Roller Skating.

A large and fashionable audience filled this
spacious place of entertainment last evening.
The attractions produced on this occasion
proved to be very entertaining, and delighted
the large audience present. The gentlemen
distinguished themselves in looking to the
wants of the fair sex, and deserve great credit
for the manner in which they displayed their
ability. The floor was under the management
OF 1.-THE following gentlemen: e. Doyle, III.
Merriweatfe r, George Barrows VIM. SWEET,
e. Davis, Frank Barnard, Ralph Perry. Dur
ing general skating Chambers Band of fif.
teen pieces discoursed excellent music, and
gave the satisfaction which it always does on
such occasions The feature of the evening
entertainment was the exhibition of fancy and
trick skating of Mr.. g. B. Whitney, manager
of the Lynn rink. Mr.. Whitney is skater
who ranks among the finest in the country,
and last evening proved it. His exhibi ion
vas made up of Fdifficult movements that re-
CURED nerve and agility to execute them, but
ia Mr. Whitney we saw one who could exc
cute them with the greatest ease. His skating
showed that study and practice was the main
qualities required to make one perfect. In all
III WAS uno general opinion OF bnOso DleSenb tnat
the exhibition was the finest ever seen in this
city, and one which will leave behind good
impression of this accomplished skater.
Next Tuesday evening potato race will be
introduced, which is a new and very amusing
attraction. Prizes will be offered which viii
induce many to participate.
This afternoon the High School girls will
have benefit.

The Longfellow statue Fund.


Preparations for concert in aid of the Long
fellow statue fund are rapidly taking shape.
It is designed to celebrate the evening of the
9th OF this month, the poets birthday, by
concert which will combine the resources Of
the Haydn Association, the Rossini and Weber
clubss and some favorite soloists Each of
these musical associations is well known and
appreciated by Portland audiences to whom it
will, however, be an agreeable novelty to hear
the three organizations in one concert. Very
much interest is felt in regard to the pro-
gramme, which will shortly be made public,
and which will be the most complete aud
representative of home talent ever given in
the city,
Portland is peculiarly fortunate in its right
to honor, with the intimate affection of the
city of his birth, the poet known and beloved
by the whole world. Here are many CON
temporaries of his childhood and youth; heses.
100 ali those OF a younger generation W 10
know him as the famous poet returning with
continual faitnfulness to his early home; and
here are those yet younger who learn now at
school the songs of him who SO dearly loved
children. 1t is the privilege and duty of all
these, old and Dung, to see to it that q
memorial Of Mr.. Longfellow shall stand in his
native city where children's children may
pirate and desirable that the best efforts of our
musicians should be given to this purpose, and
that they BE- cordially supported by the public.
Every citizen of Portland should take part,
whether as performer or listener in the concert,

Railroad Notes.

There are 843 freight cars between st.
Johns and Windsor, VT, and $50 cars in the
St Alban's yard awaiting movement West
The Grand Trunk is unable to take these cars at
present from the Central Vermont road and is
able to deliver but few east-bound cars to the
latter company. A mixed train on the St
Johpsbury and Lake Champain road which
left S@anton at o'clock Monday morning was
at East Fairfield Monday night, off the track
The wesl-bound train had not then passed
Hyue Park. No train had been over the E.
sex division of the Central Vermont from st.
Johns 10 Waterloo. Canada. An engine and
snow pillow are off the track and block the prs
sage of trains between those stations. Cars on
side tracks in many places are ice-bound and
can only be released by the vigorous applica-
ton OF pick and axe.
1t is announced that the arrangements
which have so long been under way, looking
coward extending the Lamoille Valley Exten-
ion from Swanton, Vermont, to Rouse's
Point, have been completed aud the necessary
means for its building secured. At Rouse's
Point connection will be made with the Og-
densburg Railroad forming a through line
or all rail passenger and freight business to
the Canadas Northern New England aud the
East. This road will probably be operated by
me bt. JOHbSuuTy anu Ldk6 Ondmflal Rail-
road or the OgdeDSburg and Lake Champlsin,
and bridge charge will be made sufficient 10
pay all expense of operating and maintaining
the same. The opening OF this route will make
shorter rail connection for the Vanderbilt
lines than any now in force to the points men
ton. 1t is expected that the new connection
will be completed next August.
The Massachusetts committee ON railroads
heard Friday the petition of the Worcester
and Nashua Railroad Company for leave to
unite with the Nashua and Rochester Railroad
Company and form one corporation, to be
known as the Worcester, Nashua and Roch
esrer Railroad Company. F. p Goulding,
Esq, of Worcester, stated that the two lines
sre continuous from Worcester, Mas, to
Rochester, N. H.; that the former leases the
latter and owns all the rolling stock with
which it is operated; that he was snot aware Of
any opposition to the scheme, the two being
now practically one corporation.
