Ban jar Putt First Gantt to Her Credit, Boat ing Bollatt, 6 to 3. EAR mo, doesn’t It seem nice to be all alone at the top of the list, with no one in sight that wo care a snap for oh? Well, we’re there, and there we propose to stay, as long as possible. Give us a little good weather and let liilly long’s boys alone for the rest ot it. The weather, iMomiuy morning, was de cidedly off color for ball playing, and hundreds were disappointed when it be came necessary to announce “no kjuth*. But after dinner, when two or throe rays of light peeped through the clouds, faces brightened, and as the clouds broke away people by the scores and hundreds wend d their way through the mud to the park. They wire well paid and over 1000 voices cheered the home team on to vic tory. The ground was wet and slippery when Rockland took the Held, with Phil Vlau on the rubber. Sohreeongost smote Ui first ball, but only to Vlau, who retired him at first. Veitch was sent to first on balls, stole second and wont to third on a general mixup over Wiley's throw. Batman gave Sheehan an easy fly. Ilan dihoe sent a hot one between Vlau's legs, hitting the umpire, and Veitch scored. Connor was out. Vlau to Coburn. Then Rockland hurt our feelings. Dor sey was hit. Wiley sacrificed him to sec ond. and he took third. Sheehan hit for 1 wo bags, scoring Dorsey, stole third and scored on Quinn's single, after Fitzpat rick fouled out to "Sctiree." Chestnet was out. Delaney to Butman, and Rock land led us, 2 to 1. But Rockland failed to again hurt our feelings, for she failed to again score, having nothing thereafter but one beau tiful assortment of goose eggs. Sad. sad. Indeed! We drt w blanks In the second and third, but made two In the fourth, as follows: Humiliate hit to Sheehan, who made a line stop. On recovering, he made a quick throw to Coburn, who dropped the ball. Connor sacrificed him to sec ond. Delaney filed to right field. Hans com sent one into deep center and Handi boe came home. Fogarty had a gift, went to second on McCarthy's single, while Hanscom stole home. Schrecon gost went out. Vlau to Coburn. Again in the eighth, we landed a score. Connor went to first on Murphy’s fumble of his hot grounder. He look second on Delaney's out. FItziratrick to Coburn, went to third on a similar out of Hans com. and scored on Fogarty s single to center. That made our four runs, and Rockland—alas—had but two. The game throughout was full of gin ger and kept the crowd wild with excite ment. The batting of Hanscom and Sheehan, with the catching of Sohreeon gost and the childish kicking of Wiley, were the leading features. The fielding was very clean and sharp, though two of Rockland's errors cost a run each. Our only error was by Veitch, who let a hot ground-skimmer slide through his lingers, but as he retired the man in a double play, it cost nothing. Both pitchers did good work, as the score shows. There was but little very heavy hitting and the pitchers had a good share of the fielding work, Viau assisting six men out and McCarthy three, witli one putout. The rest of the Augusta train played like clockwork and put an other hitch on the pennant lines. The score: AUGUSTA.

