mers she is still coltish and would be taken

Newman, rs he sat in his canvas covered

One of the arches erected for the tourna-
ment at Bar Harbor. fell Wednesday, as
Hon. James G. Blaine was driving under it.

ened animal still until Mr.. Blaine could be
rescued from his dangerous position.
1t is suggested that it is not necessary for
trains to stop at this station, as large por-
ton of the passengers are so fleet of foot that
they can overtake a rapidly moving train
with ease. Yesterday morning Jewetts tram
had large train of followers in the
rear 1t had just rolled by the Oak street
steps when gentleman of ponderous weight
and muscular development started for the
moving cars from the street in front of the
post office. He proved to be swift of foot
and plunged up the incline across Oak
street at race-horse pace. He ssc-
rear platform opposite the freight Office and,
putting and exhausted crawled up the steps.
Following Immediately after him came
small gentleman who had "legged" his way
with rapidity from the passenger depot steps.
He scrambled aboard the train and nervously
wiped his brow. But the champion runner
of the morning was a gentleman connected
with sanitary matters at Bar Harbor. He
shook hands with a medical man on the
depot platform at about the time the two
gentlemen mentioned above had reached
their goal Our health friend, a short thick
set gentleman of powerful physique,
displayed racing qualities which would
be an honor to a professional. He darted
across the platform with the agility of fox.
But the train was moving rather fast and the
race between man and steam was for a while
doubtful one. But gait and muscle won,
and the gentleman, after throwing awav a
book which he carried, succeeded in over
hauling the rear car at the upper end of the
freight house and in tired condition
was pulled aboard by brakeman. Although
our friend is an advocate of exercise for the
health he would hardly favor such violent
action as this three times a day.
