When man hands an editor an article
for publication, and asks him to ''fx it up"
because he "wrote it in . hurry" and
.hadn't time to revise it," you may know
that he commenced the article directly after
supper, and wrestled with it until midnight,
rewriting it fourteen times, destroyed a
quire Of foolscap, and blessed" his pen
every two min utes. That's the way they
generally write an article when they are
.'in Q hurry" and have ''no time 70 revise
it.'--Norris.oscn EerG!G.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It is a source of deep regret to
many and a shame to these who cause it, that
innocent people oftentimes suffer, though tenn
oprarily, through the hasty decision of others IN
laying charges-making supposition ground
for facts. The accused who is known still stands
we'll among his friends, but large amount of
iniury NAV be done for the time by the hasty
and unyse action of misjudging people. Ev-
cry department of life has its incumbent who is
subject to evil criticism. But we do not believe
in the employment of such means for the fur fur
therance of any object or the aId OF any moral
cause. If temperance speakers have run cut
for want of new remarks and are Obliged to
pick up drunken incidents to dwell upon, or
worse still, to draw suggestions and relate 1S1
them for facts they had as well not talk. Inc

The new trottiog park and fair grounds at
| Deering present busy scene just at present,
as in fact it has for some time past. The finish
ing touches are being put on the track, and in
few days it will be hard and nice The fence
around the grounds is about completed. A
large force of men are employed at present on
the stables for the horses to be exhibited at tho
coming state fair. There will be upwards of
800 stalls and many of them will be finished
as nice as any private stable. About twenty OF
the latter class will be for the exclusive use OF
trotting horses A large number of pens are
in process of erection for neat stock at the fair.
The grading of the grounds within the track
is nearly completed, and the grounds for the
Resolutes is already for the club The grand
stand is to be one of the finest buildings OF the
kind in the county. The first story is for the
Judges, while the second is arranged for re-
porters. This room will be supplied with tables
and chairs, and will afford every facility for
making reports of the races.
Opposite the grand stand is a large building
open in front for the accommodation OF specta-
tors The lower story will seat upwards of 1000
persons The second story is divided into pri-
vate boxes for families, while the basement is
to be used for restaurant. On either side OF
the building there will be open seats 100 feet in
length, thus giving ample accommodation to
ALL To the right of the grand stand is build
ing for the use of the officers of the Maine
State Fair. 1t will be large and roomy, and
will afford an excellent place for tle Secretary
and his assistants at the time of the fair.

The wa er supply for the grounds is excellent.
Near the main entrance is large reservoir OF

water to different parts of the grounds. Ihe

When the grounds adjacent are completed this
will be a very inviting spot to visit.
Mr.. George f. Hitchings, the well known
contractor, is giving the work his personal SUI
pervision, which is sufficient guarantee that it
will be done in thorough manner. Mr.. Hen.
nv Milliken is also deeply interested in the
work 1t is thought that the track will be hard
enough for trotting next week, but as it will
not be used for that purpose until the lnaugu-
raj meeting in July, it will be in fine condition
at that time. 1t is open at all times for driv-
ing, and parties who are out on pleasure VIII
find it very pleasant drive A number OF
fast nags have entered for the coming trot on
this park the 9Th, 9th, 9TH and Sth OF July.
Everything about the grounds has an air OF du-
rability, and nothing is done on cheap plan.
The buildings and the stables are as strong and
substantial as though built for private per- !
son.
In concluding, we can say that the work is
with surprising rapidity, and per-
sons who have not visited the grounds within
week or two would be surprised to observe the |
progress made.

CHnDREN's CENTENNIAL PARTY.--The
Chldren's Centennial Party at City Hail yes
terday was very successful in every respect. A
large number of children were present, and the
ma ority of them in costume. The characters
represented were about the same as those OF
the Tea Party. The affair was under the
charge of the ladies of the Portland Centennial
Committee, which accounts for the success.
At little past three o'clock the reception
took place. Ether Shepey personated George
Washington, and Miss Ida Merrill Martha
Washington. Both of them bore the honors
most becomingly.
After nearly the entire company had been
presented, the children had a social dance under
the direction of Mr.. j. w. Raymond. When
the children had danced to their satisfaction,
some of the ladies formed on the floor and
practiced the minuet for a short time.
Refreshments were served in Reception Hall,
and centennial cups and medals we've for sale
on the stage. The afternoon was much enjoyed
by all present, and good sum was taken at the
door to swell the Centennial. The committee
will realize $1,000 from the Tea Party Monday

MUTUAL RELIEF AssoCIATIoN.-Th Ma'
tual Relief Association held a meeting last
evening at the Common Council room to per-
feet an organization. The following officers
were elected President, DR.. G. Morse; Vice
President, BENZ. Kingsbury, IT,; Secretary,
L. G, Jordan; Treasurer, M. n. Rich; Direc-
tors, George A. Harmon, G. w. Belknap, &.
Dana, jr., Cyrus NOVEL; and f. A. Walden
A discussion then took place as to whether
the officers could be legally sworn into office, as
their applications to become members had not
been acted upon. After some time spent in
arguing the case pro and con, it was voted that
the board of directors examine the list OF
applicants to the Society and notify such as are
eligible, to meet the last Friday in the month.
BY that means it was thought they would be
properly organized. Thirty-one applications
Tor membership were presented.