Veitch, Handlboe and Butman made a very pretty double play in the eighth inning. Hanseom had on his batting clothes, yesterday. Ho was four times at bat and made three hits. Vlau was at his best, yesterday, and the heavy hitters of the home team had considerable trouble in finding him. The Rockland people have no cause to feel ashamed of their team. They put up a gilt-edged article of ball, yesterday. Shn congest puts lots of ginger into a game. The way he pinebtes foul Hies is a terror to those batsmen who try “to s|>oil the good ones.” There were those who thought that Doherty’s place at third would bite hard to All again, but Delaney is playing the base aR well as It was ey«r played in this city. AtffrMia only made one Adding error, I and that dtdA't cast anything, the run ner being forced at second on the neat base hlt-und the side retired without The Augusta outfleld hud tittle to do. yesterday, but that little was done Well, l'ogarty got all the fly balls that oame that way. The only other chance w*as n pretty assist to second by Hanseom. Captain Wiley is certainly one of the finest catchers in the league, an excellent backstop and a clean, hard thrower to bases. He is a little inclined to make foolish kicks, but works the game for all there Is In It. McCarthy pitched a cool heady game. nd kept the hits well scattered. Be von with a total of eight was the best the Uockland players could do ofT bis dellv t ry, and three of these were made by .Sheehan, who played a magnificent game :.t short field for the visitors. Umpire Carpenter made bis first ap pearance In Augusta, yesterday, and his work was first class. He showed excel lent judgment on balls and strikes, and 1 opt the game moving from start to fin ish. He had few close decisions to make i .1 the buses; but those few were made promptly and fairly, both sides getting iA\ that was due them. Mr. Carpenter is much more competent umpire than was Sweeney, although the latter was far from being the worst one who ever did uty In this city. BANGOR. 6; BELFAST. 3. Queen City at Last Wins a Game by Aid ol Old Augusta Pitcher. Bangor. May 31.—But one of the two ames scheduled for here, today, be tween Bangor and Belfast were played, the morning game being declared off on account of rain. In the afternoon, how i ver, a game was played and considering the heavy condition of the Ib id It was a lirst-class one. In many respects it re minded one of old times, when the two ities supported independent teams and r*.at rivalry existed. The features of i tie game, today, wore Newell's heady work in the box and a steal home by Haves, and a double play by Collopy, McDermott and Began. In tin- sixth. Bangor was robbed of a run by Empire Bills, who called Trainer's ground drive to left, foul, when it was fair by a foot. BANGOR. AH R IB PO A K Elaek. l.f. 2 2 1 : Bel fast. t».

Miller lost con trol of the hall when the visitors took their turn, gave five bases on balls and was hit for three dour/tes and a single before he was relieved by Engel. Lewis ten netted eight runs and won the game. Kelly. Lewiston's new catcher, showed up poorly. Burrill. Lewiston's left fielder, played a remarkable game. Both teams were handicapped by wet grounds.

The Bates-Tufts game at Lewiston was postponed, on account of wet grounds. It’s a rather novel experience to find Augusta leading a base ball league; but we are beginning to feel quite at heme there. Andy Lawson, brother of "Al” Law son, manager of the North Adams team, has secured control of the new Lawrence base ball team and will open the season. June 16 at Glen Forest, a suburb of Lawrence, which has one of the finest inclosed grounds In the state. The Newport, R. I., correspondent of the Boston Herald har- the following pleasant word for three former Augusta favorites: "On first base is the captain of the team. M. J. Kelley, who was the first baseman of the Augusta team last season. He is a sure catch, and a good hitter. Bean, at short, is the Cambridge boy who played in Augusta last season. He is a little fellow but no is a hall player sill over. He can fneo the hottest balls in a way that is marvellous. In left is "Dave” Pickett, the Brookline boy, who is a good fielder and hitter." MEMORIAL DAY (Continued from page 1.) veteran* of '«1 anti ’65, pnd that por trayed In the dally life of every true American citizen. Where the ltornan Holdler fought to gain personal glory and renown, you. fought that right might prevail. Where he fought that he might extend hi* terri tory and Increase his wealth, you fought, that you might extend the rights and privileges of your brother man. Which tho nobler cause? Which has met with success and been the most worthy of a place in history? This (4 lies lion need* but to be asked to he answered. Horn* was founded, It Increased- Its wealth and power, only from il selfish motive and with a selfish purpose, and as Its morn ing star of fame and success rose higher and higher, the underlying vices were gnawing at Its very vitals, and when It became so corrupted and contaminated with evil and vice that It could exist no longer, it fell. It fell because the under* lying principles which governed It were selfish motives. They were Inspired in their conquests by the desire for personal fame; their motto was self-aggrandlz* ment and the furtherance of their possessions. To me. the contrast Is marked. This nation was founded upon the principles of right, justice and equality of man kind. We. as a nation, have adhered to those principles in every reaped; all that Is low and vile and debasing* is frowned upon and trodden down, ami so. when the question of slavery arose, the coun try was awakened to the fact that It was not In harmony with our nation’s prin ciples and could not and would not be tolerated.

