breast?
