H0BsE NOTES.

The widening OF the Coney Island road TO one hun
dred feet so long talked of, Is something that the
riders on that road very much desire to see accom-
plished. The driving on that thoroughfare has In
creased 80 much Of late that the limits Of the road
are entirely too narrow for the amount Of travel
over II. Safety as well comfort are sacrificed dur
ing some portion OF the day when trOIers get punched
together In contending for the lead. The widen
ing OF this road has become an actual necessity and
Is far more needful improvement than the
projected new boulevard to run almost
parallel with 1t from the Park down to the
beach. To first widen the old road to suitable al.
mensions, so as 10 meet present requirements, and
seem to be the correct plan as far as the conve-
nicnce OF the driving public Is concerned.
Mr.. Campbells bay gelding Jim has lately re re.
turned from the country and appears to be in nne
spirits and Iooser than ever. Gcttlng 6H q forty
clip seems to be good fun to him.
Mr.. George Hall can be seen almost daily with one
or other OF his stable OF tr0tters, sometimes with
the nag tail team, but more frequently with one OF
makes fast one SINGLE and If he would break bet
ter could tackle uythlng on the road.
Mr.. Hamilton drives a bay gedlng, whose speed
and style OF going stamp him unmistakaby as u
trOtter. Last spring this horse was quite a puer
but by good management he now trots splendidly
Mr.. Skidmore Petit drives an excellent road
horse, one tha with record OF near thirty, can go
every day and stn beat many with light rigs called
trOtters.
Since Mountain Boy has been placed In Phfer's
hands fresh hopes are entertained OF his future per-
f0rmances. Many horsemen rotain great faith in
the ability OF this horse and attribute his falling OF
to an unfortunate course Of handling. The rushing
system appears NOT to have suited him.
Draco Prince takes his regular morning jog on the
Coney Island road, and Is looking remarkably fine.
He Is entered for the Boston races.
Dan Pffer's and Hiram Howe's stables are full OF
horses both having as many as they can accom-
mOdate.
Mr.. Samuel Jackson has also quite string under
his care. His horse Bep is warm one for the '30
purse at Prospect Park on Thursday next
Mr. Bass little chestnut mare Is Of the prettiest
little trotters to break, skip and run right into tOt
again that can be found on the road. She can
none can beat her ut changing her gait and catching
again without losing ground. One OF the most i'm.
pOrtant points IN trotter, when driven over his
speed, is to break good; and how often we see the
best horse unable TO keep the lead, simply from
handiiy.

UNION COURSE, L. !.

Postponement Of the Trot Between American
Girl, George Palmer and George Wilkes
The weather OF the last few days has broken up
the programme Of the meeting at the Union Course.
The trot Of Friday for horses that beat 2:3o
was postponed over to Monday next, and the great
race announced for yesterday between American
Girl George Palmer and George Wilkes has been
postponed until Tuesday. This Is unfortunate, as
the first day Of the meeting at the Prospect rark
events are announced one being double team race
between three Of our fastest teams. 1t would be
advisable under the circumstances II II were
possible for the managers Of the Prospect Park
Course to make their first days tr0ting on Wednes-
day, as hundreds OF people would like to witness
both Of these great trOtting events.

OCEAN COMMUNICAT TION WITH
4TCTST1

1t has long been the earnest desire of the
people of Augusta and the towns that center
here, that the channel of the river between
Shepherds Wharf in Hallowell and this city,
should be so improved as to allow the ocean
steamers to make this place, which is the ma
tural head of navigation on the Kenncbec,
the northern terminus of their routes. To
this end, years ago, the city expended TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS in an attempt to widen
and deepen the channel from the Hook to Ken
nebec Wharf in Hallowen. This, however,
met with no favor from our Hallowell neigh
bors, and the Boston steamers, instead of
making their head quarters at the village of
Hallowell, or even at Augusta, have finally
yielded to the desire of our Gardiner friends
and made that city their main depot. Since
the partial failure of the first attempt, the u.
S. government have engaged to straighten
and improve the channel, so that vessels which
come to Gardiner may also proceed up to
Hallowell and Augusta. That work, though
not yet completed, as it will be, has been so
far accomplished as to admit large and
beautiful ocean steamer-the ELLA-regular-
ly at our wharves in this city. She has estab-
lished line from Augusta and all the river
towns and cities, to Portland; and pleasant
thing it is to see her arrival and departure at
our town landing on alternate days everyweek
This should be regarded as long desired tri-
umph in matter of great convenience and
advantage, not only to this city but also to the
whole region round about the Maine capital.
We think the Ella may be the means of open
ing an extensive trade between the Kennebec
and Portland. This, indeed, is one of the
great objects of the wholesale merchants of
our commercial metropolis, who are the prin-
cipal owners Of the boat. They have lines
established between this city and the princi-
pal centres of business on the coast of Maine,
as far as Machias and these lines of business
communication by steam, arc greatly increas-
ing the commercial Importance of Portland.
Surely one upon the Kennebec cannot fail to
be of great advantage to both sections of the
State.
Nature, before any railroads were built, open
ed free communication by water for Augusta
to the outward world; and though these artifi-
cial highways are of great benefit and to be
encouraged, we ought still to improve and
patronize dame natures blessings, which are
less costly and quite as pleasant as the acquire
ments of art. We hope the people of Angus
ia and those above on the river will appre-
cate the benefit of a regular communication
between this city and Portland by water, and
thus help to secure the double advantage to
be enjoyed by means both Of rail roads and
steamers, connecting us with the wide worlds
business. A kENNEBECKER.