From reading newspa per statements about Doan's Kidney Pills 1 concluded although I knew very little about them, they might do the work ascribed to them and I got a box at the Old Reliable drug store of Chas. K. Partridge. They did their work properly. From the first the pain les sened and I quit using them when I was certain it had left me-. The com pleteness of my relief is in itself a sufficient endorsement of the intrinsic value of Doan’s Kidney Pills." Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers or sent by mail on receipt of price, 50 tents per box, 6 boxes for $2.50. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, JJ. V.. sole agents for the C. S. SHIPPING NEWS.

gaitg gcrarta Journal =i-ir'———-:— AUGUSTA LOCALS. AUGUSTA MUSICAL TALENT. gtaMthinf About Hm Conctrl to Be Givtn. Next Friday. The chorus applauded, when the president, Dr. Twltchell, urged at its last meeting a more complete organiza tion for continuous work another win ter. after the festival Is over, declaring his faith in the poelbilitles of Augusta to equal any city in Maine In musical matters and the eertainity that the re sult would be good and only good to the entire city. In this connection he says: ••No one knew the wealth of musical talent In Augusta when this chorus started. We had fine singers, but no effort had been made to bring together and train them in chorus work. The public can have no idea of the benefit sueh an organization as this can be to a city. It can l>o of no pecuniary as sistance to the members and their ef forts should be backed by substantial aid from our citizens. "The wealth and volume of tone to be heard, next Friday evening at the rehearsal concert in City hall, will be a complete surprise. If a permanent organization is made and oratorio work taken up in earnest. Augusta will rank as one of the best musical cities of the State. Just now we feel the inspira tion of Prof. Chapman’s matchless en thusiasm, but, when the festival closes it will be well for the city if the work of the chorus goes on. The results ob tained during the past four months are great, indicating ability, lacking only organization and direction to become a power in the city. Mr. Philbrook is a natural leader with a high apprecia tion of music, and I doubt if anyone elsc in Maine could have secured what has been gained under his inspiring directorship. The concert, June 4. will be the first opportunity for Augusta to hear its chorus of 104 voices, led by the magnetic composer and director. Prof. W. It. Chapman, a Maine boy. who, today, is the recognized leader of the great festival of all the East, "Every lover of good music will take great pride in the singers of Augusta before this concert closes. Those who enjoy and desire to still further pro mote interest in high clttss music,should attend this concert. POLO PROGNOSTICATIONS. It's a Long Way Ahead. Bui. Auguita Will See Groat Sport. Out of season, sure enough, is polo, hut, as a Journal reporter chanced to meet Mr. Smart on the street, the thought of polo, either revived from last year or else as a bit of clairvoy ance of things to come, come to mind. “Polo?" returned Mr. Smart. “Polo will undoubtedly have a great run in Augusta—in all the Maine cities that will have teams, for that matter. For a starter, iso to speak, last season was a very successful one. The game proved its popularity here, and, when the time comes, it will all return with more added thereto. “J propose making some changes in the City hall, arrangements which will be appreciated by the patrons of the game. On the stage 1 shall have raised seats—seats, min i you, and not ‘bleachers.’ They will be raised on graded steps, and be comfortably arranged. Then, on the west side of the hall, I propose to have more seats on that same plan. Both of these will be for ladies and gentle men; while on the east side, will be the bleachers, the same as last year. “The playing surface will be con siderably widened, which will all help out.” As far as thp hall itself goes, and the rental, it may be remembered of the $1030 or.perhaps a little more than that, received from all the various sources, $7G2 was from the polo games. RECEPTION TO REV. A. S. LADD. MvIhoAist Vtilrim the Scene ol Pleasant Gathering. Last Evening. To welcome Rev. A. S. Ladd, the presiding elder of the Augusta district, the Methodist society and others, as sembled, Monday evening, in the ves tries of the Rreen Street Methodist church. It was, indeed, a pleasant affair, anu those present, including many of the younger people, heartily enjoyed meeting the genial, warm hearted gentleman, for whom the meet ing was planned. It will be interesting to know that Rev. Mr. Ladd will preach at the church in this city, Sunday, August 8. The reception, last evening, was in charge of a committee consisting of Messrs. Frank W. Kinsman, Dr. L. J Roberts, and Frank H. R.ale, v.ho Stood beside Rev. Mr. Ladd, and in troduced the guests to him. Ageneral social evening followed, with loe cream and cake, and music from Dennis' orchestra. The presiding elder was certainly warmly received, and the time of his coming to preach will !>e eagerly anticipated. Standard, reputable articles are not dear at the prices asked for them.

