MAINE CENTRAL ITEMS.
Excursions Planned by General
Passenger Agent Boothby.
The Great Tide OF Travel Still Setting
Toward Maine.

No turf event this year is looked forward
to with more interest by horsemen and the
public generally than the great nationai
stallion race which is to be trotted on the
18th of next month. The race will be of
especial interest to Maine people, because
the chances are that the great Maine stallion
Nelson 2.15, will win the first prize money.
In considerable of the deep interest felt in
this race by people in this State, General
Passenger and Ticket Agent Boothby OF the
Maine Central railroad. has arranged big
excursion to Boston from the line Of the
Maine Central for the benefit of those who
desire to witness the great stallion race.
Many people In Maine will doubtless tax Q
advantage of the low rates to 20 to see the
race.
On the event of the reunion of the 10Th
Maine Regiment at Presque Isle September
18th, there will be a grand excursion over
the Maine Central to Aroostook county.
Cheap rates will be offered to Presque Isle,
Caribou, Fort Fairfield and other points in
that grand timberland county. The 25th of
September is most delightful time of year
to visit the northern part of the Pine Tree

by the Maine Central.
Yesterday an excursion of almost thou.

went to Old Orchard and Sebago Lake. Low
rates were offered to both places but the
great majority went to spend the day on the
hard sands of the grandest beach in the
world
The grand coaching parade Tuesday
among the mountains proved quite alluring
to the Maine Central officials, number OF
whom "quit work" for few hours to wit.

most splendid mountain scenery. Fair

works is quite as likely to fetch 'em, as it is
other folk.
The tide of travel is still setting into
Maine. 1t is surprising to see how many
people are going to places to the eastwood
Every train is well loaded. July last was
the banner July month for travel on the
Maine Central, and if people keep moving
as they are now it is probable that this
August will prove the banner August month
for travel. Such facts are encouraging to
people interested in the welfare of the
grand old State of Maine.

Told the Time with His Hands

There is blind man in the city who is so
proficient in spite of his misfortune that sus-
picions have been aroused that he was not
SO blind as he seemed. One popularity of
man is the ease with which he can tell time.
He pulls his watch out of his pocket, ap-
pears to look at it, and if asked what time IT
is tell his interlocutor at once. A man who
has watched him great many times has fin
ally decided that that the watch has no crys-
tai, and that the man tells the hour by feel
ing the position Of the hands.