LETTER FROM BELFAST.
July 27th, 1870

July 27th, 1870.
To the Editor of the Kenmebee Journal:
Its is no use to occupy a stickful of space
in telling you or your readers what you all
knew before in regard to the weather, so
pass over that interesting subject. But
must just say by way Of parenthesis that last
Sunday was the hottest day ever known here,
without regard to the opinion of that ubiqui-
tous parsonage, the oldest inhabitant. When
we record 95o and 970 in the shade, it is about
right for high; isn't it
Notwithstanding the high temperature which
is not conducive to GOODNESS, we have all been
in high state of excitement lately and all
about our rairoad-the Belfast & Moosehead
Lake Railroad. Some days ago the directors
reported that some 500, 900 more of available
funds were needed to finish the road in time
TO accept the terms of the contract with the
Maine Central-Nov. LIST. And the question
was, how to get itf Three public meetings
have been held and it was hoped some ar
rangement could be made with our wealthy
citizens to take stock and advance the money,
but we were unsuccessful. 1t has finally been
decided to avail ourselves of the act of 1867
which allows towns and cities to vote five per
cent. of their valuation in aid of railroads
and public meeting for the purpose will be
called in due course of law. We are bound
to finish the road on time.
The relatives OF the young lady, Miss Helen
Smith, who was reported as having committed
suicide here last week, say that she took the
arsenic for improving her complexion, and
her death was caused by an overdose. She
was 10 years old and was from Mass, on a
visit to her relatives here. 1t is a sad warn
ing to those foolish girls who are thus tamper-
ing with their health and lives.
No stir outwardly in the political pools, but
plenty Of underground work. We suffer from
an excess of republican candidates. For Sem
ators Ave; Clerk of Courts five; Commis-
sioner four. Sheriff Calderwood has no op-
ponent and will receive the nomination. Con-
vention not called yet but will come of about
the middle of August.
County Lodge Of Good Templars hold a
quarterly meeting Wednesday, Aug. 10th al
Brooks. A series of temperance meetings are
being inaugurated in this vicinity. There is
need of temperance labor here as from the in
dications it would seem that Intoxicating
LIQUOR could be obtained in almost any guam
tity.
The new Unversalist church here was dedi-
Gated last week with sermon by Rev. Mr..
Battles of Bangor. 1t is fine building, an
ornament to the place. A pastor has not yet
been settled. The Baptists are remodelins
and rebuilding their church edifice and will
have a fine building when finished. The spire,
which is of a very pretty design, has just been
raised. Yours &C.,
On.

Domrstir Nems.

Thursday morning at o'clock, the stable
belonging to Joseph Cross, New Gloucester
Centre, was discovered to be on fire. When
seen, it was enveloped in flames, and nothing
could be saved from the havoc of the flames.
Mr.. Cross house was situated but fifty feet
from the burning building, but was saved by
keeping it wet with water thrown with pals.
Another house near by was on fire several
times, but was saved. This stable was large
one, and was rented to several parties. Mr..
Joseph Bailey of the Home School, who oc-
cupied part, had twelve tons of hay, FIVE
carriages, three horses and three pigs, all de-
stroyed. His loss is about $1,000. Mr.. John
Hancock, trader, lost four carriages and a
horse; loss about $500. Caleb Haskell, three
tons of hay and COW. Loss $3.50. The
stable was worth about $1,000, and was insur-
ed for a small sum. There was no light in
the stable Tuesday evening, and the only con-
lecture as to the probable cause of the fire is
that some one must have been smoking, and
thrown down cigar carelessly in the build
ing.
