The list of horses entered for the races
in this city on Thursday and Friday of this

from complete, as eight or ten horses have
entered in the several classes, whose names
were not given. Among these is the cele-
brated Constellation gelding. Glensrm, owned
by Mr.. Drake of Lewiston. fresh from his
recent laureis at Mystic, and several other
good ones. Mr.. c. H. Nelson of Wsterville,
will have six horses here; and the "free-for-

arm. Dictator Chief and Maud r., will be
such a field of horses as has not been started
in Maine for many years. The managers of
Capital Park have joined the National Asso-
citation. and all races will be under National
Rules. The president has assured us that
the best order will be maintained, and good
police force will be in attendance. The
races will call together thousands of people,
which means big help to Augusta, and a
good advertisement for our city and park.

MONEY IN COTTON STALKS
An Invention That Claims to Add 80
Per Cent. to the Value of the Crop.

Per Cent. to the Value of the Crop.
From tie atlanta Constitution.
For several weeks there have been on
exhibition in the office of the Clerk of the
Superior Court sample, of pulp made Of the
hulis and stalks Of tne cotton plant. The
pulp is as white as snow aud can DO con-
verted into the finest writing paper. 1t is
regarded as valuable and is the product Of
parts OF the cotton plant hitherto deemed
YalueleSs.
The process by which ii is made is new.
1t is process by which the ligneous sub
stances of the bulls and seed are dissolved.
BY this process over 80 per cent of the fibre
is extracted from the hulls which have been
regarded as fit only for fuel in the mills, or
for feed and fertilizing purposes, and which
were sold for 81 a ton. These converted
into pulp will be worth ten times as much,
or about $40 ton. From the stalks usually
left to rot in the fields this new process
utilities about 80 per cent. OF fibre at a very
small expense. 1t has been settled that
there are fertilizing properties in the
OIL OF the cotton seed, d it is asserted
that the fibre will not decsmpoSe for
six years, and cannot be used as fer
tlllzer. This is why the woody matter
eliminated from the STALK and hull is much
more valuable as decomposlng fertilizer
than the entire seed. BY the same process
the Tamie plant and its trout leSome cousin,
the bagasse stalk, is met and overcome.
By the decorating process the fibre was
crushed and torn out by slow and expen-
slve process. In the new process the Hgine
is simply dissolved out, and the snowy films
of the ramie and the tawnier threads of the
sugarcane are coaxed out as easily as the
intantile kitten to its milk.
These specimens have been shown TO prom
inent citizens of Atlanta by Mr.. Walter T.
Forbes, who has bought ali rights for the
entire South Mr.. Forbes takes pleasure
aud pride in showing the samples and ex-
planning the modus operandi of the won
derful process. Among the specimens are
four or five varieties of pulp extracted from
the cotton hIIlls, from the stalks, from the
lintings and dustings Of the cotton mills,
from the cactus plant, from the saw pal
metto, and the ramie plant.
Mr.. Forbes is brimful of enthusiasm, and
does not hesitate to say that the new pro-
cess will revoutiouize the methods of the
cotton planter He believes it will make
the cotton crop so per cent. more valuable
than it now is Mr. Forbes has been all
through Texas. Louisiana, Mississippi and
