he Somersct Central Agricultural 80
clety held meeting in Grand Army hall
Saturday afternoon last, in accordance
with call issued by the president of the
society as announced in the REPORTER
last week.
The meeting wa. large one, all the
officers aud the trustees sld many Of TIL
members Icing preset,
The project Of enlarglng the grounds
IF the society and constructing mil
rack was discussed by Messrs. II j
Sncp 1erd, NJ 7. Pioler c. A. Marston
J. y. MIL, Ansel EIo way, L. G Emery
". -. Hayden aud uLhr"s, and the actor
Of the socieiy was unanimou " IN favor
Of the proposition If the Necessary funds
can he raised to defray the necessary eX-
pense Of purchasing land, building track,
etc.
Messrs NJ. T. P0oler, Clss. 4. Marston
and w. X. Shurtlii were appointed FL
nance committee to take measures to raise
funds by stock subscription. Gen. X. b..

and estimate the cost thereof
Messrs S. W. Gould, John Weston and
Ansel Holway were made committee to
see the owners of land adjoining the
present territory of the society and ascer-
tain prices thereof.
The large number Of members present
evinced deep interest in the enterprise
and there WAS but one voice a. to the de
STABILITY Of having Il nile track and en-
larged grounds.
The only question is in raising the
funds to carry the project along. Inc
expense is estimated at ABOUT $780, 900 and
involves the purchase of about 30 acres I
land.
There IS probably no track in Maine
that can be enlarged so easily as ours
The land is sandy plain and consequent
ly no heavy grading will be required.

He Was Not to Blame.

One day ON IA railroad car lady al
lowed her little boy, who could barely
speak distinctly, TO play about the car
and bye and bye, to the horror of all OF
us, She discovered him complacently
sitting outside on the steps. She brought
him in, and although the punishment
inflicted was mild his little heart seemed
to be completely broken. When, pres
entity, the train stopped at station
great choking sohs could be heard dis
tinctly all over the car, and suddenly
we were all convulscl by growing, re-
proachful and utterly desolate little
voice exclaiming, Say, mamma, when
a-naushty old-trainnan leayes-a
door wide open, how cana baby help
