several miles of new fence, to add to our
rolling stock, property in locomotives and
passenger cars, which represents a value of
fourteen thousand four hundred and forty
six dollars and twenty four cents. We have
also paid the interest on that portion of the
bonded debt of the company, which bears
seven per cent interest, and constitutes an
annual payment of twenty-four thousand
five hundred dollars. The floating debt of
the company during the year has not in
creased over the amount expended for new
rolling stock. If the receipts of the road
have not been what we expected year ago,
it has been in consequence of the general de-
preston of railroad business and therefore
we have no good reason for complaint.
In consequence of the above reasons and
for other causes the directors have adopted
rigid rule of economy. We have as far as
practicable reduced the running expenses of
the trains and have also made material reduc-
tons in wages and salaries, and we think no
company presents a better outlook in this re-
spect. We trust by pursuing the same rigid
economy, and by using every effort to bring
our route into public notice, we shall secure
the large business that legitimately belongs
to us and still farther strengthened by an
abiding faith, that there are elements in our
enterprise which defy competition, we feel
assured that it will be the province of some
future board of directors to make this one OF
the leading railroads in New England.
Per order of the Directors,
FREDERICK Robe, Vice President

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-About eight o'clock
Tuesday evening, while officer Miles was quiet
ing disturbance on Washington street, he
was shot at by some one in the crowd. The
ball passed his head and struck young mulat
to woman, named Mary Henry, in the side, in
ficting a dangerous wound. The ball could
not be found, and it is feared that it will prove
fatal. The officers have arrested young col
ored man, named Thomas Reed, for the deed,
and as he has often threatened the officer it is
thought that he is the guilty man. He denies
all knowledge of the affair and says that he
was trying to separate two men who were fight
ing when he heard the shot fred. He will be
held until the matter is thoroughly investi.
gated.

BASE BALL.-The first of series of games
between the Resolutes of this city, and the An
droscoggins of Lewiston, was played yesterday
afternoon at Presumpscot Park, and resulted
in sad defeat for the home club. Although
the weather was anything but comfortable. a
good crowd, mostly from Lewiston, gathered
on the grounds The game promised to be an
exciting one, but proved to be the most stupid
affair of the season. The Resolutes went to
the bat first but only got one run, while the
Androscoggins got two on the first and five on
the second inning. The game was won by the
splendid batting of the Androscoggins, and the
large number of errors made by the Resolutes.
Towards the close of the game the crowd lost
their interest as the Resolutes were no. trying
to play. They must remember that they can
not rely upon their reputation alone, as it can't
help them bit when on the diamond" The
PRESS Nine are considering the subject of chal-
longing the Resolutes to play them Saturday
afternoon. A happier club was never seen
than the Lewiston fellows were at the close of
the game. They now claim the championship
of the state.

A large crowd of people from the towns about
Cumberlandswere present at the Fair ground
yesterday. The number of carriages present
was very large, and the large number who brav-
ed the chilling east wind to be present indicates
to some extent the number that would have
| been present had the weather been anything
| less than that suited for this latitude at the
| period of Thanksgiving, when put off till the
last Thursday of November. To say that it
was an uncomfortable day yesterday, without
any kind of word to intensity it, would be to
| do no sort of justice to decent and literal
| statement of the facts.

| morning. and were able to report on part of
| the entries in the afternoon.
The trot for the 2.4S purse, which was post

was completed during the forenoon by trottine
| one heat, which was won by Brackets Chas

Lady Mansfield was second in the heat, which
| gave her the second money. Blackbird, owned
| by Charles Clark, took the third money.

exciting and the match continued from about

First class-Eli Stone of Windham, with a
pair of oxen girting it, 10 in. pulled 1876 lbs.