At tin- first glance, snow does not look Pkc a very promising material for a tire place and vet I think I am not mistaken In saying that every winter there are hundreds of tires built in fireplaces made of this substance. This is less surprising wlit'ii \ve stop to think that in the part of "America where this is done the tem perature out doors during the winter months seldom rises as high as zero, and trequently falls as low as forty or fifty degrees below. About the end of January, or when the sun again appears above the horizon, many families at the two Eskimo villages near Point Harrow, in Alaska, leave their winter houses and travel inland seven y 11vo or one hundred miles to hunt rein deer along the upper waters of the large rivers that flow into the Arctic Ocean east of tile point. Here they encamp n large comfortable snow houses usually dag out in a solid snowdrift, lake all Eskimo winter houses, these are entered by- means of a long, low tunnel: and opening out of one side of lids tunnel there is a fireplace built of snow slabs. 1 n,.ver had chance to go oul to the rivers with the deer-hunters: but one Winter there was a snow fireplace built in the Cape Smyth village, near our sta 'Tvomig man and his wife moved down from Point Harrow after winter had set In and as Ho re was no accommodation for them in ar.v of I he permanent wooden bouses"1 hev built themselves a small hut from block's of snow and roofed It over I with sailcloth. 1 made them a visit one afternoon, and found the house pretty cold and ufK'-unr"'ortable in sptt«* of the lirge stone lamp that was burning all the time The entrance tunnel was about c f, V long: at the left hand as you ?..l ami .dose I the door was the fircidaco This was alwnit two and a half feet square, and neatly built of slabs of snow.

Observances in the Memory of Our Country’s Heroes. Graves Decorated in the Morning With Parade in Afternoon. Exercises in City Hall With Oration Attended by Large Number. Monday was Memorial day—at least the day So observed, the regular date appointed falling on Sunday. Seeming ly consistent with the customary weather, there was rain, but, indeed a g( ntie rain. It was wet, just the same, but it tame down gently anil seemed as if it didn't realize it was doing any harm. There was no wind, nor were the drops so large or numerous. It just quietly, calmly rained, that is all that can he said of it. It was with much regret that the day opened so gloomily, but, .it takes more than rain to prevent the surviv ing veterans paying tribute to their honored comrades, who have passed on before, and at the appointed hour, a large number of them gathered at the hall to take part in the decoration of the graves according to the time honored custom. And those that did not take part in the decoration, were there on hand to assist in getting the wreaths to the carriages and barges, in which the members of Seth Williams Pest, C. A. It., and Henry (I. Stapl s Camp, S. of V.. were to lie taken to the cemeteries. And, during ihe morning, the rain became less and less, until by noon, the clouds had thinned away to make room tot the sun, which ap peared an hour or two later, just in time to beam down upon those who were to take part in the parade—the veterans on whom time is telling, an l whose appearance, year by year, at the parades, is becoming gradually less. But, less if they are in unmbers, their loyalty grows the more, if such be possible. At any rate, it does not loose one particle of its sincerity. 11. A. R. hall was the scene of the gathering of the members v.1 the C. A. R., and the Sons of Veterans, whe were Retailed upon the work of decoration. There were in all 800 wreaths placed on Ihe soldiers’ graves, furnished by the Post. The detachments left headquarter? early in the morning, some having to go considerable distance. The ceme teries on Winthrop hill. Saint Mary's, Forest Grove, Mt. Vernon ami Mt. Pleasant cemeteries, were visited by Commander A. A. Nichols with a de tachment consisting of Comrades L. II Hill, the assistant adjutant general of the department of Maine. G. A. It.. George A. Staples, William H. Brook?. Ethel H. Jones, the marshal of the parade, John Larrahee, John Heald, P. P. Hanson. Micheal Hickey and George A. Carpenter; and from the Sons of Veterans, Lieutenants C. W. Poor and B. A. Cony. They were taken in a barge to the cemeteries an 1 there left the emblems of their loyalty. Senior Vice Commander Howard G. Ward in charge of a detachment con sisting of Comrades M. A. Dolloff, t H. Davis and S. 15. Cross; and L slie W. Davis from the Sons of Veterans, visited the Kiveside