CLOSING EXERCISES OF THE l4TH
GOOD WILL ASSEMBLY
Foundation Well Laid for New Series of AS
sembIies that Would Benefit the State

big Nine" The grandstand brain
work of the day was witnessed when
C. n. D. Powers, the genial musical
conductor and soloist from Brewer,
bethought himself of saving of time
and space in base running by cutting
across the diamond from first to third
and thence home. This establishes a
new precedent in baseball which, if
followed will make the national game
considerably shorter. When Captain
Bill Ferris came to the bat the fielders
backed down half a mile or SO. Bill
wisely saw their terror of him and
hunted. Porter at first and Hitch
cock behind the bat gave wonderful
exhibitions of how not to play base
ball, while Powers in right field with
his pretty blue sunbonnet became lost
amongst the daisies.
After the ball game the final match
in tennis doubles-PorterH Hinckley
against Arey-Allen was Won To- Porter
and Hinckley two sets, 6-1, 70. There
were no special. exercises, Saturday
evening.
The Assembly closed Sunday eve
ming with a song service, the conclu-
sion OF which was the singing of "Blest
Be the Tie That Binds This las
day was a disappointment OH ac-
count of the unfavorable weather
Two splendid sermons, however
we're given, one by David r. Porter
of Montclair, y. J., the other by E
NJ. Robinson OF Edgewood, N. j., made
remarkable days program, but threat
ening skies, often opening TO pour
down uoods, made the attendance
smaller by far than was hoped for. Yet
a goodly number were in their places
for the closing services of the Assem-
bly,.
These meetings have been a success
and the program has worked out tc
the entire satisfaction of the audiences
and management The only unfortu-
nate thing in the course of the
two weeks has been the weather
Scarcely a day has passed without
some rain and there have been several
days with no sun at all. The founda-
ton has been we'll laid for a new
series of Good Will Assemblies which
will be of great benefit to the county
and the State as a whole.

TRAIN WRECK ON
SK0WHEGAN ROAD
Engine and Cars Thrown
Off Track at Shawmut
No One Injured Probably Owing to the
Slow Speed at Which the Train Was
Moving.

Just as train No. H. on the Maine
Central tracks was pulling out Of
Shawmut, and about a quarter of a
mile from the station, the journal on
the engine broke and both the engine
and cars attached were derailed.
Fortunately no one was injured, al
though there were 35 passengers
aboard. Had the train been running
at full speed, however a serious catas-
trophy would have resulted without
doubt.
This train is due here at $40 and
although a special train was sent down
for the accommodation of the passen-
gers, Skowhegan was not reached until
about II o'clock.
The derailed engine and cars were
brought here during the night so that
the track was cleared before the early
morning train. There was no serious
damage done to either the engine or
the cars.
