Fryeburg Academy.

The public will be interested to know thai
this old institution, of which Daniel Webster
was once principal and whence host of stu
dents of both sexes have gone forth to honor
able, and many to distinguished careers is soon
to reopen. 1t seems that the board of trustees
have determined to make it q first class fitting
school for young men and young ladies desl-
iug to enter college. The boards of BoWdoin
college have taken special action, encouraging
such an effort, as We learn, and of course it
must be greatly to the advantage of student
wishing to enter there to receive his fitting at
this academy. The same systematic and thor
ough drill will prepare young ladies to enter
with the utmost facility at either Wellesley
or Vassar.
The other departments of the institution will
afford ample facilities for instruction in what
ever branches it is desired to pursue This is
as it should be. This new departure, under SO
competent corps Of instructors, we have no
doubt, will be pushed with the wisdom and
vigor that will ensure complete success. 1t
now remains for the public to hail this oppor-
tanity to revive the former prestige of this old
and famous institution By filling its halls with
pupils eager to fit themselves for the battle of
life.
The building is modern, well appointed, To-
Gated in the midst of the most enchanting nat
ural scenery, Sin village of rare culture and
intelligence, with lake and river on either side,
eloquent of aboriginal legends as well as prim-
tive customs aud bloody wars The place is
easy of access and is certainly, as universally
pronounced, "a most safe aud delightful home
and educational retreat for students of both
sexes"

A new musical society to be called the Rich
mond Choral Union was started in Richmond
Friday evening under favorable circumstances
Prot. James M. Tracey of Boston is director,
an able and efficient leader. The cantata '.The
Haymakers" was taken up and some of the
choruses rehearsed in creditable manner con-
sidering the want of any previous practice. An
endeavor will be made to form an orchestra in
connection. There is considerable musical
ability in the place, and if the prospects prove
realities we may hope for an opportunity to
have it brought out. j. W. Spaulding, E.q ,
was chosen president of the organization.
Mr. j. T. Robinson. long known in con-
nectiou with the Western Union Telegraph

PREsUMPsCoT PARK RACEs.-There will be
rare turf sport at the Presumpscot Park this
week, as look at the amusement column will
convince all. This beautiful park never looked
SO charming, the track never in such good con-
dition, as now. The entries comprise the
fastest horses in the state, few of them ever
having met before. 10 the absence of the pool
box and other gambling devices, the practice
of allowing other than the bast horse to win,
has been banished from the turf as well as the
low, rough element whose attendance is a
bane to out door sports of all kinds. The iudg-
es have been selected with great care, and the
public are assured that the races will be called
promptly at the advertised time, and tedious
delays in starting avoided. The opening race
of Tuesday will be one of unusual interest," the
contest being between six of the fastest
horses in Maine. either and all of them with .
record ranging from 2.29 to 231. This race
will indeed be "battle of the giants" The
grand stand, affording a complete view of the
track, Is free to all.