cemetery; Junior Vice Commander John P. Brown, ac companied by Comrades Thomas M. Chase and Henry P. Cook; and Arthur A. Nichols and H. E. Leighton from the Sons of Veterans, visited Ward 4: while Officer of the I)a.v H. R. Hopkins ac companied by L. H. Tibbetts from the Sons of Veterans, visited the North Parish and Hospital grounds. Comrade Hugh Rogers, with Antes and Clarence Dearborn from the Sons, went to Bol ton hill. Each grave was adorned with a wreath and a little flag plac'd over it to wave in sunshine and in rain until another year shall come again. For the convenience of those who could not well go to their homes, a col lation was prepared in the hall, and the comrades to the number of -a gathered for dinner, all of which was under the careful direction of Quarter master Lewis B. Selbing. The parade was for med at 2 o clock, under the command of Marshal Kthel Jones. It was started promptly and to the music of the Augusta Cadet Hand passed up Water street. City Marshal H. T. Morse, mounted, led the way. followed by Patrolmen Thompson. Miron. Shea and Ward. Next came the marshal of the parad followed by his brother J. A- 3™* the chief of staff, and the other mem bers. O. N. Blaoklngton.S. A. Thurston. Hr,- Leighton ana A. a. Nichols. Company F. 1-t r S M followed, in command of L.eu tenant D. W. Lovejoy. with 30 men. tenant Staples Camp. Next came Henry Nicholas. Sons of Veterans. Capt. ..n.T with about 25 members, commanding. A A The Post, with Commander A. ir fobbed, ""in these the mayor and other members of the ^y government,with the or citizens .ir. 1 eluding a number of other apprepiiat* pieces. It was directed by F. A. Dennis. The piotession marched to Monu ment park, where the respective com panies formed in order to listen to the ritualistic exercises,performed by Com mander Nichols and Chaplain E. H. Oay, assisted by the officer of the day, II. R. Hopkins. With bowed heads, the veterans witnessed the placing of the large wreaths at the base of the beau i ful monument, standing so proudly to the memory of Augusta's soldiers, who lost their lives for their country. Omitting the march to the cemeteries, the column directly proceeded to City hall. There a great number had as sembled, the main part of the hall, and the balconies beth being well tilled with an interested audience. The Indies marched in file to the front of the hall, where seals were reserved for them. The band, during the exer cises gave a number of selections, which included the "Boston C.immand ■ry" march by Carter: and "America." is an overture, and also "Loin du Ball,” and "El Capitan,” as a finale. On the platform was seated Mayor Choate, with Mr. Lovejoy. On either ■side were those who were to take part and others, including Rev. W. F. Liv ingston, Rev. J. M. Wyman, Rev. J. S. Williamson, Rev. Father C. W. Doh erty, Ethel II. Junes, C. H. Hichhnrn, (’apt. Thomas Clark. Commander Niehols, 1.. li. Hill, and Chaplain E. 11. Clay. Mayor Choate presided in his usual dignified and easy manner, first in troducing Rev. J. M. Wyman, who gave the invocation. The general ei ders from National headquarters were nail hy Adjutant Thomas Clark, fol low* *1 hy loud applause. Mayor Choate, previous to the intro duction of the orator of the day, spoke a few words on the significance and solemnity of the day. He said in part: "Another year has passed, and again we are gathered together in memory of our country’s heroes, who have gone on before us. From time immemorial I the nations of the world have set a day apart for honoring those who fought in defence of their country, that he, who i, reives his death fighting for it, shall be held forever in the highes honor. I Paying t'his tribute to our dead, is not a I law written on the statute books of our country. Hut a custom Ixjrn of Jove, humanity and justice." As "Mr. Lovejoy’s name was present ed, tit** audience applauded, and the oration which follow* d was given in an earnest, able manner, which was up-J predated hy all present, and given1 hearty applause that was very signifi cant. Mr. Lovejoy’s oration was an able one, and was finely delivered. After the applause, the audience j, lined in singing "America,” this coun try’s best loved of all patriotic songs. Tlie lien* diction followed, given hy Rev. W. 1*. Livingston. The exercises losed with music from the band. The following is Mr. Lovejoy's ad- I dress, in part: In Memoriam. Your Honor the Mayor, Veterans. Friends, Countrymen: With utmost pleasure I offer my hum- bl«* services for this glorious duty. Jo-, day is your day. veterans, and we are all pilgrims to .the mausoleum of a nation s honored dead.

