RAILWAY MATTERS.
NOTES.

1t is understood that the Maine Central is
trying TO arrange for a transfer of passengers
with the Grand Trunk at Yarmouth juno
tion.
The Directors of the Boston & Malne Rail-
road have declared dividend of per cent
payable November 10 to stockholders of
record October 25.
The survey for the connection of the Port
land d Rochester tracks with the Union
depot has been completed and the track will
be run as follows: Starting from the
Rochester track at the end of the trestle over
the mill pond" at Deering's bridge it will
run along the bank in front of the Deering
farm under Grove street, coming out by the
double cottage owned by j. S. Palmer from
thence over the old tannery grounds passing
the pest house on the Deering side, and
crossing st. John street at its junction with
Portland street by means of long curved
bridge connecting. with the Maine Central
track south of their Portland street bridge.
1t is reported that the Canadian Pacific
Railroad Company Is endeavoriDg to secure
a lease in perpetuity of the cantilever
bridge across the falls at st. John. One of
the officers of the bridge company, when
asked II there was any truth in the report,
stated that the matter had not come before
the company, but there were rumOrs afloat
that negotiations looking to the leasing or
purchase OF the bridge were soon to be
entered upon.
All Of the suits of Col. J. N. Greene of the
Maine Shore Line Railroad against Machias
and East Machias which were expected to
come TO trial at Ellsworth last week have
been non-suited upon motion of the plaintiff
and much to the astonishmeDt of the defend
ants attorneys. They are at a loss to know
what will be the next move in the matter
Col. Greene will say nothing concerning his
business down east and it is likely that moth
ing more will be heard of railroad schemes
in that direction until spring.
The stockholders of the Dexter & Piscata-
quis Railroad, having taken all the necessary

expected after the action of the Boston and
Maine directors in reducing their dividend

Maine, but Eastern opened lever at rs.
declined to ", with recovery TO so. Do pre-
ferred declined l to 128. Gossip that the
Lowell lease may possibly be broken sent
that stock off to l52, and Central Massachu-
setts lost to 80. With the exception of
parties interested in Eastern, the action of
the Maine directors in refusing to issue addi-
tional Improvement bonds for Eastern diyi-
dends is approved as a wise AID conserva-
tive measure.

Mr.. j. II. Fifeld, of Alton. n. H., recent
ly spoke as follows when asked concerning
his horse which he trotted at Gorham and at
Saco:
81 named him Screwdriver because want
ed name that no one else was likely to
take. / bought him when he was four
months old for $40 and he is now a little
over thirteen. l have always fitted and
driven him myself, and don't you think that
haven't lots of sport behind the old gentle
man, be has started in 104 races and in all
but three he has won some money, and he
can trot faster and is better horse today
than he ever was.
II drive him upon the road principally
when l am fitting him. give him ten or
track about once week. 1 don't believe in
pounding horses around track day after
day. 1t breaks their hearts and they get
SICK Of the sight of race track.
Scre wdriyer has record in the neighbor-
hood Of 2.27, which he made two years ago,
and since then he has been trotting right
down to il"
An English writer observes that "the best
bred and thinnest-skinned horses have very
little name 1t is not only thin and fine, but
the hair Is short A heavy, matted name
means low bred, coarse brute. | am in
clined to think that in state of nature the
name divides upon both sides of the neck,
tnOuBu v lTBil writes OF tne dense name OF
the young colt falling upon the right should
er. Long as the horse has been domestcat-
ed and carefully groomed the habit of wear
ing the hair is not yet overcome, and the
name has to be carefully coaxed to the right
side, where for thousands of years man has
resolved it should be worn, though the horse
himself insists upon parting his hair in the
middle. Ancient authorities write of train
ing the name to the right, but all the horses
represented in the Elgn marbles show the
name close cropped, or, as we say, 'hogged.'
l think 1t Is clear that the right side, now
the of side of the horse, was the near side
TO the ancients. The best horsemen use no
off side. except to conform to their harness.
l think man should teach his horse to be
familiarly approached and allow his stall to
be entered on either side of him. Horses
driven in pairs should frequently change
sides, as the mouth becomes hardened on
one side and the muscles of the neck become
affected by the unequal pull of the double
reins Coarse hair about the heels is natur-
al, but confess to a prejudice against it,and
have 1t carefully clipped. Hair growing in
a thick tuft inside the ear must never be
touched. Ignorant and offici0us grooms will
remove it with scissors, but is a great de-
Tense against the flies that would, in its ab-
scence, secure Judgement upon the sensitive
skin inside the ear. Long, coarse hairs upon
the muzzle and eyebrow are often plucked
away. No h0rseman should allow this to be
done. These hairs are not superfous; they
are like the whiskers of the feline race, hav-
ing sentlent power, and conveying impress
ions to the brain"

A whale's sIumbers disturbed.

lBang0r Commerclal.I
The steamer Penobscot, which arrived
here at an early hour this afternoon, met
with a curious experience last night. About
eleven o'clock monster whale was seen to
blow under the vessels bow and an instant
later she struck the big fellow solidly. The
shock was sufficient to awaken everybody ON
board the boat and Capt. Ingraham, who
was asleep in his stateroom, started from
his bed with rush thinking that the boat
was in trouble. The whale Immediately dis
appeared, but much surprise and amusement
was manifested on board when the real
cause of the trouble was discovered. The
captain thinks that some one will find dead
whale on the coast within the next few days.
The Katahdin met with similar experience
few years ago, smashing into a whale on
her way down from Boston. A week after a
dead one was washed ashore on Thatcher's
Island, and this has always been thought the
same given its death blow by the steamer.
