May 7th.—The town election waa held here Monday and passed oB quietly but as there were more ballots than voters the old officers will hold over another term.

Stafford ran for mayor aod were both elected; at least they both received more than tbe majority of ausllfied votes but Mr. Staf ford’s majority was the largest. Well, our people are satisfied and would have been satisfied if it had been the other way, for both tbe candidates arc good men. The Epworth League met in business session last night.

Onr base ball boys were to have played St. Mary’s College last Saturday, but refused to play because the College boys want ed the ‘‘lion’s share’’ of the re ceipts. Last year they gave oui team 60 per cent of the gate 're ceipts, this year they refused to give bnt 40 per cent of the re ceipts from onr people and other visitors that go there. That ia they wanted all the receipts from the college students, who pay one dollar for a season ticket, sU the grand stand receipts, and 60 per cent of the receipts from our people and other risitora. Our boys would have to nlre teams to go there, play on their grounds (they never give a return game,) and get a very small per cent of the total receipts, which onr boys were not willing to do. We make this statement, not in the nature of a criticism, but to set onr selves straight with the public who expected to see tbe game. Onr boys were anxious for a game, so they went over to Mountain Island and played Mr. Paricer’s team, over which they 1 won by a score of seven to one. nn. uira n uieiHua.
