game decided in the national amateur Class
A 1S2 balkline billiard championship at The

arc left as the survivors of that triumvirate
Mayer clevcrly put his strategic powers
TO the test IN the game yesterday, the six
teenth Of the tournament series, and ne
guessed so well and welded cue so skilfully
that Poggcnburg soon fell behind. BY
pounding the balls around the table for all
sorts of cushion carroms Mayer completely
broke the nursing stroke of the Lieder-
kranz player. When PoEgcnburg began TO
put out the zero sign every time he came
to the table his ardent admirers knew that
the end was only a question of how long
Mayer would continue at the open table
STYLE of game 1t was therefore rather a
drcary session, for Mayer took no chancc1
and finished up in his forty-hfth inning with
an average of i0-i5. and high runs of q,

average of 541-44, with high runs of %.

CONDUCT OF JUDGE HANFoRD.
Correspondent Remembers Similar In
cident in Silver Campaign.

Editor kennebec Journal:
Much is being published of late con-
corning a Congressional investigation
going on at Seattle, Wash, of the
conduct of U. S. Judge Hanford. A let
ter of his has been published in which
he declined to appoint a certain Demo-
crat because of his politics. This re-
minds the writer of a similar occur
renee during or just after the Silver
campaign of many years ago, while
connected with a Seattle paper. A Sill
Yer Republican was urged for a GER
tain appointment-postm of n
country town, If | remember Alright.
Judge Hanford wrote much the same
kind of letter which has recently been
given to the public, in which he stated
that he thought it unsafe to appoint a
man who believed in dishonest
money to a position of trust. so he
appointed a good Republican" The
joke of the which has never
appeared in prints that the Judges
appointee turned out an embeZzler
within the year after his appointment
not because he was a Republican.
but just to show that the Judges rea-
sons for refusing an appointment were
not we'll founded. o. NJ. NJ.
