DETERMINED TO SUCCEED.
Maine Mile Track Directors Propose To
Have a Fast One.

A meeting of the directors of the
Maine Mile Track Association was held
at the Preble House yesterday afternoon,
President Burnham presiding.
Secretary Barrett read letter from
Mr.. G. H. Nelson of Waterville, express
ing regret at his inability to be present,
as he had intended, by reason of unex-
pected business, and saying that his orig
inal subscription for the track of $500
was ready and, if necessary, he might be
able to find $500 more.
The ditching will all be completed this
week, and the work has been very salts
factorily performed by Mr.. Flanagan.
There was but one sentiment in the
meeting, that Of an earnest determine
ton that the track shall be built as
speedily as possible. The directors have
encountered some difficulty by their de-
termination not to go ahead until the
subscriptions are paid. They are men of
high character and financial responsible
ty, and guarantee that every dollar sub
scribed shall be refunded if the track is
not built. The association already has a
goodly sum in the bank, and if the sub
scriptions are paid up promptly the track
will be finished in short time. Mr..
Seth Griffin, the veteran fast track build
er, will soon have rest from his western
engagements in track building, and
thinks that now that the ditching is at
tended to he can grade one of the fastest
tracks in the country on that site in
very short time. Mr.. Griffin, it may be
remembered, thoroughly examined the
site of the proposed track some months
ago, and said the natural fibre Of the
soil was something he had been looking
for all his life to construct fast track
upon, and even went so far as to declare
that he could build regulation track on
that elastic foundation that would be as
fast as any kite track in the country. He
the Maine Mile Track Association is GER
tainly going to have its track, and good
one, too.
The meeting adjourned to Friday after
noon, May 9th, at $50 o'clock, at the
Preble House.
Portland Driving Association.
While awaiting the completion of the
new mile track a little syndicate was
formed in a jiffy at the Preble House
yesterday afternoon for the brief hiring
of the old Presumpscot Park. track IN
Deering for our horsemen to work their
horses on. There are scores of good
horses in Portland and vicinity that
want chance pending the opening of
the new track. Ira Woodbury. thought
he would have to take his string out to
Gorham to work them. The little syndi-
cate thatwas formed so quickly yesterday
afternoon indicates the spirit of the old
time Portland horsemen. The gentle
men who made it up were George Burn
ham, Isaac G. Atkinson, L. P. Hawkins,
Edward Fletcher, Fl. +. Farnham and Ira
P. Woodbury..
The latter gentleman will put the
track i'll fair working condition and
liberal lot of purses will be offered on
Memorial Day.
1t will be seen that all the gentlemen
interested in this movements are among
the leaders in the Maine Mile Track AS
ISOLATION, and this is only done to afford
a chance for the working of our local
horses.
