1t was a very fine spectacle, as the best horses
and the best thoroughbred stock in the State
were present and in line.
The pulling of oxen followed and a large
crowd was interested in this exhibition where
the skilful exhorter o. oxen melted the seven
feet bovines to start immense loads of stone
The exhibition of matched horses on the track
came next and the men who love the horse ex-
claimed, maine is getting to beat the country
for fine horses" After this there was plow-
ing match and promiscuous driving on the
track.
At the park this afternoon there was an i'm
mense crowd, third larger than yesterday and
much larger than any two last year. The
weather was so cold that the crowd was obliged
to move about to keep warm.

tunity to show their appreciation of the hospi-
talites they have received from the hands of
their Biddeford friends.

THE SUBSCRIPTION To BATES COLLEGE,
MANY of our citizens are intending to be pres
emf at the Anniversaries of the Free Baptist
National Societies, to be held at Farmineton
N r.. Oct. eth. Sth and 9th. The first day
has been especially set apart for the considera-
ton of the generous conditional subscription of
BENJAMIN E. Bates. ESQ.,, to the fund of Bates
College.
II will be remembered that Mr.. Bates, in
February last, subscribed $780, GOO on condition
that other friends of the institution shall SUBJ
scribe an additional 100000. At the last Com
mencement, William b. Wood, Esq of Bos-
ton, said he would undertoke to raise $4,000 of
the hundred required, If other friends of the
College would raise $4,000. OF this remaining
sum required, about $4,000 has thus far been
subscribed, leaving $4,000 now to be raised
1t is hoped that the Free Baptist Education
Society. whose anniversary is to be hello on tue
day above named, will assume $25, 900; and the
discussions at Pennington will relate to the
expedency and importance of SO doing; and in
case that it is decided affirmatively, then as to
what measures shall be taken to raise the re-
naming $4,000, which would then he needed to
secure the generous propositions OF Mr. Wood
and Mr.. Bates.
President Cheney hopes that he may be able
to complete this grand subscription by January
lst~ and thus have the satisfaction of placing
the college on sustaining basis so lar as the
permanent fund is concerned, leaving funds for
additional buildings &C., to be obtained here
after Should the plans above suggested be
successfully carried out, the entire subscription
of Mr. Bates to the college would reach $780,,
000,-which will be a lasting monument to the
beyevolence, public spirit and forethought of
one of the founders of the manufacturing in
dustry of lewiston Journal

THE RAILROAD WAR.-The hiring of a crowd
of the worst roughs in the city by the Boston

forth very generally yesterday strong express
sions of disapprpbation. Merchants who have
hitherto been warm partisans of that road Were
very severe in their criticisms of that procedure.
1t is said on good authority that rocks were
carried into the building at the head of Smith s
Wharf, ready for use in the expected fight 1t
is also reported that the roughs were paid fifty
cents an hour, or six dollars night. Last
night crowd similar in character to tie night
before, though fewer in numbers, watched the
frog, and an engine with platform Car in front
stood on the Boston and Maine rails ready for
