o'clock there were a large number as
sembled for Bible school. The children

Tom Sykes gave a talk on the Re-
view lesson and Mrs. Ara w. Carroll
spoke on the graded lesson. At 1890

Smoke from forest fires in this State,
Canada and New Hampshire has COM
pletely enveloped practically every
city and town in Eastern and Western
Maine. The smoke made its first APP
pearance in the Kennebec section of
the State Tuesday morning and it
partly obscured the sun Wednesday.
That forest fires are raging in many
sections of the State is evident from
reports received from several points in
Western and Eastern Maine.
With Aroostook county sweltering
in midsummer heat fears wer ex-
pressed by lumbermen Wednesday
that forest fires soon will be doing
much damage unless there is a heavy
rainfall. A big fire has been reported
in the Allegash section, but that is be-
lieved under control.
At Bangor 1t is believed that most
of Maine like a pail today and
Wednesday, came from small forest
fires in the smoke which covered
Eastern scattered localities. Chief
Warden Buck of the Penobscot dis
trict said no fires had been reported
by his wardens and that there was
still too much snow IN. the woods to
make the situation serious. A fire at
Tunk pond was reported under control
Wednesday. Canaan and the region
near Lake Alamoosook reported woods
fires while reports of fires at Franklin,
Hernon and Corinna are said to be
unfounded.
The woods fire at Twin Mountain. n.
H, is believed to be still burning and
many towns and cities in New Hamp-
shire including Berlin, has been en-
veloped in smoke for the past two
days.
The woods fire which ragged Wednes-
day on the property of the Diamond
Match Co. on the edge of Kennebunk,
York county, is now under control
and it is not believed that further
damage will be done.
1t was learned Wednesday that there
WAS n forest fire raging near West
Kennebunk and another at the sid
ing, but these reports could not be
verified. The fire in Wells which result
ed from the destruction of farm
house Tuesday, is under control.

GARDINER HIGH
DEFEATED BY The
WATERvILLE Nine
Independents of the Upriver
City Battle for Eleven
Innings to Win

Gardiner, Me, May 20.-(SpeciaD.-
Gardiner High was defeated Wednes-
day afternoon on Quimby field by the
Waterville Independents, by a to 5
score in the best game witnessed here
this season. The game lasted II innings
before the winning run was scored
Sugar pitched the entire game for the
Gardiner High, allowing but hits
which he kept well scattered. An error
by himself and an infield error ena-
bled the visitors to tie the score in
the ninth. Up to this time Sugar was
performing like a world beaten and
allowed but five hits pto the ninth.
Everything pointed to a victory for
Gardiner.
Waterville used two pitchers, who
together allowed but five hits, but in
ability to locate the plate was SEEM
ingly he cause of w. Harriman's en-
baresssment. Gardiner appeared to be
on the verge of a rally in the 18th but
a double play, Allen to Harlow to
Niles, spoiled their chance. O'Brien,
Abe visitors, made several spectacular
catches of seemingly safe hits
Both Watcryille and Gardiner got
men on in the first, O'Brien of Gardi-
ner reaching third. The first run of
the game was made in the second by
the visitors when Allen singled and
scored on two infeld outs. Waterville
threatened again in the third when w.
Hartman and Goffing hit, but Har-
riman was run down between third
and home, nearly the entire Gardiner
team participating before he was out.
In the fourth the visitors added a
brace of tallies. A. Brisk muffed B.
Harriman's fly. Allen was passed and
Blackington advanced both men by
| q sacrifice. O'Brien then singled, scor-
| ing both.
Gardiner scored twice in the fifth