Something About Its History Highly Re garded by Those Who Know. Tile following item from the I.owis ton Journal will bo read with interest by Augusta people, especially by those, who are well acquainted with the cir c umstanees connected with the build ing of the Augusta soldiers' monument, w hich so gracefully stands in Monu ment park, for gracefully it does stand, inanimate and motionless, if it is: An Auburn man who speaks with au thority says that the Uodwell Company were building a soldiers’ monument for Augusta at the same time they were at work on the Auburn monument. Th Augusta monument cost $10,000 and the Auburn monument $4000. Hut before the lettering was put on either of them, the Augusta committee sent word that they would he very $i*l to swap even. Hut we didn’t swap.’’ says the An hui n man. “We had a good thing and we knew it. and I have yet to find th man who doesn’t think we did a got d job.” _• There is really some mistake, some v, hero. The Auburn man, who, per haps, speaks with authority enough. to be complimented that he named in nearly thiy cornet cost of the Au gusta monument, which was, as a mat ter of fact, between $10,000 and $11,000, ncluding everything. In regard to the part about the Au gusta committee having “sent word Lhat they would be very glad to swap ^ven,” in the connection above noted, a Journal reporter, to find if that really he so, called, Monday, upon Mr. Joseph A. Homan, who was one of the com mittee on the Augusta-monument. On having his attention -call, d to the re marks made by the Auburn man looted he said: "That is a surprising statement, for. jf all of the many expressions I have heard concerning our soldiers' monu ment, I know of none that has not been >f unqualified admiration. Since its erection, several persons have said that it was superior in workmanship and Jesign to any that they had seen in the country, and I speak of these be cause they were In a position to have had the opportunity of comparison, having seen many of the finest monu ments in the country. Some of these persons have gone so far as to say that it is the finest they have seen, regaid k ss of cost. There certainly is. in my opinion, nothing to compare with it in Maine. “As for my part. 1 feel a deep at tachment for it. and to me it has a beauty which is unsurpassed in any I have seen. With its surroundings, it certainly is a magnificent piece <f stonework.” i "In speaking of this committee, 1 would have you understand that I was one of [bree. Gen.

"With what companies was the work contracted?” was ask' d. "With the Hallowed Granite Company, and the wed known bronze works in New York, of which Morris Powers is the pro prietor." "Have you ever seen the Auburn monu ment. to which reference is made by the Auburn man?" I have neither seen it. nor. have I ever hoard of it." This last statement, coming from one of tin* commit! e«* on tin* monument, would indicate that there has evidently been some mistake on the part of the "Auburn man of authority." Th- Augusta Soldiers’ monument must be seen to be appreciated. It stands on a pedestal, a shajMdy corumn of a beau tiful texture ot stone that speaks of a sternest* borne of truth and justice, and honor. This pillar supports a figure rep resenting patriotism. It is of bronze, as are the tablets placed at the base of tin pillar. The entire structure peaks of national love, and is an inspiration to any man or woman who thoughtfully gaze upon it. It is completely above any comparison, when it is really considered in its pereon adtv for it has personality, as it ha; yrace—and is, indeed, sublime. Funeral of Joseph M. Wight.
